Chapter 316: Chapter 316

Theresa Gordon didn’t bother to look at his changing face.

She put on her jacket and walked out.

Armand Bernie looked at the fallen bank card next to her foot. He picked it up and followed to it. He pulled her, who had just left the room, and dragged her with him outside.

Theresa asked angrily as she struggled, “What are you going to do?”

Armand ignored her and dragged her to the parking lot and pulled her into the car to keep her from getting out. As soon as he got Theresa in, he locked the car.

Theresa was furious and pounded hard on the car window, “Armand, what do you want?”.

Armand continued to ignore her and quickly got up to pull the car out of the hospital.

“The undeniable reality that you are unfaithful, but moreover scoundrel that makes me hate you more, How could I even think of going on with you? If I did, I’d go crazy!” Theresa rubbed her face hard as she tried to calm down a bit.

However, faced with such a foolish Armand, she really couldn’t calm down.

He simply let her down!

“Don’t you want to leave? The luggage was still at home and I’ll take you to get it.” Armand let out a jocular chuckle, “I don’t have a heart, I’m the dregs of society, and you? You just leave when you want to without hesitation, have you considered how I feel? After long deliberation, I made the decision to marry you. In fact, my ex is back, however, I don’t love her anymore. I don’t love her, but you still can’t get over it, you’d rather not have any confidence in me!”

The more Armand said, the more annoyed he became.

“If you don’t trust me. Then how could I?” Theresa looked at him, “I offered you a chance, did I tell you that you can’t see her, yet you went to see her more than once? There were opportunities for you to tell me, but you did not. If you really cared for me, you would keep me in mind, would I feel uneasy and anxious that you went to see her, would I feel miserable and upset that you went to see her? I was an orphan, although I was adopted by a decent couple and had a nice childhood, in any case, I actually feel insecure deep down and I chose to marry you, do you know I needed to build up my courage to make the decision to marry you?” his voice was raspy, “Do you know how much I expected from this relationship?”

Armand’s eyes were really red. He was unable to retort after hearing what Theresa was accusing him of.

Regardless of what the motive was, it was obviously true that he went to see Phoebe.

Theresa covered her face with both hands, “We both need to calm down.” At this point the car pulled into the local parking lot.

Armand sat down quietly, they both remained silent.

After a while, Armand opened his mouth first: “I gave this back to you.” He put the bank card in his lap and clarified, “I said that to irritate you on purpose. I hope you don’t mind.”

Theresa didn’t move or respond to what he said.

There was another snapshot of silence.

Sooner or later it was Theresa who took the main action, pushed open the car door and got out without saying anything.

Even though she remained silent, Armand really knew what she was going to do, he felt vulnerable and at the same time helpless.

He was the cause of everything that had happened, who else could he blame?

Theresa pulled the luggage and drove off, she walked to the car door and put the key on the seat, “This is the key to the house.”

She was about to leave and there was no longer any point in keeping the key.

Armand remained silent.

Theresa looked at him, but didn’t tell him she was leaving. All she did was grab her luggage and head for the outskirts of town.

Armand opened the car door and glanced behind him, “If you have time, you could go see Grandma, she doesn’t expect to see us break up, I lied and said we made up, I don’t want her to worry about us. If you don’t go see her, she will speculate that we didn’t reconcile in any way, because of her old age, could you please do that?”

Theresa paused and said, “I will.”

Not for Armand’s sake, but for Mrs. Leslie’s.

Armand stepped forward, as he wanted to make her stay, but he couldn’t come up with any reason and finally could only say, “Thank you.”

Theresa did not turn around and walked away without saying anything.

Armand closed his eyes and crouched down on the floor not caring about her image.

He scratched his hair hard and regretted not having let her stay.

In any case, at the thought of Mistress Leslie still in the hospital, he needed to pull himself together and went back to the hospital to take care of Mistress Leslie.

He could not show his disappointment in front of Mrs. Leslie.

Armand felt that at that moment he was much sadder than when Phoebe left him.

When he returned to the hospital, Mrs. Leslie woke up. Since she couldn’t speak clearly, she seemed muffled. Actually, it was normal because no one could accept that she could not speak all of a sudden.

“Ah…”

Armand reached over and took her hand.

“Ah…” Mrs. Leslie wanted to speak, Armand tapped her hand and asked, “Would you like to ask about Theresa?” Mrs. Leslie nodded.

Armand lied, “She didn’t rest well these days, I took her to rest.”

In case Mistress Leslie didn’t trust him, he added, “She’ll come when she’s free, she can rest well.”

Mistress Leslie withdrew her hand, even though she had many things to say, but everything she wanted to say came out in a sigh.

She could only pray in her mind that Armand would never break up with Theresa.

“Rest, I’ll take care of you.” Armand touched Mistress Leslie as if he were coaxing a baby.

In the Nelson Family.

The two children returned and quickly opened the red envelope. The money, probably explicit, had just come from the bank. The bills were all new and the serial number was consecutive.

Samuel Flores counted them, “They are 6666.”

Simona Flores handed hers to her brother, “You help me count too.”

Samuel looked at his sister as he muttered. She looked helpless, and reached out to take his red envelope, “We must have a similar sum.”

“How do you know it’s a similar sum in case you don’t check?”

“This is the ability to deal with individuals, we are brothers. We will not be treated unfairly.”

“Could you still check for me?” the young lady was exceptionally hardworking.

Samuel couldn’t do anything with her, so he had to spill the bills and count them.

When Samuel counted the bills, the young woman felt bored, so she picked up the money Samuel counted on the couch. She played with them stacking them, she looked up at Samuel, “Samuel, you have so much cash, how are you going to spend it, will you buy me a present for the new year?”.

Samuel looked at his sister, “I’ll buy a birthday present for mom.”

The young girl squinted, “Oh yeah. It’s almost Mom’s birthday after the New Year.”

Matthew Nelson was standing at the floor-to-ceiling window as he answered the phone call. As he listened to the discussion between them, his eyes darted around, a few seconds ago they were discussing Dolores Flores’ birthday, weren’t they?

When was it?

When would Dolores’ birthday be?

“Call me when you’ve finalized your plans.”

There was a yes, Matthew hung up the phone, tomorrow was another day before the new year, every year the company has an annual meeting. Because this year Matthew was not with the company for a long time, so this year’s agreement was a little late, in time for the day before the New Year.

The domestic and foreign branches would also present year-end reports.

Abbott Baron phoned her as soon as she walked in the door and informed her of the situation. Dolores came upstairs, the two children were counting money on the sofa, and Matthew and Victoria Forbis were not present.

“When is your mother’s birthday?” she asked her son.
