"You want me to stay with you for one night?" Armand Bernie's squint his eyes and his tone were as icy as the northwest wind in the winter.
What did she take him as?
Furthermore, now Phoebe Lewis was so insane that he couldn’t feel her innocence and compassion before this.
"I'm not going to betray my wife." He stood firm.
"I'm not asking you to sleep with me but just accompany me," Phoebe paused for a while, she lowered her voice and her fists clasped tightly.
"Neither can I." Armand continued to reject.
"Are you truly so compassionless?" "If you leave today, I assure you will see me again as a corpse. I said it, I mean it. You may go if you don’t believe that," Phoebe remarked with a deranged smile.
Phoebe sat on the sofa after rising from the ground.
"Are you forcing me?" Armand’s eyes dimmed.
Phoebe realized that if she continued to pretend to be generous, she would never be able to get him. Therefore, she would do everything she could to make him stay and to confuse Theresa Gordon.
She had a chance only if they divorced!
"You force me. Indeed, I’m the one who left first, but I never violated the love between us. It was you, you did not even think about those good old days we had. You are so harsh to me. How can you blame me for being immoral?" She lifted her eyes and stared at Armand.
Armand remained in the same spot for a long time before looking at Phoebe, "Are you serious, as long as I stay with you today, you will not disrupt my life in the future?"
"Yes, everything will end after this, I follow what you want," Phoebe agreed.
Armand paused and nodded as he agreed. When Phoebe left that time, they had not formally met. Now that he had married Theresa, Phoebe disclosed the truth about the year, not because of the betrayal of their relationship, but just that they deserved to have a relationship cutoff.
In some ways, he was the one who let the partnership down.
It should be reasonable and ok if she just wanted him to accompany her.
"I'm going to make a phone call." Armand decided to contact Theresa and informed her that she should not wait and that he would explain everything to her when he returned.
The phone call was made, but it was not picked up.
Armand’s assistant was not off duty since Theresa was there, thus he was staying inside while the other lawyers had already left.
"Do you want to keep waiting for Armand?" The assistant inquired.
Because Armand and Theresa's marriage did not take place in B city, few people are aware of it, and Armand had not had time to announce it.
Originally, he planned to gather everyone in the business together to have dinner together, and then introduce Theresa as his wife to everyone.
Only, as the end of the year was around the corner, he had something to handle and was not free to do so.
Theresa pulled out her phone to see what time it was. However, when she took out her phone, she saw that it had automatically shut off when the battery ran out.
"What time is it?" She inquired of the assistant.
"It’s almost twelve," the assistant said as he looked at the time.
After all, he had broken his word, so she felt a bit upset and disappointed.
She pretended that she was fine but she felt sad and heartbroken deep inside.
"Can you assist me with a divorce agreement?" Her voice was a bit shaky.
"OK, give me a second," the lawyer's assistant was so used to handling such a thing.
The assistant thought that Theresa was here to get advice from Armand and it was obvious that she filed for divorce.
"Why would you divorce? Is your spouse cheating?" inquired the assistant.
Nowadays, most of the couple divorced for this reason, particularly for female parties to come to their chamber and most of them were here to file for divorce because their husbands cheated on them.
"Yes. I think so," Theresa said as she faked a smile.
