Since Armand had not come home for a while, Elizabeth sent someone tailing him to discover his residency. She came to visit knowing that Theresa's IVF attempt failed for the second time.
Dolores stood frozen at the entrance, looking stern as she knew Elizabeth's intention.
Armand came from the residency area and greeted Dolores seeing her standing at the entrance.
Dolores turned, so did Elizabeth and Dora.
"Armand!" Elizabeth called, slightly displeased.
Armand's face stiffened realizing they were there. He looked to Dolores, thinking she brought them here.
"I saw them at the main entrance," Dolores explained.
"Building number three, sixth floor, room 603. Please go in first, I'll go up in a while," Armand said.
"Talk nicely." Dolores nodded.
Dolores replied with a nod and walked away. "Grandma…"
"Why won't you let me in?" Elizabeth interrupted sternly, "I'll lodge a police report saying you refuse to take care of me if you won't let me in today."
Armand clenched his fists hearing that. "What do you want?!" Armand almost shouted.
"You throw me aside, won't even let me go into your house, what do you think you are doing?" Elizabeth cried out suddenly knowing there was a security guard nearby and people walking by. "I've given my entire life raising you, now that I'm too old, you left me alone at home without any concern."
People are naturally drawn to gossip. The security looked in their direction while people started gathering around, watching them.
Dolores who was not far away turned to Armand, "Let her in."
Armand didn't move an inch.
Dolores looked at him, "You need to solve this sooner or later, until when do you plan on avoiding this? Do you want Theresa to keep hiding in the future? Stay hidden forever?"
Armand understood that this was not a long-term solution, however, there was no other way now. He didn't want to cause harm to either side.
He looked at Elizabeth, "I'll let you in but you must not throw tantrums on others. Leaving home was my idea, don't blame it on others."
Elizabeth stared at Armand for a while and said, "... Okay."
Armand turned over with his back facing Elizabeth and said, "Let's go."
