Chapter 291 Not Willing to Have a Baby


    He smiled and said, “I don’t tell lies.”


    Dolores took a deep breath and said, “I’m so lucky to have you.”


    Mathew kissed her long hair, “Will you be nicer to me?”


    Dolores wiped the corner of her eye and said, “Well, then, I’m going for a shower.”


    She swiftly took her clothes into the shower room in a heartbeat.


    Mathew smiled helplessly as he stood beside the bed, seemed like their romantic night together will be


    pushed back again.


    Simona woke up when Dolores was still in the shower, she hadn’t had dinner yet and was hungry.


    Mathew carried her downstairs to look for Carol.


    “Hey, Simona is awake.” Carol walked towards her to take a look, she had just woken up and her


    cheeks were as red as a ripe apple.


    “She’s hungry.” Mathew said casually.


    “What would Simona like to eat?” Carol asked.


    Simona just woke up, so she was drowsy, the only thing she knew was that she was hungry. “Anything


    yummy will do.”


    “How about some dumplings in broth?”


    “Um” Simona said without realizing it.


    Mathew carried her to wash her face, to freshen her up so she will be more alert, less sleepy.


    The little girl refused to get down, she clung onto Mathew like an octopus, Mathew pampered her and


    kissed her cheek. “Wish your mother was more like you.”


    “Mommy?” Simona looked left and right, “Mommy, where is mommy?”


    “Your mommy went for a shower.” Mathew wiped her face and said, e on, let’s go for some


    dumplings.”


    Carol made some dumplings and an egg, she knew that Simona was greedy when it came to food, so


    she put in some ketchup and big prawns.


    That little girl had a very good sense of smell, she smelled the fragrant aroma of food as soon she


    entered the living room, she almost drooled, she touched her mouth and said, “I can smell all the


    delicious food.”


    Mathew was speechless.


    This nose of hers.


    Simona was well behaved today, she helped herself to the food, Carol put a napkin in front of her, she


    used a spoon all by herself.


    Mathew peeled the shrimps for her beside her.


    “Daddy, give me a bath tonight and cuddle me to sleep.” Simona said as she chewed her food.


    Mathew sighed, his daughter felt wronged in the day and now she wanted to be taken care of. Now if


    Dolores requested this, he would definitely agree to it.


    “Prawn.” Simona opened her mouth for Mathew to put the peeled shrimps inside her mouth.


    On the other side,pared to the ups and downs in the vi, Armand and Theresa were considered


    quiet, since there were not many people in the house, Mrs. Leslie liked Theresa, and they got along


    well. However, because of their shotgun wedding, their room had not been prepared yet.


    Theresa felt that Mrs. Leslie nagged, usually when he wasn’t at home, his room was not particrly


    tidy.


    “Find someone to renovate this ce and buy some furniture.” Mrs.Leslie took Theresa’s hand and


    shoved her card in her hand. “Buy whatever you like.”


    Theresa declined, she can’t take an olddy’s money even though she was not that rich, she had some


    savings in her ount. She said, “I can pay for whatever I would like to buy.”


    “You got married hastily, the new room isn’t ready for you yet, the bridal shower, gifts and ceremony are


    not ready either, I know you don’t want this, but I insist.” Mrs. Leslie was reasonable, “This money is


    from Armand, I am unable to finish spending it myself, so I umted them.”


    Mrs. Leslie leaned towards Theresa’s ear and said, “It’s not a small amount, if you’re not used to living


    with an olddy, you may buy a ce you fancy, move out and live with Armand.”


    “I’m not moving out.” Theresa had no idea why she felt inexplicably sour, she was so old, and she was


    still putting her needs in front of hers, why should she be selfish and leave Mrs. Leslie alone here by


    herself.


    “I feel that we are a family, we should live together.” Theresa answered sincerely.


    “I don’t want to cause trouble for you youngsters…”


    “Not at all.” Theresa answered quickly. “I know you want the best for us.” She turned her head towards


    Armand, who had finished unloading the luggage. “Don’t you agree?”


    “From now on, we will live with grandma.”


    “Oh, sure.” Armand did not mind his mothermenting about his marriage now, additionally, Theresa


    had also distracted Mrs. Leslie and she will not nag at him all the time. Living together will harmonize


    them to be together, “I’m tired from being in the car all day, I am going to retire to my room first, the


    both of you should sleep early too, we will be going to the mall tomorrow.” Mrs. Leslie did not want to


    be a third wheel.


    She yawned and said, “I’m old and I get sleepy easily.”


    “We should go to sleep too”, Armand took Theresa’s hand and headed towards the room, it was a


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    typical men’s room, filled with dark colours, it did not convey any warmness, there was a desk beside


    the window, piled with some books on thew.


    “You may decorate this ce as you please in the future.” Armand told her.


    Theresa nodded, “This colour is too unweing, I feel that it needs some warmth to give this a


    homely feel.”


    “Do you find grandma clingy?” Armand asked.


    Theresa thought about it, the past interactions with Mrs. Leslie had been pleasant, she was


    reasonable; however she had been keeping a close eye on her and Armand. She understood that


    Mrs.Leslie had just one son, it was normal for her to put all her attention on him.


    “You don’t feel that she is annoying right now, you will feel that she is inhibiting your freedomter.”


    Armand hugged her close to his chest.


    Theresa pushed him, “how can you dislike your grandma? Will you believe me if I told on you?”


    Armand leaned towards her, breathing on her face on purpose, “How would you tell on me?”


    Theresa took a step back, “Old people can be needy at times.”


    Armand smiled and said, “You are a good wife.” He knew that she wanted to take care of his grandma.


    He learned forward, more this time, “I have an idea, let’s distract grandma from us.”


    “What, what are you thinking about?” Theresa was speechless, at that time she had already been


    pushed to the side of the bed.


    He leaned towards her ear, “We’ll have a child for her to spend time with, then she will leave us alone.”


    “I… don’t want to…” Theresa did not push him away. Their clothes were scattered all over the floor;


    after some time, Armand said, “I’m serious, let’s make a baby.”


    Theresa was nested in between his arms, she was tired now, with eyes half closed, she said in a soft


    voice, “I don’t want to give birth.”


    As far as she was concerned, now in not the time, she knew that Mrs. Leslie really wanted children. But


    her rtionship with Armand wasn’t stable enough for her to have children yet.


    Armand turned on the nightmp and turned towards her. “Why not?”


    Theresa opened her eyes, she cannot be too direct about the rtionship between the two of them,


    they just got married, their feelings towards each other had not been established yet, so there won’t be


    children in the picture.


    However, since they were already married, it sounded hypocritical not to have any children.


    “I’m still young, so I want to wait to give birth.” She said on purpose.


    Armand touched her face, indeed, she was young, as long as he used a bit of force, a baby wille


    out.


    He turned off the nightmp and said, “Let’s wait then.”


    “Armand, I don’t want this anymore.” Theresa pushed him away.


    “You don’t but I do.”


    “Uh…”


    The room felt enchanted.


    Armand hired a caretaker to take care of Mrs. Leslie at home, by the time Armand and Theresa woke


    up it was almost 10am.


    The two newlyweds tossed and turned all night, they didn’t wake up in the morning.


    Mrs. Leslie knew this situation all too well, and when she saw Armand and Theresa’s rtionship


    blossom, she was relieved and happy.


    “Let’s have some food as soon as possible and go to the furniture shop afterwards.”


    “I need to go to the office today.” Armand has been away from his office for a few days, and he needs


    to go in to check up on everything.


    “Grandma…” Theresa would also like to have a look too.


    Mrs. Leslie waved her hand, “No one is going anywhere today, except to buy furniture with me,


    Theresa is new to the family, therefore we need new furniture, especially for your room, it needs


    rearranging. It’s almost the new year, if we’re not going to tidy the room, we should at least buy some


    furniture first, it should at least look like a new house, you only get married once, Theresa is not picky,


    but we should do it.”


    Armand took a sip of his milk, “I will follow Grandma’s instructions.”


    He gave Theresa a look, indicating that this olddy was so bossy, and she liked to nag.


    Theresa red at him. “Eat your food.”


    Armand smiled and said, “I am obeying you.”


    Armand drove Mrs. Leslie and Theresa to City B’s furniture mall


    Armand got out of the car and opened the door for them. “Theresa.”


    Armand heard a very familiar sound after he opened the door, he looked back and saw Phoebe


    standing behind him.
