“Wait, Theresa.” Armand followed her to stand up.
Theresa said, “Go ahead with your dinner. I want to get some fresh air outside.”
Armand followed her uneasily, “What happened to you?”
“I’m just fine!” Theresa felt extremely irritated, “Don’t follow me.”
“I’m worried about you.” Armand pressed his lips, “Are you angry?”
Theresa looked back, staring at him under the street lamp. With a sneer, she said, “You asked me what I want, didn’t you? Will you give me whatever I want?”
Armand answered without any hesitation, “Yes. I’ll give you whatever you want as long as I can give it to you.”
“Okay. Since you know you’ve owed me, give me your life,” said Theresa from spite.
Armand looked at her angry face, “You are angry.”
This time he didn’t ask her but made a statement.
“Why did you skip my question? Do you want to go back on your word?” Theresa asked aggressively.
Armand stared at her and said affectionately, “Nope. I’ve said I’ll give you whatever you want. I’m a man of my word. I’ve already given up something that I’m reluctant with the most. What else can I give?”
“Okay. Give it to me then. Right now.” Theresa was furious.
“Here you go.” Armand walked to her, wanting to hug her. She pushed him away, “Leave me alone. Give me the divorce agreement tomorrow.”
After that, she turned away. Armand rushed over to grab her, “Theresa…”
“Hey, your noodles are ready. If you don’t need them, you should pay for it.” Right then, the owner of the noodle restaurant walked over. He served the noodles but couldn’t find Armand. When he came out, he found Armand was at the door.
Armand said to the owner, “I’ll pay for it.”
Theresa tried to shook him off, but he gripped her tightly, “I’m hungry. Go back with me.”
“You are hungry, just go ahead to eat.” Theresa was still angry.
Armand said with implication, “I want you to be with me.”
“Armand Bernie, do you know how disgusting you are?”
“I’m sorry, Theresa.”
Theresa was quite angry. However, Armand’s sudden apology made her calm down for a few seconds. She gazed at him for a moment. The anger suppressed in her heart faded away in silence. Armand pulled her back to the noodle restaurant and saw the noodle on his table.
The owner was afraid that he would sneak away. Holding the QR code, he urged Armand to pay.
Armand pulled out his cell phone and paid. Then he tossed the phone on the table. Picking up the chopsticks and the bowl, he picked up a piece of beef to Theresa’s mouth, “Eat it.”
Theresa frowned, “I’ve had dinner. I’m not hungry.”
“Just take a bite.” Armand put it closer to her mouth, insisting.
Theresa glared at him, “Are you nuts?”
“You can take me a lunatic.” Armand smiled.
Theresa didn’t want to be stared at by others as if she had something wrong. She opened her mouth and ate the beef from him.
Armand smiled and asked, “Do you want some noodles?”
Theresa glared at him, “If you keep making fun of me, I’ll be mad at you.”
Armand stopped. Lowering his head, he picked up some noodles and pressed them into his mouth. He asked, looking unintentionally, “When you were in City C, did Oscar take very good care of you?”
Theresa didn’t know he was asking her tentatively, so she answered, “Yeah. He’s the elder, so he treats me very well.”
That was the truth, so she didn’t need to lie to him.
Armand still lowered his head, “What about you? Did you take good care of him?”
“He’s good to me, so I should be good to him as well.” Theresa immediately realized that something was wrong, “Why do you suddenly talk about him?”
Armand raised his head and smiled at her, “Nothing. Just asking.”
Theresa looked away, “You’d better hurry up. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Armand had no appetite at all. He said, “Theresa…”
He wanted to tell her if she wanted to find a boyfriend after divorce, he didn’t hope that the man would be Oscar. He was much older than she, and Theresa was still so young. They couldn’t be happy for a long time. He wanted Theresa to find a man of the same age.
Suddenly, his cell phone received a message, which was a piece of location sharing information. Theresa cast a glance at the ID. She was Armand’s client. Armand cast a glance and didn’t pay any attention.
He wanted to continue speaking his unfinished words to Theresa. Theresa asked, “Someone messaged you just now. Don’t you want to have a look?”
Armand took a glance and said, “No need to rush. Theresa, if you want…”
Again, before he could finish his words, a call interrupted him.
Armand frowned. He disliked this call coming at such an inappropriate time. Theresa said, “Go ahead to answer it. Probably it’s something urgent.”
Armand put down the chopsticks. Unwillingly, he picked up the phone and swiped to answer. No one spoke on the other end of the line. He only heard some noises and exclaims. Faintly, he could tell that it was from his client. He looked up at Theresa, “Something might happen to my client.”
Theresa raised her eyebrows, “So?”
Armand stood up and said, “I don’t have time to tell you the details, but I think her husband must be a cornered beast who’s something desperate now.”
Theresa followed him, “I’ll go with you.”
Armand didn’t want her to go with him, afraid that there would be a danger.
“Isn’t your client a woman?” Theresa implied that she was worried about him.
Armand looked at her and suddenly smiled, “Okay, come with me. You can keep an eye on me.”
Theresa retorted, “I’m not keeping an eye on you.”
Armand smile and didn’t speak. There were a lot of cabs in front of the hospital. Soon, they hailed a cab. Armand tabbed the location information that was received just now. The destination was a community. He raised his eyebrows. His client told him that she was staying in a hotel earlier.
The location seemed to be where her house was, as he could remember her registered property record, which was in this community.
