Chapter 162
Mrs. Calsis turned to Theresa and said, “Come out here with me for a minute,”
Theresa stood up and walked outside with her.
Mrs. Calsis asked seriously, “Did you tell him that?”
Although she had just reprimanded Jimmy downstairs, Mrs. Calsis didn’t like to indoctrinate the kid with thoughts of
hatred.
Theresa denied it. “No, I didn’t.”
Leonard hated jimmy simply because Jimmy had hurt him before.
”
“I hope so!” Mrs. Calsis said. “I know that you are on bad terms with Jimmy and that you have a personal
grudge against him, but I hope you know that my grandson is not a tool you can use to get back at someone.”
Theresa looked at Mrs. Calsis and frowned slightly, wondering how she could prove that she hadn’t taught her
boy that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that point, Leonard stepped out. He stood in front of Theresa, looked at Mrs. Calsis, and said, “Stop talking
to her like that!”
Looking at Leonard, Mrs. Calsis was a little stunned, not expecting him to be so protective of Theresa.
Theresa said, “Leonard.”
With him like this, Mrs. Calsis would feel even more like Theresa was teaching him bad things behind her
back!
Mrs. Calsis looked at him with mixed feelings. Leonard looked at her and explained aggrievedly, “I just don’t
like that guy. I hate it when he comes into my room. Am I wrong to do that? It has nothing to do with Tess.”
Because he had been told not to disclose his relationship with Theresa in front of the Calsis family, Leonard
was calling Theresa by her name directly at the moment. That was what Cristina usually called her.
Seeing how concerned Leonard was, Mrs. Calsis let out a sigh of relief and squatted down. “I see. I’m wrong! I
don’t blame her. From now on, no one else is allowed in your room, huh?”
Leonard nodded his head.
Mrs. Calsis took his hand, got in the door, and said, “Let’s go in! By the way, where’s Ben?”
“Ben is with Charlie. Leonard doesn’t want to go over there, so I’m here with him.” Theresa explained.
Mrs. Calsis said, “All right.”
Soon it was time for dinner and they went downstairs. The atmosphere in the dining room was extraordinarily
lively today.
Everyone had their attention on the kids.
Theresa came down with Leonard, and soon after that, Ben came down with Charlie.
Charlie sat at the table and Ben stood next to him, asking, “Dad, can you do it for yourself?”
Charlie said, “Yeah.”
Ben said, “Here you go.”
He took a fork and handed it to Charlie.
Seeing that Charlie could not walk, he was now extra dutiful and took the responsibility of taking care of
Charlie by his side, quite voluntarily.
Mrs. Calsis looked at Charlie and laughed, “It’s good to have a son, isn’t it? He’s so young and he already
knows how to take care of you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRose and Jimmy walked over and sat down at the table.
Rose said, “Ben is so cute.”
Mrs. Calsis said, “What have you two been doing?”
They had been there just now!
But they got away just as dinner was ready!
Rose said, “Well, I called to see if Cristina has time to come over for dinner.”
With that, Rose deliberately looked at Theresa to see how she would react.
Mrs. Calsis felt that it was not good for Rose to talk about Cristina in front of Theresa. “What are you talking
about?”
Rose said, “Leonard and Ben are here. Cristina is their mother after all, so I think I should ask her to come over
and have dinner with us. Aunt Theresa, you wouldn’t mind it, would you?”
Theresa turned up the corners of her mouth without saying anything. Although Rose said that cryptically,
Theresa knew what she meant.
It was a good thing that Theresa had never had that kind of relationship with Cristina that Rose thought she
had, or else… she would be really pissed off.
