Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 944 Lonely for Life

Amanda heard someone walked in. She knew it was Stanford, but she didn't turn around.

Stanford stared at Amanda's back and walked into the meeting room. Stanford turned and looked at Amanda when he walked to the seat opposite her. It was a familiar face.

Stanford called her name subconsciously, "Amanda."

Amanda looked up, and she looked expressionless, "Mr. James."

It was a distant and cold appellation.

Stanford sat opposite Amanda, "Are we that distant now?"

Amanda smiled, "Did we ever got close? We've been sleeping on the same bed for three years. You never understand me, and I never got to step into your heart. Weren't we distant all along?" Stanford couldn't help but stared at Amanda, "Last time..."

"The reason I'm here today wasn't because of what happened last time. Let's talk about the current," Amanda pushed the iPad she brought to Stanford. It was showing a piece of breaking news. The Aegis Security Services announced its bankruptcy just when J&Y Group invested the last amount of capital into it.

It meant every penny J&Y Group invested was wasted.

Of course, it was only how it looked like.

The money would be transferred to RM Group in another way.

They both knew about how it would end. Stanford looked calm. He took a glance at the new, then raised his head and stared at Amanda, "I owe you that."

An emotion finally appeared in Amanda's calm eyes. She asked, "Was it only money that you've owed me?"

Stanford remained silent.

He slowly clenched his fists on the table.

Amanda stood up, "You've owed me my life. No, two lives. That fire was supposed to kill two people, but I survived it. Stanford, you can never pay back what you owe me." Amanda turned around and wanted to leave the room. She stopped when she was at the door. Amanda told Stanford, "Stanford, this is the end between us."

Then, Amanda exited the room.

"Wait up," Stanford grasped Amanda's hand. His eyes were red, and he was choked by sobs, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Amanda raised her head and asked, "Tell you about what?"

"The child," Stanford sounded hoarse.

Amanda laughed. Her eyes were red as well. She asked Stanford, "Did you give me a chance? Have you forgotten how determine you were? Do you need help to recall it?"

Stanford didn't know how to answer Amanda. He felt heartache.

It was so painful that it was hard to breathe.

Stanford was the reason why the child was gone.

But Stanford was pushing his luck, "You're lying because you wanted revenge, are you?"

"I would never curse my child no matter how much I hated you. You don't worth it," Amanda made every word clear.

Stanford stared at Amanda's eyes. She was tearing. "I killed my baby?"

Stanford wanted to hear Amanda say no.

But the truth was he did kill his child.

"I'm sorry..."

Stanford didn't know what else to say.

Amanda got away from Stanford, "I don't need your apologies. I'll only curse you for not having love in your life. You won't be able to enjoy the happiness a family bring. You're going to be lonely for life." Then, Amanda left the room.

Stanford stood still like a statue and watched Amanda leave.

The heartache was so strong like Stanford was stabbed by a dagger in his heart.

He could only stand up by leaning by the door.

"Mr. James," Atwood was nearby. He quickly walked over when he saw Stanford unwell. Stanford was already chasing after Amanda before Atwood got near to Stanford.

Amanda was already in the car. Gerben saw Stanford chasing after Amanda from his rear-view mirror. However, he didn't wait for Stanford. Instead, he stepped hard on the accelerator.

The car moved forward like an arrow.

Stanford recognized Amanda's car. He was still chasing after Amanda's car.

It didn't matter if Amanda still hated him.

Stanford wanted Amanda back like crazy.

Cars were racing on the road.

Gerben was speeding. It was impossible for Stanford to catch up to Amanda's car. However, Stanford won't give up. He was chasing after the car like crazy.

Stanford saw the car turned right and got into a tunnel. He wanted to take a shortcut and crossed the tunnel from the flyover on the left. At the same time, a car drove out from the tunnel on the left. The car was speeding, and it was dark in the tunnel. It was already too late when the driver saw a person in front of his car. The driver was terrified, "Go away! Get out of here!"

Stanford turned around, and the car was too near. He tried to get away from it, but he was too late. Stanford got hit by the car. Stanford and the car was nearby the entrance of the tunnel. Stanford flew to the entrance as the car hit him, then fell onto the ground.

The car only stopped a few metres away after hitting Stanford.

Stanford laid on the ground. He felt some warm liquid on his face, and he was slowly losing consciousness, "Amanda, I...I liked you. I...want you to stay...with me."

Then, Stanford drowned in darkness. He became unconscious.

Amanda didn't know Stanford went after her car. She was checking the air ticket she bought using her phone.

Gerben looked at her through the rear-view mirror, "I think I saw Stanford chasing after you. I got rid of him." Amanda raised her head, then turned around, but she didn't see anything.

"Should I stop the car?" Gerben asked.

"No. You've done a great job. I don't want to see him."

Gerben wanted to seek credit, "Am I smart or what?"

"You're not stupid to start with," Amanda kept her phone away into her pocket and answered Gerben. Then, she closed her eyes to get some rest. It was obvious that she didn't want to talk anymore. Gerben knew Amanda needed some rest, so he remained silent and drove to the airport.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the airport. Gerben saw Amanda off, "Not sure if we're going to meet again next time."

Gerben and his brother were going to leave as well after everything got settled here. However, Gerben and Amanda weren't heading in the same direction. Amanda was going to T Country, and Gerben was heading to M Country. He was going to report what happened here to Abbott, then returned to the army.

After all, they came out from the military.

Amanda was holding some light luggage. She looked at Gerben and said, "I very much appreciated you and your brother's help even if we didn't know each other long enough. Thank you." Amanda bowed to Gerben, "Help me to say goodbye to your brother."

Gerben's younger brother, Gerald, didn't come along with them.

"Sure. I'm glad to meet you. If you need a bodyguard in the future, look for me. You'll be able to replace me if you contact Mr. Baron," said Gerben.

"Got it," Amanda shook Gerben's hand, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Amanda then headed to the departure gate with her light luggage. When she arrived at the gate, she turned around and looked behind. The departure hall was full of people. Some people were hugging each other, some were holding hands, and some were seeing their friends or family off with a smile.

Amanda could see all emotions in the departure hall. Love, friendships, and family bonds. Amanda looked down, then turned and walked into the departure gate.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
