"You want me to stay with you for one night?" Armand Bernie's squint his eyes and his tone were as icy
as the northwest wind in the winter.
What did she take him as?
Furthermore, now Phoebe Lewis was so insane that he couldn’t feel her innocence and compassion
before this.
"I'm not going to betray my wife." He stood firm.
"I'm not asking you to sleep with me but just accompany me," Phoebe paused for a while, she lowered
her voice and her fists clasped tightly.
"Neither can I." Armand continued to reject.
"Are you truly so compassionless?" "If you leave today, I assure you will see me again as a corpse. I
said it, I mean it. You may go if you don’t believe that," Phoebe remarked with a deranged smile.
Phoebe sat on the sofa after rising from the ground.
"Are you forcing me?" Armand’s eyes dimmed.
Phoebe realized that if she continued to pretend to be generous, she would never be able to get him.
Therefore, she would do everything she could to make him stay and to confuse Theresa Gordon.
She had a chance only if they divorced!
"You force me. Indeed, I’m the one who left first, but I never violated the love between us. It was you,
you did not even think about those good old days we had. You are so harsh to me. How can you blame
me for being immoral?" She lifted her eyes and stared at Armand.
Armand remained in the same spot for a long time before looking at Phoebe, "Are you serious, as long
as I stay with you today, you will not disrupt my life in the future?"
"Yes, everything will end after this, I follow what you want," Phoebe agreed.
Armand paused and nodded as he agreed. When Phoebe left that time, they had not formally met. Now
that he had married Theresa, Phoebe disclosed the truth about the year, not because of the betrayal of
their relationship, but just that they deserved to have a relationship cutoff.
In some ways, he was the one who let the partnership down.
It should be reasonable and ok if she just wanted him to accompany her.
"I'm going to make a phone call." Armand decided to contact Theresa and informed her that she should
not wait and that he would explain everything to her when he returned.
The phone call was made, but it was not picked up.
Armand’s assistant was not off duty since Theresa was there, thus he was staying inside while the
other lawyers had already left.
"Do you want to keep waiting for Armand?" The assistant inquired.
Because Armand and Theresa's marriage did not take place in B city, few people are aware of it, and
Armand had not had time to announce it.
Originally, he planned to gather everyone in the business together to have dinner together, and then
introduce Theresa as his wife to everyone.
Only, as the end of the year was around the corner, he had something to handle and was not free to do
so.
Theresa pulled out her phone to see what time it was. However, when she took out her phone, she saw
that it had automatically shut off when the battery ran out.
"What time is it?" She inquired of the assistant.
"It’s almost twelve," the assistant said as he looked at the time.
After all, he had broken his word, so she felt a bit upset and disappointed.
She pretended that she was fine but she felt sad and heartbroken deep inside.
"Can you assist me with a divorce agreement?" Her voice was a bit shaky.
"OK, give me a second," the lawyer's assistant was so used to handling such a thing.
The assistant thought that Theresa was here to get advice from Armand and it was obvious that she
filed for divorce.
"Why would you divorce? Is your spouse cheating?" inquired the assistant.
Nowadays, most of the couple divorced for this reason, particularly for female parties to come to their
chamber and most of them were here to file for divorce because their husbands cheated on them.
"Yes. I think so," Theresa said as she faked a smile.
The assistant was a man, he felt that this was so injustice after he heard this, "Presently men are not
something to be thankful for."
He found that this lady looked so youthful and delightful and he wondered why her husband still wanted
to cheat on her.
Was it true that the mistress was always more attractive than their wife?
The assistant acted quickly, he was holding the PC to draft the content, while asking Theresa’s
circumstance, "Do you have kids? Do you guys have any issue with the distribution of property? What
would you like to get from this as your husband was the one who cheats and he was the wrong party,
we can fight for you to maximize your well-being."
Theresa felt harsh, her mouth was bitter and she shook her head, "We don’t have any kids, neither do
we have any issues about the distribution of property. To be honest, we don’t even have a marriage
certificate, we only have our family members witness our wedding, in the event that I need to end our
relationship, what to do then?"
The assistant was dumbfounded as they didn’t even have a marriage certificate which meant their
marriage was not protected by law.
There were cases in numerous provincial regions in which individuals who got married before they
reached the eligible age. Since they were not mature enough to get a marriage certificate so they just
simply had a wedding that was witnessed by their family members.
Indeed, that actually didn’t mean that they were husband and wife by any means, and their marriage
was not protected by law.
"For this situation, you can just both arrange and have a talk over this. Obviously, if the other party
doesn’t agree, or requested something unreasonable from you, you could file a legal proceeding
against him, that is, settle all this through judicial progress. However, this is not considered divorce but
just a dispute. Legitimately you are not husband and wife, so this can’t be handled like a divorce case."
Theresa likely comprehended, in other words, if she wanted to cut off the relationship with Armand,
both of them would need to discuss with him.
"Wait, I'll ask our boss." The assistant wasn't truly adept at dealing with such things. He needed advice
from Armand. He called Armand.
Right now, Armand was sitting on the couch, and Phoebe didn't bother him, she was sleeping beside
him instead.
When he heard the telephone ring, he thought it was Theresa and promptly took out his telephone, and
when he saw that it was the assistant, his face looked serious. He pressed the button and answered
the call, "What’s up?"
"Here comes a customer who needs to get some information about some lawful issue, I don’t know
much about ..."
"Look for Mr. Wong, he's good at handling lawful issue about marriage." Now Armand didn't want to
manage such things.
After saying that, he hung up the telephone.
The assistant looked at the phone for quite a while. Armand was not like this usually, he was so careful
and serious about work, what was wrong with him?
Theresa asked, "Are you calling Armand?"
She just speculated, the voice she heard was just like Armand’s.
The assistant nodded and mumbled, "It's Armand, I don't have the foggiest idea what he's occupied
with, usually, he'll be patient and explain to me, unlike this time, it's extremely surprising."
Theresa grinned, he was now dating his mistress, how would he focus on work?
He probably had totally forgotten that she was actually waiting for him.
What could she expect from him?
She stood up, the assistant put down the PC and followed, "Mr. Wong is excellent at handling this type
of cases, would you like me to contact Mr. Wong for you?"
Theresa said, "I will come back again if I need your help."
She turned back and left the chamber, she remained on the road for some time. It was still the same
blue sky but people changed
Perhaps it was all false from the beginning.
Presently the time had come to end it.
She took a taxi to get back.
Mrs.Leslie was not there, the house was in dead silence, she got back to the room. She found her
luggage from the cabinet, she put all her attire and daily supplies in it. She didn’t have many things
initially, simply because the warm clothes for winter occupied more space, in any case, the luggage
was enough for all her things.
She sat on the edge of the bed. The area below her feet was the place where Armand slept last
evening.
Out of no reason, she grinned.
From the start, she thought that Armand cared about her feeling so he didn’t sleep with her.
She thought clearly about it again, wasn’t it because the lady he loved had returned and he wouldn’t
want to stay close with her?
What exactly was she to him?
Was she just a sex object?
