Chapter 205
Cristina paused and laughed. “Don’t tell me you are getting jealous?” She sat down and rested her arm on
Theresa’s shoulder.
Theresa snapped, “Hell no!”
“I’m just being so glad for you!” Cristina said. “Just look at Jimmy’s mother. I’m so thrilled to see her fly off the
handle! She was that aggressive in the beginning, and just ended up as timid as a rabbit!”
“So you just have to be formidable enough to break free from the bully.” Theresa exclaimed.
“Touche!” Cristina then felt her dislike for Charlie was abating, “I now begin to wonder if I criticized Charlie. too
harshly this morning?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh you finally realized that!” Theresa was glad that there were moments when Cristina was sane and rational.
“Shall I make an apology to me?” Cristina wondered.
“That’s a good idea.” nodded Theresa.
“Ok, I’ll get it done right now.” Cristina rose to her feet resolutely. She blamed Charlie in the morning only because
she thought he wasn’t treating Theresa well enough. But what he did at supper had got Cristina to change her
opinion of him.
At that moment, Charlie was in his study, and Cristina walked in.
“Get out!” Charlie’s face darkened when he saw the comer clearly. Cristina had become a sore to him now,
especially when he was still nursing the grudge for the words she had flung to him in the morning.
Charlie was about to get someone to drive Cristina out, when she made a bow to him, “I’m sorry.”
“Are you going out of your mind?” Charlie asked suspiciously.
“I got your wronged this morning.” explained Cristina. “Could you forgive me?”
Regarding the woman in front of him, Charlie snorted, “If you are trying to seduce me by doing this trick,
you’ll have to be disappointed. There is only my wife in my eyes. I won’t be interested in any other woman.”
What a narcissist, Cristina sighed quietly, as though every woman was to be after him! But she decided to
forget about such a trivial matter as long as he genuinely loved Theresa. She thus went on before she fled out
of the room swiftly, “I know that well. I just find myself being too mean this morning, but I didn’t mean it.
And I hope it won’t give you any hard feeling. So long. Goodbye.”
What a weird woman! Charlie could only exclaim.
Rosales brought some fruit into Rose’s room. “Get some refreshment, Rose.” she advised.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No. thanks.” Rose looked quite gloomy. “I don’t feel like eating.” Although it was Rosales who made the
apology, Rose still felt Charlie was humiliating her. Rosales was her mother-in-law after all, whom should
have been treated with due respect, and Charlie was being so cruel to her only for the sake of Theresa. “I’m sorry
for that.” sighed Rosales. “I had no idea your uncle is such a role and your grandparents just don’t have any say in
this home.” Indeed, Mrs. Calsis almost kept silent from start to finish and everyone was listening to the command of
Charlie.
Jimmy cut in, “Mom, could you stop infuriating him? Each time you show up, I’ll have a bad luck. Charlie’s
parents no longer take charge of the family issues. He is now the king of the family.” What was more, Mr. and
Mrs. Calsis indulged their son so much that they never rejected any decision Charlie made. Jimmy knew it too
well and he never ventured to confront Charlie.
“Who knows he’s the boss of this home!” Rosales muttered. And she really feared Jimmy would be sent to Afreton.
“May I have a rest now?” Rose finally demanded, as she was really fed up with that mess.
“Sure.” Rosales answered. “And I will stay here to look after you tonight.”
