She was so kind that she cooked for her actually, she was so glad about that.
Armand made the right choice to marry her.
Armand wasn’t around and the maid didn’t sit in. There were only Theresa and Mrs.Leslie at the table, Theresa didn’t have an appetite, she simply didn’t want Mrs. Leslie to know what was in her mind so she forced herself to eat some, “I heard that you like to eat these, I didn’t make the dish well indeed…”
“Excellent, it’s already very good, I found it’s delicious.” Mrs. Leslie picked up a piece of crispy bean curd. Although Mrs. Leslie was old, her teeth were still tough, as long as it wasn’t too hard, she could eat it.
“You eat as well.” Mrs. Leslie served soup to Theresa, “We need to eat white radish in the summer as the saying goes people eat white radish during winter and eat ginger during summer. The saying is actually logical.”
Theresa grinned as she agreed.
She finished the soup that Mrs. Leslie served to her.
After eating, she helped the maid to tidy up the kitchen and then watched TV with Mrs. Leslie in the living room.
After ten o’clock, Mrs. Leslie was drowsy.
Theresa held her and helped her got into the house, “You sit down first, I will get you a pot of hot water to douse your feet, so you may sleep soundly.”
After today, she might leave, she treated her with filial piety.
After all, she used to call her grandma.
She got the water in the restroom. She tested the temperature of the water with her hands and felt that it would not be hot before she took the towel and brought it out, she put the water bowl close to Mrs.Leslie’s feet and brought her feet into the bowl, “Will it be too hot?”
“No, I’m fine with it. If it’s too cold, then it will be uncomfortable.” Mrs.Leslie peered down at Theresa and reached out to caress her head, “You are a good kid, Armand is so blissful that he could marry you.” Theresa bowed her head, the tears streamed down, and dropped into the bowl of water.
“I’m the one who is blissful that I can meet you, regardless of what occurs later on, I will still treat you as my grandma.”
Mrs.Leslie didn’t hear clearly what she said, she just said cheerfully, “Oh girl, stop saying so. You wedded Armand, then I’m your grandma, you can’t deny it.”
The water turned cold, Theresa took the old woman’s feet out and dried them. She helped her lay down and rested, “It’s late, sleep early.”
Her feet were comfortable after washing them, Mr. Leslie hummed. “You too, sleep earlier. Armand has not yet returned, you call to hurry him, let him return early.”
Theresa covered Mrs. Leslie’s but then she stopped and nodded her head, “I will, you may just rest without worrying about us.”
Mrs.Leslie shut her eyes happily, Theresa brought the bowl of water into the washroom and discharged it, she put the towel aside and left while Mrs. Leslie was tired and was at that point sleeping right now, Theresa walked soft and shut the door of the room.
Right now, the maid rested as well, the whole living room was empty and quiet.
She was able to hear her own breathing.
She got back to the room, the luggage was still positioned on the bedside, she didn’t clean up and sleep, but went to the window, tenderly lift the drape, the night was getting dull, and she didn’t have a sense of drowsiness.
She looked at the dull and bleak sky. There wasn’t even a star, very much like her feeling now, there was no light and appeared to be hopeless.
She paid for her foolishness.
She thought that she could make it with Armand.
She thought that possibly he would fall in love with her.
She thought that she loved him.
But after all, only her last thought was true.
She was drawn to him, but what he gave her was a strike.
She was left alone and pitiful in the haziness of the evening.
And now, he was having a great time with the woman he loved. Was he having a heart-to-heart conversation with her?
Nope, to be exact, they just continued their relationship and expressed their feeling.
Theresa stood by the window and Armand was back at the crack of the dawn.
He pushed open the door of the room, he also didn’t sleep for the entire night. His face was pale. He saw Theresa was standing by the window. When he was about to ask her, how came she to get up so early. As he touched the luggage on the bedside, he was a bit shocked.
“Theresa.” His voice was somewhat low and somewhat terrified, “What did you get luggage for?”00000000
Theresa turned around slowly. With this movement, she realized that her legs were numb. She bent down to rub her knees. Armand quickly walked over to look at her legs, “Are your legs not well?” Theresa remained silent.
Armand reached out to massage her legs, but he was pushed away by Theresa.
“Don’t need to trouble you.”
Armand raised his head, “I have something to tell you, last night…”
“You were with Phoebe.” Her words were firm. It wasn’t a question, it was a firm statement.
Armand widened his eyes, “How did you know?”
Theresa laughed, “A reunion of the past lovers, wasn’t it fun?”
Armand felt restless in his heart, “Don’t misunderstand, there’s nothing between me and her, she requested for me to keep her company for a night…”
“I know.” Theresa pointed at the lipstick stain on his neck. She wanted to say to him nonchalantly, ‘Isn’t she just an ex-girlfriend?’
‘Wasn’t it just a night? I don’t care.’
But she wasn’t as gracious as she wanted herself to be, and she couldn’t endure this kind of cheating!
“I’ve already seen it, you don’t even have any regard to my feelings. Are you showing me on purpose?”
Armand reached out to touch his neck, the lipstick stained his hands. He recalled, when he was about to leave, Phoebe had hugged him, refusing to let him leave. It seemed like she had kissed his neck then, it must have happened during that time.
“Please hear me out, we didn’t do anything. It was her that kept pestering me, I’ve already told her everything clearly…”
“Armand!” Theresa cut him off. She raised her head, stopping her tears from trickling down, “Let’s break up on good terms. It’s lucky that you haven’t gotten the registration. What happened in White City, let’s treat it as just a farce. I have already packed all our stuff.”
She fished out the thing that was given to her by Mrs. Leslie, and put it on the bed, “I shouldn’t have taken this since the beginning. Now that I’m leaving, even more so I shouldn’t be taking it. Whether you wan to keep it for yourself, or whether you want to continue giving this to Mrs. Leslie, it’s up to you. Seeing that we are still acquaintances, let’s not make things too awkward.”
She turned to look at Armand. With all her might, she squeezed out an uncomfortable smile, “I’ve said all I wanted to. Finally, I wish you happiness.”
Finishing her words, she pulled her suitcase, and went to open the room door. Armand grabbed her suitcase from her hands, “I don’t allow you to leave!”
“Who said you can end it just like that?” Who are you to say it’s just a farce? You’ve already put on the wedding gown, and promised to God that we would stay together, in front of all my closest relatives and friends. How can you leave just like that? Let me tell you Theresa, you can’t even step out of here!”
Theresa wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes, “Armand, you are an adult, don’t be so childish.”
