Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 296

Armand paused and slowly withdrew his movements. He didn't know why he was afraid to confess to Theresa that he had seen Phoebe.

Almost instinctively, he lied, "I met with a client, so I forgot to pick you up."

Theresa waited for his confession, but all she got was a lie from him.

Her heart sank. She was panicking inside. And she didn't know what to do with their relationship.

She stood up and went to her wardrobe to find her clothes, but Armand hugged her from behind, "What's wrong with you? There seems to be something wrong with you."

Theresa wrenched free of his hug, "I'm going to sleep in the guest room."

Armand pulled her back, "What did you say?"

She had just married him and wanted to sleep in a separate bed from him. If Mrs. Leslie found out about this, she would worry about their relationship again.

"I'm tired today." Theresa's voice sounded a little choked up.

She felt she was injured inside.

Armand's heart tightened, and then he reached up to take her face in his hands. Although she didn't want to cry, she couldn't hold back the tears. The oppression and grievance she felt at the moment Armand touched her reached its climax. Then she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

When he saw her crying, Armand panicked. He reached out to wipe her tears, "What's wrong with you? Tell me if you were wronged in the store. Were you given a hard time by a customer?"

Theresa cried harder and harder.

"Don't cry. When I see you cry, I feel panic. If you suffer too much, then you can quit your job. And you can count on me." Armand wiped her tears.

Theresa lowered her eyes, "I don't want you to take care of me. I can take care of myself. I just think of something sad. And that's why I can't help it..."

Armand took her into his arms, "Don't think about it."

"Would you lie to me?" Theresa asked.

Armand stiffened, but he quickly regained his natural expression and said, "I wouldn't."

Theresa sniffled, "I will give myself two chances."

She was also giving Armand two chances. If he lied to her again, then she would divorce him.

She regarded getting a divorce as respect for their marriage.

"Why are you giving yourself two chances?" Armand listened to what she said and felt a little confused.

"It's nothing." She broke away from Armand's hug.

"I want to be alone. I'm going to sleep in the guest room."

Armand pulled her back, "If you let Mrs. Leslie see you sleeping in the guest room like this, she'll be worried about us. And she'll think something is wrong with our relationship. How about this? Since you are not in a good mood today, I won't touch you. Will you stay here?"

Theresa didn't listen to him because she didn't want to look at Armand. And she could think of Phoebe when she saw him.

"How about I sleep on the floor instead of sharing a bed with you? Will you stop walking away from me?" Armand whispered.

"Look, my grandma is so old, so I don't want her to worry about me." Armand's tone sounded humble when he said the latter words.

Theresa turned to look at Armand. He kept saying that he was afraid Mrs. Leslie would be sad. Wouldn't he tell her not to leave him either?

She smiled bitterly, "Okay."

Since she decided to give him another chance, she had to endure the pain she suffered this time.

It was she who was too softhearted. She had agreed to marry him at first, but she was now suffering the misery she had inflicted on herself.

She took her clothes and went to the bathroom.

Armand sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Suddenly, he had a flash of insight, pulled out his phone, and checked his phone records. She hadn't called him, which meant she couldn't have found out he'd met with Phoebe today.

But Theresa obviously looked not in good mood. Was she like this because he had seen Phoebe during the day?

Could she still take it to her heart?

When he saw Theresa like this, Armand felt very nervous. Then he took out his cell phone and called Dolores.

He wanted to ask Dolores if Theresa was like this in the store today.

Dolores did go to the store today. Because she had been out for so long, she always checked on the store when she returned. The store seemed to be a little empty.

Allison had taken a few orders during Dolores' absence. Some people came to the store because of Dolores' reputation. As she wasn't in the store, Allison wasn't able to keep the customers.

Dolores was in the store for a day. On one hand, she was trying to calm her down about Jessica's issues. And on the other hand, she was trying to think of a way to get the store to do well. In this way, Allison, Theresa, and other shop assistants could earn more.
