Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 965 You Better Know Your Place

“I won’t pursue this matter this time. You should give her more advice, and as for you, I will still tell you

the same thing. Go study hard, and when you graduate you can come to help me in the company.”

In the past, he couldn’t move on because of certain things, and it made him miss so many important

things in life. From now on, he never wanted to miss out on important things anymore.

George pressed his lips into a line and his heart was touched by Stanford’s words.

He remained silent because he didn’t know what to reply.

He didn’t know how to repay this forgiveness.

After some time, he was able to put his emotion in place. He simply said, “Thanks.”

There were so many things hidden in his heart that he wanted to say, but he couldn’t put them into

words. A simple word of thanks was all he could manage to express his heartfelt emotion.

Stanford remained silent too, and all the time they were strolling, they were basked in silence.

However, many things were going through their minds, and they thought long and hard.

After sending Stanford back, George returned home.

Alyssa was fine. Neither was she brought in to get interrogated nor was she caught for a crime.

However, she must be like sitting on needles from now on. Stanford was going to hate her to the core.

From this moment on, there wouldn’t be any good days ahead of her.

George ordered lunch because he didn’t know how to make food for himself. Soon, the table was filled

with all kinds of food.

“Do you still have the mood to eat?” Alyssa was resentful of her son. If she could cherish the

opportunity just now, she wouldn’t have returned empty-handed. She had nothing now.

George pretended not to hear her as she pushed Enoch to the dining table.

Alyssa couldn’t hold back anymore, “George, I am talking to you. You never know, I might be captured

by the police tomorrow.”

She knew what she had done, and she was very certain that Stanford wouldn’t just let her off the hook

without any repercussions.

George suddenly roared, “If the cops have intended to catch you, you would have been in custody by

now. You won’t wait until tomorrow.”

Alyssa was dumbfounded, “What do you mean?”

It was not like she didn’t understand what her son was trying to say. It was just hard to digest.

George let out a sigh to calm himself down, “Come here and eat.”

Alyssa came over and sat down, but she didn’t have any appetite. She looked at her son, “George, do

you know something that I am unaware of? You must help me this time, it’s for your own good.”

“For my own good?” George chuckled, “You are always saying that you’re doing something for my own

good, but in fact, you’re just thinking for yourself, no?”

“Wh—What kind of nonsense are you saying now?” Alyssa was riled up once again.

George glared at her, “Did you ever ask me about what I really want in life?”

Alyssa was at a loss for words, “In this society, you won’t get any respect and importance if you don’t

have money and power. All I am doing is to help you get some advantage. Don’t you want to have a lot

of money and power?”

George snickered coldly, “You never asked me about that. You have decided everything for me and

pretended that that’s what I want, but in fact, are those things what I want? Or are they what you are

after?”

Alyssa was speechless again, and only after some time did she open her mouth again, “Then, what do

you want?”

“I just want my mother to be someone kind and gentle…”

“What are you saying?” Alyssa slammed the table and shot up from her chair, “If I weren’t always

thinking for your sake, do you think that I would be in my position today?”

“For my sake, it’s always for my sake, don’t you dare say again that you’re doing this for my sake! It’s

just your excuse!” George also stood up with anger. He was having a standoff with her, “Those things Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

are never what I wanted! You are the one who craves for them, and you’re just using me as an excuse

to make you look noble.”

“Mum, did you ever stop to think that you’re in the wrong?” George’s voice gradually became soft.

“Ever since the beginning, you hooked up with someone else’s husband and you managed to be the

official wife and treated the son of the first wife badly. You have turned into a so-called wicked

stepmother, and do you ever regret anything? Do you ever reflect on your past mistakes when it’s late-

night?”

“Stop lecturing me, you don’t have that right. I am your mother after all!” Alyssa tried to avoid her son’s

gaze as it was embarrassing to be lectured by her own son.

“Indeed, I am in no position to do that.” George sat down, “Just eat.”

Alyssa felt that her son was acting unusually today. She tried to probe, “George, are you being

threatened right at this moment? You can tell me. I will be responsible for what I’ve done.”

George snorted coldly, “How are you planning to do that? How many mistakes have you done in the

past? You’ve kidnapped someone this time, and you could be sued for deliberate harming. You could

end up in jail. Are you prepared to be in jail for a long time?”

Alyssa turned into a deflated balloon the more she heard her son talk. She couldn’t find any words to

deny him anymore.

George took his chopsticks and began eating.

Alyssa just stared at him and felt like she had given birth to a cold and heartless son.

“Dad, have some food.” George picked up some food for Enoch.

Enoch lost his appetite too as those words of resentment by George just now applied to him in some

ways.

George shoved some food into his mouth and mumbled, “Today, when Stanford and I were on the way

here, he told me that he wished for me to go study. He didn’t want to see me wasting my life way. With

the way you treated him since he was young, not only did he not resent me, he even…”

His voice started to crack.

“Do you ever stop and think about the reason I don’t like coming back home? Instead of coming back

here, I would rather mess around out there. All I ever wanted is a warm, caring family. Do you think the

way you are treating me now is what you call love?” He laughed sarcastically, “You only love yourself

since the beginning.”

“George, mummy does love you.” Alyssa was panicking now.

“Whatever. If you think that’s love, so be it. I will just pretend that I had grown up in a caring and warm

family. I have something to tell you now.”

“Say it.” Alyssa had turned into an obedient sheep and she didn’t even dare to raise her voice. George

was her only son, and she didn’t want to lose him.

“A few days from now, I am going to study abroad following Stanford’s advice.” George looked at his

parents, “He told me that once I come back, I can work in his company.”

Alyssa’s eyes widened, “Is that for real?”

She almost couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“It’s true,” George replied confidently.

“Oh, one more thing, he wouldn’t pursue this matter this time. You better know your place.” After saying

that, George got up and was about to go out.

“George.” Alyssa chased after him, “My dear son…”

George looked at her, “Think carefully how you should act from now on. If you continue your behaviour

like always, don’t blame me in the future when I decide not to acknowledge you as my mother

anymore.”

After saying that, he pulled the door open and went out.

“Enoch…” Alyssa turned to look at her husband.

Enoch was rolling himself back into his room.

The two of them didn’t even touch their chopsticks. They had lost all appetite after listening to what

George had to say.

After leaving his house, George found Atwood.

He wanted to know how things were developing.

“Since she’s dead, the police will deal with the aftermath,” Atwood said.

“That woman deserves to die,” George said resentfully.

Atwood sighed profusely and thought that she did indeed deserve her death. For some reason, he felt

a little sorrowful.

“Are you free now? Come drink with me?” Atwood asked.

“Yeah. I have a favour to ask of you too.”

“A favour to ask of me?” Atwood felt surprised, “Mr. James has told me about not going after your mum

this time.”

Besides this, he couldn’t think of anything else.

“I know that. I am not talking about that.” George pulled Atwood, “Let’s find a place and sit down to

talk.”
