Chapter 527: Chapter 527



.

Soon the door to the room opened from inside, it was Matthew Nelson opening the door. When Amanda Nelson saw him, she immediately wrapped her arms around his legs, bowed her head and sweetly called out to him, “Daddy.”

Matthew went out of his way for his daughter, especially when she called him ‘Daddy’, he was delighted.

He bent down to pick up his daughter and said to Theresa Gordon “Come on in, my treat today, feel free to order whatever you want to eat.”

“Then I’ll feel free to…”, before she could finish her sentence, she realized there was another person in the private dining room, and her last word couldn’t get out.

Her eyes instantly turned to Matthew, as if to ask, “What’s going on?” how come Armand Bernie was here too?

“He came on his own.” explained Matthew, who had initially said nothing.

Theresa was still dubious about the explanation.

Armand Bernie, who was always apathetic, finally saw them come in after a long time. He raised his head to look at them, but froze at the sight of Theresa, “Hey, aren’t you the woman from the show that day?”

Theresa calmed her emotions and walked in quietly, as if she hadn’t heard his words, pulling a chair away from the table and sitting down.

She picked up a menu and asked, “May I order now?”

Before anyone could say anything, Amanda said, “Renee, go ahead and order, my father’s buying.”

Matthew hugged his daughter and sat down, pinching her cheeks. Amanda smiled and let a row of her white teeth show: “Is it okay, Daddy?”

“You decide,” Matthew said with a smile.

His daughter’s word was like holy writ to him, and it worked like a charm.

Theresa flipped through the menu nonchalantly, “Well, I’ll order whatever I want.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome, feel free to order your favorite dishes, Renee has been taking great care of us, you should eat more.” Amanda was a girl with a mouth full of honey as her words were as sweet as honey.

The atmosphere in the private dining room was a little strange, Armand leaned back in his chair with his eyes wandering back and forth between Theresa and Matthew.

He hadn’t seen a woman named Renee Gordon anywhere near Dolores Flores.

Aside from Theresa, there was Allison, but now, since the clothing store had closed, Allison had returned to A Country.

When the watered gauze was mentioned at the show that day, she could only associate it with Dolores, but there was no evidence.

Now it seemed that the watered gauze was directly related to Dolores and that she had probably run the show, but it just didn’t show up.

Then the question arose.

Who was she?

Did both Renee Gordon and Theresa Gordon have the same last name as Gordon?

Was it a coincidence, or? but it didn’t seem a high probability of it, rather Theresa had a different name?

Renee and Dolores knew each other, plus she was also familiar with the two children, so it was clearly Theresa.

Andrew Nelson was a smart guy, he could understand the current situation that everyone present knew Renee was Theresa, but only Armand didn’t get it.

Once he remembered that he had hurt Theresa and even made her change her looks and voice, he wouldn’t want to tell her the truth.

If he wanted to woo Renee again, he had to show his utmost sincerity.

Armand frowned and only realized that this meal hosted by Matthew was unusual up to that point.

Stupid as it was, this kind of relationship had made him think more.

He calmed down and pretended nothing was wrong. He tried to look calm as he approached Amanda to get more information from her, as she was the most naive and manageable in the room.

“Amy, do you still recognize me? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, do you miss me?”

Armand had no idea that the names of the two children had been changed as Matthew hadn’t said anything specifically about it yet.

It seemed she wasn’t rejecting it because Matthew also called her Amy and she had been called that for a long time, so she was used to the name.

Amanda wrapped her arms around Matthew’s neck and said with a smile toward Armand, “Of course, I remember.”

“You miss me then?” Armand stretched his head, trying to get closer to her.

Amanda shook her head, “I miss Dad.”

As she spoke, she kissed Matthew on the cheek, now that she had grown up and knew how to pout, but without leaving too much drool on his face.

Matthew wiped the corners of her mouth, as it had become a subconscious action since she used to drool when she kissed someone.

Armand was speechless.

Could this girl still talk properly to other people?

“You are so ungrateful, are you forgetting that it was Theresa and I who took care of you?” Armand glanced at Theresa as he spoke, but Theresa seemed so calm as if she had no idea what Armand was talking about.

Armand brought up the subject on purpose, as he would undoubtedly have a fluctuating expression if he were Theresa. After all, they had met in White City, where it was a place full of memories.

However, to his disappointment, Theresa did not have the expression he had expected.

“I haven’t forgotten,” Amanda replied earnestly.

Armand was not discouraged and set about asking further questions.

“Are you trying to find out Theresa’s whereabouts?” Andrew suddenly interjected.

At that instant, everyone turned their attention to him. Some were cheerful, some nervous, and some were just spectators.

The one who was cheerful was Armand, hearing this as if Andrew was going to say something, he immediately said, “Yes, do you know?”

“I know.” Andrew deliberately intervened because he feared his sister would slip up, as she was still ignorant, and might have revealed that Renee was Theresa if Armand asked a few more questions.

Theresa, who was sitting next to Andrew, could no longer maintain her deliberate calm.

She had mood swings, not because she couldn’t let go of Armand but because she didn’t want any relationship with him. Just as Andrew said, she had been reborn into a world without a man named Armand.

She grabbed and held Andrew’s hand tightly under the table, hoping he wouldn’t say anything.

Andrew patted the back of his hand reassuringly, but he was actually facing Armand, “You hurt Theresa like that, you were hurting her so much. Even if I tell you where she is, do you think she can forgive you?”

Armand tensed his neck, there were red blood vessels in the middle of his pupils, he said in a hoarse voice, “I know I was wrong, as long as she is willing to meet me, I am willing to do whatever she wants.”

He didn’t turn to Theresa when he spoke, but it was as if he was speaking directly to her.

“So, are you willing to show your sincerity?” asked Andrew again.

“Of course,” Armand replied without hesitation.

As if Theresa said she wanted his life, he would give it to her.

As long as she was willing to forgive him and give him a chance.

If Andrew could have heard Armand’s thoughts, he would have replied, ‘What’s the point of forgiving you and giving you a chance if you lose your life?’

At that moment, the waiter knocked on the door and served the ordered dishes. Theresa didn’t order much, but what she ordered was expensive and must have been worth thousands of dollars.

Theresa was relieved and finally regained her composure when she realized that Andrew would not reveal her identity to Armand.

She looked at Matthew, ‘Can the dish I ordered satisfy your appetite?’

He thought, ‘You’re not even as reliable as your son, even if you didn’t tell Armand directly, you’re obliquely revealing my identity.’

Matthew smiled slightly, ‘As long as you’re happy, feel free to ask for more.’

Well, he was the one who was unethical, so he was willing to pay for the food to relieve his excitement.

“Can I have a pot? Like this one.” Andrew pointed to the white porcelain soup pot that had symmetrical handles on both sides. The opening was shaped like a flower and sealed with a gold rim. It was a light and extravagant design.

Andrew found those two handles interesting.

“Andrew, why do you need the pot?” Amanda looked at Andrew curiously.

Andrew was very quiet, “Look closely, the handles on this soup pot, do they look like pig ears?”.

Actually, they were very delicate cutlery, but when Andrew said it, they looked like a pig’s ears when you looked closely.

“Can you bring one?” Theresa looked at the waiter and asked, she thought Andrew was just curious and wanted to play with her, not realizing he was planning something bad.

“Yes, wait a minute, I’ll get it.”

The waiter was quick to bring the pot and passed it to Theresa before leaving the private dining room.

Matthew glanced at Andrew silently without saying anything. He knew his son very well, this action must not have been with good intentions and he was planning to deceive Armand.

But it was okay, maybe Theresa would calm down and he could forgive him.

Theresa handed the bowl to Andrew, “Do you like this pot of soup? Let’s buy one tomorrow.”

Andrew nodded, “Yes, this shape is special.”

He then looked at Armand and asked, “Armand, do you really want to know Theresa’s whereabouts?”.

Armand nodded his head enthusiastically, “Yes.”

“I can tell you, but you have to prove your sincerity,” Andrew said.

Armand had a bad feeling as he stared at the pot in front of him, “What kind of sincerity do you want me to show?”
