Chapter 333: Chapter 333



.

Phoebe kept her head down. Then, she used the corner of her eye to observe Armand’s facial expression.

Although there wasn’t much change in his facial expression, Phoebe knew that he hadn’t purposely turned away from her at that moment. The reason he disliked her the previous time was that she wanted a quick hit to get him back, but that made him pull away from her more.

She had forgotten one thing which was that she had left him for too long. The feeling of love between them had faded or might even disappear.

She had to work from the first step which was to get his heart back.

She had to let him remember the happiness they had when they were together in the past. They had many, many memories and all of them could not be replaced by Phoebe.

She smiled slightly, “Did you ever blame me?”.

Before Armand could answer her, she spoke again, “Since it’s my fault, it’s okay to blame me.”

At that point, Armand couldn’t say anything else either.

Armand walked to his car. He took out the car key and pressed the unlock key. Then, he opened the car door and said, “Get in, I’ll take you back.”

Phoebe replied with a smile, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Don’t bother, I’ll call a cab.”

When she finished speaking, she turned to leave. Armand tugged at her, “Your leg is hurt. You’d better let me carry you.”

Phoebe kept turning him down, “I know you mean well, but you don’t have to. After all, you are married. I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to get too close. I can’t repeat the mistake I’ve made before.”

When Phoebe finished saying that, she limped alone to the edge of the road.

Armand stood in the same position and watched her back.

“If you want to go, go. Why are you hesitating here?” a mocking voice was heard from behind her back. Armand turned around and saw Dolores standing right behind him.

He was stunned for a while – did she just see him?

He explained instinctively, “It was a coincidence that we met here, she was being stalked by a pervert. I was supposed to help her, wasn’t I?”

Dolores only continued with a grimace, “Heroic rescue, it’s what every man would do. You’re right, it was all my fault. I must be crazy to accept what was between you and Theresa. From what I see now, I see that Theresa was right in her decision. You’re just a person who can’t get things straight.”

Armand approached her, “It really is a misunderstanding…”

“What misunderstanding?” Dolores looked at him mockingly, “You’re so understanding and you’re willing to take the other woman back home, is it a misunderstanding?”

“Her leg is injured…”

“She has no family, no friends, only you can take her back?” Dolores interrupted him sternly.

At that moment, she finally understood why Theresa was giving up on the idea of having a child.

Did she really understand her heart or not?

Dolores kept quiet and did her best to calm down.

She took a deep breath, “Armand, if you still love your ex-girlfriend, promise me you won’t go back to Theresa.”

Armand got a little nervous inexplicably. Just as he wanted to pull Dolores, he stopped his hand after his gaze met Matthew’s sharp stare, “I do love Theresa.”

Dolores wanted to smile, but found it very difficult to do so as she looked at Armand, who was off his game.

“Do you love Theresa?”

“Yes, I love her,” Armand replied quickly.

“Have you ever seriously thought about it, why would your ex leave you in the past if he loves you? Besides, he left you for a long time. Aren’t you curious where he went during that time? What kind of people did he meet? Did he fall in love with others during that time?” Dolores asked sternly.

He himself was a lawyer and lawyers always had a logical mind compared to normal people.

However, Armand’s IQ didn’t even reach the level of a normal person at that time!

Armand’s behavior had really disappointed him!

It was real that Armand had never really thought it through. However, Phoebe had told him the reason why she had left him.

“He said he was infertile and that’s why he left me since he didn’t want to involve me.”

Dolores thought it was such a ridiculous explanation. If she loves Armand, would she leave him without a word, was it love?

If the answer was ‘yes’, then her love was too selfish.

In her opinion, it was not a helpful act for him. If she really loved him, she would not bear to let him go. Otherwise, she would go with a broken heart, even if she really had to leave him. Even if it happened like what Armand said, the reason she left him was because of her infertility and she didn’t want to implicate him.

Besides, he had been gone for a long time and why had he come back now?

Wasn’t she afraid to implicate him for now?

It seemed such a lame excuse to her, it was too illogical and far-fetched.

“At this point, I surely agree with all of Theresa’s decisions, you really disappoint me too much!”

After saying that, Dolores turned around and got into the car.

She refused to say anything more to Armand.

The level of her resentment toward Armand’s procrastination was equal to the level of her concerns toward Theresa’s situation at that moment.

Matthew put his hands in his pockets. He reached over and reminded Armand earnestly, “She doesn’t usually treat people like that, think for yourself.”

He slapped Armand’s shoulder hard. He had sensed a problem when Dolores took the initiative to ask Armand to come out and speak suddenly.

It must have been something wrong with Theresa for Dolores to decide to take the initiative to talk to Armand. Her purpose in doing so was to try to get Armand and Theresa back together. However, she saw the scene of him and his ex-girlfriend just now. She felt very disappointed, so she became angry and began to berate him mercilessly.

Armand felt bitter in his heart, “Finally, Theresa is willing to meet with me now, but she treats me with a lukewarm attitude and turns her back on me.”

The temperature of the most fervent heart would also be consumed that way.

Outsiders could not intervene in the matter of each other’s relationship. If it were not for Armand’s sake, he would not remind him of anything.

Armand had to rely on himself to understand.

Matthew got into the car. He didn’t start the car, but went to play with his long hair, “Let’s get something to eat.”

Dolores felt her stomach swell with air as she was too angry with Armand.

In her opinion, it was a very simple matter. If he loved Theresa, he should break up with his ex-girlfriend in order to give Theresa a sense of security.

If he still loved his ex-girlfriend, he should not go on with Theresa.

However, what was he doing?

He was still saying he loved Theresa while maintaining contact with his ex-girlfriend. He turned his head and looked at Matthew sideways, “Theresa is pregnant.” Matthew really guessed it, otherwise, she wouldn’t have acted like this now.

He smiled warmly, “So what are you going to do, do you want me to ask someone to beat Armand up?”

Dolores shook her head. It was obviously not a rational action. They might vent their anger in short order by beating him up, but it was useless.

“I want to investigate his ex-girlfriend. Where has she been all these years and why has she suddenly come back?” If it was real that she left Armand because of her infertility, then it meant that his ex-girlfriend really loved Armand. So, she would let Theresa naturally end up with Armand.

After that, it was up to Armand if he was going to get back together with his ex-girlfriend.

What she could do was put her best foot forward to keep Theresa from getting hurt any more.

Matthew sighed. He felt she was meddling too much. But at the same time, it also seemed to him that she was very loyal to her friend Theresa.

Dolores seemed to discover what he was thinking. She curved her lips bitterly, “Theresa has been with me and the reason she came back here is also because of me. If she hadn’t come back, I wouldn’t have met Armand and all these things wouldn’t have happened.”

He felt he had to be responsible for it.

The corners of Matthew’s eyes twitched-what was he to do if she hadn’t come back?

He placed his hands around her waist and they got out of the car. “Let’s get something to eat first.”

Dolores got out of the car with a blank mind. Matthew had made a reservation, so the waiter led them to the reserved table.

After they were seated, Matthew pulled out his phone and texted Boyce. He was asking Boyce to check on Phoebe. Abbott would be very busy lately so he didn’t have time for that.

Therefore, he could only give this assignment to Boyce. Since he had the manpower and was also professional, his efficiency would be high and he would solve it quickly.

The waiters served them the dishes.

Matthew liked light food, so the dishes he ordered were also light. Most of the dishes in that restaurant were health-based. Therefore, the food was not greasy and did not include the dishes with too much meat ingredients.

Matthew had a soup for her. The main ingredient of the soup was black-boned chicken. In addition, ginseng, red dates and wolfberries were added as a side dish. It was slowly stewed over low heat for two hours to get such a soup. Thus, it contained very little oil and the soup was fresh and tonic.

He remembered that Dolores had said it was weak. She asked the waiter what soup was good for women and the waiter recommended the black bone chicken soup when he was taking orders.

Dolores spooned a spoonful of soup into her mouth, the taste of ginseng was obvious to taste and there were almost no extra ingredients added in it. The soup was full of the flavor of the ingredients themselves.

The texture of the soup was very light and he liked it.

Matthew didn’t move his chopsticks and leaned back in his chair reluctantly. Then, his gaze rested on his belly.
