Teresa raised an eyebrow , looking at him like he was crazy . “ Are you insane ? Do you even know me ? We’ve only met twice . And now you’re prososing ? ”
Sanford smirked . “ I’m serious . Sure , I don’t know you that well , but your sister Jennifer’s been my ride or die for years . We trust each other , choose you to be my vyde ”
But the excuse was just lame to Teresa “ You might not care that I have a kid , but I’m not cool with being Jennifer’s sloppy seconds . Hard |
Teresa turned to leave when Sanford called out loudly , I’m going to go after you . ” This made Teresa’s eyes blaze with angre
Donald’s parents dragged him back to the Lynin residence . “ Donald , have a seat . Your mom and I have questions , ” said Wemer .
Donald frowned at their grave laces . “ What’s going on ? ”
Cathy hesitated , her face pinched like she’d tasted something sour . “ Cheryl called . She hasn’t come back to Harigh because she’s been sick , and her business is bleeding money . Lost 6 thousand dollars . Too ashamed to lace us . ”
Donald frowned , “ How ? She’s running a tutoring business . It’s great .”
“ Not enough students . Rent’s killing her ,” Cathy sighed .
“ Isee . Cheryl never told me . I’ll call her Six thousand was nothing to Donald -he had savings . But guilt gnawed at him . Cheryl was his sister , and he’d been too distracted by Jennifer to notice her struggles . “ Is that why you called me back ? ”
Cathy and Werner shared a tense glance . Werner leaned forward . “ Your mom give you 150 thousand dollars , and I gave you 100 thousand . That’s 250 thousand total , all for you to buy a car .
“ But that Audi A7 you bought didn’t cost that much . Where’s the rest ? Still in your
ir account , or gone ! ”
“ Just say what you mean , Dad .” Donald wasn’t clueless – he could tell this was about money .
Werner continued , “ We saw you and Jennifer at an apartment complex yesterday . Not the wedding apartment . We asked around . You two bought : another place behind our backs , ”
Donald fell silent .
He’d paid the entire down payment for Nowuze Garden , just because Jennifer wanted a home of her own in Nareigh . She wanted to leave it to Teresa
someday .
“ Yes , we bought a place in Newure Garden , Donald admitted
Cathy scoffed , “ Donald , why keep it secret ? it’s a big issue . Houses there aren’t cheap – about 5,000 dollars per square meter . Did you two buy it together ? The deed’s only in Jennifer’s name . If you split , that’s her property before marriage , you know ? ”
Donald frowned , “ Who plans for divorce ? love her didn’t overthink it . ”
Werner cut in . “ Your mom just concerns you so much . How much did you put in ? Did you use all the leftover car money ?
Werner and Cathy didn’t know Donald had blown their money on a down payment and borrowed the car money from Jonathan .
“ Mom , Dad , Jennifer’s family . Why nickel – and – dime ? ”
Neither of his parents said a word , but their faces were anything but happy .
“ This is a big deal . You should’ve talked to us first . If we hadn’t asked you today , would you have ever told us ? ” Werner questioned

Donald sighed . “ Dad . I’m an adult . I can make my own decisions . I don’t need permission . ”
“ Love’s turned you stupid ,” Werner shouted , and then immediately started blaming Jennifer . “ And Jennifer’s not innocent aither – why you burying hei house ? If we’d known it , we would never have let you many her ”
“ I wanted to ,” Donald said , clenching his fists at his sides . “ I’ll pay you back , okay ! ”
Seeing Donald prevent him from blaming Jennifer , Werner jabbed a finger at him . “ On your salary ? Your mom and I broke our backs saving for your wedding . You think money grows on trees ? ”
Donald shot back , “ You forced me into medicine . I wanted to start a business like Jonathan and make real money , but you said I wasn’t cut out for it and T’d fail Irene backed Jonathan – even she took risks , But you ? ”
