Boyce didnât stop his steps and opened the car door, then got into the car. He started the car and drove away from the site.
Wendy was pinned to the spot and stamped her foot in anger.
She knew from her words that Boyce had realized something. For her fatherâs sake, Boyce wasnât about to expose her.
Wendy bit her lip and could only watch helplessly as the car drove away.
She didnât dare chase after it. She was afraid Boyce would know the real reason for her divorce, which was her black history. It was a monkey business and he couldnât expose himself.
He decided to find out why Boyce had suddenly changed his mind.
She asked herself, âWill someoneâs character change after being in an accident?â
She angrily turned around and went home.
At the same time, Theresa was still working overtime in C-Town. Armand leaned over the table and looked at Theresa greedily, âAre you hungry? Do you need me to buy you a late dinner?â
âDidnât we just finish dinner?â she was coloring a drawing on the computer, and wanted to figure out the most appropriate color for the style of dress.
Armand smiled, âIâm afraid youâll be hungry.â
âWill you shut up? Theyâre like flies now,â Theresa looked at him, âIf you keep making noise without stopping, I suggest you go home in a hurry.â
Armand immediately shut up and crouched down in front of her, âIâm not going to talk now, but let me give you a leg rub.â
Theresa pulled her hand away from the mouse and swiveled around in her executive chair to look at Armand, âWhy donât you come back, why are you so idle every day, is the company going out of business?â
Armand didnât stop his hand movements and gave her legs a good rub. He lifted his head and flashed her a smile, âYouâre going to take care of me forever if the firm closes.â
Theresa put her foot on his legs and leaned into him. She looked up at him, âI donât like men who are good for nothing.â Armand was speechless.
âDonât worry. Iâll never let you sleep in the streetâ¦â
âWait, Iâm not going to be with you,â Theresa interrupted him.
Armand blinked at her with a resentful expression, âHow can you take back your words?â
âWhat did I say?â Theresa drew her legs back and gracefully crossed them.
She looked at him weakly.
âYou said to give me a chance,â Armand wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in hers, âDonât deny it!â
Theresa pushed him away, âLet me go!â
âIâm sorry,â Armand snuggled into her embrace, âLetâs go register to get married.â
Theresaâs eyes darkened. She gave you an indifferent look, but the turmoil inside her was great, âYou tricked me last time. If I fall for it again this time, Iâll be a fool.â
âWe donât check in if youâre not willing, but donât ever imagine Iâm going to let you go,â Armand sniffed greedily at her scent, and his arms wrapped tighter around her.
Theresa frowned, âLook at you, canât you be firm like a real man?â.
Armand thought nothing of it and didnât let go, âYou know well enough if I am a man.â
Theresa was speechless.
âIâll be angry if you donât let go,â Theresa pretended to be angry.
Armand let go of her and stood beside her like a wronged wife and said resentfully, âCanât you stop threatening me?â
âYou can disobey me. I didnât ask you to listen to me,â Theresa swiveled the executive chair toward her computer desk to continue her work.
Armand gave her a look of aggravation. It was Theresa who asked him to come to the office and then left him hanging, âYouâre out of line!â.
Theresa pursed her lips, âYou can choose to quit if you canât stand itâ¦â.
Theresa hadnât finished her words, and Armand suddenly grabbed her by the shoulders. He pinned her down on the desk and leaned over to kiss her lips.
When Theresaâs back was against the edge of the desk, she felt pain and frowned. She didnât push him away or close her eyes. She lowered her gaze and looked at Armand, who was in an embarrassed rage.
âDonât say that again. Iâll get sad,â Armand was a step away from her.
He looked more serious and less light.
Theresa reached out and gently stroked his face, âYou hurt me deeply too.â
Armand was instantly discouraged and cocked his head to one side, âCanât you help bringing up old scores?â
Theresa fiddled with the short hair in front of her forehead, âYou make me suffer so much, canât I make you suffer?â Armand was speechless.
âTheresa, Iâm serious, how about I move into C-Town? Then I can be with you all the time, so I donât have to go back and forth between City C and City B,â he said as he rested his head on her shoulder.
Theresa glanced up at the ceiling, and was not dazzled by the feelings and said casually, âWeâll talk about it later.â
She wondered, âItâs still uncertain whether weâll be together in the future.â Armand was the only son in the Bernie family and was raised by his grandmother. Theresa was infertile, and Armand would be the last of the Bernie family line if he wanted to be with Theresa in the future.
Would Armandâs grandmother accept Theresa if she learned of his physical condition?
Theresa lived only a short time at Armandâs house, and she knew how much Elizabeth wanted her great-grandchildren.
Buzzâ¦
At that moment, the phone in Armandâs pocket rang. However, he didnât want to answer it and let the phone vibrate.
Theresa pushed it away, âYour phone is ringing.â
Armand buried his face in Theresaâs embrace and said sullenly, âI know, but I refuse to answer it.â
âWhat if itâs an urgent call? Pick it up,â Theresa reached into her pocket and pulled out the phone, and handed it to Armand.
Armand had to take it and glanced at the caller ID, calling from home.
He pressed the key to answer the call.
Soon Armand heard an urgent voice from the maid coming from the other end of the phone, âMr. Bernie, we have a situation here. Mrs. Bernie has fallen out of bed.â
Armand straightened up and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âI went to dry the laundry a moment ago, and Mrs. Bernie was thirsty at the time.
The glass of water was a little far from her bed. She lay down too close to the edge of the bed and fell out of it.â
Armand said, âCall 120, Iâll have someone there soon.â
âOkay, okay.â
Armand hung up the phone and made a call to Boyce. Boyce had texted Armand after buying a new phone, so Armand knew Boyceâs new phone number.
At the same time, Boyce drove his car to the villa and received a call from Armand.
âHelloâ¦â
âBoyce, my grandmother just fell out of bed and I canât come home right now.
Can you go check on my grandmother first? Iâm going to hurry back,â Armand said urgently.
Boyce replied, âIâll take care of it. You take it easy. You call me if anything happens. Iâll go see Mrs. Bernie now.â
Armand said he was fine on the other end of the phone. Boyce hung up the phone, turned the car around and headed for Armandâs house.
Dolores, who was walking along the side of the road, saw Boyceâs car.
âThatâs Boyceâs car.â
Matthew raised his head to give the car a glance, but it had pulled away from them.
Dolores frowned, âWhy is he going out again â isnât he handling the Wendy thing right?â
Matthew patted the back of her hand, âYouâre always worrying about nothing.â
Dolores thought Wendy was not a simple woman. She was the cheater in her marriage, but she would tell others that her husband was cheating behind her back. Therefore, Wendy had an impure motive.
Wendyâs intention to approach Boyce was not simple.
Perhaps she thought Boyce was a man of great promise, integrity and bachelor. Boyce was a perfect man.
Wendy definitely wanted to get close to such a perfect man.
âLetâs go home,â Matthew wrapped his arms around her waist, âAre you tired?â Dolores said no.
They waved in the moonlight and walked towards her house.
As soon as they walked in the door, they heard crying and the living room was a tangled mess.
