Chapter 635: Chapter 635



.

Boyce was trustworthy. Matthew wasn’t worried about him at all, “Call me if you need anything.”

Boyce replied, “Sure, I’ll talk to you later.”

So, Boyce got up. At the same time, Boyce’s phone rang in his pocket. He pulled out the phone and saw that the call was from Officer Miller’s office.

Boyce didn’t answer it right away. Instead, he glanced at Matthew: “It’s Officer Miller. He may need me for something. I have to go.” Matthew nodded.

Armand stared at Boyce, who left, and then gave Matthew a look, “Is it done?”.

Armand still didn’t seem to understand what was going on.

However, no one answered him. Matthew walked over to his desk and looked at Armand: “Aren’t you leaving?”.

Armand wanted to stay here without doing anything?

“My girlfriend is at your place, where should I go, your place?” Armand walked over to the desk and stared at Matthew, “Tell me the truth.”

Matthew opened the document Abbot placed on his desk. He asked without raising his head, “What truth?”

“How did you get Dolores to forgive you?”. Armand blinked. He had done everything he could for Theresa, but she didn’t look like she was going to forgive him anytime soon.

Not even a single sign of forgiveness.

All Armand wanted was to get his wife back. Why was that so hard?

It was harder than going into space.

Matthew was distracted from the documents in front of him. He raised his head and looked at Armand, “Show her your charisma.” Armand was speechless.

What was his charisma?

Armand approached Matthew with a thick face, “Show me how.”

“You’re stupid,” Matthew insulted Armand without hesitation.

Armand was speechless again.

Armand straightened up and laughed, “Don’t think I don’t know how you got Dolores to forgive you after several tries.”

Matthew looked at Armand coolly, “Then why bother asking me?” Armand choked on his words. After a long pause, Armand laughed and said, “I panicked. Help me, please. At least give me an idea.”

Matthew said, “I don’t have time.”

Matthew again rendered Armand speechless.

“I’ll go to Dolores if you don’t help me. I’ll ask her to help me,” Then, Armand headed for the entrance.

Armand didn’t want to disturb Dolores. He knew Matthew too well. He said it just to provoke Matthew.

Matthew loved Dolores too much.

He wouldn’t let Armand bother Dolores.

Armand purposely slowed down the speed with which he turned the doorknob.

“Wait!”

Matthew stopped Armand before he left the room.

Armand put on a look of circumstance. He turned around and asked, “What?”

Matthew pressed his temple. In truth, he had no experience of courtship. As for Dolores, he forced her at first, then slowly accepted her. It was a process.

Just like the need for time in any relationship. There was no such thing as love at first sight. Instead, people saw the good or the bad in another person, then were slowly attracted.

Matthew knew exactly what Armand was thinking.

But he didn’t call him. Armand was going to date him as long as he didn’t get Theresa back.

It wasn’t a good thing. It wasn’t a good thing for Theresa to keep Armand waiting either.

“Tell me, what do you want me to do?”

Armand laughed and walked over. He leaned on Matthew’s desk and got very close to him.

Matthew stepped back, “Stay away from me.”

What was the need to get so close to him?

Armand frowned and thought, “Who wants to get close to you? I don’t like men.”

“Have Dolores get Theresa out of the house. There are too many people. I can’t even tell Theresa what I wanted to tell her. I want to see her out,” Armand said.

Matthew stared at him. He didn’t promise Armand right away as he was thinking if it might work and if it might involve Dolores.

Theresa might blame Dolores if Armand did anything too aggressive.

That wasn’t what Matthew wanted to see.

“Let me call.”

Armand quickly stopped Matthew before he dialed the numbers, “Would Theresa come out if you told her now?”

“You’re such a wimp,” Matthew shook off Armand’s hand, “How would she get out if I didn’t call?”

Armand said nothing. He put his hand down.

Matthew called Dolores.

But Matthew told Armand earlier that, if Dolores didn’t want to do it, he wouldn’t make her.

It was important not to offend Dolores.

Armand curved his lips and thought, “Friends before friends.”

Armand only dared to think it in secret. He didn’t dare say it out loud.

Armand was afraid Matthew wouldn’t help him.

Dolores was discussing the design of an order with Theresa. It was a Chinese wedding dress. They were asked to use mandarin ducks as the theme of the dress.

The mandarin ducks symbol was great, but they had to put on their thinking hat and see how to put it on the dress. The mandarin ducks needed to be integrated into the design of the gown, and also highlight their symbolism in the design.

Theresa was thinking of a two-piece dress with a coat.

Dolores was looking for pictures of mandarin ducks, and deciding which one was suitable to be embroidered on the dress.

Dolores’s phone moved aside and rang. Dolores picked up without giving the caller ID a glance, “Hello.”

“Is it good for you to talk now?”

It was Matthew. He’d just left, why was he calling now? Dolores glanced at the screen of her phone and confirmed it was Matthew’s number. She held the phone to her ear, “Yes.”

Theresa was close to Dolores. She could hear Matthew’s voice from the phone. She leaned across Dolores’ ear and whispered, “Matthew wanted to have a private conversation?”

Dolores pushed Theresa away slightly.

Theresa wanted to tease Dolores. She put her arms around Dolores’ shoulder and tried to listen to what Matthew said to Dolores. But of course, Theresa didn’t want to hear the wrong thing. Theresa teased Dolores at first, but then she heard Matthew say, “Armand is with me.”

Dolores heard Armand’s name. She didn’t try to hide it from Theresa.

Dolores asked, “What did he want?”

“He wanted to see Theresa.”

Dolores looked at Theresa and asked over the phone, “And?”

“He needs your help to get Theresa out of the house, do you think that’s feasible?”

Matthew respected Dolores’s opinion.

After all, they were a couple. Matthew couldn’t lie to Dolores and trick her into getting Theresa out of the house.

Dolores couldn’t make up her mind about Theresa either. She turned to give Theresa a look and asked for her opinion.

Theresa nodded.

Dolores then replied, “That’s right.”

“So, shall we eat together?” asked Matthew.

“Sure. You decide where to eat then,” Dolores said.

Dolores hung up the phone after Matthew agreed to her suggestion.

Dolores glared at Theresa, “What were you thinking?”

Theresa paused and said, “I wanted to set the record straight.”

“Are you sure?” Dolores wasn’t sure.

Dolores felt that Theresa and Armand still had feelings for each other.

“His grandmother wants a grandchild very badly and I’m infertile. You see he likes children too. We’ll get into endless fights about not having children, even if we stay together now. We’d better get it over with as soon as possible,” Theresa sounded determined.

“Don’t you see? Armand loves you very much, otherwise he wouldn’t keep coming after you. You keep stringing him along, but he never gives up. He’s determined. Why don’t you tell him the truth and see how he reacts? And then just decide what to do based on his reaction.”

Theresa shook her head, “I can’t. I just can’t. I don’t like myself for being like that, and I can’t accept a flawed marriage.”

Whatever they said, Theresa felt that marriage would not be complete if a couple could not have children of their own.

The proverb says that a child is a pledge of a couple’s love.

What did they have?

They had nothing.

“So you were planning to stay single?” Dolores was worried about Theresa.

Theresa shook her head, “I won’t be,” Theresa smiled at Dolores, “Didn’t Oscar say he said he was coming?”

Dolores nodded, “Yes, his flight is at ten.”

Wait, what did this have to do with Oscar?
