“Why are you feeling unhappy? Did Armand bully you?”
Theresa looked at her phone, she said after keeping silent for quite a while, “No.”
Her unhappiness was not caused by Armand; it was caused by the surroundings. After all, Armand’s grandma was still blocking between Armand and her although she was staying away from Armand’s grandma.
The child was the obstacle that they couldn’t overcome.
Oscar sent her a helpless emoji.
Oscar sent her a voice recording after a while, Theresa then clicked on it. She thought that Oscar was going to tell her something, but to her surprise, it was a piece of music.
The music was from the classic scene of Journey to the West, in which the Monk Pig was carrying his wife on his back, quite amusing.
Theresa pulled a wry face in a moment.
A message popped up again on the screen, “The Monk Pig was so happy even if he was carrying the monkey on his back, but you are unhappy all the time even if you have a handsome husband.”
Theresa couldn’t help laughing, “Uncle, your comforting words are different from others.”
“Of course, I am what I am, the one and only me.”
Theresa laughed and replied quickly, “Are you really getting carried away?”
“Haha, isn’t it that uncle is trying to make you happy?”
Theresa replied, “I know.”
“Then please take good care of yourself since you know it, being angry will make you older, so you should laugh more. You will not want to look in the mirror anymore one day when there are wrinkles on your face like me.”
“There is no wrinkle on uncle’s face, there are just the marks left by the time.”
“You’re a good talker.”
“I’m just telling the truth.”
“I haven’t seen you for just a few days, you’re so sweet now.”
“I’ve learnt from uncle.”
“Haha, am I so good in teaching?”
“You look so happy, who are you chatting with?” Armand leaned against the door frame and looked at her.
He had come back for quite a while, and then he saw that Theresa was smiling while looking at her phone, so he was curious and didn’t disturb her. Theresa was so concentrated; she didn’t notice that he was back.
Theresa turned her head, staring at him surprisingly, “Isn’t it that you had gone back home already?”
Armand walked toward her and said, “I’m back because I’m worried that you may be boring.” His eyes fell on Theresa’s phone screen when he was talking.
Theresa kept her phone when she noticed that Armand was looking at it, she then stood up from the hanging chair and said, “Shall we go for a movie?”
Armand kept silent while looking at her.
Theresa frowned, “Why are you looking at me?”
Armand lowered his eyes and said, “Nothing.”
Indeed, he wanted to ask, ‘Are you unhappy when staying with me? If not, why you have never laughed so happily in front of me?’
However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he noticed that Theresa was unhappy because of the pressure from his family.
If he put himself in her shoes, he wouldn’t feel happy as well.
Therefore, he didn’t ask.
He knew that Theresa was having great pressure to stay with him, but he couldn’t do anything for her.
“Theresa, if you feel that you’re too tired, I…” He paused when he wanted to say that he would let her go. It was easy to think in his mind, but he realized that it was not so easy when he wanted to say it out, he looked up, “I’m unwilling to let you go.”
Theresa seemed to be realizing the contradiction in him, she looked into his eyes and said, “I know.”
“I’ll do good and accumulate the merits in the future, I hope that the god will have mercy on us and let us have a child successfully, so that we won’t have to worry about the child again.” Armand took her into his arms.
Theresa leaned in his arms, “Let’s go out.”
