Snare of Love

Chapter 721 Everyone Has a Desire to Be Pretty

Armand squatted by the wall and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He shook a piece out,

put it into his mouth, and clumsily lit it up.

This was also the first time Theresa saw him smoking.

She knew very well that Armand never smokes.

However, he was hiding and smoking in an isolated place at this moment. She could see how frustrated

he was feeling inside.

To think about it, she was infertile herself, and his only family was urging him to get married and have

children. How could he not be suffering deep inside?

Theresa really didn’t want to see him struggling so much.

She turned around quietly. She didn’t go upstairs to see Elizabeth anymore because she had

underestimated Elizabeth’s desire for a great-grandson.

She didn’t think about it too much when she came over. She just wanted to see Armand and visit

Elizabeth. It was this unplanned action that let her clearly see the problem between herself and

Armand.

How long could they be together if they didn’t have any children?

Armand may not want one, but it would be impossible for his grandmother to not want one.

She sat by the flower garden on the roadside and gave Armand a phone call as she took her phone

out. The call was picked up when it connected after it rang for a short while.

Theresa could imagine what he was doing when he answered the phone late.

He was probably adjusting his mood or putting out the cigarette in his hand.

“Theresa.”

Soon enough, Armand’s relaxed voice echoed over.

If she didn’t see him hiding and smoking to alleviate his emotions, she would definitely think that he

was in a good mood right now as she listened to his voice through the phone.

However, she knew that Armand was just faking his good mood right now.

He was hiding his inner feelings in front of her.

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to call you,” Theresa lowered her head and looked at her toes, “Armand.”

“Hmm?”

Theresa really wanted to say, ‘Let’s break up.’

‘And stop tormenting each other.’

But she couldn’t say it out loud.

She could actually feel that Armand still had feelings for her.

She also felt the same.

“Why are you not talking? Did you miss me?”

As Armand’s voice echoed over, it pulled Theresa’s drifting thoughts back. She said, “I don’t know what

to say.”

Theresa stood up and threw the flowers she bought into the trash can on the roadside, “I still have to

work. I’ll hang up now…”

“Don’t hang up.”

Armand hurriedly interrupted her. He was afraid that she would hang up.

Theresa asked, “Did something happen?”

“You gave me a phone call, but you’re going to hang up without even saying that you miss me. Isn’t

that too harsh?”

Theresa hailed a taxi, got in, and said, “Armand, can you stop being so immature?”

“Am I immature?” Armand’s voice echoed through. Before Theresa could respond, he spoke again, “I

am immature, but I only want to be immature towards you.”

Theresa held her phone tightly. Her heart seemed to have been pricked by something.

The taxi driver asked, “Miss, where are you going?”

“Where are you, Theresa?”

“I’m in a car outside.”

Armand doubted, “Didn’t you say that you’re going to work a while ago? Why are you in a car right

now?”

“I am going out to meet a client, Armand. I still have something to do. I’ll hang up now.”

“Well, get going with your work. I miss you, Theresa, even if you don’t miss me. Take good care of

yourself. I’ll see you after Mrs. Bernie leaves the hospital in a few days.”

“Mhm,” Theresa mumbled, “I’ll hang up now.”

After saying that, she immediately hung up.

She just felt her heart was gripped by something. It was so suffocating that she couldn’t even breathe.

She couldn’t tell if it was heartache or it was aching where else. She just couldn’t control the tightening

of her throat and the twitching of her nose. She just wanted to cry.

She covered her mouth and nose with her palm and choked up.

The driver in front didn’t know where to go either, so he asked again in a whisper, “Miss, where are you

going?”

Theresa came back to her senses and realized that she was sitting inside a car right now. She hurriedly

sniffed back and gave him the address of the villa.

Since she was here, she was going to visit the two kids and Dolores Flores.

The driver started the car and asked, “Are you heartbroken?”

Theresa collected her emotions and asked, “Where in me did you see that I’m heartbroken?”

The driver smiled, “You look so pretty, so of course you won’t be heartbroken. There are definitely a lot NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

of people who like you.”

Theresa smiled, “Pretty? Don’t you know that plastic surgery is popular right now? This entire face had

work done.”

“Everyone has a desire to be pretty. That’s normal.”

Theresa didn’t respond anymore.

After a while, the car stopped at the gates of the villa, and Theresa got out of the car after paying.

The driver gazed at the independent and unique building outside the window. He sighed, “Indeed, she

has the money to do plastic surgery since she lives in such a nice villa.”

The driver withdrew his envious gaze as he drove his car away.

Theresa walked towards the gate and rang the doorbell. Coral came to open the door. Coral was the

only one at home since Jasmine Burke and the two kids went to school, and Jayden Nelson and Kevin

Forbis weren’t at home. Coral wasn’t sure where they went either, but they would pick up the kids and

take them home on time anyway.

“Ms. Gordon,” Coral hurriedly moved aside to let her in.

Theresa smiled, “How are you, Coral?”

Coral also smiled and said, “I’m just the same. My health has been fine.”

After she entered the house, Coral asked, “What would you like to drink?”

Theresa said, “Water is fine.”

Coral poured her a glass of water and brought it over. Theresa took it. She was just about to ask if

Dolores was at home when she heard Coral sighing, “Mrs. Nelson has been abroad for two days

already. I wonder how she is doing now.”

Theresa raised her head to look at Coral and asked, “What did you say?”

“I said Mrs. Nelson went abroad…Didn’t you know about it?” Coral thought she knew.

She thought Dolores would tell her.

Dolores didn’t give Theresa a phone call to tell her that she was going abroad. Now that she was

abroad, Theresa would definitely ask her why.

She just didn’t want other people to worry about herself.

“What happened?” Theresa nervously asked. How could she go abroad at this time when she was

pregnant?

“It seemed to be because of Mrs. Nelson’s health. I’m not sure of the details either,” Coral said.

Theresa took her phone out and gave Dolores a phone call. However, it couldn’t get through. She

frowned, “Why can’t I reach her?”

“Maybe it’s because she’s abroad.” Coral guessed.

Theresa took her phone and stood up. She decided to find Boyce Shawn and ask him about it.

She didn’t want Armand to know that she came back already, so she could only go look for Boyce.

‘Why did Dolores have to go abroad for her health?’ She really wanted to know.

As she walked through the hallway to open the door, someone was just about to enter from the outside.

When she saw that someone came, she was stunned for a long while.
