Chapter 288
Sarah was not worthy.
“I think he’s dragging you down,” Johnson said. “He agreed to divorce you as soon as Sarah came back. Now what?
Don’t be naive and fooled by him.”
Theresa reasoned, “That’s impossible. It doesn’t make any sense. I’m a divorced woman whereas he is a tycoon.
What can
he cheat out of me?”
“Your promise. He wants you to take care of him for the rest of your life. All men are like this. He is afraid that he
can’t find a wife,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That’s impossible.” Even if there were women like Sarah who looked down on him because of his physical
condition, he would soon recover. By then, countless women would try to approach him. He didn’t have to trick her.
Johnson said, “Still, I can’t rest my mind at ease. The longer you get entangled with him, the greater it will affect
your
reputation.”
“Dad!” Theresa looked at him, “I didn’t come back today to live here. I have to go back. My children are there.”
“Get them back.” Johnson believed that she was a bit impulsive, “You shouldn’t have taken them there in the first
place.”
He wasn’t aware of the cause or the fact that Charlie was their father.
“Would you like to meet Leonard and Ben?” she asked.
Johnson frowned. His reaction made her depressed. “You still think that they’re the result of my love affairs? You’re
prejudiced against them, aren’t you?”
She really hoped that her children could be favored by her father. Now it seemed to be just an extravagant hope.
“Tell me what happened between Jimmy and you first,” said Johnson.
He couldn’t figure it out on his own. It was natural for him to think that she had done something disgraceful.
Just then, there came an uproar from downstairs. “Johnson, come out!”
The shrewish voice… belonged to Rosales Watson. Theresa lifted the curtain and saw Rosales standing downstairs.
Her
daughter, Luna, was with her.
Leah went over and said, “Rosales, what brings you here?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Where is your Johnson? Tell’him to come out,” Rosales demanded.
Her arrogant tone made Theresa frown. Probably, Rosales sounded like this whenever she came to their house.
Theresa had seen it for the first time though. Unlike the shrew, her father was a reasonable person. Presumably, he
had been often scolded by Rosales over the years, although he hadn’t done anything wrong.
He was just trying to make a living and had helped the Watson family a lot when they were poor. After Theresa
divorced Jimmy, they forgot his kindness and scolded him for failing to discipline his daughter.
*Johnson is feeling unwell and taking a rest. What do you want to see him for?” Leah said.
She could vaguely tell that it should be about Theresa and gloated. Theresa was only good at pleasing her father.
She should be taught a lesson by this shrew. Then she would have no nerve to come back again.
Rosales rushed inside and rolled up her sleeves. “He’s not dead yet. Tell him to come out now. Look at the daughter
he has brought up.”
So, Theresa caused trouble again. Leah thought to herself. Theresa was not home when Rosales came previously.
Today, she would see the trouble she had caused to this family.
