Seeing Michael pushing her away , Jennifer crouched down and tried to please him “ Mike , did my words yesterday frighten you ? I’m sorry Please don’t be angry . You and your mom are the only family I have
Teresa rubbed Michael’s hair . “ Hannah has apologized to you . We’re staying in Mareigh , and you’ll definitely see Mr. Lime again , okay ? ”
Michael was still clinging to Teresa as he spoke . “ Aunt Hannah , Mom said she’s you won’t think of leaving ”
Teresa was stunned and exclaimed inwardly , Hey , I never said that . It was your Michael chuckled and looked up at Teresa , blinking “ Morn , you said that , right ? ” Teresa ruffled his hair and sighed . “ You little rascal ‘
g to find a nice husband for you so
Jennifer chuckled and didn’t take it to heart . After lunch with Teresa and Michael , Jennifer returned to the hospital Teresa felt a bit sad and mused , Hannah bought some snacks to please Michael , likely worried he might hold a grudge against her . She’s a little extreme . Maybe because of her childhood experiences , she longs for the warmth and love of a family ”
“ Mommy , Aunt Hannah tapped your head when she left . She never did that before , Michael commented while eating bread “ That’s because we’re family now . People reveal their true selves with those they’re closest to . I often tap your head , too . ” Having that said , Teresa acted on it .
Michael covered his head and rolled his eyes at Teresa .
Since Teresa was free that afternoon , she spent time reading and playing games with Michael . Michael , who liked to count when bored , could now count from one to 200 .
Cheryl had praised Michael in the group chat a few days ago , saying he inherited Jonathan’s intelligence and that becoming the top student in the city would be no problem for him .
Speaking of the group chat , Teresa had created one named “ Muffin’s Friends . ” In the group , she had labeled herself as the group leader , Miriam as the deputy group leader , and Cheryl as a level – one member .
Teresa also added Jennifer to the group chat and explained to Miriam and Cheryl that Jennifer was her biological sister Jennifer had gone missing when Teresa was three , and they were finally reunited now .
Cheryl was the most surprised and sent several ‘ mind – blown ” emojis with the message : [ Gosh , I can’t believe Dr. Nelson is actually Teresa’s sister ! Donald is in love with Dr. Nelson . If we become a family , our relationship will be very complicated . ]
Cheryl : [ Teresa , so both you and your sister will be joining our family ?
Jennifer replied to her with a smirk emoji and the message : [ Rest assured . That definitely won’t happen . ]
Cheryl went on : [ If that’s the case , our families ‘ bonds will be stronger ! ]
Jennifer added : [ Teresa has divorced Jonathan and won’t remarry him . As for Donald and I , we’ll never get into a
relationship . Thus , neither of us will be joining your family . ]
Cheryl felt slightly annoyed as she was only making a joke and didn’t expect Jennifer to be so serious .
Teresa changed the topic . I’m so happy to be reuniting with Jennifer ! To celebrate , I’m sending everyonera shopping card . ]
With that , she emailed three shopping cards , each worth $ 100 , for a total of $ 300 .
Seeing that , Jennifer privately messaged Teresa and criticized her for wasting money like that .
Teresa helplessly replied : [ Hannah , they’re just small gifts and only cost a few hundred dollars . ]
Jennifer was pissed . [ What a spendthrift you are ! I’ve noticed your spending habits long ago . I was not in a position to comment on anything before we were reunited , but now , as your sister , I have to keep you in check .
[ You were spoiled by Philip and Evelyn and never needed to worry about anything before this . However , you’re an adult with a child now . Shouldn’t you think about saving for your child’s future ? |
Teresa bristled . Her strong personality meant she didn’t like being lectured , but Jennifer was her sister , so she didn’t retort
Jennifer asked : [ Why aren’t you talking ?
Teresa returned to her senses and took a deer Successfully unlocked ! wrong . Everything I do is wrong ..
satisfied ?
Are you
Jennifer texted . [ You’re going to wear me out . I’m just worried about your reckless spending . Well, I’m returning that card to your account . Spend your money wisely in the future ]
Jennifer didn’t say anything more , and neither did Teresa .
