Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 553 He Didn’t Look Like a Buddhist

Armand's expression changed instantly. He asked in disbelief, "You... What did you say? Have you kidnapped Theresa?" Declan looked confused. "Don't you know it?"

Armand clenched his fists tightly. When he was about to punch him, Declan pushed him away. "You all are nuts!"

They all had a violent tendency.

He'd better run away from him as soon as possible.

"Stop!" Armand noticed that Declan was sneaking away. Immediately, he strode to catch up with him. Noticing that, Declan started running. It wasn't because that he wouldn't win against Armand in a fight, just that Armand looked quite abnormal. Declan believed that he would win against a normal man, but not a lunatic.

A lunatic wouldn't treasure his life at all, but he treasured his own life.

"Declan Bailey!"

The faster Armand chased him, the faster Declan ran. He dodged and hid all the way to run out of the entrance of the hospital. After sitting in the car quickly, he shouted, "Go! Go! Go!"

The nightclub employee didn't know why Declan looked so panicked. He obediently started the engine. When Armand caught up, the car hadn't left yet. Declan locked all the car doors. Armand couldn't open the door, so he started smashing the car window angrily. "Declan Bailey, get out!"

Armand was so furious, his chest heaving up and down fiercely. All blue veins on his neck popped out, looking so terrified.

Declan looked at the car window that was shaking and almost broken, swallowing hard. He understood why Armand had become Matthew's friend -- they were both nuts, not normal humans. "Shit! Hurry up!" Declan cursed.

The employee had already started the engine. Hearing Declan's roar, he was shocked and suddenly stepped on the gas. The car roared away like an arrow. Under such a speed, Declan couldn't help but fall back. Fortunately, the car seat was quite soft. He didn't get hurt but looked miserable.

"Fuck! Can you drive or not?" Rubbing the back of his head, he sat up.

The driver wanted to explain, only to replace that Declan was peering out of the back window.

He shut up and concentrated on driving.

Armand didn't go back to replace the doctor. Immediately, he got in his car, heading to replace Matthew. He wanted to ask what exactly had happened. How could Declan kidnap Theresa?

He seemed to understand why Matthew was so eager to come back from White City. No wonder he always felt that Matthew had something hiding from him. Sure enough, his intuition was correct.

Armand drove pretty fast. Arriving at the villa, he had already hopped off right after the car was parked. He strode into the villa. However, the two kids and Dolores, who hadn't slept well last night, were napping. Dolores wasn't sleeping early. She wanted to wait for Matthew to come back. Why lying on the bed, she fell asleep gradually.

Coral was hanging the children's washed clothes on the balcony downstairs.

If he were not reminded by the remained reason, Armand would have rushed upstairs to replace Dolores.

He suppressed and asked, "Coral, could you please ask Dolores to come downstairs? I have something urgent to ask her."

Coral could tell that he was pretty anxious. She reminded him, "She's napping. Why don't you wait for a moment?"

She didn't mean anything. Dolores's baby had become bigger, so she could get sleepy easily. If Coral would go to wake her up, Dolores might not have had a good nap.

"I'm quite anxious!" Armand breathed heavily.

Coral put down the clothes and went upstairs.

Pushing the door open, she walked to the bed and called Dolores gently. The latter was sleeping soundly, so she didn't wake up.

Coral called her a few times again. After she raised her tone, Dolores was woken up. She thought that Matthew had come back. Opening her eyes, she asked, "Has he come back? Who else came back with him?"

She wanted to know if Matthew had rescued Theresa.

Coral was confused. She answered, "Armand came here alone."

"Armand?" Dolores frowned.

"Yes. He's quite anxious. I told him that you are napping, but he asked me to wake you up," answered Coral honestly.

Dolores rubbed her eyes and sat up. She sobered up. Armand was so anxious, so she guessed that probably he had known what happened to Theresa.

She got off the bed and put on slippers. She asked Coral where the children were, and the latter told her that they were napping. Dolores nodded and walked downstairs.

Armand was walking back and forth in the living room uneasily. Seeing that Dolores came downstairs, he immediately walked to her. "Dolores..."

"Let's talk in the study."

Armand tried to remain patient and walked to the study with her.

Once they entered the study, Armand couldn't suppress it any longer. He asked, "What on earth has happened? How could Theresa be kidnapped by Declan Bailey?"

"I'm not certain what has happened exactly either. Don't worry. Matthew and Boyce are trying to rescue her now." They tried to hide it from him because they were afraid that Armand would become anxious and impulsive. He might do something reckless, and then the situation would become worse.

"How could I not be worried? Declan Bailey is a scumbag!" Armand's voice became hoarse. "Why are you all hiding it from me? If something happens to her, what... what should I do?"

Dolores didn't know what to say to calm him down. She checked the time -- it had been a whole morning, but she didn't receive any news from Matthew. She wondered how the negotiation went between Matthew and Declan.

"I'm going to replace Declan Bailey!" Armand couldn't sit and wait without doing anything.

No matter what he would do, he must rescue Theresa from Declan's hands.

Dolores snapped, "Calm down!"

Armand knew that Declan was a scumbag, but how could he release Theresa so easily?

"How could I calm down?" Armand roared angrily. After roaring, he felt that he was too excited. Actually, all of them were anxious.

"I'm sorry..."

"I understand how you are feeling now. Let me call Matthew to check the progress." Dolores called Coral over to get her cell phone. Armand gave her his. "Please use mine."

He didn't call him Matthew earlier because he was afraid that Matthew would still hide it from him. Hence, he came to Dolores directly. Casting him a glance, Dolores took the phone over. Armand had already unlocked the screen. She found Matthew's phone number and dialed it. Right then, Matthew and Boyce had almost arrived at the villa.

Boyce was driving. He turned to take a look at Matthew and said, "It's not your fault actually. Declan was insulting. Normally, you couldn't stand him."

Matthew pressed between his brows with strength. It seemed to be impossible to exchange the conditions with Declan. Since Declan wanted to buy some more time, Matthew knew that he had other plans. He couldn't put all the hope on Declan only. "Have your men tracked John?" he asked.

Boyce answered, "I'll call them to check."

While Matthew was talking to him, he had texted his subordinate. He didn't know if they had been tracking John.

While he was calling, Matthew's phone started ringing as well. He checked the caller ID, which showed Armand. He frowned more deeply and didn't swipe to answer until it was almost cut off. "Hello," he heard Dolores's voice.

Matthew took the phone from his ear and checked the caller ID, feeling weird.

He put it back to his ear. "Why are you using Armand's phone to call me? Did he go to replace you?"

Dolores hummed. "He has known everything. How's going with your negotiation?"

Matthew had promised her that he would definitely take Theresa back, but the relationship between Declan and him had become more stiffened.

While Matthew didn't know how to answer Dolores, Boyce looked at him and said, “They tracked John to Nanshan Temple.”

"Nanshan Temple?"

"Yeah. He didn't look like a Buddhist at all. Why is he going there..."

They exchanged a glance with each other with the same suspicion, wondering if Theresa was kept there.

"What about Nanshan Temple?" Dolores heard Boyce's voice.

"Tell Armand to wait at the gate of the villa," said Matthew.

Dolores said OK.

After hanging up the phone, she returned it to Armand and told him to wait at the gate as Matthew had told her.

Armand took the phone over and walked out.

While arriving at the gate, Boyce happened to drive the car into the villa. He pulled over the car next to Armand and pressed down the window. "Get in."¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
