Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 296 I Got Nervous When I Saw You Crying

Armand paused and slowly withdrew his movements. He didn't know why he was afraid to confess to

Theresa that he had seen Phoebe.

Almost instinctively, he lied, "I met with a client, so I forgot to pick you up."

Theresa waited for his confession, but all she got was a lie from him.

Her heart sank. She was panicking inside. And she didn't know what to do with their relationship.

She stood up and went to her wardrobe to find her clothes, but Armand hugged her from behind,

"What's wrong with you? There seems to be something wrong with you."

Theresa wrenched free of his hug, "I'm going to sleep in the guest room."

Armand pulled her back, "What did you say?"

She had just married him and wanted to sleep in a separate bed from him. If Mrs. Leslie found out

about this, she would worry about their relationship again.

"I'm tired today." Theresa's voice sounded a little choked up.

She felt she was injured inside.

Armand's heart tightened, and then he reached up to take her face in his hands. Although she didn't

want to cry, she couldn't hold back the tears. The oppression and grievance she felt at the moment

Armand touched her reached its climax. Then she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

When he saw her crying, Armand panicked. He reached out to wipe her tears, "What's wrong with you?

Tell me if you were wronged in the store. Were you given a hard time by a customer?"

Theresa cried harder and harder.

"Don't cry. When I see you cry, I feel panic. If you suffer too much, then you can quit your job. And you

can count on me." Armand wiped her tears.

Theresa lowered her eyes, "I don't want you to take care of me. I can take care of myself. I just think of

something sad. And that's why I can't help it..."

Armand took her into his arms, "Don't think about it."

"Would you lie to me?" Theresa asked.

Armand stiffened, but he quickly regained his natural expression and said, "I wouldn't."

Theresa sniffled, "I will give myself two chances."

She was also giving Armand two chances. If he lied to her again, then she would divorce him.

She regarded getting a divorce as respect for their marriage.

"Why are you giving yourself two chances?" Armand listened to what she said and felt a little confused.

"It's nothing." She broke away from Armand's hug.

"I want to be alone. I'm going to sleep in the guest room."

Armand pulled her back, "If you let Mrs. Leslie see you sleeping in the guest room like this, she'll be

worried about us. And she'll think something is wrong with our relationship. How about this? Since you

are not in a good mood today, I won't touch you. Will you stay here?"

Theresa didn't listen to him because she didn't want to look at Armand. And she could think of Phoebe

when she saw him.

"How about I sleep on the floor instead of sharing a bed with you? Will you stop walking away from

me?" Armand whispered.

"Look, my grandma is so old, so I don't want her to worry about me." Armand's tone sounded humble

when he said the latter words.

Theresa turned to look at Armand. He kept saying that he was afraid Mrs. Leslie would be sad.

Wouldn't he tell her not to leave him either?

She smiled bitterly, "Okay."

Since she decided to give him another chance, she had to endure the pain she suffered this time.

It was she who was too softhearted. She had agreed to marry him at first, but she was now suffering

the misery she had inflicted on herself.

She took her clothes and went to the bathroom.

Armand sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Suddenly, he

had a flash of insight, pulled out his phone, and checked his phone records. She hadn't called him,

which meant she couldn't have found out he'd met with Phoebe today.

But Theresa obviously looked not in good mood. Was she like this because he had seen Phoebe

during the day?

Could she still take it to her heart?

When he saw Theresa like this, Armand felt very nervous. Then he took out his cell phone and called

Dolores.

He wanted to ask Dolores if Theresa was like this in the store today.

Dolores did go to the store today. Because she had been out for so long, she always checked on the

store when she returned. The store seemed to be a little empty.

Allison had taken a few orders during Dolores' absence. Some people came to the store because of

Dolores' reputation. As she wasn't in the store, Allison wasn't able to keep the customers.

Dolores was in the store for a day. On one hand, she was trying to calm her down about Jessica's

issues. And on the other hand, she was trying to think of a way to get the store to do well. In this way,

Allison, Theresa, and other shop assistants could earn more.

Moreover, the daily expenses of the store also needed money.

Although Matthew was rich, she did not want to rely on him.

She decided to do a fashion show after the year to attract customers. Besides, she also wanted people

to see the strength of the designers in her shop. She calmed down for a day. Then she decided to go to

the Flores family with Matthew in the evening.

As she was getting out of the car, her phone rang. Then she saw that Armand's name was displayed

on the screen.

She couldn't help but wonder why Armand was calling her.

She looked up at Matthew.

Matthew closed the car door and walked towards her, "Who's calling you?"

"Armand," Dolores answered.

"Why is he calling you?" Matthew glanced at her phone screen.

Dolores shook her head, "I don't know."Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She said that as she answered the phone, "Hello."

"Dolores, it's me."

Dolores merely said, "Hum."

"Was Theresa in a bad mood when she was working in the store today?" Armand asked.

Dolores kept herself locked up in her office. And when she had lunch, she saw that Theresa seemed to

be in a good mood.

"No. "As Armand asked this question about Theresa, it meant that Theresa obviously looked unhappy.

"Did you guys have a falling out?"

Armand hastily denied, "No. I noticed that she was not in a good mood, so I wondered if she had come

across something unhappy in the store."

"No," Dolores said.

"Oh, alright. I'll hang up now."

Dolores merely said, "Hum", and hung up the phone.

Matthew was close to her and heard her talk with Armand. Then he didn't ask her anything. He put his

arm around her, "Just leave everything to me."

Dolores nodded.

She still didn't think Jessica should have remarried Randolph.

The reason Jessica suddenly wanted to remarry Randolph must be because of what Randolph had

threatened and done to her. In a word, Jessica was definitely reluctant to remarry Randolph.

Dolores came to the Flores family today to ask Randolph why.

"Let's go." Matthew's arms were wrapped around Dolores as he walked across the paving stones and

walked to the front of the villa.

Randolph had sold the villa before. And he bought it back later.

It was still the Flores family's villa.

Click.

They rang the doorbell.

There were maids in the villa. And it was the maid who opened the door. Since the maid was new here,

she didn't know Dolores and Matthew, so she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Dolores looked into the villa to see Jessica and Randolph watching TV in the living room. And there

were fruits on the table. They looked like a happy and loving couple.

"Who is it?" Randolph looked at the door. When he saw Dolores and Matthew, he stood up from the

couch and smiled, "Lola, you are back home."

He scolded the maid, "What's going on? Why don't you let them in?"

The maid bowed her head and stepped aside.

Randolph smiled flatteringly, "Mr. Nelson, I'm sorry. She is new here, so she doesn't know you."

The previous maids at the villa had all been dismissed when the Flores family was in trouble at that

time.

Matthew didn't respond. If it weren't for Dolores, he wouldn't be here.

And he wouldn't be dealing with someone like Randolph.

Randolph didn't look embarrassed. He smiled as he said, "Come in."

Dolores walked in.

Jessica's heart tightened as she stood up.
