Snare of Love novel Chapter 280

Theresa hesitated, “I…”

“Have you heard our conversation?” Armand showed a bad expression. He did not want others to know his past.

Theresa wanted to explain that she did not hear it purposely but she was frightened when facing his cold face. Not knowing why, she was afraid that Armand would get angry, “I just come back, what do you say? Mrs. Leslie asks me to another place deliberately, are you two talking about me?”

Armand showed a calmer expression, “Yes, she wants me to treat you well. By the way, why do you come back without buying anything?”

“I go out in a hurry, I don’t bring anything including money,” Theresa escaped from his sight. She felt uneasy and ashamed because of her lie just now.

However, Armand thought that she was embarrassed. He curved his lips and took out the wallet from his pocket, he gave it to her, “Here you are.”

Theresa looked up at him, “Just give me 100 Yuan is enough, no need to give me the wallet.”

Armand looked at her hand and put his wallet into her hand, “We are spouse, mine is yours.”

Theresa looked at him, her fingers curved subconsciously.

Armand smiled, “You are touched by this trivial matter? I haven’t given you all my property, you're too easy to bribe.”

Theresa stared at him, “I want to leave now.”

“Ok.”

Armand watched her leaving, he closed the door and walked into the ward. Just then, his phone rang. He took out his phone and it showed Boyce’s name. He picked up the call. Armand spoke first before Boyce said anything, “Have the bastard died?”

“He will not die, he is in the operation room now. How is Mrs. Leslie?” Boyce made this call is aimed to know the situation of Mrs. Leslie.

Armand pulled the chair by the bed and sat down, “Nothing serious, just a small injury. The doctor says that she can go back home after undergoing the observation for a night.”

“Ok,” Boyce did not hang up the call after saying that, he had something to tell but stopped on second thought.

“Just say whatever you want, why are you so hesitant?”

“Actually, it’s Dolores who asks me to make this call,” Boyce thought that he should tell Armand after he considered for a while, “Dolores might think that the incident occurred because of her. She worries about Mrs. Leslie. So, she wants me to ask about her situation by calling you.”

Armand knew that the incident had nothing to do with Dolores.

No one expected that Mrs. Leslie would appear and Sampson kidnapped her. Furthermore, Dolores risked her life to save Mrs. Leslie.

“It has nothing to do with her, I know it clearly.”

“Alright, after I settle everything here, I will visit Mrs. Leslie…”

“No need, everybody is exhausted after the incident. You should rest well and we have to leave tomorrow. It is the end of the year. You've been out for a long time and you'll have to explain to the unit when you get back.”

Boyce answered and hung up the call.

Armand put his phone into his pocket after hanging up the call, Mrs. Leslie looked at him and asked, “Who called you?”

“It’s Boyce. He asks about your situation. I tell him that you are fine,” Armand covered Mrs. Leslie with the blanket, “Let bygones be bygones, don’t tell Theresa about the matter of my parents.”

“She is not an outsider,” Mrs. Leslie thought that it was unnecessary to conceal it.

“It is so embarrassing, I don’t want her to know that,” Armand showed a bad expression.

He would change his expression whenever his past was mentioned.

Mrs. Leslie thought that it was not an embarrassing matter, it was not his fault, “Then, you want to conceal it forever? She is your wife, she is the one that has to get along with you forever. You should trust her. No matter she believes you or not, you should have the right attitude. What is the worst part of a marriage? The worst part is mistrust.”

Although Mrs. Leslie was old, she was smart. She had lived for a few decades, she knew everything.

“We’ll see. After I get ready,” Armand was reluctant to talk about it anymore. He distracted the conversation purposely, “You should be tired, right? Rest well.”

Mrs. Leslie worried about his attitude, “You are married, what do you want to prepare anymore? Do you still miss Phoebe?”

“No, why do you mention her?” Armand thought that Mrs. Leslie was weird. She talked about his parents and his first love. What did she want to do?

“Grandma, do you feel uncomfortable? If yes, I will ask the doctor to come…”

Pap!

“Are you cursing me?” Mrs. Leslie patted Armand.

Armand lowered his volume, “Then why you keep talking about the past?”

Mrs. Leslie talked seriously, “I worry about you!”

Armand covered Mrs. Leslie with the blanket, “I am not a small kid anymore, I know what should I do. My great concern is your health.”

Mrs. Leslie sighed and gave him a warning, “Armand, I tell you, I like Theresa. No matter what happens in the future, no matter who you will meet again, you must not change your love towards Theresa."

“I know it, don’t worry,” Armand did not concern much, Mrs. Leslie was always like that.

She liked to nag.

After a while, Theresa brought some food and put them on the table, “I am not familiar with this area, I go a bit far to buy these.”

After putting down the food, she gave the wallet to Armand, “Your wallet.”

“Keep it for me,” Armand did not receive it, he took the spring rolls she bought and stuffed two into his mouth. He chewed a few times and swallowed it.

He drank some water, “You stay here to accompany my grandma, I have something to settle.”

Theresa agreed.

After Armand left, Theresa adjusted her bed and took the porridge. Theresa sat on the chair and fed Mrs. Leslie, “Eat some porridge, Mrs. Leslie.”

Mrs. Leslie smiled and opened her mouth.

She could move but she just wanted Theresa to take care of her.

Theresa held the porridge. She fed Mrs. Leslie after making sure that the porridge was not hot.

Theresa fed her little by little of the porridge, Theresa gave a tissue to Mrs. Leslie to wipe her mouth. Mrs. Leslie lay there and did not move, she enjoyed being served by Theresa.

“What do you think Armand go out for?” Mrs. Leslie asked.

Theresa tidied up the table, “I don’t know.”

“Then why you don’t ask him?” Mrs. Leslie asked tentatively.

Theresa did not care so much, she did not even think of the question asked by Mrs. Leslie. She threw the bowl into the rubbish bin, “Doesn’t he say that he has something to settle? There must be something to be settled, he knows what to do. Don’t worry.”

Theresa thought that Mrs. Leslie worried about Armand. She washed her hand and adjusted the bed to let Mrs. Leslie rest, “I will stay here, you can call me if you need me. You should sleep now.”

Mrs. Leslie was indeed tired after talking a lot. She was satisfied with Theresa’s attitude.

She did not ask the whereabouts of Armand, she must trust him totally.

But Armand concealed his matter and kept it from her.

Mrs. Leslie could not help but sigh.

Armand walked out of the ward and took out his phone. He called Boyce.

The call was picked up instantly.

“Where are you?”

“Hospital,” Boyce felt awkward, he had said that he was saving Sampson in the previous call.

“I am asking which hospital are you at? I will see you now,” Mrs. Leslie was taken care of by Theresa, he had some free time to get even with Sampson.
