Snare of Love novel Chapter 298

Matthew returned to the room. Dolores sat by the bed with her back facing him.

“Do you want to go back?”

Matthew stood by the door, not entering the room. He cast a silent glance at her back. Throughout the conversation, he never asked if there was a secret between her and Victoria.

Because if she wanted to say, she would have said at the beginning. She wouldn’t hide it from him until now.

“If you want to, I can do this favor for you.” His voice was gentle.

Dolores stood up, turned around, and looked at him, “I just don’t want your relationship with your family members to be too stiff.”

Matthew didn’t respond to her, “It’s late now. You go to bed earlier.”

Dolores approached him, “Are you angry?”

Matthew looked at her and said after quite a while, “No.”

As Chinese New Year approached, it was bustling and lively there. Every family pasted rhyming couplets and hung large red lanterns in front of their doors. The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year was strong.

Dolores went to the shop the next day, early in the morning. Because of celebrating Chinese New Year, she wanted to give everyone leave for Chinese New Year so that they could rest well during this time.

Theresa was feckless and sat in her seat without saying anything. Dolores received Armand’s call last night and was worried that they had a falling out. She walked towards Theresa and sat by her side, “Are you and Armand still fine?”

Theresa looked gloomy and said lightly, “Not bad.”

She didn’t want to talk about the problem between her and Armand. She was willing to marry him at that time. Now they were having issues in their relationship. She wanted to solve the problem herself.

Dolores patted her shoulder, “Just let me know if you need anything.”

Theresa said with a smile, “All right.”

Allison came here at the time, “Theresa, there is a woman outside who wants to find you.”

Woman?

Who?

“Perhaps she is one of our customers. She is looking for you specifically. So, I can’t block her, right?” Allison gave Theresa a vague wink.

Someone wanting to meet her meant she recognized her design.

Theresa stood up, “Then I’ll go and meet her.”

“Go ahead.” Dolores waved her hand.

Theresa reached downstairs. All of the clothes in the shop window were covered because they were afraid that they would get coated with the dust during this period. When the shop reopened, they had to clean it every day.

Phoebe took a seat on the sofa for the guests. She turned around when she heard footsteps and saw Theresa walking towards her.

When Theresa realized that she was Phoebe, her steps hesitated. But she returned normal in a short while. It was obvious that Phoebe came here to show herself off.

She could lose, but she couldn’t lose her charisma.

Theresa kept her smile on her face, “Hello, do you come here to find someone to make clothes for you?”

Phoebe also smiled, “I think you already know who I am. Are you available? I’ll treat you. How about we get some coffee together?”

Theresa refused euphemistically, “I’m sorry. I still have something to busy with. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to have coffee with you.”

“You are afraid of me.” Phoebe purposefully provoked Theresa.

Theresa frowned, “What am I afraid of you?”

“Why don’t you even want to have a coffee with me if you’re not afraid of me?”

“We’re not familiar with each other. Why do I have to have coffee with you?” Theresa asked a question in response.

“We had, indeed, met only for a few times. But, don’t forget, I’m Armand’s girlfriend…”

“Ex-girlfriend,” Theresa reminded her.

Phoebe smiled lightly, “All right. Even though I’m his ex-girlfriend, we used to be in love. You are now his wife. We have had the same man. How can you claim that you have nothing to do with me?”

“You can say whatever you want to.” Theresa remained stubborn throughout.

She was repulsive and scared of this woman.

“Okay.” Phoebe sat back down on the sofa, “It’s the same to say anywhere.”

Theresa looked at her, “What do you want to say? Do you want to share your love story with Armand? I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in it. I’m sorry, but I can’t serve you if you’re not here to find someone to make clothes for you. And, we’re on our leave. If you need any assistance, please come here after Chinese New Year.”

Theresa turned around and made her way upstairs after saying.

“Do you know the matter about Armand’s parents?” Theresa came to a halt. She did hear Mrs. Leslie mentioning it with Armand in the hospital at that time.

She found Armand was very repulsive about it. She didn’t know about the specifics.

“You two are husband and wife. Didn’t he even tell you anything about his parents?” Phoebe was well aware that Armand was unwilling to let other people know about it.

She bet Armand wouldn’t tell Theresa about his parents.

As long as Armand didn’t tell Theresa about his parents, she would sow discord between them if she brought up this.

Theresa gripped the banister, and she held it tighter continuously. Concealing was the most taboo thing between husband and wife.

Armand clearly did not trust her. He never brought it up with Theresa.

Theresa thought that their relationship was quite good.

However, their relationship was so fragile.

Their relationship broke just because his ex-girlfriend appeared.

Although her heart was hurting now, she didn’t show it to Phoebe.

“Of course, I know what had happened to him.” Theresa tried to hide it and pretended to be calm in front of Phoebe in order to hide the fact that she didn’t know anything about Armand’s parents.

Phoebe stared at her and smiled as if she had seen right through everything, “Is it?”

“Then tell me how his parents died.”

Theresa returned her gaze to Phoebe, “Don’t you already know? Why do you want to ask me?”

Phoebe smiled, “You are deceiving yourself. You can lie to yourself, but you can’t lie to your relationship with Armand. I’ll be frank to you. The reason I come back this time is to get back with him.”

Theresa’s heart was filled with countless ripples, “You should say these words to Armand.”

“I will, of course, tell him. And we have an appointment tonight.” Phoebe looked at her, “Let’s see who he cares about more.”

Phoebe turned around and left after she finished saying.

Theresa was left standing on the stairs like her situation now. She couldn’t move up or down, and she was stuck in the middle. She felt terrible until she couldn’t breathe.

She wanted to have faith in her and Armand’s relationship.

But obviously, their relationship was not only frail, but they lacked the most fundamental trust in each other.

She did want to trust Armand. But Phoebe’s successive questions revealed that Armand didn’t even trust her.

“Did she come to look for someone to design clothes for her?” Allison made her way downstairs.

Theresa said with a stiff expression, “She got the wrong person.”

Allison frowned, “What wrong person?”

Theresa didn’t explain anything walked downstairs hurriedly, “You tell Lola that I’ll leave first.”

She dashed out of the shop before she could get Allison’s response. She stopped a car by the roadside and went to the law firm.

She wanted to ask Armand clearly. If he really wanted to get back with Phoebe, he should just tell her and not hurt her by his concealment.

Her thoughts were racing as she was on the way, and she had a long list of things she wanted to say to Armand.

She wanted Armand to be aware of her concerns and fears in her heart.

The car soon came to a halt in front of the law firm. Theresa got out of the car after paying the fee.

It just so happened that Armand was walking out quickly of the law firm when she wanted to go in, and he seemed to have something urgent to deal with.

“Armand,” Theresa called him.

“Why are you here?” Armand walked towards her.

“I come here to find you. I have some questions for you and something to say to you,” Theresa said.

“I have something to busy with now. Can you go to the office and wait for me?”

Theresa’s heart suddenly sank. Her body uncontrollably swayed as if she would collapse in the next second.

What was he going to do? Was he going to meet Phoebe?

Theresa wanted to make herself look better. She didn’t want her status to be lowered in front of him. However, she felt that her heart had been broken.

“It’s freezing outside. You go in first. I’ll be back soon.” Armand patted her on the shoulder. He got into the car and left before Theresa could say anything.
