Phoebe was keeping her head down. Then, she used the corner of her eyes to observe Armand’s facial expression.
Although there weren’t too many changes in his facial expression, Phoebe knew that he did not stay away from her purposely at the time. The reason that he disliked her for the previous time was that she wanted to have a quick success to get him back but it caused him to stay further away from her.
She had forgotten one thing which was that she had left him for too long. The feeling of love between them had faded or it might even disappear.
She must get him from the first step which was to grab his heart back.
She had to let him recall the happy moment when they were together in the past. They had lots and lots of memories and all those were definitely could not be replaced by Phoebe.
She smiled lightly, “Have you ever blamed me?”
Before Armand answered her, she spoke again, “Since it’s my fault, it is fine that you blame me.”
At the moment, Armand also couldn’t say any other thing.
Armand went to his car. He took out his car key to pressed the unlock key. Then, he opened the car door and said, “Hop in, I will send you back.”
Phoebe replied with a smile, “You haven’t had your meal yet, right? Don't bother, I’ll just get a cab”
After she finished speaking, she turned around to leave. Armand pulled her, “Your leg is injured. You’d better let me give you a ride.”
Phoebe still rejected him, “I know you mean well but no need. After all, you are married. I think it’s not a good idea for us to get too close. I can’t repeat the mistake that I have made before.”
After Phoebe finished saying that, she limped to the roadside by herself.
Armand was standing in the same position and staring at her back.
“If you want to go, just go ahead. Why are you hesitating here?” A sneering voice sounded from his back. Armand turned around and saw Dolores who was standing right behind him.
He was stunned for a while. Did she just see it?
He explained to her instinctively, “It was a coincidence that we met here, she was being harassed by a pervert. I must help her, right?”
Dolores just continued to sneer, “Heroic rescue, it’s the thing that every man will do. You are right, it’s all my fault. I must be crazy to make a match between you and Theresa. For now, Theresa is right about her decision. You are just a person who can’t get things clear.”
Armand walked towards her, “It’s really a misunderstanding…”
“What misunderstanding?” Dolores looked at him mockingly, “You are so sympathetic and eager to send the other woman back home, is this a misunderstanding?”
“Her leg is injured…”
“Does she have no family, no friends? Only you can send her back?” Dolores interrupted him sternly.
At that moment, she finally understood why Theresa would give up the idea of getting a child.
Did he really understand his heart or not?
Dolores stayed quiet and tried her best to calm down.
She took a deep breath, “Armand, if you still love your ex-girlfriend, promise me that you won’t go back to Theresa.”
Armand was a little flustered inexplicably. Just as he wanted to pull Dolores, he got his hand back after his gaze intersected with Matthew’s sharp gaze, “I do love Theresa.”
Dolores wanted to smile but it was such a tough task for her to do when facing Armand who was out of the loop.
“You love Theresa?”
“Yes, I love her,” Armand answered quickly.
“Have you ever thought about it seriously? Why would she leave you in the past if she loves you? Furthermore, she left you for so long after it. Aren’t you curious about where did she go during that time? What kind of people did she meet? Did she fall in love with others during the time?” Dolores asked sharply.
He himself was a lawyer and lawyers were always with a logical mind compared to normal people.
However, Armand’s IQ didn’t even reach the level of a normal person at the time!
Armand’s behavior had really disappointed her!
It was real that Armand had never thought carefully about it. However, Phoebe had told him the reason why she left him.
“She said that she was infertile so she left me as she didn’t want to implicate me.”
Dolores felt that it was such a ridiculous explanation. If she does love Armand, would she just leave him without saying a word, was it, love?
If the answer was a 'yes', then her love was too selfish.
In her opinion, it was not an act of helping him. If she really loved him, she would not bear to let go. Otherwise, she must be leaving with her heart broken even if she really had to leave him. Even if it happened like what Armand said, the reason that she left him was due to her infertility and she did not want to implicate him.
Besides, she had left for so long and why did she come back now?
