Armand bit her lips and said in a low voice, “If you don’t promise to marry me, I won’t let go of you.”
Theresa was so angry that she wanted to cry. He was such a bully.
Unknowingly, tears welled up in her eyes. She said in a hoarse voice, “Well … Armand, you’re too much of a bully.”
Armand let go of her a little, but not completely. He nibbled on her ear, “Can you buy food without paying for it? You slept with me, so you have to be responsible for me. Do you think so?”
Theresa was so angry that she cried. Her tears rolled down in strings.
Armand panicked, hurriedly let go of her hand, and wipe her tears, “I used to like to change girlfriends, but in fact, I only had sex with a few women…”
Theresa cried more fiercely. It was her first time, and of course, she wanted the guy she was having sex with to be a first time too.
As if that was the only way to be fair.
But Armand had slept with so many women.
Armand realized that he had said the wrong thing and slapped himself on the mouth, “Don’t worry, I won’t look for another woman in the future. I just want you, okay?”
Theresa just ignored him and cried.
Armand was sweating with anxiety, “I was wrong. I was wrong. I’m begging you. Just stop crying.”
Theresa glared at him and wiped her tears, “I’ll stop crying as soon as you go talk to everyone.”
Armand was speechless.
“Then you can cry.”
“Armand!” Theresa punched and kicked at Armand.
Armand stood still and let her hit him.
He understood that Theresa was a girl. Not only had she been slept with by him, but now she was being forced to marry him. It was normal for her to have resentment and anger in her heart.
As long as she could stop being angry, then he would let her beat him.
At that moment, a man came down from the ladder and headed this way. Armand grabbed Theresa’s fist and pulled her into his arms. Theresa glared at him. How dare he do that again! She was about to open her mouth to scold him when she heard him say with a smirk, “Everyone is in the room. We’re all waiting for you.”
Cormac glanced at him and nodded indifferently.
Seeing that it was Cormac, Theresa swallowed the words that were coming out of her mouth.
Armand wrapped his arms around her and persuaded her, “Theresa, we are having sex, and we are supposed to get married. Don’t you think so?”
“It’s not like we’re in ancient times …”
“Just because it’s in modern times, we have to set an example,” Armand said righteously.
“But I don’t like you.” Theresa blinked. She thought to herself that this was a good enough reason.
Armand was speechless.
He took a deep breath, “It’s okay. I’ll try to make you like me. Besides, I’m not ugly and old. I have confidence.”
Theresa was speechless.
“What if I never like you?”
“Well-” Armand thought about it, “If after 80 years and you still can’t like me, I’ll set you free.”
Theresa didn’t know what to say.
“Go away, go away.” Armand put his arm around her, “Everyone is waiting for us. You can’t be so willful and make everyone wait for you.”
Theresa was speechless again.
She opened her mouth but found it impossible to refute him.
In the private room.
When Cormac walked in, everyone thought it was Armand and Theresa, and they looked over in unison. Seeing that it was Cormac, Boyce curled his lips, “I was hoping for sun fun.”
It turned out not to be Armand and Theresa.
Cormac pulled back his chair in silence and lifted his daughter into his arms.
He and Loredana sat separated by an empty chair.
Loredana’ hands clenched under the table while she tried to speak several times. This was not the right place for her to explain to Cormac. She sighed and thought that she would explain to him when the meal was over.
“I’m sorry Theresa and I kept you waiting.”
At that moment, Armand came in with his arm around Theresa.
Mrs. Leslie was so happy that her eyes narrowed into a line as she smiled, “It’s almost the end of the year. You guys get the wedding done before it’s too late.”
Armand was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Okay.”
Theresa struggled, “I’m not …”
“Theresa doesn’t want you to worry about my marriage and has already agreed,” Armand interrupted her again.
Theresa was going crazy. He was simply …
Armand leaned closer to her and whispered, “My grandmother is too old to stand the strain. Can you bear to watch her worry about me?”
Yes, his grandmother looked old, but she couldn’t sacrifice herself to fulfill his filial piety.
Armand took her hand and pressed it to his heart, gazed deeply at her, and whispered, “You really don’t feel anything for me?”
Theresa did not dare to look him in the eye. In fact, it was not that she felt nothing for him. She liked mature and steady men, but Armand was so flippant that she felt very insecure.
Therefore, she rejected him.
But it wasn’t that she didn’t feel anything for him at all.
“You don’t dare to look at me, which means that you feel guilty. You actually like me.” Armand leaned close to her ear and said in a volume that only she could hear. When the two of them were whispering, it looked to outsiders like they were in a good relationship.
“All right, all right.” Boyce interrupted them, “If you want to flirt with each other, please go to your room.
I’m going to eat.”
Armand’s hand landed heavily on his shoulder and shook it, “I have you to thank for my marriage.”
If Boyce hadn’t helped him expose his relationship with Theresa in front of Mrs. Leslie, he wouldn’t have known how to introduce Theresa to Mrs. Leslie.
Boyce smiled, “So, you mean I’m the matchmaker?”
“You must come to my wedding …” Armand was in a good mood.
