Teresa said , “ If you’re not ready , then we’re not going . ”
Michael instantly became anxious . “ He invited me ! How can I not go ? He surely thinks . I’m charming and adorable . ”
Teresa pretended to gag . “ Narcissist , ” she teased . She wondered who he got his
narcissism from , but she was certain it wasn’t from her .
The next day , Teresa unblocked Jonathan . She had initially blocked him when she planned to escape from Nareigh with Michael . However , after continuous calls from friends and learning that he had a fever , she returned with Michael .
Thinking about his fever , Teresa texted : [How are you feeling ? ] ”
Jonathan replied with a question mark and typed : [ You took care of me so perfunctorily , yet still managed to run away so early . ]
Teresa replied : [ As your ex – wife , I’ve shown enough kindness by checking on you . What more do you expect ? Ten days or more of care ? I have no such obligation . ] Jonathan texted back : [ You left me a note saying you’ve cooked some pumpkin gruel , but you forgot to turn off the induction cooker . It automatically shut off , the water dried up , and when I checked , everything was burnt . I had to scrub it several times with a steel wool pad . ]
Teresa was stunned and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to turn it off . She usually used the rice cooker and rarely the induction cooker , so sometimes she would forget to switch it off .
She replied : [ Sorry , I totally forgot . Glad you’re okay now . ]
Jonathan didn’t reply . After a few minutes , he sent a message saying he was in a meeting .
Teresa shook her head and thought , ‘ The mighty CEO is having a serious meeting . The employees could probably never imagine their boss scrubbing a pot with a steel wool pad at home . ‘
In the afternoon , Christian called Teresan to inform her that Jonathan asked him to bring Michael to the company later .
Teresa had already prepared Michael’s outfit for the outing – a brown suede jacket , a black turtleneck sweater , the latest kids ‘ jeans , and a pair of white sneakers .
Michael had smooth hair that was easy to style . After washing , a quick blow – dry was enough to perfect the look .
Teresa gently pulled Michael’s ear and whispered , “ Let me remind you of a few things , just between us … ”
While listening , Michael responded eagerly , “ Got it , got it . Understood ! ”

Afterward , she took Michael to Sherry’s place . Then , Christian brought him to the company , which was quite a detour .
After finishing his meeting , Jonathan saw Michael in the office . Michael happily greeted him , “ Mr. Daddy Lime ! ” Jonathan’s heart immediately softened .
Michael usually looked handsome , but he was even more striking that day . Jonathan patted his hair and said , “ You look great today .”
Michael replied proudly , “ Mom dressed me up this way . ”
“ Well , your mom has a good sense of fashion , ” Jonathan praised . It wasn’t flashy or overly colorful . If Jonathan had a child , he would also prefer simple , fashionable , and
neat attire .
“ Mr. Daddy Lime , have you recovered from your cold ? ” Michael asked with concern .
Jonathan snapped back to reality and smiled slightly . He believed it must have been Christian who told Michael about his cold . “ I’m all better now . Thank you for your concern ,” he replied .
After work , Jonathan carried Michael and took the exclusive elevator for the CEO
down .
The front desk staff were very familiar with Michael ; he had been to the company
more than a couple of times .
However , since Jonathan never publicly disclosed the child’s identity , the employees didn’t dare speculate , fearing they might say something wrong and get fired .
Irene had been waiting at the Lynn residence for some time , eager to see where Jonathan had gotten a child from and who could have given him a son .
After the black Maybach stopped at the Lynn residence , Jonathan got out of the car with Michael in his arms . “ We’ll just have a meal and then leave . Don’t be afraid , ” Jonathan reassured Michael .
“ Okay . ” Michael buried his head in Jonathan’s shoulder and reminded himself inwardly , ‘ I must remember Mom’s words from now on . ”
The mansion was bustling . “ Jonathan , your mom said you have a son out there . What ‘ s going on ? ” Hayden emerged , accompanied by Cheryl , who was supporting his arm .
