Chapter 787 Storks
Chapter 787 Storks
Elizabeth was napping in her bedroom. Usually, when Armand wasn’t in, Dora would take care of her.
Upon hearing Armand’s question, she told him that Elizabeth had invited a fortune teller over and did a
Taoism ritual in the house.
“The master said Theresa must sleep in the bedroom.”
Armand knew how eagerly Elizabeth was to have a great-grandson. Much to his surprise, his
grandmother would be so superstitious.
He walked into the bedroom of him and Theresa. Pushing the door, he saw several dolls of the storks
with incense on the table. The bedroom looked and smelt quite weird.
He could hardly believe his eyes - if Theresa saw this room, he was sure that she would become so
depressed.
Even Armand believed that he was going nuts. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Fortunately, he didn’t take Theresa home. Now he felt so lucky. He entered the room, opened the
cabinet, and found a suitcase. Then he started putting their clothes into the suitcase.
After he finished packing, Elizabeth woke up when he was about to leave. Seeing him pulling the
luggage, she asked, “Where are you going? Where is Theresa? Shouldn’t she come home today?”
“I sent her to City C. She’s busy there...”
“What’s so important than having a baby? It’s not her fault although the cultivation failed this time. The
master said it was because there was something wrong with the geomantic omen in our house. I’ve
invited him to do a Taoism ritual for us. Next time, it’ll definitely work. Hurry. Take her home.”
“Grandma! She’s a human. You can’t treat her as a tool to give birth...”
“What are you talking about? She’s also your wife. Isn’t it natural for your wife to give birth to your
babies?” Elizabeth was anxious. “Hurry! Take her back home.”
“No way. She’s left.”
Elizabeth hit him several times in anger. “Hurry up! Take her back!”
“No way.” Armand was quite determined.
Elizabeth was furious, wondering if he wanted to piss her to death. “Do you want me to die? All right. I’ll
kill myself in your presence.”
Elizabeth turned her wheelchair and was about to hit the wall.
Armand stood motionlessly. He said, “Grandma, you haven’t had a great-grandson yet. If you died, how
would you explain to the late family members in heaven? You’d better not die.”
After speaking, he pulled the luggage and left.
Elizabeth was so pissed off. Grabbing a teacup from the table, she tossed it on Armand’s back.
“What out...” Dora hurriedly reminded him.
Armand looked back at Elizabeth. Tilting, he dodged the teacup, which was smashed onto the wall.
He said to Dora indifferently, “Take good care of my grandmother. If you can delight her, I’ll give you a
bonus.”
“Armand!”
“Grandma, I’m going to City C for a while. After Theresa gets better, we’ll come back.” After finishing
his words, Armand walked out of the house without looking back.
Elizabeth patted the armrests on the wheelchair in anger. “Armand, you want me to die, don’t you?” she
yelled.
No matter how hard Elizabeth yelled or wept, Armand didn’t look back.
He knew that his grandmother would be reluctant to die. She still wanted to have a great-grandson.
The apartment that Armand rent wasn’t big, with only a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a
bathroom. It was good for the two to stay. They didn’t need to prepare for anything as there were all
kinds of stuff in the apartment, so they directly moved in.
The apartment was also close to Armand’s law firm.
When he came back, Theresa was napping on the bed. Since the apartment had one bedroom and
living room, both were quite spacious. The decoration in the bedroom was pretty neat - with light pink
walls, a white big bed, simple-styled lamps, and curtains in warm colors. There was a hanging chair on
the balcony, on which there were a white curry cushion and pink squared pillows. A four-story flower
shelf was opposite the hanging chair with many green plants and fresh succulent plants. There was
also an oval glass jar with algae and colorful stones. In the jar, several fishes could be often seen in the
market, which was swimming happily, looking quite energetic.
All the decoration showed the people staying in the apartment loved life a lot, making Armand feel quite
delighted.
Seeing that Armand was hanging on the clothes in the cabinet, Theresa was worried. “We just
suddenly moved out. Will Grandma be angry?”
Armand didn’t look back at her. He said, “She’s always unhappy. If she gets angry, she was making it
difficult for herself.”
After finishing hanging on the clothes, he put the suitcase onto the cabinet above. Then he walked to
the bed and sat on the edge, “I know you felt quite depressed when staying home, and so did I. I don’t
want to see you suffer...”
Theresa pressed her lips.
Armand reached out and tossed her hair to the back of her ear and whispered, “My dear Theresa...”
Theresa hummed to respond.
Armand continued, “What would you like to eat? I’ll cook for you.”
Actually, he wanted to tell her to think about nothing. All she needed to do was to take good care of
herself.
However, he was afraid that she would overthink after hearing his words, so he swallowed them back.
“Can you cook?”
Theresa didn’t know he had such a skill.
Armand smiled, tucking her into the quilt. “Let’s enjoy every moment being together.”
Theresa looked at him and said yes.
“Have a rest. I’ll call you went the meal is ready.”
Theresa agreed.
Armand stood up, walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door.
Theresa lay down aside. Looking at the strange apartment, she relaxed a lot.
At this time, she was so afraid of facing Elizabeth. If it had succeeded, everything would be fine.
However, it failed.
She wondered what Elizabeth would bitch about.
She guessed that it might be nothing pleasant to hear.
Theresa shook her head, getting rid of the messy mind. Fortunately, they were not at home now. Even
Elizabeth was bitching about her, Theresa wouldn’t hear it. Out of sight, out of mind.
She couldn’t sleep, so she got up, put a coat on her shoulders, and sat on the hanging chair. Reaching
out her fingers, she teased the fishes in the jar.
