Chapter 123
Just then, her mobile phone rang. She took and looked at it, finding the word Cristina appeared on the screen.
And Charlie was looking at her phone. Theresa was a little guilty and avoided his sight and answered the phone.
On the phone, Cristina’s voice came over. “Theresa, I heard from my aunt that you have a cold?”
“Yes.”
“Well, take a good rest. I’ve come to pick up Leonard and Ben. I’ll take them to my house for one night.”
Cristina felt very guilty about having sent Leonard and Ben to the Calsis’s Residence for one night yesterday. In the
afternoon, Leticia had called her and asked if she were free. If not, she could help pick up Leonard and Ben. Cristina
had just refused and hurried to pick up them. Fortunately, her leader had thought that she had gone home late last
night, and gave her a vacation in advance to let her go home to rest. Theresa had been just very worried. When

children when she couldn’t get away. Then she heard Cristina’s words. Cristina was really like an angel to her,
always there for her. After the phone call, she
breathed a sigh of relief. She put down her phone and turned back. She was not as anxious as she had just been
when she saw Charlie.
Charlie sat aside and looked at her. “Who is that?”
“My friend.”
“Is your friend called Cristina?”
Theresa froze and said, “It’s none of your business, is it?” Why would he ask that?
“It just reminds me of someone.”
“Who?” She asked, “Cristina Lagarde? There are so many people called Cristina. Can’t my friend be this.
name?” Obviously, she was extremely guilty, but she deliberately put on an air of righteousness.
Charlie saw her getting a little excited, and thought she was jealous of Cristina. He laughed, “Are you a vinegar
bucket? You’re not happy when I just mention this.”
Theresa lay back in bed. “I’m sleepy.” She didn’t want to talk to him. So as not to make him realize her
relationship with Cristina.
Charlie didn’t forget about the kids, “Tell Jonathan where the kindergarten is. I will have him pick them up.” “No.”
Theresa sighed and said, “My friend has gone to pick them up.”
Charlie knew that she cared about the children very much and suggested, “Don’t you want to see the children?
Why don’t you let Jonathan pick them up so that you can see them?”
“No.” Theresa refused.
Charlie said helplessly, “Theresa, are you hiding something from me?” As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on her

What he said shocked Theresa. The alarm sounded in her heart. She looked at him defensively and asked,
“How… How can it be? What do I have to hide from you?
“I just feel like you’re trying to hide something from me. Last night when we came out after dinner, you
answered a phone call. You seemed very anxious. I asked you to handle it, but you didn’t. Now you’re worried about
the children. I ask Jonathan to get them. You are unwilling. Why?”
Theresa didn’t expect that he could even talk about last night. Last night, after eating hot pot, she had heard
that Leonard and Ben had been taken away by Leticia, so she had been nervous. She didn’t think Charlie even
had noticed this. It seemed that she should be careful when she was with him in the future.
Now, seeing Charlie staring at her and waiting for her explanation, Theresa made an excuse, “It was nothing
last night. It was unimportant. As for the children, I don’t want you to pick them up because they have nothing
to do with the Calsises. If Jimmy and Rose see it, they will probably make trouble again. I have no position in
the Calsises, and everyone looks down on me. But in front of the children, I want to at least preserve some
dignity. Isn’t that too much?”
