Chapter 021
Only then did she realize her son had a raised bump on his head. Although the two children didn’t grow
up in superior living conditions and didn’t have the best upbringing, Theresa never let them get hurt,
Jimmy was the jerk who had harmed them. “Jimmy!”Gritting her teeth, she yelled his name. She caught
Jimmy’s cold stare as he sarcastically remarked, “You go back to discipline your son, and look at him;
He is behaving like a little rascal! He won’t have a good future! Luckily he met me today, if he met
anyone else, his hand would be broken!” It was just a bump on the head. He had shown mercy!
Theresa rose to her feet and smacked him across the face, “My son is not a little rascal. Please keep
your mouth shut!” Jimmy had no idea she was going to hit him. “How dare you hit me?” he asked,
looking at her. Theresa slapped him across the face in front of everyone. He, as a man, simply could
not stand it! Theresa ignored his rage because she was concerned about Leonard, so she squatted
down, hugged Leonard, and prepared to leave. Jimmy grabbed her hand and pulled her back, “Would
you like to leave after beating me?” Theresa took a look at the man. His eyes were bloodshot and
ferocious. He was not as gentle and elegant as usual. She twitched the corner of her mouth, “What?
Do you want to fight back? Then you try hitting one instead.” “Don’t hit my mother,” Leonard warned as
he wrapped his arms around Theresa’s neck. Theresa’s heart was softened by Leonard’s words. Even
though he was injured, he still wanted to protect her. Her heart was racing and tears were welling up in
her eyes. Theresa had never cried, no matter what her family had done to her. But the child was
injured, which made her a little unable to bear. The situation was in a stalemate. “Honey,” Suddenly, a
voice came from the side. It happened to be Rose’s. Rose walked over from the crowd and was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsurprised to see everyone there, including Theresa and Jimmy, “What’s wrong with you?” “Rose,”
Hearing Rose’s voice, Rosales immediately restrained herself. She behaved well in front of her
daughter-in-law, as if she was a well-educated and polite woman, and would not let Rose see her
shrewish side. In the past, when they got married, Rosales had kept it from Theresa very well. At that
time, Theresa even thought that she had a good mother-in-law. Later, she realized how crazy her
mother-in-law was! Seeing Rose, Jimmy felt a little guilty, “Why are you here?” “I didn’t see you come
back, so I came to see you. What’s wrong? Dr. Cameron, why are you here?” She looked at Theresa in
confusion and then looked at Jimmy. Jimmy replied, “Nothing. Let’s go to have dinner. I’ll talk to you
later.” He couldn’t let Theresa say anything to her. Theresa looked at the guilty look on Jimmy’s face as
soon as he saw Rose. She found that he was good at pretending! Rose asked, “Dr. Cameron, would
you like to have dinner with me?” Anyway, they had known each other! She wanted to invite Theresa to
join her. Jimmy said, “No need.” He took Rose and left, calling his mother with him.
After returning to the private room, Rose asked, “What happened? I heard so much commotion.” . It
turned out that when she left, nothing seemed to have happened. “Nothing,” Jimmy replied. “How is it
all right?” Rosales said, “Rose, that woman is bullying me, look at niy hand, my hand is going to be
wrenched off by her.” “Did Dr. Cameron do it?” Rose inquired. She was a little taken aback. Theresa did
not appear to be this type of person! But…
Her mother-in-law was normally a very gentle person. “Her son was the one who did it. I’ve never seen
such a menacingly wild child. He’s only a few years old, but he’s already so cruel. He must become a
murderer when he grows up!” Rosales had Rose on her side and simply blamed Theresa. Of course,
she wouldn’t blame herself.
Anyway, she was the right one in her eyes. After all, Theresa had an affair and cheated on her son!
Rose stated, “Some children are, in fact, more disobedient. Mom, how are your hands? Let’s go to the
hospital and take a look.” Rosales said, “I’m fine. It’s just that woman. Her son hit someone, and she
just hit Jimmy. Look, there is a palm print on his face now.” Rose sneered at Jimmy’s handsome face
and saw a palm print. She frowned and asked, “Did Dr. Cameron hit you?” “Nothing,” replied Jimmy
“Nothing, I have to ask her to apologize. Jimmy, you are too softhearted!” “Mom,” Jimmy glanced at his
mother and didn’t want her to say anything more. The more he talked, the more he couldn’t hide his
relationship with Theresa. Rosales glanced at her and said nothing.
They didn’t have much to eat. Rose had to go to Calsis’s house, so they finished the meal in advance.
Jimmy accompanied her out of the restaurant and the two got in the car. In the car, Rose asked, “did
she hit you?” She felt terrible when she saw the slap on his face. Anyway, Jimmy was her husband and
Theresa… Even if her family liked her, she couldn’t take such an outrageous move. “It doesn’t matter,”
replied Jimmy. “I’ll ask her when we get back.” Rose said, “No matter what, you can’t just let people hit
you.” Jimmy looked at Rose’s firm look and didn’t say anything.
Theresa sent the two children home. Leonard was injured. She applied some medicine to him but didn’t
rush to Calsis’s house. Instead, she stayed and accompanied Leonard, “Leonard, does it hurt?”
Leonard was held in Theresa’s arms and said, “No, it doesn’t hurt.” Theresa said, “In the future when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou encounter this kind of thing, don’t rush up there again.” Although he protected her, she didn’t want
to see her child get hurt. Leonard shook his head, “I want to, I want to protect mommy, I can’t let
mommy be bullied by the bad guys.” He had a determined face. Ben was on the side, saying, “Mom,
don’t worry, Leonard and I will grow up, no one will dare to bully you in the future, don’t be sad, okay?”
Theresa listened to the conversation between the two babies, her nose was sore and tears were falling.
But she did not want to cry, afraid that if she cried, the two babies would also follow. She said, “Yes.”
Whenever she felt that life was meaningless, seeing them instantly filled her with strength again.
Theresa turned to Leonard and said, “Don’t go live on video calling tonight, you sleep well, okay?”
“Okay.” She took Leonard back to her room and called Ben over to accompany Leonard for a while.
The phone rang, it was Jonathan’s voice, “Ma’am, you’re not here yet?” Half an hour had passed since
the appointment, “Do you want me to come and pick you up?” “Sorry, I have something to do. Come
over right away.” Theresa hung up the phone and looked at Leonard, Ben was sitting aside, looking at
Theresa’s worried look, and said to Theresa, “Mom, go ahead with your work. I’ll take care of Leonard.”
He always looks so reassuring! Theresa saw the scene and nodded her head. Then she got out of the
house and took a taxi to the Calsis’ house. The car stopped at the side door of Calsis’ house, Theresa
got down from the car and entered the door to find Rose and Jimmy had already come over. Rose
usually lived with his father, but he was always away, busy with work, and she had nothing to do, so
she liked to run over here to Calsis’ house and spend time with Leticia and Grandpa Calsis.
