She had so little , everything would slip away from her if she loosened her grip even just a bit .
It seemed like the child she had worked so hard to raise for nearly three years would leave her tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow .
Teresa lay in bed , her tears soaking the pillow . She felt lost now , unsure of the right thing to do .
Right now , she wanted to call Evelyn and ask her how to be a good mother .
But she had no one to turn to . Her own mother didn’t even respond to her New Year’s greetings , so how could that woman possibly guide her ? The path ahead was shrouded in mist , with no clear way forward and no chance of turning back .
“ Mommy , I’m sorry . ” A small hand suddenly reached over and awkwardly wiped her
tears .
Teresa did not know when Michael came into her room . She looked up with teary eyes and saw the little boy , who was pouting and had red eyes .
“ I won’t look for Daddy anymore . I also won’t call Mr. Lime ‘ Daddy ‘ . I’ll be good and listen to you . Please don’t cry , ” Michael begged .
“ It’s not your fault , ” Teresa reassured him and stroked his cheek . “ I’m crying because ! thought of some sad things , not because of you . ”
“ Then let me tell you a joke . ” Michael held Teresa’s hand . “ Do you know why the scarecrow won an award ? ” he asked .
Teresa thought about it and shook her head . “ Why ? ”
Michael replied , “ Because he was outstanding in his field ! ”
Teresa caught on to the joke and smiled a little . Michael chuckled , “ You’re smiling ! That means you’re not sad anymore . I don’t want you to cry again . ”
“ Okay , I won’t cry again . I’ll go wash my face , ” Teresa said .
In the bathroom , she washed her face and wiped away her tears .
‘ One step at a time . If there’s no perfect choice , then the best choice is simply the one I make right now , she thought .

Meanwhile , Simona stormed off to complain to Irene , “ A divorced couple went to watch a movie together ! What kind of nonsense is that? ”
Successfully unlocked !
“ Simona , it’s not that I don’t want to help you . I’ve tried to find ways for you two to meet , but Jonathan just doesn’t want to see you ,” Irene replied .
Simona was upset . “ It’s all a misunderstanding! I saw that he was drunk and wanted to

take care of him . I noticed his door was open , so I went in . But I didn’t do anything to
him !
“ Come on, Mrs. Lynn ! Even if something happened , it’s the girl who’d lose out ! And yet he hates me because of this . How’s that fair ? ”
Irene said , “ If he doesn’t appreciate it , there’s nothing I can do . These days , I can’t even say much to him . I’m afraid he’d be annoyed . ”
“ Then go talk to Teresa and ask her to stop bothering Jonathan . What kind of person sticks to their ex – husband like that ? ” Simona kept urging Irene to confront Teresa .
In fact , Irene had gone to see Teresa because she was swayed by Simona .
Irene frowned . “ It’s useless ! The last time I did , she immediately called Jonathan and complained and made it all seem like my fault . If I try again and Jonathan finds out , he might cut ties with me ! ”
Simona was near tears . She crouched in front of Irene , practically begging her . “ Mrs. Lynn , what should I do ? Please advise me ! I truly like him . At least let me see him . He won’t even meet with me now . ”
Irene sighed , “ I know you’re very devoted to Jonathan . Today’s January 3rd , so he’ll be home . Why don’t you come over tonight ? I’ll go out before you do .”
She planned to create a moment and space for the two to talk in private .
A calculating glint flashed in Simona’s eyes . “ Thank you so much , Mrs. Lynn ! ”
After leaving Irene’s house , Simona quickly called her subordinate . “ Get me some medicine , the kind that stimulates men . I need it delivered to me today . ”
