Snare of Love

Chapter 800 I Am Not Happy

Theresa saw it but she did not say anything. She knew why Elizabeth called Armand too. It was all

about the child’s matter.

She was down again. Child, for her, was an intractable problem.

At first, she thought that she would solve the problem by agreeing to have surrogacy but she failed.

Armand kept his phone and said, “Junk phone call from sales promotion.”

Theresa pretended that she did not see it and smiled while she was saying, “The promoters nowadays

are irritating. The one, who sells insurance, sells houses and loans all call to expand their business.”

Armand said, “Yea, so irritating.” He looked at her, “We still have some time, is there any place that you

wish to go?”

Theresa shook her head.

“A film is recently released with pretty good reviews, let’s go and watch it?”

Theresa said, “Sure.”

It was okay for her to go anywhere as she did not have a particular place that she wished to go.

Armand took out his phone to search for the nearest available time slot.

The nearest one was more than two hours away, so he said, “Let’s eat first before we go.”

Theresa said, “You arrange it.”

They got out of the law firm and got into the car. Armand drove. When he just started the car engine

and was about to drive it away, the phone in his pocket rang again. It was from his house. Armand

hung up again with no expression.

When he was about to switch it off, Theresa said, “Send me back to my place, and you go back to see

grandma.”

Armand explained, “Theresa ....”

“It does not help if you shy away from the problem. It’s okay for you to not visit her for a short period of

time. Can you not visit her in your lifetime? She’s old. If anything happens to her, you will regret it.”

Armand wanted to say something to Theresa but he realized that he could not say anything. What

should he say? Sorry? Words did not help to relieve Theresa’s stress.

He finally said, “Thank you.”

‘Thank you for her understanding, kindness, magnanimity and big heart.’

Theresa leant her head against the car window. She was looking elsewhere in a daze. It seemed that

she did not hear his words. She did not say anything but just leant against the window quietly.

Armand drove her to the residential area that they stayed temporarily. Theresa had an absent mind.

She did not notice that the car was now stopped at their place. She did not open the car door and got

down. Armand reached out his hand to stroke the hair beside her ear and asked gently, “What are you

thinking?”

“Yes?” Theresa came back from her absent-minded state and found out that the car had stopped. She

simply gave a reason, “I was tired just now and did not notice it.”

She unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Armand lowered the car window and said to her, “I’ll be back soon.”

Theresa smiled, “I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Armand asked her to go inside. After seeing that she had gone back to their house, he left.

On the way, he called the phone number of his house.

Soon, the call was picked up. It was Dora.

“Is it Armand?”

Armand said yes.

Hearing that the not-so-familiar maid called him Armand, he was disgusted. He was not close to her.

Their relationship was just a boss and a maid.

“... Grandma, grandma is on the brim of death. Faster come back to visit her.” Dora stumbled.

Armand knew that it was a lie. She just wanted him to go back home.

At first, he wanted to visit her after going out for so many days. He did not expect that she was so

anxious.

Armand said, “Ask grandma to pick up the call.”

“Okay ... Cannot, grandma is not able to pick up.” Dora went back on her word after she agreed. It was

obvious that someone was instigating her, that was why she behaved strangely.

Armand stopped his car by the roadside, “Ask grandma to pick up the call. Tell her that I won’t go back

if she doesn’t pick up the call.”

It seemed that the microphone of the phone was covered. Armand could only hear a brief noise and

then there was no sound.

He was in no hurry, so he waited quietly.

After a while, the call was picked up by Elizabeth. She questioned him, “You don’t want your grandma Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

after getting married, right?”

Armand leant back in his chair. He looked outside of the window, “You sound energetic.”

Elizabeth stammered, “You want me to die?”

“No, I hope that you can live a long life. I’ll die first.” Armand had no choice but to hide himself from her.

Luckily, her legs had some problems, so she could not stir up huge trouble.

Knowing that Armand was hiding himself from her, Elizabeth lowered her voice, “Do you really want to

abandon me?”

Armand was annoyed and said, “You raised me, how can I abandon you?”

“Then, you ...”

“Grandma, I’ll go back to visit you tomorrow, I’m busy today, I’ll hang up now.”

He hung up immediately and switched off his phone to prevent her from calling him again. He did not

wish to face her.

He sat inside his car for a while and then turned around his car to go back home.

Inside the house, Theresa sat on the hanging chair in the balcony. She looked at the fish in the fish

tank boringly.

She curled her legs and took out her phone to send Oscar a text message, ‘What are you doing?’

Soon, Oscar replied, ‘Yo, why are you sending me a message?’

‘Why can’t I?’ Theresa replied.

‘Can, can, Uncle is always around.’

Theresa lowered her eyes and paused for a moment, ‘Uncle, I’m not happy.’
