Snare of Love novel Chapter 199

Armand and Theresa were sitting in the place beside the window. There were a few empty cups on the table and it seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time.

Armand looked worn-out. When he saw them come in, he pounced on them without bothering his image at all, “You guys are finally back. We’ve been waiting for you guys for half a day.”

Boyce disgustedly pushed him away, “Lost? What took you so long?”

He said he had left long ago and by right, he should have arrived early.

As he spoke, he glanced at Theresa who was walking towards Dolores. Why did he bring her here also?

What did this guy do to her?

Armand was vexed so he did not notice Boyce’s strange gaze. When he came, he was caught by his grandmother and she kept asking him when did he want to get married, otherwise, she would not allow him to come out.

He lied and said he was getting married at the end of the year and he managed to come out only after saying so.

So, he was delayed.

The main problem was that he did not even have a proper girlfriend yet.

“Don’t mention it, it’s caused by my grandmother.” Seeing Armand’s troubled look, Boyce understood what was the exact reason.

Although the Bernie family was not a great noble family, it was also considered a family of scholars. However, Armand’s parents died early and he had only a grandmother left. Now, Armand was also a man in his thirties so it was normal that his grandmother was anxious about his marriage.

“She urges you again?” Boyce used his shoulder to touch him.

“Yeah.”

“Isn’t that a ready-made one?” Boyce raised his chin in front of him. Not far away, Theresa was hugging Dolores and she did not let go of her, “I can finally see you. I was very afraid when you disappeared. I was afraid that you were in danger. You said that our trip back to here this time would be thrilling and exciting.”

“It’s fine, don’t worry, isn’t that I’m fine?” Dolores patted her shoulder.

Armand looked at Theresa and twitched his lips, “This woman is not bad but it’s hard to hook up with her.”

“You’re so good at tactics, do you need to worry that you can’t conquer this woman?” Boyce joked.

Armand glared at him, “Am I someone who is that mean?”

“Haha.” Boyce laughed inwardly. He thought that he was trying to pretend to be a good man again. Who was the one who changed women every day as if he was changing clothes.

However, Boyce knew that he was just playing around without being serious.

“By the way.” Boyce hooked his neck and went to the side to whisper, “I found that Matthew and…”

“Dad, what are they talking about?” Simona, who was lying on Matthew’s shoulder looked at the two people standing not far away who were whispering beside the window.

“Don’t care about them.” Matthew carried her upstairs.

Dolores helped Theresa pull the suitcase, “You must be tired after having a long journey. Go up and take a rest.”

“Okay.” Theresa did not let Dolores help her, “I can do it myself.” She reached out to caress Samuel’s head, “Samuel.”

“Theresa, how come you come together with him?” Samuel looked at Armand and then looked at Theresa.

Dolores originally also intended to ask how come they came together.

“He went to the store and told me that he found you. I was anxious to see you so I came along with him. When you weren’t at the store, the store didn’t receive orders and they were very few customers.” Theresa was a bit disappointed. She felt that she was still not capable enough. Although the two guests she served were satisfied with her design, they said that there was nothing more special and stunning so they eventually did not place any order.

Now, Allison was watching the store so she came over.

Dolores patted her shoulder and comforted her, “It’s okay, it will be fine.”

When she managed to hire the master who knew how to make gambier canton gauze, the store was bound to have many businesses.

Theresa told Dolores what happened in the store during this time. The two of them talked while going upstairs.

Boyce had arranged a sumptuous dinner to welcome Armand and Theresa.

Simona was sleepy and she insisted on wanting to be carried by Matthew, “Dad, hug me when I sleep.”

The little child was very pampered. She wrapped his neck and did not let go of her hand. She sweetly called, “Dad.”

Matthew kissed his daughter’s cheeks. He totally could not refuse upon seeing her cute look.

Matthew whispered to Dolores, “I’ll take her up first.”

Dolores nodded.

After Matthew left, Dolores used chopsticks to place food in her son’s bowl. Samuel took a bite, put down the chopsticks and slid down from the chair, “I’m done eating too.”

He wanted to go back to the room himself and he was so understanding that he was like an adult. Dolores was a bit worried, “I’ll accompany you to go up.”

“No need, I’ll be fine since there are people following me.” He pointed to the two bodyguards behind him.

Sampson’s position was unknown. Matthew worried that he would do something to his children and Dolores so he let the bodyguards always follow them.

“Dolores, you shouldn’t be like that. We came from thousands of miles away to come and see you, are you going to leave us alone?” Armand looked at Dolores with the grievance, “Let me toast you since I’ve tried hard to bring Ms. Gordon to you?”

He originally wanted to say that you should toast me but he did not dare to let her toast him as she was Matthew’s wife.

So, he changed his words and he said that he would toast her instead.

Dolores looked at Armand and then looked at Boyce and Theresa. She took the wine glass handed over by Armand and said while smiling, “I toast you guys, thank you for taking care of the people around me during my absence.”

She drank it all. Spirit was strong so the moment she drank all, her throat felt spicy and painful. She frowned, put down the glass and took a sip of water to ease her discomfort.

Armand blinked, “Dolores, you’re indeed good at drinking, I’ll also drink.”

Dolores had already drunk. She thought of the two children and said, “You guys continue to enjoy, I’ll go up first.”

Armand pulled her, “Dolores, Matthew is really inhumane, in addition to exploit us, he totally doesn’t treat us as human beings. I’m aggrieved but I dare not say.”

Armand was ‘crying’ when he complained about Matthew.

Dolores was speechless.

What did this have to do with her?
