Jonathan carried Michael ahead , then glanced back with a teasing grin . “ So , when are you going to give me a daughter ? ”
“No way . Go find someone else for that , Teresa shot back , clearly annoyed . Jonathan frowned but stayed silent
After settling Michael down , Jonathan made a quick call . Once he hung up , he turned to Teresa “ We’re leaving tonight Edward’s on his way He’s free this weekend , so he’ll stay here for a couple of days to watch Mike . ”
“ Absolutely not . Edward thinks babysitting means making the kid dance and filming Tik Tok videos , Teresa said , rolling her
“ Let him have his fun . Anyway , Donald’s busy with his birthday today . Otherwise , I would’ve asked him , ” Jonathan replied . ‘ Donald’s birthday ? Teresa blinked in surprise and wondered , ‘ No wonder Jennifer rushed out with her luggage this morning is she planning to stay at the hospital now ? Or maybe throwing Donald a birthday party ? Are things moving that fast between them ? ”
Teresa couldn’t help but wonder if Jennifer and Donald get together , does that mean I won’t have to leave ? ”
Soon , Edward came bounding in , practically bouncing on his feet . After Jonathan gave him a few instructions , Edward grinned , “ So , can I explore the place freely ?”
“ No , Jonathan cut him off coldly . “ You’re only allowed in your room and Mike’s room . Got it ? ”
“ What’s the name of that kid again ? Mike ? ” Edward instinctively glanced at Teresa , who stood calmly behind Jonathan .
“ Mike Johnson , M – I – K – E ,” said Jonathan .
“ Oh , I got it . ” Edward scratched his nose and decided not to ask further
Jonathan headed to the garage to get the car , while Teresa hesitated , trying to back out . She really didn’t want to see a traditional medicine doctor . Even if she got prescribed herbal remedies , she wouldn’t take them . But Jonathan was firm . He had time this weekend , and he might not be free next week . Noticing how much weight she had lost , and since she was staying at his place , he figured it was the perfect time to help her recover
Jonathan drove the car out and stopped it in front of her , opening the passenger door . “ Get in . ”
“ Can’t we just go next week ? It’s not that urgent , is it ? ” she said .
“ TI be busy next week . Your family’s issues have already wom me out . Jennifer sent me one text , and I flew back from overseas to find you ,
“ Then your mom was hospitalized , and I was running around pulling strings Jonathan rubbed his temples , a trace of exhaustion flickering in his eyes . “ Just get in the car ”
Teresa knew he meant well , but she hadn’t taken any contraceptive pills . ‘ It’s been too long anyway . I stopped taking them ages ago , just hoping I wouldn’t get pregnant , she wondered .
Once Teresa got in the car , her eyes landed on the BMW logo and the familiar interior . Memories came flooding back . “ Why are you driving this car ? ”
It was the same black BMW 530 he had driven when they got married . She hadn’t seen this car in ages . Jonathan explained , “ The roads in Chicoham have odd – even plate restrictions , but this car isn’t affected because it doesn’t have a Nareigh license plate . ”
Teresa hadn’t been in this car for a long time . As she fastened her seatbelt , she asked , “ Just the two of us ? ”
“ Who else were you expecting ? A conversation partner ? ” he teased .
“ Didn’t you say Benny recommended the doctor ? Isn’t he coming ? ” she asked
“ He’s swamped .” Jonathan wasn’t sure what Benny was so busy with , but Benny had called him earlier today , asking if he’d be going back to the Lynn residence this weekend .
Jonathan had replied that he wouldn’t , as he was taking Teresa to see the doctor . Benny had cryptically remarked , “ It’s just as well you’re not coming back . ” He didn’t elaborate further ..
The car had already merged onto the main road . This car carried so many memories . Teresa’s mind was flooded with the past , especially when she turned on the music player and heard the familiar melody .
Back then , it was a breezy day . He had driven 1 Successfully unlocked ! ourthouse to get their marriage license . That song had been playing .
He had kissed the back of her hand and said to her , “ Mrs. Lynn , you’ve got me for life now ”
