Chapter 444
Cristina said, “I did that on purpose because I want Leonard and Ben to be with their father. Although Charlie is a bit
of a jerk, I meant well.”
“Crisy.” Theresa’s expression suddenly became serious. Cristina let got of her, sat up and said cautiously, “It’s scary
how serious you’re looking at me.”
Theresa smirked. Although what happened with Jimmy hurt her severely, her eyes seemed to be glowing.
“I like him.” Theresa’s eyes were extremely gentle as she said that.
Stunned for an instant, Cristina finally got it. “Charlie Calsis?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes.” Theresa nodded. If not for what happened today, Theresa might not have seriously considered her feelings.
She liked him. She did not want to ignore her emotions anymore. Life is short. If she could spend it with someone
she liked, how amazing would that be?
“He’s a jerk!” Cristina said.
“But I like him,” Theresa said.
Cristina smiled and said, “You know, I’ve not seen that look on you for a very long time.” On the way here, she was
quite worried for Theresa. Now that she saw Theresa finally willing to recognize her feelings for Charlie and face
her heart, Cristina was relieved.
Although Theresa was hurt today, her relationship with Charlie took a giant step forward.
Cristina looked at Theresa blissfully and said, “If you like him, forget that jerk Jimmy and go lead a happy life.”
Jimmy gave Theresa too many scars in her life, even making her not as confident as she was before. Theresa had
always seen herself as a shining diamond, but Jimmy destroyed her and dimmed her light. Sometimes a woman’s
life can really be ruined by marrying the wrong guy.
Gladly, she got past that now!
Next door in the study, it was lively. All the men were including Pat, Eugene, and Roderick. Everyone was glad
Charlie could stand again, so they wanted to chat with him. Having chatted for some time, Roderick looked at the
time, stood up, and said, “It’s getting late, we should get going. I’m sure Mr. Calsis has been waiting for us to
leave.”
Charlie had probably already cussed at them in his head for taking away the time he could spend being alone with
Theresa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPat disagreed and said, “Charlie isn’t like that!”
Charlie was handicapped before, but things were different now.
‘Now that he can stand again, what woman can he not get?’ Pat thought.
There was absolutely no reason for Charlie to be with a divorced woman like Theresa.
Charlie had better options. However, Theresa was to be thanked for Charlie being able to stand again, and she was
hurt today, so Pat was not going to say these things. If he were to tell Charlie to leave Theresa, others. would talk
too.
However, right after Pat said that, Charlie said with a serious tone, “I am!” Pat was speechless.
‘So Charlie is blaming us for disturbing him and Theresa’s alone time?’
Pat looked at his younger brother, sighed and said, “Fine, I’m leaving.’ ‘Whatever!’
Once Charlie returns to a normal person’s life, he would understand.
