Chapter 261
Sarah was much cheekier than Daphne had expected that this woman she had been blaming should have the guts
to kick off the conversation. “I’ve just been back.” replied Sarah. “Oh Theresa is my sister. She is not only from a
top university, but had divorced before she married Charlie. You know why? Because she was having an affair and
even two kids with other men…” Sarah was just waiting to see how Daphne was going to continue her compliment
of Theresa.
Daphne’s face darkened, knowing Sarah was deliberately throwing a spanner in the works. And Theresa just felt
Sarah’s sarcasm was like a slap on her face. She could only glare at Sarah, who only took a gleeful delight and

Watching that farce, Roderick had to ask Theresa with concern, “Are you…OK?” He really thought Sarah was being
too mean
to her sister.
“I’m all right.” Theresa allowed herself a wry smile, as she’d got used to such mockery these years especially when
Sarah was still Charlie’s fiancee. Yet Roderick actually knew the whole story well, and Sarah’s false accusation was
utterly humiliation to Theresa, who had factually done nothing wrong.
The performance of the two little boys began soon, and Theresa just engaged herself in taking pictures for them as

Roderick just found it so amazing that Theresa could manage to control her mood so well. He himself would at least

Roderick decided to go with her. Theresa was curious, “Dr. Hill, you don’t go on watching the performance with your
sister?” “It’s a bit boring.” replied Roderick. He actually went out to make sure Theresa hadn’t been hurt by Sarah’s
words, though he couldn’t speak it out.
“Excuse me but I’ll have to look after the kids.” said Theresa.
“May I go with you?” suggested Roderick. “I haven’t had enough chance to meet them yet.” The two kids might

kids more often, should he be less busy.
Theresa had to agree. She decided to ignore the possibility that Charlie would be infuriated if he was to see that,
because
she didn’t betray him at all. And Charlie might just be too busy appreciating his dear Sarah to remember the
business of me, Theresa snorted.
Theresa and Roderick then joined the group of parents who were waiting to pick their kids backstage. The teacher
praised the kids to Theresa, “The twin boys are excellent tonight!” They had acted so naturally even at the part of
their solo. “All thanks to your professional coaching!” said Theresa.
“You are welcome!” the teacher laughed. “Are you leaving with them now?”
