Chapter 777 Double Standards
After hearing what Theresa had to say, Roderick nodded and help Charlie together with Jonathan, heading upstairs.
When Theresa entered her room, she saw them help Charlie lie on the bed.
Brenda said, “I’m going to make some Prairie Oyster for him.”
Theresa nodded. “Thank you, Brenda.”
Jonathan was taking care of Charlie.
Roderick walked up and looked at Theresa. “I’ve heard you are going to marry Dick. Is that true? Charlie is very sad.
He drank all night.”
Theresa looked at the man on the bed and responded with a smile, “Charlie and I have broken up.
Roderick smiled and said, “I know. I don’t mean to persuade you to get back together with Charlie. I just think… it is
necessary to tell you. Theresa, if you really love Dick, I hope you will be happy. But… I hope. you won’t stand on
Dick’s side and hurt Charlie. You know how much Charlie cares about you. Everything you do could make him
sadder.”
If Roderick had told Charlie earlier about the children, so many things wouldn’t have happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that time, Roderick just respected Theresa and didn’t want to interfere too much in their affairs.
But now…
Roderick couldn’t bear to see Theresa hurt Charlie anymore.
After all, Roderick and Charlie had been good friends for so many years.
Theresa looked at Roderick and found that he spoke with a serious look. She didn’t expect that even he
thought she was dating Dick.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
It didn’t seem to be necessary to explain, after all.
Theresa could only sigh silently inwardly.
After finishing what he wanted to say, Roderick looked at Theresa and said, “I’ll take my leave. Is it okay for Charlie
to stay here with you?”
“Sure!” Theresa said. “Thank you!”
She knew that Roderick and Charlie were close friends. Otherwise, Charlie wouldn’t have told him about such a
thing.
Brenda and Jonathan were taking care of Charlie. Theresa didn’t stay to watch them. Instead, she went to the room
of Leonard and Ben.
The two kids were about to go to bed after taking a shower.
Both of them lying on the bed. Ben sat at the head of the bed, with an iPad in his hand. Theresa asked, “What are
you doing?”
“I’m texting my dad,” answered Ben.
Theresa looked at the little boy and felt a little embarrassed. “Well, he’s drunk. He can’t check your message. Just
go to bed.”
“Is Dad here?” Ben asked curiously.
Theresa nodded. “Yeah, he’s next door.”
“Then I’ll go to see him.” After saying that, Ben turned over and got out of bed.
Theresa didn’t stop him. Instead, she sat next to Leonard and began to tell him stories.
Leonard, who was sitting next to Theresa, looked at her with his eyes wide open. In his opinion, he was old enough
to read by himself and Theresa didn’t have to tell stories. Although the boy was only four years old, he was good at
reading and knew a lot of words.
But he still liked to stay with Theresa like this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Leonard was about to fall asleep while listening to Theresa’s whisper, Ben rushed in and went back to bed.
Seeing that Charlie was sleeping soundly, Ben couldn’t do anything but come back to sleep after showing his
concern.
Theresa asked, “Did you see your dad?”
Ben said, “He’s drunk and needs a rest. I’m going to see him tomorrow morning.”
Leonard said in disgust, “Why do they all like to drink? I hate those people. They stink.”
Hearing Leonard’s words, Theresa coughed. Remembering that she had been drunk before, she said with shame,
“All right. I won’t drink anymore.”
Theresa seldom drank.
But she had been drunk before.
At the thought of it, she felt embarrassed in front of the two kids.
Hearing Theresa’s, Leonard responded softly, “Mom, I’m not referring to you. I’m talking about someone else.”
The boy really had double standards.
Theresa looked at the little boy and said, “Leonard, you’re so lovely. Come on. Let me kiss you.”
Leonard leaned over and raised his face.
Theresa lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek. “Good boy!”
