Hearing this, Eugene sighed helplessly, “Then wait for me to come back.” He was acutely aware that Theresa was
much more important than him in her heart, but he was the one who had failed her at first, and he couldn’t
complain.
Since Eugene promised to visit Theresa, Cristina agreed to stay at his home. After Eugene watched her nod, he left.
Theresa had already finished her meal. She had little appetite after the alcohol, and she took Leonard and Ben
upstairs to take a shower after dinner. Charlie followed her up and she asked, “Did Sarah go to find you today?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlie asked, “What’s up?”
Theresa said, “What did she talk to you?”
“What do you think?” Charlie looked at her with sharp eyes.
Theresa was stunned for a moment, remembering Charlie’s reaction today, and realized Sarah might tell him
something about Leonard and Ben. She really admired Sarah’s talent in breaking people’s marriage. She
answered, “She is good at lying, so don’t believe her words.”
Charlie asked with a suspicious gaze, “Is that so?”
Uncomfortable by his stare, Theresa felt Charlie was unfriendly to her. She sheepishly averted her eyes and went
into Leonard and Ben’s room to bathe the two babies.
Leonard and Ben were only wearing shorts in the restroom, and seeing Theresa standing aside, Leonard said,
“Mom, you’re not going out?”
Theresa said, “Can’t I watch your bathing?”
“I have grown up now.” He now had known what the difference between men and women.
Noticing Ben on the side looking at herself the same way, she said, “OK, I’ll wait for you outside.”
She stood in the doorway and didn’t leave, listening to the two children chatting inside. Ben said, “Leonard, you
think Dad was adopted?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheresa hadn’t expected that they were still concerned about this topic. Leonard said, “I guess so.” Or he wished,
as he didn’t like his father at all. “Daddy is so pathetic.” Ben was concerned.
Theresa remembered his words at dinner and nearly burst into laughter.
Charlie went back to his room, and received a message from Sarah after a shower. [Charlie, what are you doing?]
do
She was using a new cell phone number, but Charlie could recognize her at first glance. He didn’t say anything and
was about to blacklist her when Sarah sent another one, [Do you want to know who Leonard and Ben’s dad is?1
She had thought that she had left suspense and Charlie would surely ask her, but he didn’t even call, and now he
was replying, [Not interested.]
