Chapter 111

111. 111
The video was posted from Edward’s own account . Edward and Michael were wearing . sunglasses . The latter danced , wiggling his hips cutely .
‘ This is not the time to comment on how cute Michael is , Teresa thought . But then , she was puzzled . She asked Miriam to watch Michael . ‘ How did he end up with Edward at the university ? ‘ she wondered .
After several tries , Teresa finally reached Miriam on the phone .
Mirjam asked , “ Teresa , were you looking for me ? ”
Teresa took a deep breath . “ Guess who I saw on the phone . Edward was dancing with Michael at the university entrance . I thought I was imagining things . Did he go there by himself ? ”
Miriam was silent for a few seconds , then said , “ Oh dear . Listen . Let me explain-
Teresa uttered , “ Explain now . I’will give you ten seconds . Start now . ”
Miriam quickly explained that she had run into Edward by chance while shopping with Michael . Edward mentioned that during his last trip to Jarisburg , her bracelet ended up in his bag by accident , and he had not had the chance to return it .
Miriam took Edward to his university because he had left his bag there . As for Michael , she explained , “ Do you remember the last time we went to Jarisburg ? You said Mike was my nephew . Now I can only keep pretending . ”
Teresa chuckled . “ I fast – forwarded the video , and Edward has been filming Michael dancing for four days straight . I only asked you to take care of him for five days . ”
She thought , ‘ Did she take him out for four days all the way to Edward’s university ? ”
Miriam felt a pang in her heart . “ Okay , I admit it . I had already given up on him , but when I saw him smile like that – so handsome , so charming – I started falling for him again . ”
Teresa thought , ‘ Oh God . Then what ? What has that got to do with Michael ? ”
Miriam said , “ Every time Edward sees me , he gets nervous and runs away ! With Mike around , Edward isn’t afraid , and he even teaches him to dance . We’ve been having so much fun these few days . ”
Teresa watched another video . Edward loved breakdancing in a hip – hop style . His solo videos did not get many likes , but when he danced with Michael , each one got over 500,000 likes . People in the comments section even mistook them for father and son .
“ Nareigh University , here we come , ” Edward said , making a cross gesture to the
camera .
“ Nareigh University , here we come . ” Michael mimicked Edward .
Then , the music started playing , and with sunglasses on , the two of them began to

dance like they did not care about anyone else .
The more Teresa watched , the more her anger flared up . ‘What kind of relatives does Jonathan have ? Each one is stranger than the last , ‘ she thought .
“ Mommy . Mommy . ” Teresa arrived home to find Michael being nudged towards her by Miriam , using him as a shield .
Taking a deep breath , Teresa said , “ Michael , move . I need to teach Miriam a lesson . ”
Michael clung to Teresa’s leg . “ Mommy, don’t scold Miriam . I wanted to dance with Edward because he said he’d give me money if I helped him gain followers . ”
“ Give him money ? What does that mean ? ‘ Teresa thought .
At this moment , Miriam chimed in , “ Edward gained 200,000 followers in four days , thanks to Mike . He gave him some money and put it in his backpack . ”
Teresa opened Michael’s backpack , and there was indeed a stack of cash inside , totaling 3,000 dollars .
Michael started crying again , hugging Teresa’s leg . “ Mommy , I can earn money by myself now . Please don’t abandon me . ”
