Boyce curved up the corners of his mouth, he was smiling.
“Oh.” Armand knew that there was really a good thing happening on him based on his face expression, “No wonder you want to treat us a meal, is it that you have a good thing to show us off?”
Boyce glanced at him, “I don’t like to show off as much as you do.”
“What can I show off about?” Armand laughed. Although he had faced so many difficulties, it was nothing more precious than staying with Theresa safely at this moment.
In front of them, Jasmine and Theresa had entered the house. Dolores and Matthew were the first to arrive. Although they had moved away from the bungalow, they would still ask someone to clean up the place, so the bungalow was very clean and not dusty even though there was no one staying here.
Seeing that they had come, Dolores poured a few cups of water and placed them on the table.
“Boyce, I heard that you’re promoted.” Dolores put the jug down, she looked up and asked him.
Boyce sat on the sofa, “You really have your fingers on the pulse, you’ve known it even if I haven’t told you.”
Dolores chuckled, she had heard it from Matthew too. She didn’t know how Matthew knew it, but it was normal that he had his fingers on the pulse since he had a lot of connections.
“Let me take the opportunity to say a few words too.” Armand put his arm around Theresa and said, “Theresa and I have planned about it, we have come back this time to pick up grandma.”
“Where do you want to bring her to?” Boyce had just come back from his work not long before, he didn’t know about the matter that Armand was going to stay in City C.
Hence, he had asked about this.
Armand then explained again about the matter that he was going to City C, “Grandma’s illness is serious, but this is a good thing for me since I can finally stay with Theresa.”
He had come a long way to get here.
Armand’s grandma had already suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, her memories became worse when she fell and injured her brain again. Most of her memories stopped in the past, and it seemed like she had forgotten the recent ones. Forgetting about those unhappy memories was a good thing for Armand.
“You’re going to live there, how about here…”
“I’ve settled all the things here.” Armand knew what Boyce was going to ask.
Boyce patted him. The doorbell rang at this time, it was the delivery.
Dolores stood up and she went to open the door. There were three people coming with a few food boxes in their hands, Dolores stood sideways to let them come in, “Put them on the table.”
Soon, the deliverymen had put the food boxes on the table.
After they left, Dolores closed the door, then she walked beside the table and opened the food boxes. Theresa and Jasmine had also come to help her.
Dolores said, “I can do this in just a moment by myself, why do guys come here too?”
“The men are talking, we can’t get a word in edgeways.” Jasmine smiled, then she asked, “Do we need to put them in the plates?”
Theresa said, “The foods are all well-packed already, putting them in the plates just makes them look nice, and we will need to clean them up later.”
“You’re right.” Jasmine asked Dolores, “Dolores, why do you guys move to the Nelson Mansion and don’t want to stay here anymore?”
Dolores lowered her eyes to hide her emotion, she told her that Jayden was in a bad health condition and they missed the old place, so they had moved back.
When they had done placing the dishes, Theresa shouted toward the men in the living room, “You guys can eat while talking.”
“Boyce is promoted today, we shall celebrate it, I will go and take a bottle of wine here,” Dolores said.
“We have driven here, how do we go home if we drink?” Armand pulled Theresa and sat down.
Dolores stopped moving, she thought that what Armand said was right.
“Isn’t it that we can get a driver to drive for us? It’s rare that we can gather, for sure Boyce will be very busy in the future after being promoted, while Armand and I are also going to live in City C. It’s uncertain of when we will get to gather again, so we shall just drink some, what do you guys think?” Theresa said smilingly.
After that, everyone felt that what Theresa said was right, if they were to have a meal without drinking, then it would be boring, so they had taken two bottles over there.
Dolores wanted to pour them the wine initially, but Boyce had taken the bottle and said, “Let me do it.”
