And his grandmother asked him back and forth several times. And it took his grandmother just one morning to ask him.
He felt like he was going crazy.
And he could not wait to find a woman to get married at once so that Mrs. Leslie would stop talking about it.
Boyce watched the dramatic scene in silence beside them. Theresa, on the other hand, seemed to have nothing to do with it. She neither interrupted her nor expressed her opinions. And she occasionally talked to Samuel, who was sitting next to her.
Loredana looked clearly preoccupied and depressed.
Armand’s grandmother took a look around the table. She thought that Loredana was not an option as Armand’s wife. And she found that Theresa was the only one left who was not married. Then she said, “What’s your name?”
Theresa looked at Armand and then at her grandmother, “My name is Theresa Gordon.”
“Theresa Gordon? Your last name is Gordon, and your first name is Theresa?” Mrs. Leslie asked, smiling.
Theresa nodded, “Yes.”
Mrs. Leslie asked again, “Do you have a boyfriend?”
Before Theresa could say anything, Boyce answered for her, “She does.”
Mrs. Leslie pulled a long face immediately. And she wondered in her mind why Theresa didn’t wait for her grandson Armand and why Theresa found a boyfriend so early.
Mrs. Leslie sighed.
Theresa turned her head to look at Boyce.
Boyce smiled as he spread his hands in despair, “Didn’t you and Armand tell us that you were in a relationship?”
Armand was speechless.
Mrs. Leslie’s eyes lit up. Then she thought, “Is Theresa in a relationship with Armand?
Did that mean her grandson had a girlfriend?
Slap!
With a slap, Mrs. Leslie slapped Armand on the back. Then she grumbled as she said with a smile on her face, “Why didn’t you tell me about it?”
Armand inhaled deeply, looked at Theresa silently, and didn’t dare to breathe.
“Oops.” Mrs. Leslie was overjoyed. Then she got up from her seat and walked over to Theresa. She looked left and right. Although Theresa looked less pretty when she was standing with Loredana, as Mrs.
Leslie looked at Theresa, she thought Theresa looked beautiful as well. Besides, Theresa had a heart-
shaped face, big eyes, white skin, and looked very young.
Mrs. Leslie dragged Theresa’s hand and held it in hers, “Why didn’t you tell me you were in a relationship with Armand? Did he bully you? I’m telling you, just tell me if Armand bullies you. I’ll beat him up.”
“It is nothing like that…”
“Grandma, Grandma, don’t scare my girlfriend.” Armand came over and chimed in, “I’m afraid to talk to you about it, for I’m just afraid you’ll get too excited.”
“Armand…”
“Grandma, please sit down.” Armand just wouldn’t let Theresa talk. As soon as she opened her mouth, he deliberately interrupted her.
Theresa was so angry that her face turned red. She thought Armand was such a jerk! And she had made it clear to him before.
“Good, good, good.” Mrs. Leslie looked at Theresa. And the more she looked at Theresa, the more she felt that she was very pleased with Theresa. And she said good three times in a row, so she was very happy and very satisfied with Theresa.
This was deception and kidnapping! And Theresa must not let Armand use her to deceive Mrs. Leslie.
“Armand, come out with me.” She had to talk to him and make it clear.
Armand patted Mrs. Leslie on the shoulder, “I’ll go outside to talk with Theresa for a few minutes, then we’ll come in later.”
“If you guys want to say something, you can say it right here. Why do you have to go outside to talk?”
Mrs. Leslie wanted to talk to Theresa and find out more about her family.
Armand straightened his face, “What’s going on? If we want to have a private conversation, do you still want to hear it too?”
“No, I don’t.” Mrs. Leslie quickly waved her hands off.
Since his grandson had grown up to be an adult and had finally found a girlfriend, she couldn’t let her grandson break up with his girlfriend because of her.
If she had done that, it would not have been worth it.
Theresa passed by Armand and tugged on his coat, “Hurry up.”
Armand comforted Mrs. Leslie, “She’s a bit shy. And she’s a little thin-skinned. I was afraid she’d be embarrassed, so I didn’t tell you she was my girlfriend. I’ll go comfort her.”
“Go ahead.” Mrs. Leslie waved her hand and told him to go comfort his girlfriend. And she totally supported him to do so.
After Armand comforted Mrs. Leslie, he walked out of the room. When he saw Theresa angrily standing in the hallway, he took a deep breath before walking over to her.
Armand thought it over. Instead of being pushed by Mrs. Leslie every day, he should find a woman to marry.
On the one hand, he did not have to listen to Mrs. Leslie nagging him anymore, on the other hand, he was indeed at the age of starting a family. What was more, he didn’t hate Theresa and was quite fond of her.
He felt it was feasible to marry her as his wife.
“Armand, what do you mean? You were the one who said we were in a fake relationship in the first place and announced our breakup after the awkward period. Why didn’t you say so just now?”
Armand took her hand and while Theresa shook it off, “Don’t you dare do that! Go in there right now and tell them we’re done. If that doesn’t work, just tell the truth.”
“I won’t.” Armand acted like a rascal. He made up his mind that he was going to find a way to get Theresa to marry him, “You slept with me, and you have to be responsible for me.”
Theresa was speechless.
“Armand, are you still a man?!” Theresa’s body trembled with anger.
How dare he say that! He was so shameless!
Armand leaned against the wall, “Don’t you know clearly whether I am a man or not?”
Theresa was speechless again.
“Fine, since you won’t say it, I’ll say it myself.” She was not going to let Armand have his way.
However, she had only taken two steps when suddenly her wrist was grabbed by him. Before she had time to react, Armand pulled her arm hard. Then Theresa fell backward into a warm embrace.
“Armand!”
Theresa was outraged. She raised her hand and prepared to slap him across the face, but Armand caught her hand. He clamped her hand behind her back, clasped her head with his other hand, and kissed her hard.
“Umm–“
Theresa’s eyes widened as if her eyeballs were about to pop out. He, he actually …
