Chapter 212
When he went next door, he found Leonard and Ben asleep.
When Mrs. Calsis called his name, he turned his head to look at her and said, “Madame, good evening. Why haven’t
you slept yet?”
Mrs. Calsis asked, “Are you looking for Theresa?”
“Yes,” Jonathan said, “Mr. Calsis has something to tell her.”
“I drove her away!”
Jonathan was a little surprised to hear this, so he asked, “Why?”
Mrs. Calsis said, “I’ll go talk to Charlie.”
Then, she entered Charlie’s room. Seeing his mother come in, Charlie on the sofa was a little surprised and asked,

Mrs. Calsis looked at him and asked, “Are you working late again? Didn’t I tell you to rest more?”
“I didn’t have time during the day today.” He had spent a lot of time on Theresa’s matter, so he had worked until
the night.
Mrs. Calsis said, “Go to bed early.”
“Please go to rest. I’ll wait for Theresa.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Calsis did not go out but stayed. Then, she looked at him and asked, “Charlie, do you like her very
much?”
Charlie was not an emotional person. He was enterprising and did not care about feelings between men and
women. So, Mrs. Calsis thought it was no big deal to drive Theresa away. But she still wanted to hear what he
thought.
Charlie replied, “No!”
He denied it and would not admit that he liked her!
Hearing this, Mrs. Calsis breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you don’t like her. You should not
have married her so hastily. I think Cristina is more suitable for you. And she has taught children well. Maybe you
should try to spend more time with her.”
Although Cristina loved playing games, she did not fool around with men, and she had never been married to
Jimmy.
Hearing this, Charlie rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? You agreed that you won’t
interfere with my emotional life after I took the kids back. Why did you mention Cristina again? Did she tell you
anything?”
“Don’t be so hostile to her.” Mrs. Calsis was afraid he would misunderstand, so she explained, “She didn’t say

Hearing this, Charlie asked, “What happened? Did she make you angry again?”
He suspected something unpleasant had happened to Theresa and his mother while he had been away. But
conflicts were evitable in every family.
Mrs. Calsis said, “Charlie, she’s not a good woman. Since you don’t like her, you should make it clear to her as
soon as possible.”
“I see. You should go to bed now,” Charlie said.
When Mrs. Calsis looked at him, she thought he would listen to her, so she went out.
After Charlie sat on the sofa for a while, Jonathan came in.
Charlie looked at him and asked, “Where is she?”
Jonathan replied, “She went out.”
Charlie rubbed his eyebrows and said, “She must have quarreled with my mother. Since she needs to calm
down, I will her alone tonight.”
