Jonathan raised an eyebrow . “ Maybe I should also check if our divorce certificate is about to expire . ”
Teresa was stunned for a few seconds , then retorted , “ You’re such a weirdo . ” Just then , Jonathan’s phone rang . He had a meeting to attend , and then he hung up .
“ I’ll ask my assistant to come over and show you some easy positions . See if there’s anything you like . Why not just work here ? ” He wanted to resolve Teresa’s situation before going to his meeting .
“ Seriously , that’s not necessary . ” Teresa really didn’t want to work at Jonathan’s company .
“ Well , just go back to Nareigh . I’ll let it slide this time , ” Jonathan finally compromised .
“ Whether I go back or not is my own business , ” Teresa said , knowing he was busy . “ Go to your meeting . ”
Jonathan replied , “ Sure , it’s your choice . But spending money on you is my choice too . Take this card . As for Miriam’s gift , I’ll give it to her when I’m back in Nareigh . If I can’t make it , I’ll have someone else deliver it . ”
“ Come on , don’t make this more difficult than it needs to be .” Teresa grasped Jonathan’s hand , pressed the card into his palm , left it with him , and then turned to leave .
Jonathan caught up with her by the elevator . “ Just think of it as me repaying you for marrying me . Don’t overthink it . Just take it , no need to feel guilty , okay ? ”
Teresa said , “ I told you , you don’t owe me anything anymore . ”
Jonathan said , “ I do owe you . It’s only right . You stood by me while I chased my dreams , so the least I can do is try to make it up to you . ”
“ Please , I was not so good . ”
“ Still , thank you . You could’ve picked someone better , but you chose me . ”
Jonathan placed both hands on Teresa’s shoulders , let out a soft sigh , and gently turned her around . “ I’ll ask the driver to take you home . If you drove here by yourself , be careful on the way . I’ll call you after my meeting . ”
Teresa felt helpless . As she was going downstairs , she attempted to give the bank card to Jonathan’s driver . The driver quickly waved his hands , looking anxious . “ Please , ma’am , don’t put me in a difficult situation . I can’t accept anything from Mr. Lynn .”
Teresa said , “ Just help me give it back to him- ”
“ Sorry , you’ll have to do it on your own . Please don’t make things hard for me , ” the driver said , leaving Teresa with no choice but to go home for now .
Halfway through the meeting , Jonathan wanted to call Teresa . She’d already texted saying she got home safely and told him not to bother . He put down his phone , eyes dark as he looked at his team . “ Carry on . The meeting’s been extended by half an hour . ”
After arriving home , Teresa sent Miriam an email . In the email , she wrote a few lines wishing Miriam a happy birthday , hoping that things would go smoothly between Miriam and Edward , and told her to get in touch if she ever needed anything .
To be honest , this was quite nice . If Miriam and Edward ended up together , Miriam would be related to Jonathan .
She wasn’t sure how things were going between Jennifer and Donald . If the two of them got along well , Jennifer would also become part of Jonathan’s family .
Even though she and Jonathan were already divorced , one was her best friend and the other was her sister – some bonds simply don’t brea
After sending the email , Teresa didn’t receive a reply from Miriam . Usually , Miriam would respond within a couple of hours , or at least by the end of the day . Teresa waited until late at night , but still got nothing .

Teresa thought , ‘ Is Miriam upset with me ? Maybe she is mad that I haven’t come back to celebrate her birthday !
The next day , June 13th , just as Teresa was about to email Miriam again , her phone rang . It was Benny , and he sounded extremely panicked “ Teress , something’s happened . “ .
Teresa asked , “ What is it ? ”
