Snare of Love

Her son pulled her arm when the woman stuttered, "Let me tell Mr. Bernie."

Armand looked at him.

"It's because we don't want to litigate and sue them anymore." The person who talked was the woman's son.

"Why?" Armand couldn't understand. 'They were so angry before this, they wanted to seek justice for the deceased even if they were going to lose everything, but they had changed their opinion so sudden?' "There is no reason; we don't want to sue them anymore." He then pulled the woman and left after saying these.

Armand didn't move, he had some guesses in his mind, perhaps they were forced by the power of the Day family. He had taken this case under the pressure from those lawyers in the firm, just because he wanted to help them, but they had withdrawn when he hadn't even withdrawn.

The woman pulled her son when she had walked for a distance, she then came back and bowed toward Armand, "Thank you for taking our case, there are so many people who are worried of getting into troubles, so they are staying away from us as far as possible. We don't want to sue them anymore, not because we don't hate them, but it's because we still have to move on with our lives, or else we can't continue our life."

The tears dropped again when the woman talked. They were just from a normal family; the Day family had married her daughter during that time, just because her daughter looked pretty.

Now, the Day family knew that they wanted to sue them and expose this matter to the public, so the Day family had put pressure on them, causing her son and daughter-in-law to lose their jobs already. "We can't offend the Day family. It's fine let us suffer from injustice, but my grandson is still young, and he still need to study and have a bright future. We can't make those who are still alive suffer for a person who had died, so we don't want to sue them anymore." The woman wiped her tears away and looked up at Armand, "I still want to thank you."

He was willing to help them even if he knew that this was a difficult case. Just for this reason, she was extremely grateful to Armand.

"The reason that my grandson could study at Pearl School was because of the help from the Day family, but now my grandson may be expelled from the school anytime," the woman said resignedly. They could only give in now, her daughter had gone, and she couldn't let her grandson lose his future anymore.

They still wanted to continue their life, they wouldn't be able to continue their life here if they were to vex the Day family.

They didn't wish to make a concession, but this world was based on the survival of the fittest, did justice really exist all the time?

Armand said, "I understand."

"Thank you." The woman thanked Armand again sincerely. Their relatives who were not so close with them, were all staying away from them because they were worried of getting into troubles. During that time when her daughter just married into the Day family, those unfamiliar relatives had also come to them, but now they had disappeared completely.

The fickleness of human nature, there were many people who would stay closer with you when you were glorious. However, there would be little of them who would help you when you were poor. This was the human nature, there was no one to blame.

"Don't mention it, I didn't do anything," Armand said, "Since you have decided in this way, I won't intervene anymore, take care."

"Thank you, Mr. Bernie, I..." The woman's son said but hesitated, "I'm useless."

He had already known that his sister's death was caused by the Day family, but he had to bear the humiliation in order to survive.

Armand understood the contradiction and unwillingness in his mind; they were forced to give up. This was life; there were many moments when nothing could be done.

For example, him. He also had troubles and helplessness.

The woman and her son left, Armand put his arm around Theresa and walked toward the residential area.

Theresa didn't talk all the way. This was life, there were so many things that nothing could be done.

When they had reached home, Theresa closed the door; Armand hugged her once she turned. Theresa put her hands on his chest; she lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing? You're hugging me too tight, I almost can't breathe."

Theresa resisted.

Armand didn't let her go, he lowered his head and put his forehead against her forehead, then he said, "I miss you."

Theresa stared at him, "You meet me every day, why will you miss me?"

Armand smiled, the corners of his mouth curled up giving a nice angle, his eyes were brown, the pretty and coquettish eyes were full of love, "Don't change the subject, you know what I'm talking about." Theresa lowered her eyes gently; she hadn't done that kind of thing with him ever since she made up with him. There was still a barrier in her, she felt that she had lost an organ and she was incomplete, so she had the feeling of inferiority.

"Armand, I..." She looked up, the dark eyes under the long eyelashes were like the peaceful and clean lake water, but there was insensible withdrawal hiding deep inside.

Armand kissed on her nose gently, "I know, you're afraid to face me, but you're still yourself, you have never changed in my heart."

Theresa bit her lips, her clenched fists slowly relaxed. Armand held her hands, the thumbs were stroking on her palms, "Look at me." She looked up.

Armand tilted his head down and kissed her lips, he pinned her against the door and kissed her hardly.

His body was hot and hard, like a volcanic rock.

Theresa was gasping for breath and pushing him, "You're going to suffocate me."

Armand chuckled, "I won't let you die." He carried her in his arms while talking and put her on the sofa, then he bent over her. He looked at her carefully, her looks were completely different from the past except for her eyes, but he knew that she was still Theresa.

He lowered his body and looked into her eyes, he said gently, "We can have a try, if you really can't accept it, I won't force you and let you afraid."‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
