Loredana was speechless again.
She lay back down in aggravation. She had just finished her meal and was lying down, so she felt rather uncomfortable in her stomach. Then she sat up again.
At this time, Cormac walked in and Loredana looked at him, “Didn’t you go to the office?”
Cormac said he hadn’t gone.
“Then where did you go?”
Cormac, “I went to see the doctor.”
Loredana blinked and asked nervously, “Is there something wrong with me?”
“I said I was taking you out.” Cormac came over.
Loredana was lost in thought for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she smiled joyfully, “Thank you.”
Cormac grunted, “Now you even dare to throw a tantrum with me. Do I dare disobey you?”
Loredana stretched her two thin white arms around his waist and pouted, “I’ve apologized. Why are you still talking about it? That’s no way for a man to behave.” Cormac was speechless.
If he wasn’t a man, was he a woman?
Loredana smiled, “Thank you.”
Cormac didn’t want her thanks, “We’re not going out until near noon.”
Loredana nodded immediately, “Yes.”
As long as she was allowed to go out.
She called Noah and told him not to come and pick her up.
Armand had also been discharged this morning, but the doctor had asked him to recuperate at home. Once out of the hospital, Armand pestered Theresa to get a marriage license.
Theresa said she would wait until he was well enough to get the marriage license, but Armand refused and insisted on going now. For the sake of his injury, Theresa agreed.
It took only an hour to get it done. They got out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and took the car home. As he had spoken to Elizabeth in advance, Elizabeth had asked Dora to clean up the house, open the bedroom windows for ventilation and change all the bedding to new ones.
Theresa helped Armand and rang the doorbell. Elizabeth’s legs were too weak to move in her wheelchair, so it was Dora who opened the door.
There was a stranger in the house and Armand asked, “Who are you?”
Theresa replied, “I’m the new maid who looks after Mrs. Bernie.”
Armand understood and walked in.
Elizabeth was happy to have Armand back, “Go lie down in your room.”
Armand didn’t go right away, but looked at Elizabeth and said, “Grandma, I need to talk to you.”
Elizabeth looked in good spirits and asked, “What is it?”
Armand showed her the marriage certificate, “Theresa and I have made up and got our marriage certificate. We’re a family now. You used to like Theresa a lot, and I think you can like her just as much in the future.”
Elizabeth said, “That’s for sure.”
She turned to Theresa, “You must be tired from looking after Armand in hospital. Come and sit down and rest.”
“Dora, go and get the tea.” Dora was very deft and professionally trained to do everything.
She immediately poured a cup of plain water.
Theresa said, “I’m not tired. I want to take Armand to his room.”
Elizabeth said, “That’s fine. You can rest for a while too.”
Theresa said yes and helped Armand to his bedroom. Dora carried the water and Elizabeth looked at her and said, “Put it on the table. Prepare a hearty meal for lunch. It’s a good day.”
Armand had survived his ordeal and Theresa had agreed to make up with him. It was indeed a rare good day and had to be celebrated.
Dora said yes, “It just so happens that I went to the supermarket yesterday and bought a lot of things. I’ll go and get ready now.”
Inside the bedroom.
Theresa helped Armand to lie down, then went to close the window and turn on the air conditioning.
Armand leaned over the bed and asked, “Is this nanny looking after Grandma?”
Theresa was drawing the curtains and just answered without turning around.
Armand frowned. Theresa came over and asked him what was wrong and Armand said, “She doesn’t look very old. Can she take care of Grandma?”
Theresa said, “Grandma likes her.”
Armand sighed. Elizabeth was old and her days were numbered, so they just let her be. Armand beckoned to her, “Come and rest.”
Theresa was a very soft-hearted and kind person. She gave him a chance, even though he had been such a jerk. After he was in trouble, she took care of him in every way. He saw and remembered all of this. Armand was grateful to her.
Theresa sat down on the edge of the bed and Armand took her hand, “Why don’t we move out when I’m better?”
He was worried that Theresa wasn’t comfortable living here and he was mostly afraid that Elizabeth would always bring up the baby.
“We’ll move to Boyce’s block and be neighbors with him. What do you think?”
This was really what Theresa wanted. She mainly didn’t want to face Elizabeth because she kept talking about the baby.
It didn’t matter if she was going to be neighbors with Boyce or not. The main thing was that she didn’t want to live with Elizabeth.
“Is that okay?” Theresa felt in her heart that Elizabeth would not agree. After all, Armand was the only family member she had, and she was old. Generally speaking, elderly people like to have their loved ones around.
Armand thought about it, “When I’m healed, I’ll say that there’s a hospital in City C that does IVF well and that we can find someone there, and then we’ll settle there for a while.”
He was looking out for Theresa. After all, her career was at City C. She had already sacrificed so much for him, and he couldn’t let her even lose her career again He grabbed Theresa’s hand, “I know you’re upset. When we get there, we’ll say we’ve found the right person, and when the time comes, we’ll adopt one and tell her it’s our children.” Theresa didn’t think he was thinking that much and nodded firmly.
She crouched against Armand’s chest, “I don’t want to find someone because I don’t want any trouble in the future. Even though it is our bloodline, it is still alive in someone else’s womb. It is said that a woman’s life is in danger when she gives birth. I didn’t suffer this, but I am the mother of the child. What would happen to the child one day if he found out that I had not given birth to him? But I promised Grandma. Even if I am anxious, I still want to fulfill her wish.”
She tilted her head, “I don’t want you to be left without a child either.”
Armand gripped her shoulder hard and said nothing. He just kept these feelings and affection deep inside.
