Chapter 304: Chapter 304



The maid had already woken up, but seeing that there was a discussion going on, as a maid, she didn’t dare to speak.

Hearing the doorbell, she went over to open the door. In her mouth she muttered, “Early in the morning, who can it be?”. When she opened the door, Phoebe was standing outside.

The maid didn’t know Phoebe and asked, “Who are you looking for?”.

“I’m looking for Armand.” Phoebe smiled.

The maid turned to look at Armand, “A lady is looking for you.”

Mistress Leslie was quick to react, let go of Theresa’s hand and walked over. When she saw that it was Phoebe, her face immediately changed. She said fiercely, “What are you doing here?”

At that moment, Phoebe saw Armand and Theresa standing by the door, as well as the suitcase that was hidden behind Armand. She thought to herself, Was Theresa leaving?

She smiled, as if she hadn’t seen Mistress Leslie’s ugly expression, “Grandma, I’ve come to see Armand.”

“Who’s your grandmother?” Mrs. Leslie was not the most polite to her. In the past, before Armand became rich, he had dated her, and she had not had such a nice house.

When Armand brought her back, she was even a little dismissive.

She later left him, making him a wreck. Because of this, Madame Leslie did not have a good impression of her, she always had the feeling that she was a gold digger. He didn’t even know why she had left in the past.

The purpose of her coming was to add salt to the wound. Only if Theresa left, then she could come in. She intentionally spoke louder, “I’ve come to give something back to Armand. Last night, he left his watch at my house.”

Speaking of which, she pulled out the watch.

Madame Leslie glanced at it. Indeed, it belonged to Armand.

“You, what are you talking about, Armand left it at your house?” Madame Leslie looked stunned. She couldn’t believe it, “He was with you last night?”

“Yes…” Phoebe looked at Theresa, “Don’t get me wrong, even though we were together, nothing happened.”

Theresa turned her body, not wanting to look at her, and said quietly, “I didn’t misunderstand, I don’t need your explanation Miss Lewis.”

Armand came closer, and said deeply, “Who said you could come, didn’t you say you would never appear in front of me…”

“I came to return your watch.” Phoebe quickly cut him off.

When they argued yesterday, she had intentionally taken it off his wrist. He was angry then, so he hadn’t realized his watch had been taken from him.

Armand took it from her and said, “Come back.”

Phoebe looked at him, “I really don’t have to explain myself to him on your behalf?”

“No need.” Armand snorted in anger. If not for her, why would Theresa have misunderstood him? Now that she had come, it would only add to Theresa’s misunderstanding.

Her explanation would only make things worse.

Phoebe glanced at Theresa, and let out a cold laugh in her heart, thinking, ‘I’ll see how you go this time.

“If you need me to explain something, just tell me…”

“Please go quickly and don’t come here anymore!” Madame Leslie was angry, she hated this woman to the core. If it wasn’t for her, Armand wouldn’t have a misunderstanding with Theresa.

Wait, Armand was with her last night?

Her heart was trembling. No wonder Theresa was so angry. If this happened to her, I’m sure she’d be angry too.

Mistress Leslie grabbed the watch from Armand’s hand, and threw it out, “Throw this away, why do you still want it!”

Mistress Leslie turned her gaze to Phoebe, “And you! It was you who left Armand in the past, why are you here harassing him now, have you not a shred of shame?”

“Grandma, I…”

“I’m not your grandmother, please leave.” Grandma was so angry she was shaking.

Phoebe glanced at Armand, then back at Theresa. She secretly raised her lips, but on the surface, pretended to feel terrible, “Then I’ll go first. I hope you’re all well, don’t argue over me.” Finishing his words, he turned to leave.

Theresa pulled out her suitcase and walked over, “Grandma, please take care of yourself.”

“Theresa.” Mrs. Leslie tugged at her, not knowing what else to say to make her stay.

She looked at Armand, disappointed in him.

“Theresa, there really is nothing between her and me, please believe me…”

Armand tugged at her, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I didn’t take your feelings into account, please don’t leave, okay?”

Theresa turned to look at him, “It’s not your fault, the fault is mine, I shouldn’t have agreed to try it with you. You already had someone else in your heart, you should have told me. I’m the one who was too stupid, agreeing too easily to you. This is a detour I have to take, a hardship I have to endure, I can’t help it.”

“Theresa.” Mistress Leslie was very anxious. Once she was gone, would she come back?

She could not let Theresa go.

Mistress Leslie’s body swayed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

“Grandma.” Luckily Armand was near her, quickly scooping her up in his arms.

“What’s happening.” Theresa was startled too, why did she suddenly faint?

Without a word, Armand pinched her philtrum. Mistress Leslie had purposely pretended to faint, so Theresa would stay, but who would have thought Armand would be so heavy-handed, and she frowned in pain.

Pretending to be very weak, she opened her eyes, “Armand, won’t I…won’t I make it?”

Seeing Mistress Leslie wake up, Armand was so anxious that he spoke nonsense, “No, no, you’ll live to be a hundred.”

“You almost killed me with rage, how am I going to live to be a hundred?”

Mrs. Leslie tugged on Theresa’s hands, “Theresa, if you go, I don’t think I can live any longer.”

“Grandma, what are you talking about…”

Mistress Leslie suddenly gripped Armand’s thighs, why was this person so slow?

Armand’s words stuck in her throat. Looking at Mistress Leslie’s pink complexion, she didn’t look like she was sick at all. could she be acting?

For Theresa to stay?

Theresa looked at Armand, “We’d better get her to the hospital. Grandma is old now, with this sudden fainting spell, we’d better get her checked out.”

“I don’t want to go for a checkup.” Mrs. Leslie refused, and grabbed Theresa’s hand, “I just want you to keep me company.”

Theresa pursed her lips, not agreeing, “Armand can keep you company.” She pushed Mistress Leslie’s hand away.

“Theresa.” Armand grabbed her wrist, “Are you really that heartless?”

“If we don’t stop now, you’ll come back to haunt me in the future. Armand, you should know better than me, I’m not like you, I don’t have a callous heart.” Theresa pulled her suitcase and headed for the door.

Mistress Leslie angrily beat Armand, making him think of ways to get Theresa to stay.

Theresa was very firm in her decision to leave. Words alone were not enough to convince her.

Suddenly, Armand hugged Mrs. Leslie’s head, “Grandma, why did you faint again, wake up quickly.”

Mrs. Leslie could not react in time, she was speechless for a moment. Armand’s head came down and gave her an indication, asking her to continue acting.

Hearing that Grandma had fainted once again, Theresa stopped dead in her tracks. But when she turned around, she realized something was wrong. If there really was something wrong with Mrs. Leslie, there was no way Armand was just standing there hugging her, and not sending her to the hospital.

“Armand, do you like to use childish tricks?” Her tone was indifferent.

“Why did Grandma faint?” Armand said stiffly.

In his heart he thought, had she found out?

“If she had fainted, shouldn’t you take her to the hospital?”
