“How am I childish?” Armand retaliated.
Theresa retreated a few steps, her tone particularly firm. She admitted that she did like him a little. However, she couldn’t accept disloyalty.
She couldn’t resign quietly to it, so she could only give it up.
“What you’re doing now is very childish, if you don’t want to talk properly, we can go the legal way.”
Armand’s Adam’s apple moved up and down. What was she talking about?
Legal way?
“How do you intend to go the legal way?”
Theresa clenched her fists, and forced herself to remain calm, “We don’t have a marriage certificate, so firstly our marriage is not valid in law. You had cheated in the first place, so I have a right to set my boundaries clear, so you cannot harass me.”
“I didn’t cheat on you.” Armand reiterated, “I’ve already told you, nothing happened between us…”
“You didn’t come back for the whole night, and there’s even a lipstick stain on your neck. Then you tell me, there’s nothing going on between both of you. Armand, do you think I’m a three-year-old child?” “Why do you not believe me? She wanted me to keep her company for a night, and then she won’t pester us anymore from now onwards.”
Theresa laughed heartily, until her tears rolled down. She wiped them, “Armand, do you really care about me?”
“Of course.”
“Do you treat me as your family?”
“Of course, we sleep on the same bed, of course we are very close.”
“Then are you hiding anything from me?”
Armand remained silent.
Yes, but it wasn’t about Phoebe, it was about his parents.
He didn’t think that was anything serious.
“We all have something that we don’t want to talk about right?”
“You told your ex-girlfriend about it, but you don’t want to let me know. You said we are the closest family. But, it looks like you are even closer to her than me. She can share your secrets with you, but for me, I don’t know anything.” Theresa didn’t want to continue being around him, wasting her time.
“Return me my suitcase.” She softened her voice, allowing herself to calm down.
She shouldn’t be accusing him right now.
If she had decided to break up, there was no use in pointing fingers.
The more she entangled herself in this, the more heartache she felt.
It would be better if she cut things off.
“I won’t.” Armand didn’t let go.
“There’s nothing much inside anyway, it’s fine if you don’t want to give it back.” Theresa didn’t want her suitcase anymore, she didn’t want to continue debating with him anymore. She opened her room door.
“I won’t agree to the divorce!” Armand hugged her from behind.
“I’ve already said, our marriage wasn’t valid, I’m not divorcing you. Now that I’m leaving, can’t you leave a good final impression for me?”
“I don’t want to.” Armand was in utter despair. Theresa was being very serious, and she really wanted to leave. Her words, her actions, were all too firm.
“There’s really nothing going on between me and her, she was drunk, and bluffed me into going over…”
“What are you guys doing?” Mrs. Leslie had heard the commotion. When she listened carefully, it sounded like Armand and Theresa were having a fight. Without even having time to put on her clothes, she draped on her clothes and came out.
With a look, indeed, it was really them quarrelling.
Noticing the suitcase behind Armand, Mrs. Leslie was taken aback, “You, what are you guys doing?”
Mrs. Leslie was very anxious, she pointed at Armand, “Did you do something wrong to make Theresa angry.”
Armand let go of Theresa, and came over to comfort Mrs. Leslie, “We are alright, you go back to your room first.”
“Seeing you guys like this, how can I go back to my room?” Mrs. Leslie yelled, slapping him on the back. After hitting him, she said in heartache, “You are already an adult, why are you still worrying me every day?”
“It’s my bad.” In order to calm Mrs. Leslie down, to soothe her anger, Armand quickly admitted his mistake.
“If you want to admit to your mistakes, do that to Theresa.” Mrs. Leslie ignored Armand and walked over, pulling at Theresa’s hand, “Theresa, if he did something wrong then you just give him a beating. You guys have just gotten married, how can you leave just like that? On behalf of me, forgive him one more time?”
Theresa didn’t want to make Mrs. Leslie sad. However, she was even more unwilling to continue being around Armand, “Grandma, there’s no right or wrong between me and him, our personalities are incompatible, that’s why we decided to break up. I think, he will find someone more suitable for him in the future…”
“There won’t be anyone more suitable!” Mrs. Leslie interjected her, “Yesterday you cooked for me, and helped me washed my feet. Were you already thinking of leaving then?”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Leslie’s eyes reddened. She clutched Theresa’s hands tightly without letting go, “What are you unhappy about him, tell me, I will give him a lesson on behalf of you. Promise me, you won’t leave, alright?”
Theresa lowered her head, her tears streaming down her face, “I’m sorry Grandma.”
Mrs. Leslie’s body shook, “You are still leaving?”
At this moment, the doorbell rang.000000000000000
The servant had already woken up, but seeing that there was an argument, as a servant, she didn’t dare to speak up.
Hearing the doorbell ring, she went over to open the door. In her mouth she was mumbling, “Early in the morning, who could it be?”
Opening the door, Phoebe was standing outside.
The servant didn’t know Phoebe, asking, “Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Armand.” Phoebe smiled.
The servant turned over to look at Armand, “A lady here is looking for you.”
Mrs. Leslie was quick to react, she let go of Theresa’s hand and walked over. Seeing that it was Phoebe, her face immediately changed. She said fiercely, “What are you doing here?”
At this moment, Phoebe saw Armand and Theresa who were standing by the door, as well as the suitcase that was hidden behind Armand. She thought to herself, was Theresa leaving? She smiled, as if she hadn’t seen Mrs. Leslie’s ugly expression, “Grandma I’m here to see Armand.”
“Who’s your Grandma!” Mrs. Leslie was not the least bit polite to her. In the past, before Armand became wealthy, he was dating her, and he hadn’t had such a nice house.
When Armand brought her back, she was even a little disdainful.
She later dumped him, making him so devastated. Therefore, Mrs. Leslie didn’t have a good impression of her, she always had a feeling that she was a gold-digger. She didn’t even know why she had left in the past.
