Charlie only responded, “You can go back now.”
Theresa could feel the man in front of her was in such a bad mood that he would want the whole word to vanish in
a puff of
smoke. She advised, “Don’t to go back with me? It’s quite late now.”
Referring to his watch, Charlie answered, “I’m not going back home tonight.”
“Nor even to have supper?” asked Theresa. Yet she was only answered with silence. She then went on, “It’s said
Sarah is
back?”
Charlie turned to her instantly, as though being galvanized by the name.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHaving sensed the rejection from his reaction, Theresa decided to go back alone, since he didn’t seem to need her
consolation. She then went out of his office.
Getting out of the company. Theresa went straightly to her own home. Hardly had she entered, came the voice of
Sarah,
“Mom, I’m so hungry!” And Leah’s reply came with more indulgence than resignation, “Can’t you wait for a
minute?!” Leah’s voice then faded into the kitchen.
Sarah was viewing clips on her phone on the sofa when Theresa came in. After a slight pause in surprise, Sarah
resumed her jeering manner at once, “Look, Theresa is back! It’s long since we met. How are you doing?”
Theresa went to the sofa quietly and sat down facing Sarah. She just noticed Sarah had been prettier and slimmer
in the past years. Sarah smoothed her hair while observing Theresa too. Having found out Theresa was only
wearing an ordinary dress, Sarah began mocking, “How does my good sister reduce herself to such a state? Charlie
didn’t buy you any nice clothes
since you are married to him?”
“I thought you’ll spend your whole life exiling outside.” retorted Theresa. “Don’t you know our family nearly went
bankrupt all because of you?”
“But you stood out! Everything is now good as before, isn’t it?” Sarah didn’t feel the slightest shame for herself.
“Should I thank you for that, my dear sister?” Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.
“It was you who got engaged with Charlie.” Theresa stared at her coldly. “And you simply fled when he had that
accident. That’s not decent.”
“What’s the point of being decent? Are you asking me to marry the disable man?” rebutted Sarah. “I’m not you,
who has an affair within marriage, gets divorced and is brining two kids with you. You of course are in bad need of a
man who could support you. In fact, you should thank me for providing such a good opportunity. Just think, how

could marry Charlie!” Theresa just thought Sarah so unreasonable that she was almost amused. How could one be
so despicable! No wonder Charlie would fly into such a rage, and Sarah was also the cause of the miserable state of
Old Mr. Calsis!
At that instant, there came a ring at the doorbell. Leah went to answer it, and was brought up short by the comer.
“Mr. Gay…” she muttered..
Sarah’s face got grim. How come this Jonathan came so quickly! She cursed while looking for a place to hide. She
even doubted it was Rose who leaked out the message. Yet Theresa caught Sarah’s arm to detain her at the
moment.
“What the hell are you doing?” Sarah snapped.
“Don’t you run away this time.” Theresa warned. She wouldn’t let Sarah make it this time.
Charlie appeared on his wheelchair before long, with Jonathan behind him. They just seemed to have
condescended to show up in such a shabby living room, and Jonathan was surprised to see Theresa there.
Charlie’s eyes fixed on Sarah. “You re-appear at last.”
