Chapter 366
Charlie glanced at Theresa with his pair of deep, sharp eyes. ‘Mother is asking me to divorce Theresa?‘ Charlie was
about to say something when he heard Leticia say, “After you two get divorced, I’ll take her as my god–sister.”
Theresa was speechless.
As Charlie heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. ‘Mother is… going to make Theresa my aunt? After all, she
is afraid that I am not nice to Theresa, so she’s here to teach me a lesson!‘ Charlie then said, “Okay, I know what
you mean! I have a business to do now, could you please leave me alone?”
Leticia snorted, “That’s more like it.” After saying this, she stood up and said to Leonard and Ben, “Come on, let’s
go have a rest.”
Theresa was about to follow Leticia out when Leticia took a glance at her, “You stay here and keep a close eye
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton him for me.” And after finishing her words, Leticia directly closed the door of the study before Theresa could say
anything.
Being forcibly locked in the study with Charlie, Theresa only felt extremely embarrassed, but she could do
nothing about it since Leticia had said so. She turned to glance at Charlie who was back on the phone, then she sat
down at the desk, casually took a book beside her hand, and started reading it.
She didn’t pay attention to Charlie even when he finally finished his phone call, flipping through the pages of the
book with her slender fingers, the sound of which could be clearly heard in the quiet study.
Charlie said, “I didn’t expect you to snitch to my mother and ask her for help.”
As her fingers stopped, Theresa looked up at Charlie who was staring at her expressionlessly. She could sense
the implication in his words that he thought it had been her who had asked Leticia to come to him tonight. She then
said, “I didn’t snitch. You did it so blatantly that everyone could see it without being told.”
“Wasn’t that what you wanted?”
The corner of Theresa’s mouth twitched, “What I wanted?”
“You don’t mind who I am with anyway. Besides, you’re so close to Cristina that you can even take advantage of my
feelings to help her, so isn’t it a favor to you that I treat her nicely?”
Theresa was speechless. It turned out that it was because of that remark of hers after all. Theresa stared at
Charlie, feeling angry and uncomfortable. She hated herself for having fallen for him so easily. But should she
explain to him and forgive him despite such an outrageous thing he had done tonight, which had deeply shamed
her in front of the family? Looking at Charlie, she said in despair, “Then you shall be with Cristina! That’s what I
want now.”
Charlie looked at her, “What did you say?”
“Didn’t you say that you will do whatever I want you to do? I want you to be with Cristina now, shouldn’t you be with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher according to you?” She knew very well she couldn’t hold something forever that didn’t belong to her. If she
really fell in love with him, then once something like this happened again in the future, she would go crazy. So
instead, she would like to let go and let him do whatever he wanted, treating him as a stranger, which might make
her feel better!
Charlie said, “Theresa, you are heartless!”
“I’m going back to rest.” Theresa stood up, put the book she hadn’t finished back on the table, and walked out of
his study.
After a shower, Theresa went to check on the two children and found that Leticia had already put them to bed. She
stayed with the two babies for a while before going back to the bedroom and directly went to sleep on the couch,
ignoring Charlie who was taking a shower.
Feeling uncomfortable at night, Theresa woke up from her sleep to find there was another person on the small
couch.
