Snare of Love novel Chapter 726

Boyce looked over at him, his expression was totally blank, he was really in the dark about Theresa’s arrival in City B.

He recalled Theresa’s facial expression and her tone of voice, it all seemed like she knew about what Elizabeth wanted from them.

If that’s not the case, how would Armand not know that she had come to City B.

Why didn’t she want to tell Armand?

Even Boyce felt extremely anxious for Armand, he had finally earned Theresa’s forgiveness and she even gave him a chance to start over. Now with the obstacle of infertility, it would be difficult to deal with Elizabeth later.

It was naturally for an elderly to have such traditional mind-set, although, there were also many young people in this age that found it hard to accept a childless marriage.

A child would be an important bond in a matrimony.

When two people have a child in common, it would bring them more closely together.

“Sigh-”

Boyce had unconsciously let out a sigh.

Armand fixed his eyes on him, “What’s with you? Did a conflict arise between you and Jasmine? Or have you not settled things with Wendy?”

“Why would you think this is about me?” Boyce looked at him with full of pity.

“Why did you sigh then?” Armand couldn’t see that Boyce was worried for him.

Boyce ignored him and knocked on the door.

He’d understand everything once he met Theresa.

Jasmine was in the kitchen with Coral, and everyone else at home were either elders or children. Jessica Lennon didn’t have the chance to bond much with the two children when she returned, she was hugging the two kids while they talked.

She got up and opened the door.

“Boyce…”

She was about to welcome Boyce home when she discovered Armand who was beside him. She couldn’t help but freeze in place, but she managed to recover rather quickly and turned to Boyce.

Didn’t she say not to let Armand know that she was here?

Boyce shrugged his shoulders and acted nonchalantly, “I didn’t tell him, he was the one who insisted on following me back to the villa for dinner. I didn’t have a choice.”

Theresa understood their relationship in and out, they were even closer than biological brothers, she clutched the door hard, “Do you think I would believe what you said?”

“If you don’t trust me, you can ask Armand if he was the one who insisted on tagging along.” Boyce nudged Armand, “Talk then, go on and explain yourself.”

All Armand did was to stare at Theresa without uttering a single word.

He finally realized why Boyce urged him to come to the villa.

He ruminated on why Theresa left him out of the notice on her arrival here.

“Have you been to the hospital?” he tried to conceal his panic.

Theresa didn’t make a sound.

Boyce slipped sideways into the house tactfully.

Armand gripped Theresa’s wrist and pulled her straight to the wicker chair that was placed on the lawn, “Tell me, why didn’t you let me know you were here in City B?”

“I want to pay the two children a visit, can’t I?” Theresa sat herself down on the chair, with her head tilted upwards at him.

“Do you think I’m stupid? If you were here to only see the kids, why is there a need to hide this from me?” Armand contained his anger.

He was mad at her for not telling him the truth.

Theresa continued to feign ignorance, “It’s not that I’m hiding it from you, I just haven’t had the time to tell you.”

“Haha-”

Armand snickered, “The last we contacted was not too long ago, judging from the time, you were already in City B when we talked, no?”

They were considered as family if her past had not been brought up.

“I’ll give Matthew a call later in the evening, your release is good news, I’m sure Dolores would be happy to hear this too.” Jayden said.

Jessica was filled with guilt, what she did was bad, and it was nothing to be proud of. She stroked Amanda Nelson’s hair and cherished this moment, “I’m grateful to everyone for not giving up on me, I’ll lead a good life from now on.”

“We’re not family if we paid any mind to that.” Jayden explained.

Kevin Forbis went along as well, he sat next to Jayden and raised his glass, “Let’s have a toast to your freedom.”

Jessica was a lightweight, but she cooperated, “Thank you.”

Kevin introduced himself, “I’m Matthew’s uncle, we’re considered as relatives, so don’t worry about it. Everyone’s living in the same villa, we’re a family.”

Jessica smiled.

“Only Daddy and Mommy are absent today.” Andrew Nelson stared at the table full of people and voiced in disappointment.

They had suddenly left for overseas, grandfather told him that father and mother went travelling to other countries. School had just begun for him and his sister, and his mother was still pregnant, how could they possibly be travelling? He didn’t take a word of what he was told and was deeply troubled inside.

Jessica caressed his head and comforted the child silently.

Armand who loved to chatter was completely quiet at the table, Boyce and Jasmine were still too.

He had introduced himself when Jessica returned, and everyone knew each other already.

The elderly didn’t have much to talk about as well, with only Matthew not present.

Dinner was a pleasant one, when it was over, Armand said his goodbyes to the seniors. He told them that his grandma was admitted, and that he had to go back to the hospital.

He was being filial, no one would’ve said anything to stop him.

Theresa helped to clean up the dishes with no thoughts of talking to Armand, she figured it was best if the both of them could use this time to calm down. Nevertheless, Armand called out to her, “Theresa, can you give me a ride? I’m not driving today.”
