Chapter 609 Familiar Strangers

However, Theresa didn't look at him, she just supported her chin with one hand indifferently, “I'm not
familiar with him.”

That one sentence made a clear line between their worlds.

Armand felt sad at heart but he could still hold it on the surface as he smiled, “Are we familiar
strangers?”

Theresa also smiled as she asked him back, “Have we ever been familiar? Why can't I remember?”

In comparison to Theresa's indifference, Armand couldn't be as indifferent as her, his lips were tightly
pursed as he pulled the chair and sat down, “If hurting me can make you happy, just hurt me.”

“You're not worth it for me to hurt, you're nothing to me, I won't use any bit of feelings on you, so there's
not even hatred, I just find people like you annoying.”

When saying that, the hand that Theresa put below the table was tightly clenching, her nails nearly
sunk into her palm, only pain could make her keep calm.

Actually, she really wanted to slap him several times.

When Dolores took the milk and went out, she coincidentally saw her little movement... Even if she
stayed calm, her body's little movements were clearly saying that she wasn't as calm as she looked on
the outside.

If she really had no feelings towards Armand, how could she act like that?

What was actually hidden in her heart? If she could really let it go, why should she hurt others and
herself?



She took a deep breath, acting like she didn't see anything, and then she asked when she poured milk
into Armand's glass, “Is Mrs. Leslie okay?”

She found a topic on purpose, trying to relieve the atmosphere.

“She needs to be taken care of.” she couldn't take care of herself anymore, the only change was she
could talk, she couldn't even talk before.

Dolores nodded, “Take good care of her.”

Armand nodded, “I will, she's my only relative, I'll definitely take good care of her.”

Matthew walked in, pulled the main chair and sat down, he then glanced at Armand but he didn't say
anything.

Armand smiled, “Next time I'll call Boyce and won't disturb you anymore.”

Matthew lifted the fresh milk that Dolores poured for him and glanced indifferently at him, by then he
felt that Armand deliberately came there.

Well, Theresa was there, it would be strange if he didn't use all possible means to go there.

Matthew didn't expose him either, he just asked, “Were you drunk yesterday?”

Armand was stunned, he did drink a lot but his mind was still clear, indeed, he deliberately let the waiter
call Matthew's cellphone number.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence... After all, there were so many numbers in his
cellphone, how could the waiter call Matthew?

“Could that be a fake?” Armand wouldn't admit it.



Matthew glanced at him meaningfully, “As long as you know it clearly at heart.”, he had no time to think
about his problem, he stretched his hand out, took the egg on the plate, peeled it, and handed it to
Amanda, “Do you want to study drawing?”

Amanda immediately nodded, “I want to.”

She was really interested in that, seeing that her drawing was the same as the real one, she would feel
very accomplished.

“Today I'll take you to someone who specializes in drawing, will you go?”

“Really?” Amanda didn't dare to believe it.

He even asked if she would go or not, she was simply overwhelmed by his unexpected offer, Matthew
was a very busy man, how could he have time to take her there?

“Of course.” Matthew already called Abbott saying that he wasn't going to the company that day, he
also told him not to contact him if there was nothing extremely important.

He was going to accompany his children that day.

“Whoa, I'm so happy.” she slid down the chair in excitement, ran over and hugged his leg, “You're so
great.”

Matthew rubbed Amanda's head, she was really easy to satisfy, from that onwards he would take more
time to accompany them.

The happiest person that morning was Amanda, because Matthew was going to take her out.

After the breakfast, Armand drove Matthew's car out of the villa.

“Come with us.” Matthew leaned by the door and looked at her.



Dolores helped the kids put on clothes and sunscreen, she then looked up at him, “Just go, I'm a bit
tired, I don't want to go outside.”

If the children went out, she would have the time to have a good talk with Theresa.

The child in her belly was gradually growing bigger, it was normal for her to feel tired, even if Matthew
really wanted her to come with him, but he wouldn't force her since she said she was tired, he didn't
want to tire her out, “Do you want to buy anything? I'll bring it back for you.”

Dolores gave it a thought, “I want to eat watermelon.”

“Anything else?”

“Nope.” she shook her head and explained, “Since you have time, play with the two children more.”

Matthew said yes.

He didn't go with anyone else, he just drove the car with the children, and Dolores sent him out...
Seeing their car leaving, only then Dolores turned around and walked in.

Lucy and Coral was doing chores in the house, the place was too big, there were so many places that
nearly should be wiped everyday, otherwise there would be dusts, it wasn't comfortable to talk in the
living room either, she supported Theresa and went back to the room.

Theresa who just sat on the bed asked, “What do you want to say to me?”

Otherwise, she wouldn't find an excuse to stay at home, that was a rare day where her whole family
could go out together.

“Tell me, what actually happened to you?” Dolores looked at her in seriousness.



Theresa rubbed the blanket, feeling uneasy, “What could happen to me?”

“Speak while you look into my eyes.” Dolores was very serious, “If you're not hiding anything from me,
look at me.”

He didn't want to force Theresa or anything, she was just afraid that she was hiding something in her
heart, suppressing it for a long time wouldn't be good for herself.

Perhaps she could feel better by talking it out.

Theresa didn't dare to see her, she kept saying, “I'm really fine, you're overthinking.”

“I hope that I'm overthinking too, but your behavior made me feel so restless.” Dolores stretched her
hand out to grab hers, “Can't you trust me?”

Theresa lowered her head.

Her eyes were red, she couldn't say anything because she didn't know how to start.

Recalling when she got the news back then, she could still feel the sadness she felt back then... Back
then, she was desperate, she didn't even have the courage to live anymore because her life no longer
had any meaning.

After the most unaccepting and most painful process, she learned how to persist, that was the reason
why she could be so indifferent, restrained, and forbearing when she met Armand again.

She was confident about her behavior in front of Armand but she neglected Dolores.

She slowly looked up, there was pain in the depths of her eyes because she had lost the qualification
of being a woman.

“You know, I was pregnant before.” she spoke in a hoarse voice.



Dolores nodded, “I know.”

“I..” she couldn't force herself saying that it was okay, she still felt sad at heart when she was about to
say that.

Dolores nodded, “I know.”

“l..” she couldn't force herself saying that it was okay, she still felt sad at heart when she was about to
say that.
