Snare of Love

Chapter 767 The Wedding Invitation

Armand was still in the hospital, so Theresa didn’t stay at home for long because she needed to go

back to the hospital to take care of Armand. Elizabeth said, “Don’t worry. I’m well taken care of now.”

Theresa nodded. She filled the new caregiver in to take good care of Elizabeth.

“Sure. Don’t worry,” said Dora.

Abbott hadn’t left Bernie’s mansion when Theresa left the house, so he fetched Theresa to the hospital

before going away.

Theresa found out that Boyce was there when she arrived at the hospital. It was initially Boyce’s

responsibility, but he was swamped at work since Officer Miller left. He could only come to the hospital

after he got off work.

Boyce was told that Elizabeth was discharged after he got to the hospital. So, he came to visit Armand

in his ward.

Armand told Boyce that Theresa helped out in the discharge procedure.

Boyce felt relief. He stared at Armand and teased him, “Stop acting already?”

Armand laughed bitterly, “I’m scared that she’d kill me if I continue acting.”

“Why? Did she find out?” Boyce didn’t understand what Armand meant.

Armand couldn’t explain why. He was afraid to lose Theresa, “No…”

At the same time, Theresa came into the room. She asked Armand, “What’re you talking about?”

Armand said, “Nothing. I was asking him how was his newly wedded life.” Armand changed the topic

on purpose and shifted attention to Boyce.

Boyce felt speechless.

Theresa said, “Boyce, you got married in such a hurry. I haven’t even prepared a gift for you.”

“Well, you can give me the gift another time,” Boyce said, “Since you came back, then I shall leave

now.”

Boyce stood up. He wanted to leave the space for Armand and Theresa.

Armand insulted Boyce, “Are you sure you didn’t leave because you’re missing your newly wedded

wife?”

Boyce felt like slapping Armand. He rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll forgive you today because of

Theresa.”

Armand laughed, “Don’t you think my injuries should be the reason you’re forgiving me?”

Boyce sneered, “You don’t deserve it.”

Then, Boyce said goodbye to Theresa and left the ward.

Theresa walked over and asked Armand if he was feeling better.

Armand replied, “I felt better,” he then got Theresa to sit beside him, “Are you tired?”

Theresa shook her head, “I’m not.”

“You seemed tired.”

Armand could see the exhaustion on Theresa’s face. She hadn’t been rest well the past few days.

Armand stroked Theresa’s hand, “Theresa, let’s go register for marriage tomorrow, then go home.”

They had a wedding reception last time, but they hadn’t got registered for marriage.

“You’re not recovered yet,” Theresa didn’t want him to overthink.

“I’m alright. I can rest at home as well. I can come to the hospital to take off gauze for the wound on my

head later. It’s boring in the hospital.”

“Did your doctor agree with it?” Theresa asked.

Armand answered, “The doctor agreed with it. I’ve asked him before.”

“Then, do it as you wish,” said Theresa.

“Theresa, you’re the best,” Armand held Theresa’s hand up and kissed her hand, “You took care of me

while I’m the one who should be taking care of you. I feel guilty about it.”

Theresa pouted. She replied after a while, “We’re family. Don’t act like a stranger. If you feel guilty

about it, then treat me better.”

Armand got up from the bed. A tingling pain occurred as he touched some of his wounds, but he didn’t

show any of it. He hugged Theresa and got into her arms. Theresa was afraid to touch his wounds, so

she didn’t dare to hug him back. Theresa sat beside the bed and said, “Armand, you’re like a child.”

Armand rubbed his face in Theresa’s arms, “Then I’ll be your child.”

Theresa felt speechless.

“Nonsense,” Theresa couldn’t help but chuckle. She slapped Armand’s back lightly, and Armand acted

innocent, “It hurts! I need some love.”

“Stop goofing around. You’re at the hospital now,” Theresa asked Armand to get up, and he did, “I’ll ask

the nurse to add a bed in the room. You can rest here at night. You didn’t rest well the past few days,

am I right? I saw the heavy dark circle under your eyes.”

“Alright,” Theresa answered. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Theresa slept on the additional bed at night. She was sleeping safe and sound because she didn’t rest

well the past few days. On the other hand, Armand couldn’t sleep. He got out of the bed and walked to

Theresa’s bed, then stared at her under the dimmed light.

Armand knew Theresa was unhappy for compromising about having children.

Armand stroked Theresa’s hair and smiled. It proved that Theresa loved and cared about him when

she compromised about having children. She didn’t want to see him tortured by Elizabeth.

Armand slept beside Theresa that night.

At the same time, Matthew only got out of a business meeting. Abbott was initially in-charged of this

project, but he resigned, and he couldn’t find anyone to replace Abbott, so he had to take over the

project himself.

That was why he got off work late.

Dolores was still awake. She was waiting for Matthew. Furthermore, Dolores got too much sleep in the

daytime, so she didn’t feel tired at night.

“Don’t wait up. You should go to bed early.”

Dolores said, “I waited because I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?” Matthew took off his coat and put it on the chair. Then, he walked to Dolores.

Dolores handed the invitation on the table to Matthew, “Have a look.”

It looked like a wedding invitation as it was a pink invitation. Matthew opened it, and it proved his

presumption right. The wedding was tomorrow, and it invited both Matthew and Dolores to the wedding.

Matthew frowned, “But you…”

“It’s inappropriate not to go,” Dolores stared at Matthew.

Matthew put the invitation down and sat beside the bed. He pulled his collar, and Dolores helped him to

unbutton his collar, “You’re loaded with work today? Did you drink?”

Matthew said, “I’ve drunk a little. I had to. It was for business. Abbott is resigning, and I can’t find a

replacement yet.”

Dolores was surprised, “Why did Abbott resign?”

Matthew wasn’t sure why Abbott resigned either. But it was obvious that he couldn’t concentrate and he

kept making mistakes at work. He really needed time off.

“What do you think?” Matthew knew Dolores wanted to go to the wedding.

Dolores was worried too. After all, she wasn’t exactly in the pink of health, and her due date was near.

Matthew was swamped with work as well. Dolores didn’t want to trouble him.

“I’ll give them a call tomorrow morning,” Dolores helped Matthew to take off his shirt, “Go shower and

get rest. It’s getting late.”

Matthew stared at Dolores for a while, but he ended up didn’t say anything to her. He then stood up

and walked into the bathroom.

After Matthew came out from the shower, Dolores was almost asleep. The air-conditioner wasn’t turned

on, and Dolores felt warm, so she didn’t put a blanket on herself. Dolores wore a white nightgown. She

laid down flat, and her tummy looked huge. Matthew walked over. He bowed and stroked Dolores’

tummy.

Dolores pulled Matthew’s shirt.

Matthew looked at Dolores and asked, “What is it? You didn’t want me to touch it?”

Dolores smiled. She shook her head and said softly, “No. It’s tickling.”
