Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 800

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.
