Chapter 169
Charlie looked at him, but before he said anything, Ben just picked up the cup and poured some water as if he had
received an order.
This little guy was really good at flattering!
Although Theresa was very pleased to see them getting along so well, she also felt jealous.
It felt like someone had stolen her son.
Although it was his responsibility to take care of the boy, from beginning to end, it was Ben who was taking
care of him. No matter what he wanted to take, Ben ran straight over to help him, for fear that he would have at
disability and couldn’t get what he wanted.
After drinking the water, Charlie looked at Theresa and asked, “Have you seen Cristina?”
“Yes.”
“Did she make things difficult for you?”
Theresa replied, “No.”

“Be careful when you go see her. She may try to set you up.
Hearing his words, Theresa felt hilarious. What kind of person did he think Monica was?
“Charlie, you’re thinking too much! Cristina is not that kind of person.”
“Look at you…” said Charlie, “That’s why I said you’re too naive. How could you know what kind of person she
is? She will certainly take advantage of you.”
”
“Why are you so hostile towards Cristina?” Theresa felt confused.
“Nothing,” said Charlie.
His bad impression of Cristina completely came from the first time she came to his house. She talked to
Theresa alone and made her sad.
Theresa said, “Oh, right, Cristina asked me to tell you something.
She didn’t want to say it at first, but since they had been talking about Cristina, Theresa felt that it was
necessary to tell Charlie.
“What did she say?” Charlie asked.
“She told you not to bully Leonard, or she would not let you get away with that.”
Charlie tugged at the corner of his lips and said, “I haven’t blamed her for raising Leonard like that. The next
time you see her, tell her not to bother Leonard anymore. If she hadn’t pampered him too much, he wouldn’t
behave so badly like this.”
“Theresa was in a good mood, but when she heard Charlie talking like that she became upset again. She
turned to Charlie and asked, “Charlie, do you really think Leonard is bad?”
Charlie looked at Theresa and said, “I just think he needs discipline.
“In other words, his mother didn’t teach him well.” Theresa didn’t want to speak to him anymore.
Ben was listening to the two adults who were about to get into a fight, so he hurriedly said, “Leonard is fine.
Dad, I’ll go get Leonard to come up, okay? He’s really good.”
As he spoke, he walked out of the room.
Charlie looked at Ben’s well-behaved appearance, then looked at Theresa and said, “Look, Ben is doing just fine.”
“Yeah, Ben’s a lot better than his dad.” Thinking that Charlie was always targeting Leonard made Theresa mad.

”
“Theresa pulled the corner of her mouth, looked at Charlie, and said, “You can say whatever you like, but
not in front of me. I don’t like to hear it!”
She really couldn’t stand to hear this.
The two waited in the room for a while, but Ben never returned. Theresa turned to Charlie and said, “I’ll go
check what happened.
Theresa walked out the door and found that Ben and Leonard had gone back to the next room. Ben was
concentrating on the things Theresa had brought back for him and didn’t remember what he had just said to his
parents.
Seeing Theresa appear at the door, Leonard said, “Mom.”
Theresa raised the corner of her mouth and said to the boys, “You can play first.”
It was not until he heard Kathya’s voice that Ben remembered what he had promised before that he would get
Leonard to their parents.
“Come on, let’s go see dad!” Ben said to Leonard.
