“ When I have time , take you to a theme park , and we’ll watch the fireworks together , okay ? ”
Michael huffed , “ Hmph , just take Aunt Isabel . You went to pick her up fast , not me . I called you and you didn’t answer . Do you not love me anymore
Teresa quickly explained , “ Tpicked Isabel up first because Sanford’s place is closer to the airport , it just made sense to go the first and then come to get you . As for your call , I was in Strico and couldn’t answer because of the situation .
“ I’m really sorry , sweetheart . I didn’t mean to miss your call , overslept , and I have had a headache for the past couple of days . It’s not that I don’t love you . I made you upset , and I’ll do better , okay ?
“ Please forgive me this time , will you , my sweetheart ? ”
Teresa kissed Michael on the cheek . Michael let out a huff and grumbled , “ Don’t think I’m always this soft , little boy ! ”
“ It was my fault . From now on , I’ll answer your calls even if I’m asleep . Sorry for making you upset , buddy , Teresa coaxed , and Michael finally cheered
Michael clung to Teresa’s arm . “ Mom , when is Grandma coming back ? is unabel going to stay with us forever ? ”
“ She’ll be back soon . ” Teresa replied

“ I’ll give her a call and ask . Then I’ll let you know , ” Teresa promised .
Only then did Michael nod . “ Mom , can you spend more time with me ? I get so lonely by myself ,”
“ Of course , sweetheart , Teresa said.
Teresa was due for a prenatal checkup , so she reached out to Jenniler .
Jennifer was genuinely surprised . “ Wow , what’s the occasion ? You actually came to me instead of another doctor ? ”
After getting dressed , Teresa handed over her patient 10 card to Jehnder , not mentioning anything about her business trip .
“ No need for that . You’re my sister . Forget the fee , ” Jennifer said .
Teresa shook her head . “ Let’s keep it official . Just put the consultation foo on my card . ”
Jennifer sighed and said to Teresa , “ The baby’s fine , but have you been pushing yourself too hard again? The heartbeat’s a bit irregular ”
Teresa looked a bit guilty . “ Got it . I’ll be more careful from now on ,
“ Why did you tell Sanford that isabel is your daughter ? Did Evelyn really ask you to take care of her ?” Jennifer asked , stopping Teresa as she tried to leave .
Talking about this made Teresa angry . “ You told me to trust your friend and that he wouldn’t betray you . But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t betray me . Did you know he even did a DNA test on Isabel and me ? ”
Jennifer pressed her lips together and said , “ You and tabel don’t look anything alike , ‘ s clear you’re not her real mom . I told him that you had a son . If I’d said it was a girl , normal people like him would definitely start asking questions . ”
“ Yeah ,

time we see each other lately , we end up fighting ? When did we start being like this ? ”
Jennifer let out a long sigh . “ Tve been feeling really down these days . I just wanted someone to talk to . I don’t have any close girlfriends . You’re the only sister I have . I wanted to open up to you , but you just …… .. ”
“ You already have everything . What more could you possibly be unhappy about ? I really don’t want to hear your self – pitying , pointless complaints , ”
Teresa said .
She turned to leave , but a cold voice sounded behind her. “ I’m pregnant . ”
Teresa froze , completely stunned , thinking she must have misheard ,
But Jennifer wasn’t joking . She repeated expressionlessly , “ I’m having Donald’s baby ”
