The woman suddenly became quite serious with Elizabeth, “A man who has cheated on his wife can
never be forgiven.”
Armand got the sorted documents from his office and walked to the woman, “Everything’s ready. Let’s
go.”
“Where are you going?” Elizabeth suddenly became quite frightened, afraid that Armand would dump
her.
The woman stood up. Armand tried to calm his grandmother down, “We have some business to deal
with. I’ll be right back. Please wait here for me.” He winked at the receptionist, “Please keep an eye on
her for me. Don’t let her go out. I’ll be back soon.”
“No! You can’t go.” Elizabeth pulled Armand’s arm.
“Mrs. Bernie, don’t you want me to be reconciled with Armand?” the woman deliberately asked. She
wanted Elizabeth to stop pestering Armand.
Elizabeth was taken aback and answered, “Of course, I want you to reconcile.”
“All right. If so, please stay here and wait for us. We’ll go out for business. OK?”
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, “Okay. You must come back as soon as
possible.”
Armand patted her and answered, “Sure. We’ll be back soon.”
He stood up and looked at his client, “Let’s go.”
They walked out of the law firm together. The woman said, “Mr. Bernie, I always thought you were a
good man. It seems I’ve made a mistake.”
Armand looked at her, “What do you mean?”
The woman smiled, “You should know it yourself.”
Armand pulled open the door of the car without explaining anything to her. He wasn’t close to this
client. They were just working together now.
They went back to the firm pretty soon.
“Your husband should receive the court summon pretty soon. To prevent that he would do something
extreme to hurt you, you’d better not stay with him,” Armand said to the client.
“I’ve already packed up my belongings before coming out today. Now, I’m staying in a hotel for the time
being. After the divorce and I’ve got the ownership of the apartment, I’ll move back.” The woman
seemed to be quite rational.
Armand nodded, “You must be careful.”
“Thank you, Mr. Bernie.” The car was parked in front of the law firm. The woman pushed the door open
and got off.
Earlier, Theresa arrived at the law firm, and she found that Elizabeth was there. Hence, she didn’t
enter, just waiting for Armand at the door.
She saw his car coming in. Then she stood on the steps.
A woman got off of his car, but Theresa didn’t have any emotional change after seeing that. She looked
pretty calm.
Armand, however, wasn’t so calm as her. Seeing her standing there, he subconsciously explained,
“She’s my client. We’ve just been to the court.”
Theresa said, “You don’t need to explain anything to me. It’s your freedom to do anything.”
Noticing her indifferent and cold tone, Armand couldn’t help but feel quite frustrated.
The woman cast a glance at Theresa and looked at Armand. She said, “I’m taking off now. By the way,
I don’t hope you’ll make any mistake just because of your personal life.”
“Please don’t worry...” said Armand.
When the woman was about to turn away, Elizabeth saw her. She yelled, “Don’t go!”
Elizabeth operated her wheelchair and was about to go after the woman. Armand stopped her,
“Grandma, let’s go back.”
“We can’t go back. She’s carrying your baby! You’ve made her suffered once. Do you want to do
something wrong to her again?” Elizabeth pushed away Armand’s hand and went after that woman,
“Theresa! Theresa, please forgive Armand.”
The woman turned around and happened to see Theresa’s shocked look.
The latter looked quite surprised that Elizabeth was calling the woman with her name.
When Armand saw Theresa and immediately explained, the client roughly could guess that she was
Theresa who was mentioned by Elizabeth continuously.
Pointing at Theresa, the woman said, “She’s Theresa. You should talk to her.”
“I’m not a fool. She can’t be Theresa!” Elizabeth said affirmatively with a confident look as if she denied
that she was stupid.
The client didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
For the sake the Elizabeth was an elder, she looked over at Armand, “Shall I accompany Mrs. Bernie?
Then you can talk with this lady.”
Armand looked over at Theresa and said to his client, “Okay. Thanks a lot.”
“As long as you’ll try your best effort on my case, of course, I’m willing to do you a small favour.” After
finishing talking to Armand, she said to Elizabeth with a smile, “Mrs. Bernie, shall we drink some coffee
in the cafe opposite?”
Elizabeth widened her eyes, “You can’t leave her, Theresa. Otherwise, the bad woman will take the
chance.”
When she mentioned “bad woman”, she cast a glance at Theresa, implying that she was the bad
woman.
Elizabeth pulled the woman’s hand, “Theresa, I know you’ve suffered a lot. You were wronged. You
should give Armand a chance to correct his mistake.”
As she spoke, Elizabeth’s eyes turned reddened, “I know it was all our fault. You were kidnapped by
Phoebe Lewis, but Armand and I were both safe and sound. You... you’ve lost your baby and you were
injured so badly... Oops... Why are you still pregnant?”
Elizabeth suddenly looked up at the woman. Blankness fulfilled her reddened eyes. She felt something
wrong but she couldn’t recall anything.
She kept wondering what had gone wrong.
She held her head, “Where am I now?”
Armand walked to her and pushed her into the reception room. While passing by Theresa, he asked,
“Could you please wait for me for a moment?”
Theresa nodded in agreement, taking a look at Elizabeth who looked quite suffered.
Armand spent some time calming down Elizabeth. Then he asked the receptionist to keep an eye on
her and walked out.
“Let’s talk in the cafe opposite,” said Armand.
Theresa said OK.
They entered the café and found a quiet corner to sit down. A waiter came over and asked, “What
would you like to order?”
“A cup of caffe americano. What about you?” Armand looked at Theresa and asked.
Theresa answered, “A glass of water would be fine.”
Armand said to the waiter, “That’s all. Thank you.”
“Okay, Sir.”
The waiter walked away. They were silent for a moment. Armand took the initiative to ask, “How have
you been recently? I can tell you’ve lost so much weight.”
Theresa looked down, her eyelashes trembling slightly, “I’m pretty well.”
For some reason, they became quite polite with each other, not so intimate as before.
Armand’s hands that were under the table kept clenching and loosening from time to time. After a
while, he said, “I forgot the take out the drafted agreement with me just now. I’ll call my coworker to
bring them here.”
As he spoke, he gazed at Theresa and wanted to see if she would be reluctant and she still loved him
from her expression.
