Chapter 191
Theresa was stunned. “I’m not.”
“No?” Charlie didn’t believe her, “If I hadn’t pressured you, you wouldn’t have agreed to marry me.”
Met with his sad look, Theresa said, “I’ve never thought that way. You’re a good man. Don’t beat yourself up.
Everyone believes that you’ll be back on your feet again. Trust me and don’t go out to drink again. You’ll recover
sooner or later. As for what Cristina said, she might be in a bad mood. She shouldn’t have said that.
Don’t wrestle with her for the sake of the children.”
“You’re just talking. Deep down, you’re afraid I’ll deduct your salary and work against your family. You’re

Theresa was speechless. She was kind enough to comfort him, and he called her a lair. “I didn’t lie.”
“You like Roderick.” There he came again. He just couldn’t get over it.
“I don’t like him,” Theresa said, looking at him.
Surprised for a moment, he sneered, “Is that so?”
“The person I like is you,” Theresa said.
A flicker of astonishment flashed across his eyes. Theresa didn’t want to reveal her feelings at first. Then she
was distressed to see his sad face. She didn’t want to see a dejected side of the man she liked. He was not that
bad as he thought.
While he was in shock, Theresa came over with her head low and helped him push the wheelchair. “Let’s go
back!”
He was supposed to have acupuncture therapy. That was the main business. The other things were unimportant.
She got Charlie back to the house. Since Charlie was crippled, many uneven areas had been
improved to facilitate his activities.
He remained quiet in the wheelchair. No one knew what was on his mind. Theresa didn’t dare to ask. After getting
him into the house, she went upstairs. Cristina was sitting there having coffee. Leonard and Ben were
by her side.
Rose said in dismay, “Cristina, how could you talk to Charlie like that?”

“Like what?” Cristina said nonchalantly.
She scolded Charlie. So what? He deserved it. She didn’t think she had done anything wrong.
Rose felt helpless. “If you continue to act like this, Charlie won’t like you, and my grandpa will not let you
marry into our family. I’ve been talking in your favor. You should at least think in my shoes and not drag me
down.”
“Why should I care?” Cristina said indifferently, and Rose was devastated.
She felt that she didn’t know Cristina at all. Hadn’t Cristina spared no effort to marry into their family?
Downstairs, Theresa said after the therapy was done, “Take a rest.”
Charlie nodded and hummed in consent. She went out and texted Cristina. The latter soon came over. Theresa
took her to Leonard and Ben’s room before asking, “Why did you scold Charlie like that?”
