Chapter 213
“If so, I’ll help you take a shower first.” It was getting late. After showering Charlie and helping him go to bed,
Jonathan left the bedroom.
Theresa had already gone to bed in the room next to Cristina’s bedroom.
As soon as she lay down, Charlie sent her a message, asking, [Where are you?]
He thought she should have informed him before leaving. Theresa saw his message but didn’t reply.
After a while, Charlie sent another message, saying, [Come to have breakfast with me tomorrow.]
He knew that she must be in a bad mood now, so he didn’t force her to come back but gave her a night to calm
down. And he would talk with her tomorrow.

a petty person and understood why Mrs. Calsis was so protective of Rose. After all, she was
her grandmother and had seen her grow up. It was normal for Mrs. Calsis to be partial to Rose instead of her. But
she had thought a lot. If she and Charlie had conflicts in the future, Mrs. Calsis’s attitude toward her would
become even worse. And she could do nothing if Mrs. Calsis was determined to drive her away. Moreover,
Leonard and Ben were still in the Calsis family.
It was said that one should marry a person of his or her own class. She and Jimmy were from two families of
equal social rank. But when they had filed for divorce, everything had been very unfavorable to her. The Calsis
family behind Charlie was matchless, so she would be in a more disadvantageous position.
Soon after Theresa read Charlie’s message, Cristina called her and said, “Theresa, my aunt said you were
kicked out?”
Theresa could hear her anger through the phone, so she said, “Yeah, something happened.”
“Where are you? I’m coming to meet you now.” Cristina had been playing a game happily. But when she had
heard Brenda’s words, she had flown into a rage!
Theresa replied, “I’m at your home.”
Cristina said, “I’ll go to accompany you now. They are going too far! I can’t stand it anymore! How can they
treat you like this? It’s Jimmy’s fault! To protect their family member, they want to make you the scapegoat!”
Theresa said, “I’m fine! Calm down.”
“It’s unfair!” Cristina was not convinced, so she said, “I can’t stay here any longer. You left! Why am I staying
here?”

Hearing this, Cristina calmed down and said, “Yes! I almost forgot about them. I can’t leave without them!
What should I do now?”
“They’re sleeping now. Bring them back tomorrow.”
The Calsis family treated Cristina very well. If she wanted to take the boys out, they would not stop her. Cristina
nodded, “Okay. Take care of yourself at home! I’m so upset! Do we look like pushovers?”
Theresa woke up early in the morning and could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. Soon after she sent a
message to Cristina, Jonathan called her and told her to meet Charlie at a restaurant.
Charlie thought she was still living in the previous community, so he was waiting for her in a restaurant near there.
She took a taxi there. After going upstairs, she saw Charlie sitting by the window with a bunch of food on the table.
When she walked over and sat opposite him, he stared at her and asked, “Did you Theresa was confused to hear
his words, so she asked, “Why do you think I cried?”
