The woman suddenly became quite serious with Elizabeth, “A man who has cheated on his wife can never be forgiven.”
Armand got the sorted documents from his office and walked to the woman, “Everything’s ready. Let’s go.”
“Where are you going?” Elizabeth suddenly became quite frightened, afraid that Armand would dump her.
The woman stood up. Armand tried to calm his grandmother down, “We have some business to deal with. I’ll be right back. Please wait here for me.” He winked at the receptionist, “Please keep an eye on her for me. Don’t let her go out. I’ll be back soon.”
“No! You can’t go.” Elizabeth pulled Armand’s arm.
“Mrs. Bernie, don’t you want me to be reconciled with Armand?” the woman deliberately asked. She wanted Elizabeth to stop pestering Armand.
Elizabeth was taken aback and answered, “Of course, I want you to reconcile.”
“All right. If so, please stay here and wait for us. We’ll go out for business. OK?”
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, “Okay. You must come back as soon as possible.”
Armand patted her and answered, “Sure. We’ll be back soon.”
He stood up and looked at his client, “Let’s go.”
They walked out of the law firm together. The woman said, “Mr. Bernie, I always thought you were a good man. It seems I’ve made a mistake.”
Armand looked at her, “What do you mean?”
The woman smiled, “You should know it yourself.”
Armand pulled open the door of the car without explaining anything to her. He wasn’t close to this client. They were just working together now.
They went back to the firm pretty soon.
“Your husband should receive the court summon pretty soon. To prevent that he would do something extreme to hurt you, you’d better not stay with him,” Armand said to the client.
“I’ve already packed up my belongings before coming out today. Now, I’m staying in a hotel for the time being. After the divorce and I’ve got the ownership of the apartment, I’ll move back.” The woman seemed to be quite rational.
Armand nodded, “You must be careful.”
“Thank you, Mr. Bernie.” The car was parked in front of the law firm. The woman pushed the door open and got off.
Earlier, Theresa arrived at the law firm, and she found that Elizabeth was there. Hence, she didn’t enter, just waiting for Armand at the door.
She saw his car coming in. Then she stood on the steps.
A woman got off of his car, but Theresa didn’t have any emotional change after seeing that. She looked pretty calm.
Armand, however, wasn’t so calm as her. Seeing her standing there, he subconsciously explained, “She’s my client. We’ve just been to the court.”
Theresa said, “You don’t need to explain anything to me. It’s your freedom to do anything.”
Noticing her indifferent and cold tone, Armand couldn’t help but feel quite frustrated.
The woman cast a glance at Theresa and looked at Armand. She said, “I’m taking off now. By the way, I don’t hope you’ll make any mistake just because of your personal life.”
“Please don’t worry...” said Armand.
When the woman was about to turn away, Elizabeth saw her. She yelled, “Don’t go!”
Elizabeth operated her wheelchair and was about to go after the woman. Armand stopped her, “Grandma, let’s go back.”
“We can’t go back. She’s carrying your baby! You’ve made her suffered once. Do you want to do something wrong to her again?” Elizabeth pushed away Armand’s hand and went after that woman, “Theresa! Theresa, please forgive Armand.”
