Chapter 609: Chapter 609



Theresa didn’t look at him though, she just rested her chin with one hand indifferently, “He doesn’t look familiar.”

That one sentence drew a clear line between their worlds.

Armand felt sadness in his heart, but was able to contain it on the surface as he smiled, “Are we strangers?”

Theresa also smiled as she smiled back, “Have we ever been related, why can’t I remember?”

Compared to Theresa’s nonchalance, Armand couldn’t be as nonchalant as she was, his lips were tightly pursed as he pulled the chair back and sat down, “If hurting me can make you happy, just hurt me.”

“You’re not worth hurting, you’re nothing to me, I’m not going to use any kind of feeling with you, so there’s not even hatred, I just resent people like you.”

As she said that, the hand Theresa put under the table clenched tightly, her nails almost dug into the palm, only the pain could make her stay calm.

In fact, she wanted very much to slap her several times.

When Dolores took the milk out and came out, she casually saw her little movement…. Even if she stayed calm, the small movements of her body clearly said that she was not as calm as she looked on the outside.

If she really felt nothing for Armand, how could she act like that?

What was hiding in her heart? If she could really let it go, why would she hurt others and herself?

She took a deep breath, acting as if she didn’t see anything, then asked as she poured milk into Armand’s glass, “Is Mistress Leslie all right?” She found a topic on purpose, trying to lighten the mood.

“She must be taken care of.” She couldn’t take care of herself anymore, the only change was that she could talk, before she couldn’t even do that.

Dolores nodded, “Take good care of her.”

Armand nodded, “I will, she is my only relative, I will definitely take good care of her.”

Matthew walked in, pulled the main chair and sat down, then looked at Armand, but said nothing.

Armand smiled, “Next time I’ll call Boyce and not bother you anymore.”

Matthew lifted the fresh milk Dolores poured for him and looked at him indifferently, by then he felt that Armand had deliberately come there.

Well, Theresa was there, it would be strange if he didn’t use every possible means to go.

Matthew didn’t expose him either, he just asked, “Were you drunk yesterday?”.

Armand was puzzled, yes he had drunk a lot but his mind was still clear, moreover, he deliberately let the waiter call Matthew’s phone number.

If not, how could it be a coincidence… after all, there were so many numbers in his phone, how could the waiter call Matthew?

“Could it be a coincidence?” Armand didn’t want to admit it.

Matthew looked at him meaningfully, “As long as you’re clear in the background,” he didn’t have time to think about his problem, he reached out, took the egg off the plate, peeled it and handed it to Amanda, “Do you want to study drawing?”

Amanda nodded immediately, “I want to.”

She was really interested in that, seeing that her drawing was just like the real thing, she would feel very accomplished.

“I’ll take you to someone today who specializes in drawing, do you want to go?”.

“Really?” Amanda didn’t dare to believe it.

She even asked him if she would go or not, she was simply overwhelmed by his unexpected offer, Matthew was a very busy man, how could he have time to take her there?

“Of course.” Matthew already called Abbott telling him that he was not going to the company that day, he also told her not to contact him if there was nothing extremely important.

He was going to accompany his children that day.

“Wow, I’m so glad,” she slid down the chair excitedly, ran to him and hugged his leg, “You’re great.”

Matthew rubbed Amanda’s head, she was really easy to please, from that moment on he would take more time to accompany them.

The happiest person that morning was Amanda, because Matthew was going to take her out for a walk.

After breakfast, Armand drove Matthew’s car outside the villa.

“Come with us.” Matthew leaned by the door and looked at her.

Dolores helped the children put on their clothes and sunscreen, then looked at him, “Go away, I’m a little tired, I don’t want to go out.”

If the children went out, she would have time to have a good talk with Theresa.

The child in her belly was slowly growing, it was normal for her to feel tired, although Matthew really wanted her to go with him, but he wouldn’t force her as he said she was tired, he didn’t want to tire her out, “Do you want to buy something? I’ll get it for you.”

Dolores thought about it, “I want to eat watermelon.”

“Anything else?”

“No.” She shook her head and explained, “Since you have time, play more with the two boys.”

Matthew said yes.

He didn’t go with anyone else, he just drove the car with the kids, and Dolores sent him out…. Seeing the car drive off, only then did Dolores turn around and go inside.

Lucy and Coral were doing housework, the place was too big, there were so many places that they almost had to be cleaned every day, otherwise there would be dust, it was also not comfortable to talk in the living room, she supported Theresa and went back into the room.

Theresa, who had just sat up in bed, asked, “What do you want to tell me?”.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t find an excuse to stay home, that was a rare day when her whole family could go out together.

“Tell me, what really happened to you?” Dolores gave her a serious look.

Theresa rubbed her blanket, feeling uneasy, “What could be wrong with me?”

“Talk while looking into my eyes.” Dolores was very serious, “If you’re not hiding anything from me, look at me.”

She didn’t want to force Theresa or anything like that, she just feared she was hiding something in her heart, repressing it for too long wouldn’t be good for her.

Maybe she could feel better talking it out.

Theresa couldn’t bring herself to look at her, she kept saying, “I’m doing just fine, you’re thinking too much.”

“I hope I’m thinking too much too, but your behavior made me feel very uneasy.”

Dolores reached out to take her hand, “Can’t you trust me?”

Theresa lowered her head.

Her eyes were red, she couldn’t say anything because she didn’t know how to begin.

Remembering when she received the news back then, she could still feel the sadness she felt then…back then, she was desperate, she didn’t even have the courage to go on living because her life had no meaning anymore.

After the most unacceptable and most painful process, she learned to persist, that’s why she could show herself so indifferent, restrained and tolerant when she met Armand again.

She was sure of her behavior in front of Armand, but she neglected Dolores.

She slowly looked up, there was pain in the depths of her eyes because she had lost her qualification as a woman.

“You know I was pregnant before,” he said hoarsely.

Dolores nodded, “I know.”

“I…” she couldn’t force herself to say it was okay, she still felt sadness in her heart as she was about to say that.
