“Don’t you meddle when I’m disciplining my kid!” snapped Charlie.
“Isn’t he my kid too?” retorted Theresa out of reflection. It was she who had given birth to and brought up the
children all by herself, while Charlie didn’t contribute anything even at the current stage, why should he be given
the power to discipline the kids? The only one he cared for was Sarah anyway, Theresa sighed. Theresa now had
determined to take the kids away with her after the divorce, because she would never leave the children in the
Calsis’ Residence as Sarah’s stepsons. Theresa herself had tasted enough what it was like to be the stepdaughter of
Leah, and she believed Sarah could only be a stepmother no better than Leah. Staying with the Calsises only meant
misfortune for the kids.
Their quarrel got Jonathan in despair again. He had to intervene, “Shall I bring Leonard and Ben outside? They
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmight got bored here, and there happens to be some toys outside.”
*Cool!” Ben nodded joyously. His heart had flew outside hearing the word toys. Plus, he didn’t want to see his
parents having a row here.
Jonathan was so grateful that Ben could cooperate to help him out. He thus took the two kids out, leaving Theresa
and Charlie in the private box.
Rubbing her forehead, Theresa began to feel remorseful that she had lost her temper with Charlie in front of the
kids. Some introspection was necessary, she told herself, since she seemed to have been out of control these days.
When the kids were gone, Theresa and Charlie just watched the performance attentively, without speaking a single
word to each other. Now it was the turn of popular singers, among which Theresa even spotted Marlene Christie. As
Marlene walked off the stage after her performance, she just appeared so gorgeous in the resplendent dress.
Theresa had to admit Marlene was very striking, especially when her face was projected on the large screen.
There was a knock at the door of the private box before long. Theresa cast a look at Charlie, who just kept silent.
She thus
sat quietly too.
The door was pushed open from outside to reveal Marlene, who was still wearing the delicate dress as on the stage.
The
flickering white material rendered her even sexier. “Mr. Calsis, they told me you are here. Could you spare me a
few minutes?” she asked at the door.
Charlie gave her a glimpse. “Come in.”
Marlene must have detected Charlie’s whereabouts through some smart way and connection, whatever it was. She
thus walked in and moved her eyes from Charlie to Theresa, “How are you, Theresa!”
“Fine. It’s a long time, isn’t it?” Theresa was glad Marlene could appear at such a moment to ease up the tension.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarlene had actually asked a favor of Theresa before, yet Theresa just found it beyond her. Fortunately Marlene
didn’t have any hard feeling as she knew Charlie was such a principled man that his wife couldn’t change his mind
either. Marlene found the solution in the end with resort to other channels, since she’d been in this trade for so long
after all.
Now Marlene just found a seat for herself aside. “How’s your recovery, Mr. Calsis?” asked she.
“Fine.” Charlie regarded her, “What’s the matter now?”
“I know I’ve made an irretrievable mistake before.” Marlene pleaded, “Could you give my another chance?” Though
the case of the advertisement had been closed, Marlene was still striving to enhance the impression of her to
Charlie for future cases, as she knew he disliked her very much now.
Charlie grumbled, “But your boyfriend…”
“We broke up. And there hasn’t been any affair or gossip about me recently. I do remember what you told me, Mr.
Calsis.” Marlene acted quite obediently.
“So you do.” said Charlie. “I’ll put your case into consideration.”
