“He will like me more and approve of me as his wife just because of the children?” Theresa finished
what Roderick didn’t
say.
Roderick kept silent but looked at Theresa.
Theresa continued, “If he will value me more because of the children, then, what about Cristina? He
doesn’t know the
children are mine now and he thinks Cristina is their mother. However, he doesn’t treat Cristina any
better, does he? Charlie is not the type of person who will change himself because of the kids! You’re
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis friend, and you should know it very well. Besides, if I tell Charlie this, maybe Charlie will think that
everything is a set-up by Cristina and me. For me, there is no need to do this kind of hard but thankless
job. I feel just fine now.”
Roderick looked at Theresa as she finished and then lowered her head to drink a glass of water. He
could tell that she didn’t seem to trust others very much.
Just then the waiter served the food. Roderick said, “Let’s start.”
Theresa heard him, lowered her head, took a bite, and asked for confirmation again, “You won’t tell
Charlie, will you?” Roderick laughed and suddenly asked an unexpected question, “Do you like
Charlie?”
Theresa was stunned at his words, then laughed, “Dr. Hill, why are you asking this kind of question
too? Don’t you think it’s silly? In the world of adults, there is no such thing as liking or disliking, and
there are only interests.”
Roderick said, “So you don’t like him?”
Theresa almost instinctively wanted to deny it. But for some reason, Charlie’s face suddenly came to
her mind when she heard these words. It was strange. She hated Charlie so much and felt that he was
sometimes arrogant and unreasonable. But at this moment, what she recalled was the moment when
he defended her one at a time in front of others, including Jimmy, Rose Nandlall, Jimmy’s mom and
Pat…
She remembered him accompanying her to set off the fireworks. When he thought that Cristina bullied
her, he sent her a ring. to coax her, wanting to cement her place in the Calsis family. And she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmremembered the way he was there to take care of her when she was sick. Even the fact that he kissed
her didn’t seem so annoying now.
Thinking about it carefully, she found that he was quite nice to her. Her numb heart seemed to have a
hint of revival because of this man. Theresa clenched her hands. She found herself, surprisingly,
seemed to like him a little. How could she actually like Charlie? Having already suffered once, would
she have to suffer a second time in this matter of affection?
Roderick watched her not immediately deny it and raised his eyebrows in understanding, saying, “It
seems that you have not thought clearly about this matter, then take your time to think about it. There is
no hurry in thinking about the children. When you have thought clearly, then you can decide whether to
tell Charlie about it.”
Roderick did not sleep well last night because of the matter of children. He was afraid that something
would go wrong and then Charlie would find fault with him again. After all, he had already wronged
Charlie once!
