Jennifer had already messaged Teresa , explaining that Donald had been in a car accident while trying to save her , conting dangerously close to losing his Me . She decided to give him a chance .
Jennifer seemed to have found her happiness . Teresa’s thoughts were a tangled mess , so she decided to take a walk to clear her head
Fernlandia , with its tranquil atmosphere and sparse population , was home to Evelyn’s charming countryside villa . The single – story house was modest in size , and its windows opened to a picturesque view of a small forest .
The expansive grasslands stretched out endlessly , with only a handful of people scattered about , lying on the grass and soaking up the sun . Teresa enjoyed moments like these , spending the past two days with Michael
Michael struggled to adapt to the new environment . Surrounded by so many foreigners , he couldn’t help but feel out of place , acutely aware of how different he looked
Teresa knelt down and reassured him with a gentle smile . She took him out to explore , teaching him to greet strangers Every moment she spent with him felt like a small step toward making up for the times her work had kept her away
Michael stayed by Teresa’s side throughout , his quiet presence filling her heart with a rare sense of contentment and peace . Evelyn had been talking non stop about starting a business . Teresa wondered what kind of business she wanted to start . Evelyn wanted to dive into e – commerce . Back in the day , she made her first fortune online . She was part of the first wave of people who struck gold . Although it became harder to make money later , the early players had already cashed in .
At the time , she had just divorced Philip . Seeing others succeed , she decided to give it a shot . She seized the opportunity , leveraging her outgoing personality and striking looks . Eventually , she launched her own beauty brand and made a fortune . The Evelyn who once turned heads with her beauty now stood at fifty , her glossy black hair streaked with silver a sent reminder of the years gone by .
“ E – commerce is cutthroat now . Why not focus on Isabel and take it easy ? At the end of the year , Teresouth Group wis distribute dividends , and I’ll make sure you have enough to spend , Teresa said , her tone a mix of concern and practic
“ No way ! ” Evelyn snapped , “ I’ve worked my whole life , and you expect me to just sit around and do nothing now ? No way ! [ m not letting two scumbags ruin my life . I won’t let anyone look down on me
“ Come on , Evelyn . You’re living abroad now . Who’s even paying attention to this stuff anymore ? ” Teresa tried to reason with
her .
“ I’ll go back to Nareigh sooner or later . What about you ? You’re not going back ?” Evelyn asked , her tone sharp .
Teresa’s gaze dropped to her still – flat stomach , a flicker of hesitation crossing her face . “ I’m not going back anytime soon , ” she murmured , almost as if convincing herself .
“ Are you planning to stay in Fernlandia for good ? ” Evelyn had just finished speaking when the sound of a child crying came
from behind
Teresa turned around to see Isabel bawling her eyes out , while Michael stood nearby , his little fists clenched tightly , his

face full of stubbornness , and tears brimming in his eyes .
Evelyn quickly walked over , scooped up the tear streaked Isabel , and began soothing her . Then , the shot & * Michael . “ Mike , why did you make Isabel cry ? ”
“ I didn’t make her cry ! She was the one who messed with my stuff first Michant profastard , his race fat of fusteno
Feeling cornered , Michael turned his head and saw Teresa walking toward him . As if seeing his say he grate throwing himself into her arms and looking up at her with a face full of grievance
“ Mommy , I didn’t bully Isabel . She grabbed my notebook first , and she fore Mr. Line autograph these sossed the words tumbling out between hiccups .
Teresa’s heart ached as she saw his tears . She crouched down , pulling him into a comforting hug Cont be scares sweetheart . Mommy’s here , ” she said softly , her voice full of reassurance .
Michael held out the notebook , now torn . He explained that he had left it on the table for just a moment , and in the brief time , Isabel had grabbed it to play with . The sharp sound of the page tearing still echoed in his mind
Tears dripped from Michael’s eyes onto the name written on the page . “ Mommy , I really loved this notebook I wanted to keep Mr. Lime’s autograph forever , ” he said , his voice trembling with sorrow
Teresa understood how much Michael cherished the notebook . It was his treasure . She gently wiced away his teared said , “ I’ll make sure Isabel apologizes to you . I’ll try to fix it with some glue it might not be perfect , but wel make bette Michael nodded , his small hand clutching Teresa’s tightly , as if afraid to let go
Holding Michael’s hand , Teresa walked over to Isabel and Evelyn . She calmly explained what had happened , making it see that Isabel had been the one to damage Michael’s notebook .
“ Isabel’s just a kid , Mike . She didn’t mean to do it . She just wanted to play with you . Can’t you let it slide this once ? Evely said , her tone almost pleading .
Teresa’s face darkened .
