Chapter 272
After saying what he wanted to say, he stood up and walked out the door.
Looking at his back, Theresa smiled. She had thought Charlie’s father was a fearful person, but after getting along
with him, she found he was quite kind.
When she came out of the side hall, Mrs. Calsis had already gone upstairs, and only Charlie was still in the living
room.
Seeing her come out, he looked at her and said with concern in his eyes, “What did my dad say?”
Theresa looked at him with a serious face.
Seeing this, he asked, “Did he scold you?”
He knew the things between Theresa and Jimmy. Although he believed Theresa had never cheated on Jimmy, his
parents might not think so. So, he was very worried that his family would wrong her. He was also terribly angry with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthimself. She often angered him, but he still worried about her all the time. He had never suffered this kind of
grievance before.
Theresa asked, “Where’s your mother?”
“She said she was going to check on the kids.”
Leonard and Ben were upstairs. Mrs. Calsis cared about her grandchildren so much that she went to check on them
before
going to bed every day.
Theresa nodded, “I see.”
She walked over, looked at him, and said, “Let’s go upstairs to do today’s acupuncture treatment.”
Hearing that she was still concerned about his health, he snorted, “Didn’t you say you would throw me to Shepard?”
He sounded sullen, so Theresa coughed and said, “I said he will come tomorrow.”
It was not polite to ask Shepard to come here so late at night. And they had made an appointment for tomorrow
from the
very beginning.
Charlie said, “You should let him come here right now!”
Seeing him so childish, Theresa said, “Charlie, can you be more mature? Look at the time. I can’t ask him to come
over so late
at night. Do you think that the entire world must revolve around you?”
What a willful man! It was so late now, so Shepard had long gotten off work.
Thinking of this, she sighed, “Don’t think everyone is like me. Ever since I met you, I have never had a leisurely day.
I need to work so late every day as if I were your slave!”
She hoped he could recover as soon as possible so that she could divorce him! She had thought about it carefully
and believed he would give up retaliating against the Cameron family after he recovered even though he could not
forgive Sarah.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing her complaining, Charlie said, “But I paid you money.”
“Yes, you did!” Theresa said, “But you ask me to follow you everywhere every day, so I don’t even have time to
spend the money. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Charlie turned his head aside and snorted, “Many people want to stay with me every day, but they don’t have such
a good
chance!”
“So, do you think I should thank you?” Theresa urged, “Hurry up! I want to give you the acupuncture treatment
right away. I’m so sleepy that I want to go to bed as soon as possible.”
Charlie nodded when he heard her words. Then, they took the elevator upstairs. When Theresa accompanied him
back to the bedroom, she suddenly realized that since she had met him, she had spent less time with the kids.
Before she had known him, the boys used to be the focus of her life. But now, she was worried about him all day
long and even always guarding against him going out to drink!
Then, she said, “I’ll take a shower first. Rest here for a while.”
