Chapter 269
Charlie didn’t say anything but directly got into the car. Theresa stood in situ for a while. After he sat down, she also
got in the car.
Jimmy and Rose were at the door now. Rose looked at Theresa who had been by Charlie’s side all the time and said,
“They’re about to get divorced. But Theresa is still pestering Uncle Charlie. Shame on her.”
Jimmy also cast a glance at Theresa and said with a gloating look, “What else can she do other than pestering him?
Do you think she will wait to be driven away?”
He had said long ago that the Calsis family would never accept her! As soon as Sarah had come back, his words
were proved to be right. Looking at Theresa, he did not feel sympathy at all but thought she deserved it! Then, he
opened the car door, let Rose into the car, and accompanied her back home.

Jonathan had gotten into the car behind.
She didn’t take the initiative to talk to Charlie who was rubbing his brows beside her. After a busy day, he had a
headache. Theresa looked at him and asked, “Are you feeling unwell? What about I give you a massage?”
She had nothing to do now anyway, and she thought it would be embarrassing if they kept sitting side by side in
silence. Charlie didn’t reply. So she moved toward him and leaned over. But as soon as she raised her hand, he
grabbed it and opened
his eyes to look at her. Theresa was startled, so she asked, “What’s wrong?”
The driver tactfully raised the partition in the car.
When Theresa looked at Charlie, he was also looking at her. And the distance between them was so close that his
face
almost touched hers. Holding her wrist with one hand, he put his other hand around her waist. In his arms, she
could hear him breathing.
He had said in the private room that he only touched the people he liked. And his words popped into her mind
again.
Now, Charlie looked at her and asked in a very gentle voice, “If I stand up one day, will you like me?”
His tone sounded very humble. Hearing his words, Theresa was a little stunned, wondering why he had asked such
a
question. It sounded like she would not like him if he could not stand up. But she liked him very much now!
No matter whether he could stand up or not, he was still the man who protected her and prevented others from
bullying her.
So, she answered, “No.”

His tone sounded disappointed. And he soon loosened his grip on her waist.
He thought he was too stupid to ask her such a question and wondered since when had he become so humble that
he
needed to beg for love.
Looking at his frustrated look, Theresa felt distressed. And she didn’t want to see him unhappy at all! So, she took
the
initiative to lean over and kiss his lips. She rarely took the initiative to kiss him, and the last time was when he had
gotten drunk…
This kiss dumbfounded Charlie. He widened his eyes to look at the woman who had closed her eyes and found her
eyelashes were trembling with tension….
But she was kissing him, and her lips felt very warm. So, he swallowed hard…
