Chapter 214
Charlie said, “Did you quarrel with my mother? She seemed unhappy last night. When family members live
together, there will always be conflicts. Don’t take it too seriously.”
Theresa lowered her head, looked at the milk glass on the table, and said, “Charlie, I want to quit.”
Charlie raised an eyebrow, looked at her, and asked, “Because of such a trivial matter?”
“Maybe it’s a trivial matter for you.” Theresa said, “Anyway, I will introduce other acupuncturists to you. I don’t
want to go to the Calsis family anymore.”
Charlie did not say anything but lowered his head and started eating. Seeing this, Theresa guessed he had agreed,
so she felt relieved.
After a while, a waiter suddenly came over with a large bouquet, stood beside her, and said, “Ms. Cameron, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbouquet is from a gentleman surnamed Calsis.”
It was a big bunch of roses. It was in the morning now, so the roses looked bright and fresh as if they had just been
picked from a garden.
Theresa was startled to see the bouquet, and Charlie was sitting opposite….
Was it from him?
She took over the flowers, put them aside, and asked, “Did you send the roses to me?”
Charlie nodded, “Yes. You left the house alone, and I guess you are angry. So, I came to accompany you early in the
morning. But you…”
”
He continued with a look of disappointment in his eyes, “But you want to abandon the person who sent you the
flowers. I know I am unimportant in your eyes.”
After finishing speaking, he showed a sad look.
Seeing this, Theresa felt a sting in her heart, so she said, “Charlie.”
He was doing this again. Theresa’s heart was filled with fear, and depression began to well up. She felt like she
had been controlled by him. She liked him, so she hated to see him showing such a look the most. She was
afraid that he would overthink or feel sad, and she did not want him to give up on himself because of his legs.
Charlie looked at her and said, “Go home with me after you cool down. Otherwise, I’ll feel sad.”
When Theresa looked at him, her heart suddenly softened, but she didn’t answer. Instead, she lowered her head
and began to eat quietly, thinking Cristina must have returned home with Leonard and Ben by the time she
and Charlie finished breakfast.
Theresa had made up her mind to take the boys away and then settle down in another place after they came
back. Her father had left a lot of money for her, and she would take him together with them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe could work to make money. So, even if the Cameron family went bankrupt, she could still support her
children and father. After all, there were so many poor people in this world, and they were still living their
lives bravely. But she couldn’t lose Leonard and Ben no matter what.
When the meal was almost over, Theresa went to the lavatory and sent Cristina a message, asking, [Are you
guys back?]
Cristina immediately called her. Before she could speak, Cristina said in an angry voice, “I’m pissed off!” Theresa
asked, “What’s wrong?”
“What is wrong with Charlie? He did not allow me to take the boys out.”
Theresa was a little surprised and asked, “But he is not at home now.”
“Yes!” Cristina said, “But he gave an order to the servants that I am not allowed to take the kids out!”
She was the nominal mother of two children, but Charlie did not allow her to take them away!
This was beyond Theresa’s expectations. She had thought Mrs. Calsis and the others would not stop Cristina
from bringing the kids out. When Theresa had taken the boys out, Charlie had not hindered her at all. So, she
had never expected him to guard against Cristina to such a degree.
