Chapter 054 You’re Wanted in Master Calsis’ Room
Cristina had known nothing about Sarah before but that she was Theresa’s younger stepsister.
Theresa was just a middle class girl, whose social status was much lower than the Calsis Family’s.
So was Sarah. How come was she qualified to marry Charlie?
Theresa said, “Yes! Sarah’s gone. Charlie intends to bankrupt the Cameron Family, and I have to do something! So,
please do me a favor and drop it!”
“But he was really nice to you back there,” Cristina said. “I almost believed that you’re a real couple.”
“What exactly did you tell Leticia?” Theresa looked perplexed at Cristina.
Cristina said, “Nothing important. She wanted a paternity test for Charlie and the kids. I said OK, but Charlie’s
gonna
marry me if he’s the father. I mean, to marry you actually!”
“Cristina,” Theresa said. “You promised not to stir up trouble!”
“What trouble did I stir up?” Cristina asked. “All I want is to find someone to take care of you. Who knows you’ve
married
Charlie? I’m here just to see what kind of a man he is. I think he hates me because I said I’d marry him.”
“What he said just now was only for show,” Theresa said. “Even if he finds out that Leonard and Ben are his sons,
won’t marry their mother either. That’s why he mentioned me and treated you as a liar.”

“But he’s nice to you,” Cristina said. “You told me the other day that his legs could be cured. Let’s say, if he really
doesn’t
mind about your past, and if he likes your kids… Aren’t you willing to give it a shot?”
Theresa went blank for a moment. “That’s nonsense! You don’t know him. I’ve divorced once. There’s no chance
he’d
love me.”

“You’ve divorced, so what? That doesn’t make you a loser! Just like he said, you had bad luck and met a bastard.
Anyway,
I don’t think Charlie cares about this. If you love him, go get him! What if he loves you too? You guys click, and your
babies will have a father!”
Theresa solemnly corrected Cristina, “I don’t love him. No more gossip.”
She was really not in the mood for this now.
“You mean it?” Cristina didn’t believe Theresa. As an outsider, Cristina admired Charlie after what had happened
just
now. “Well, since you guys will divorce someday, why don’t I court him? You know, Sarah has dumped him, and I
don’t
think they’ll see each other again. If I make it to marry him, I’ll be Mrs. Calsis! Bravo!”
“Sounds great.” Theresa rolled her eyes.
“You don’t mind?” Cristina asked.
“Why bother?” Theresa said. “It’s not easy for me to start a relationship with someone now. All I want is to take
care of
Leonard and Ben.”
She glanced at the phone clock. “I have to go back, before anyone gets suspicious.”
To the Calsis Family, Theresa and Cristina weren’t familiar with each other. There must be something off if they had
chatted in the bathroom for so long.
Theresa went back to the dining room first.
Charlie almost finished his dinner.
Theresa had a glimpse at him, and sat down. Right now he was elegantly drinking a cup of water.
She remembered what he had said to Cristina….
And what Cristina had told her in the bathroom.
To be honest, Charlie was a good man. He was competent, distinguished, and protective, which made him more
attractive.
But…
Theresa knew that he and she belonged to different worlds.
After his legs were cured, he would still be Master Calsis.
While she would be reduced to that homely woman with a miserable history….
Having drunk up the water, Charlie found that Theresa was a bit down and deep in thought.
He asked, “What? Got trouble?”
Theresa wasn’t expecting that. “No.”
Who dared to cause trouble for her?
Charlie knew that she was lying. He frowned but didn’t push her to explain.
Right at this moment Cristina came back and sat down. When she saw him, a shadow of a smile touched her
mouth, as if
she was provoking him.
Charlie “got it” at once. Miss Lagarde had probably bullied his wife.
He put down the cup, and told Theresa, “Help yourself. I’m done. Get me to my room, Jonathan.”
Jonathan did as he asked.
Theresa went on with her dinner, and Leticia was talking about Leonard and Ben with Cristina. She really liked the
two
kids.
Though Charlie’s words may have pissed Cristina, Leticia was still trying to persuade her.
“Miss Lagarde, would you reconsider my proposition?”
Instead of turning her down, Cristina said, “I need a few days.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat for? Theresa glanced at her friend. Why hadn’t she just said no?
Never mind. In no way would Theresa run the paternity test.
Whether it was a coincidence that the kids looked like Charlie, or they were really the descendants of the Calsis
Family,
Theresa didn’t wanna put a bet.
She couldn’t afford to take any risks!
Leticia said, “OK. Call me when you make up your mind.”
Cristina nodded.
Meanwhile, Jonathan went downstairs. He came to Cristina and said, “Miss Lagarde, you’re wanted in Mr. Calsis’
room.”
Cristina said, “Yeah.”
She got up and told Leticia, “Excuse me.”
And then she went upstairs.
Theresa was wondering what this was about. Her kids?
What if Cristina said something she shouldn’t?
Charlie was waiting for Cristina in the study. She went in and saw him in his wheelchair with moonlight on his back,
as if
he was shining.
Cristina approached him, and frivolously said, “Well, it seems that I do have my charm, Mr. Calsis. Can’t wait to see
me
now?”
Charlie raised his eyes and stared at her, which almost froze the whole room.
Cristina was startled. Somehow, she felt uneasy.
She was always a careless person, but now the way Charlie looked at her scared her.
Why was he so hostile?
Charlie demanded, “What did you tell Theresa?”
