Snare of Love

Armand stared at his cell phone for a long time. He didn’t reply to the message immediately. He imagined that she sent him a message because she missed him instead of discussing the divorce with him.

He had expectations and fear in his heart.

Plucking up his courage, he swiped to unlock the screen. With hesitation, he tabbed to read the message.

Theresa didn’t enter too many words, “I’ll go to find you tomorrow. Please get the divorce agreement ready.”

Reading the few words, Armand couldn’t help feeling disappointed. Without thinking twice, he replied: “Have you made up your mind?”

Actually, he wanted to ask her why she could make the decision so soon.

He knew that he shouldn’t question her, but he couldn’t help.

He felt quite upset.

The message tone didn’t ring at all. Theresa didn’t reply.

Before sending Armand the message, Theresa had made up her mind, so she didn’t reply to his last question.

Armand tabbed the contact list open and wanted to dial her phone number. He wanted to ask her why she could adjust her mood so soon and if it was because of another man. Thinking about her grievance, he gave up although he was so upset.

Leaning against the back of the chair, he closed his eyes.

After a while, he suppressed his surging emotion. Then he picked up his phone again and replied: “I’ve got it ready.”

He tossed the phone onto the passenger seat after sending the message. Then he started the engine and drove. As soon as he arrived home, he heard something smashed in the house. He hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, only to find that Elizabeth was scolding Bertha, “Who do you think you are? Why can’t I go out? You can’t stop me!”

Armand rushed over and said to Bertha, “Please don’t mind her.”

Bertha said, “I know. I don’t mind.”

“You can go back to work,” said Armand.

Bertha turned away.
