“He will like me more and approve of me as his wife just because of the children?” Theresa finished what Roderick
didn’t say.
Roderick kept silent but looked at Theresa.
Theresa continued, “If he will value me more because of the children, then, what about Cristina? He doesn’t know
the
children are mine now and he thinks Cristina is their mother. However, he doesn’t treat Cristina any better, does

know it very well. Besides, if I tell Charlie this, maybe Charlie will think that everything is a set-up by Cristina and
me. For me, there is no need to do this kind of hard but thankless job. I feel just fine now.”
Roderick looked at Theresa as she finished and then lowered her head to drink a glass of water. He could tell that
she didn’t seem to trust others very much.
Just then the waiter served the food. Roderick said, “Let’s start.”
Theresa heard him, lowered her head, took a bite, and asked for confirmation again, “You won’t tell Charlie, will
you?” Roderick laughed and suddenly asked an unexpected question, “Do you like Charlie?”
Theresa was stunned at his words, then laughed, “Dr. Hill, why are you asking this kind of question too? Don’t you

Theresa almost instinctively wanted to deny it. But for some reason, Charlie’s face suddenly came to her mind

She remembered him accompanying her to set off the fireworks. When he thought that Cristina bullied her, he sent
her a ring. to coax her, wanting to cement her place in the Calsis family. And she remembered the way he was

revival because of this man. Theresa clenched her hands. She found herself, surprisingly, seemed to like him a
little. How could she actually like Charlie? Having already suffered once, would she have to suffer a second time in
this matter of affection?
Roderick watched her not immediately deny it and raised his eyebrows in understanding, saying, “It seems that you
have not thought clearly about this matter, then take your time to think about it. There is no hurry in thinking about
the children. When you have thought clearly, then you can decide whether to tell Charlie about it.”
Roderick did not sleep well last night because of the matter of children. He was afraid that something would go
wrong and then Charlie would find fault with him again. After all, he had already wronged Charlie once!
