Theresa likely comprehended, in other words, if she wanted to cut off the relationship with Armand, both of them would need to discuss with him.
“Wait, I’ll ask our boss.” The assistant wasn’t truly adept at dealing with such things. He needed advice from Armand. He called Armand.
Right now, Armand was sitting on the couch, and Phoebe didn’t bother him, she was sleeping beside him instead.
When he heard the telephone ring, he thought it was Theresa and promptly took out his telephone, and when he saw that it was the assistant, his face looked serious. He pressed the button and answered the call, “What’s up?”
“Here comes a customer who needs to get some information about some lawful issue, I don’t know much about …”
“Look for Mr. Wong, he’s good at handling lawful issue about marriage.” Now Armand didn’t want to manage such things.
After saying that, he hung up the telephone.
The assistant looked at the phone for quite a while. Armand was not like this usually, he was so careful and serious about work, what was wrong with him?
Theresa asked, “Are you calling Armand?”
She just speculated, the voice she heard was just like Armand’s.
The assistant nodded and mumbled, “It’s Armand, I don’t have the foggiest idea what he’s occupied with, usually, he’ll be patient and explain to me, unlike this time, it’s extremely surprising.” Theresa grinned, he was now dating his mistress, how would he focus on work?
He probably had totally forgotten that she was actually waiting for him.
What could she expect from him?
She stood up, the assistant put down the PC and followed, “Mr. Wong is excellent at handling this type of cases, would you like me to contact Mr. Wong for you?”
Theresa said, “I will come back again if I need your help.”
She turned back and left the chamber, she remained on the road for some time. It was still the same blue sky but people changed Perhaps it was all false from the beginning.
Presently the time had come to end it.
She took a taxi to get back.
Mrs.Leslie was not there, the house was in dead silence, she got back to the room. She found her luggage from the cabinet, she put all her attire and daily supplies in it. She didn’t have many things initially, simply because the warm clothes for winter occupied more space, in any case, the luggage was enough for all her things.
She sat on the edge of the bed. The area below her feet was the place where Armand slept last evening.
Out of no reason, she grinned.
From the start, she thought that Armand cared about her feeling so he didn’t sleep with her.
She thought clearly about it again, wasn’t it because the lady he loved had returned and he wouldn’t want to stay close with her?
What exactly was she to him?
Was she just a sex object?
Someone opened the door, the voices of the maid and Mrs.Leslie could be heard. They were talking to each other and Mrs.Leslie was in a good mood and talked happily. This was a matter between her and Armand, she didn’t need Mrs. Leslie to know, she was too old to even think about dealing with something like this.
Not for the sake of Armand, just because that Mrs. Leslie treated her very well.
She pulled open the door of her room, the maid was hanging the laundry for Mrs.Leslie.
“I don’t know that you’re home.” When the old woman saw Theresa, she was a bit astonished, then, she grinned, “Come, sit down, I have something great to share with you.”
Theresa faithfully sat down on the couch, and the old woman grasped her hand excitedly.
“What great thing makes grandmother so happy?” Theresa concealed her feelings well, without letting Mrs. Leslie realized it at all.
Despite the fact that she had not spent a long time with Mrs. Leslie, her thoughtfulness, and friendliness had effectively melted her.
Regardless of how she and Armand were, she couldn’t hurt Mrs.Leslie.
“I met a face reader today, he said that my face is ruddy and I would be blessed with good fortune which means something great is occurring.” Mrs.Leslie actually believed in face reading. Most elderly folks believed in face reading.
People from the previous generation were more superstitious.
Theresa couldn’t help but giggle, “Do you just believe what he said?”
The old woman’s eyes widened, “Let me tell you, I didn’t tell him that I had a grandson, however by reading my face, he could tell that I had a grandson who got married and said that one year from now I would get a great-grandson, could I not trust it?”
The housekeeper interrupted, “Mrs. Leslie was so glad that she gave him a red packet with a considerable amount of money.”
The grin on Theresa’s face gradually faded away.
Mrs.Leslie held Theresa’s hand tighter and came closer, “Theresa, about this, I’m counting on you.”
As she said, her eyes fell on her tummy, “Maybe my great-grandson has already been in your womb.”
Theresa couldn’t fake a smile, nor could she say anything to coax the elderly person.
When Armand returned, she will leave and to repay Mrs.Leslie’s thoughtfulness, she stood up, “Let me cook.”
She cooked for Mrs.Leslie.
“No need, just sit here.” Mrs. Leslie pulled her and didn’t let her do anything, “It’s New Year’s Eve, where is Armand? Is that he still hasn’t completed his work in his office?”
Theresa said nonchalantly, “Perhaps.”
“This fellow deserved a punch in his face. He had no sense of time and family, when he comes back home, I would beat him up.” Mrs.Leslie really thought was that if he didn’t come back home, how could she get a great-grandson then?
Theresa alone couldn’t have a baby.
The night was falling, and Armand still hadn’t come back.
Theresa insisted prepare a meal for Mrs.Leslie herself despite that Mrs. Leslie was stopping her.
Her cooking skill wasn’t good, however, she just did it as a token of her regard.
With the guidance of the maid, she made a couple of dishes that Mrs. Leslie ordinarily enjoyed more.
Pork Ribs and Turnip Soup were a great dish to eat in winter, and there came the crispy bean curd, seared shrimp with garlic, and boiled Chinese yam. All was a light diet.
The food was cooked and served on the table, Theresa washed her hands to serve the rice, and called Mrs. Leslie to eat.
Mrs. Leslie was still so happy about what occurred during the day as she was told that she can get a grandson, of course, she was so happy about that.
So she didn’t pay attention to Theresa and didn’t discover what was wrong with her.
