Snare of Love
Chapter 842 A Different Future

Oscar didn't dare to look around at all. He didn't dare to look at Theresa with Armand watching. He was afraid that Armand would replace out that he had a thing for Theresa.

It would be a shame to let people know that he fell in love with a young girl at Oscar's age.

"It's no news," Oscar tried his best to come out with an excuse, "Just like how some people didn't like spicy food at first, then they fell in love with it out of a sudden. Preference changes."

In fact, Oscar didn't change his preference. He changed because Theresa told him that he didn't look good in colourful shirts. Oscar didn't dare to let Theresa know that he liked her, but when he learned that Theresa was going to have a divorce, he wanted to change for her. Who knew...

Oscar regretted.

"Should I send you back?" asked Oscar.

"I thought you said we're going to grab a bite?" Theresa was confused.

Oscar was stunned, and then he replied in an embarrassed manner, "I remembered that I have something to attend to. Ask Armand to bring you to eat if you're hungry."

Oscar would be nice to Theresa and take care of her if Armand wasn't here, but now that Armand was here, there were things that Oscar shouldn't do.

Theresa smiled and said, "Armand isn't familiar with the area. You are. Please recommend some nice restaurant to us."

Oscar then gave Theresa some restaurant names and told her, "These restaurants are nice."

"Thanks, uncle," Theresa thanked Oscar.

Oscar remained silent.

Oscar drove away after he dropped Theresa and Armand at their place.

At City B...

In the Nelsons' Mansion...

The whole family moved into the Nelsons' Mansion from the villa. All the empty rooms were taken, and they fitted exactly the numbers of the Nelson family members.

Jayden insisted that he didn't want to stay in the hospital. Old people were always stubborn. The Nelson family had no choice but to ask Jayden's doctor to come to the old manor for Jayden's body check. Matthew didn't go to the office these few days. Dolores didn't ask Matthew about his arrangements. She knew Matthew wasn't in the mood to handle anything at work. Matthew had some other thoughts in mind.

Matthew walked the doctor out of the house after the doctor had completed Jayden's body check. The doctor told Matthew, "He's getting worse. We couldn't even operate on him now, even if he wanted it. We can only stick to the hormone therapy and try our best to extend his time."

Matthew looked worried, "Please, do whatever you can. The old folk is stubborn. He didn't want to go to the hospital at all."

The doctor said, "Do anything as he pleased. What's the point of getting a few months extra if he's not happy at all?"

The doctor had seen so many cases of life and death. He was used to it already. It is a matter of the utmost importance for a patient to feel happy. The doctor can only try his best to extend a patient's time. "Don't worry. I'll do my best," the doctor was used to life and death, but the family of the patient wasn't. They always wanted to stay with their family as long as possible.

It was a norm as a human.

"I'll come again tomorrow," said the doctor. He then got into the car and left the place. Matthew stood by the roadside for a while before he returned to the house.

Dolores was carrying Joshua in the living room. She was trying to lull him to sleep.

Matthew took Joshua away from Dolores and said, "Come with me. I have something to tell you."

Then, Matthew carried Joshua upstairs and went into their room, and Dolores followed. She shut the door and asked, "What is it?"

Matthew sat Dolores down beside the bed.

He told Dolores, "Our son looks like you."

Dolores felt that Matthew was strange today. She didn't say anything. Dolores knew Matthew had something else to tell her.

But Matthew remained silent for a very long time.

Dolores held Matthew's hand, "We're a couple. You can tell me anything you want. There's no need to play riddle between us."

Matthew looked at Dolores, and there was a flash of reluctance in his eyes for a second. Soon, it went away and was nowhere to be seen. "Armand told me that he's going to stay in City C with Theresa."

Dolores clenched her fists. She

figured out what Matthew would probably say. Dolores leaned on Matthew's shoulder and said, "I have something to tell you, but I never got the chance. Theresa...she couldn't

have her own child. If we

send

Joshua to her, she's going to take

good care of him."

Dolores knew Matthew didn't know how to put it in words for her. Looking at the whole situation, it was the best choice to send Joshua to Theresa and Armand, but it was a hard decision. Dolores knew Matthew well enough to read his mind.

"He is a Lennon. Uncle had given me

all his shares in JK, and I planned to transfer all the shares to Joshua. It'd be good if he lives in City C.

Armand and Theresa had been net

through so much. It's a shame that they couldn't have their own child. If they have a child, they'll get to enjoy some blissful family time."

Dolores slowly looked up, "Uncle's still energetic now, but he couldn't help me to take care of the company for long. He'll have to pass it to somebody someday. If we send Joshua to Armand, he's going to take good care of him."

Matthew held Dolores' hand. She spoke out what he wanted to tell her. Dolores was always sensitive. She knew what Matthew was thinking even before he said it out loud.

"We can't close down the textile

factory. It's the family business of the Forbis family. Now, uncle wanted to keep father accompanied. We needed someone there to take care of stuff. It's the best choice for Armand to stay in City C. Plus, we have Amanda and Andrew by our side."

Dolores stared at Matthew and said, "Let's send Joshua to Theresa and Armand."

Matthew lowered his head and looked at Joshua. Joshua was asleep. He looked so much like Dolores.

"They say it's a blessing for a boy to look like his mother. He is blessed to have so many people who love him," Dolores stroked Joshua's face.

Dolores felt reluctant to send Joshua away, but she knew Joshua was meant to have a different future from Amanda and Andrew, starting from the moment when Joshua became a Lennon. Joshua carried so much more on his shoulder.☐☐
