Chapter 186
Because of this, Charlie didn’t look delightful when he woke up in the next morning.
At the breakfast table, Rose looked at Charlie, who was very angry, and said, “Uncle Charlie, what’s the matter with
you? I heard that you went to drink last night and then went back ahead of schedule because of Aunt
Theresa?”
Theresa sat aside, looking at Rose, and Theresa could hear the teasing in Rose’s words. Rose seemed to say
that Theresa was nosy.
Theresa raised her eyebrows and said, “He drank outside. I just told him to drink less, is it wrong?” Theresa
didn’t think she had done anything wrong!

domineering! Uncle Charlie is a man. It’s not good for you to meddle in his affairs like this! What’s more, what will
his friends think?” Saying these, Rose glanced at Charlie. After listening to her words, Charlie’s face darkened, and
he seemed to be unhappy about what happened last night. Rose just took this opportunity to
embellish the truth.
Theresa took a peek at Charlie, remembering the unfinished topic of last night, so she didn’t know what to say. She
lowered her head and said, “Charlie is not in good health, so I can’t let him drink. I don’t mind his friends’
thoughts, and I only care about his body.”
“Really?” Rose looked incredulous.
Theresa looked at Rose and felt that Rose crossed the line, She kept giving in, but Rose always pissed her off, and
she got angry all of a sudden, “Are you a Devil’s advocate? You keep asking if it is true. Even if you don’t think it
annoying, I’m about to be annoyed because of it. Anyway, I married Charlie, so I am you aunt. You,
must be polite to me.”
There were a lot of people at the table today like Rose, Leticia and Robert. In front of others, Theresa had always
been very tolerant towards Rose, and didn’t care about her behaviors. But she didn’t sleep well last night and was
so irritable, so she lost her temper. After saying these, she felt that everyone’s eyes were on
her.
Seeing that everyone was looking at Theresa, Rose pursed her lips and said a little aggrievedly, “Aunt Theresa, I just
said something for Uncle Charlie, and I didn’t mean anything. Uncle Charlie? Do you think I am right?
How can a woman control a man? Grandma Leticia usually doesn’t discipline Grandpa Robert!” Charlie sat aside,
and when he heard Rose’s words, he looked at Theresa beside him. He looked at Theresa with

a mixed expression. “I think Rose is right. Women can’t discipline men!”
For the first time, Charlie chose to help Rose instead of herself. Theresa looked at him, feeling sad. Actually,
Theresa knew that Charlie seemed to be angry with her because she had dinner with Roderick yesterday, and
she could explain it…but at this moment, she didn’t know what to say.
Rose was happy because Charlie defended her this time and this was the first time he did so. She raised the
corners of her mouth, looked at Theresa, and played a face towards Theresa.
Charlie put down his chopsticks and said to everyone, “I have something to do today, so I’ll go off first! I don’t
eat, because I’m not very hungry.” After he finished it, he asked Jonathan to push him out and left the dining
hall. Theresa sat, watched Charlie’s back, and clenched her chopsticks.
Rose looked at Theresa and gloated, “Aunt Theresa, you made Uncle Charlie upset! You should believe what I
said is good to you.”
Leticia looked at Theresa and asked “Did you really go and get him back last night?” Theresa was silent. Leticia
added, “I know you care about Charlie’s health, but in front of others, you should save his face, right?”
