Chapter 394
Jonathan glanced at Teresa and smirked , “ Let’s not talk about my ex wife , or my girlfriend here might get jealous .
Steve looked at Teresa and said , “ Ms. Johnston , I was just kidding . No need to be jealous of someone from the past . Every guy has a few old frames , light . We’ll catch up on business another time , leave you two alone . ”
Teresa’s smile was all for show . As soon as Steve left , she couldn’t hold it in anymore . “ Jonathan , what’s that supposed to mean ? Your ex – wife was blind to divorce you ? ”
Jonathan larity flipped open a magazine and shot her a look . “ Then how was I supposed to explain it I said you were my ex – wife , what kind of reaction do you think he’d have ? ”
Teresa was momentarily speechless , but she insisted , “ You didn’t have to say I was your girlfriend . You could’ve just said I was your sister . He’d believe it , ”
“ One’s last name is Lynn , the other’s Johnston . How would that make you my sister Jonathan said .
“ Cousin , then . ” Teresa huffed and stormed out .
Jonathan was getting ready to leave the hospital . The doctor wanted him to stay for another two days for observation , but he’d only been there a day so
“ I’m fine . I’ve had gastroenteritis before , and that time was way worse ,” Jonathan said . “ Last time , it was because I drank too much and ate some spoiled
ravioli . ”
At that , Teresa jabbed him hard with her elbow . Teresa thought , Seriously , can he ever just stop talking ? ”
The doctor glanced at Teresa while jotting down notes . “ Well , if your husband insists on leaving , you can go ahead and handle his discharge paperwork . ”
Teresa couldn’t be bothered to explain her relationship with Jonathan . There was no need to give people more reason to gossip . “ Doctor , you’re sure he
is really okay ? ”
“ For now , he seems fine . But you need to keep a close eye on your husband . No drinking for a while , especially not on an empty stomach , or he could end up with a stomach bleed , ” said the doctor .
Teresa nodded . “ Got it , thanks , doctor . ”
After getting discharged , Jonathan was in high spirits . He had the driver bring his car over and then drove by himself .
“ I’ll treat you to dinner , Western food , something fancy , or there’s a great plac
near where I’m staying . Want to try it ? ”
Teresa was quiet for a few seconds . “ Let me treat you , ” she said .
She added , “ Honestly , I only got another shot at business with Mr. Frazier because of you . So this meal should be on me . ”
Jonathan stared at her for a few seconds , his gaze unreadable . “ So after this dinner , you’re just going to go your own way again , huh ? ”
“ What else ? I’m just here on a business trip , and scare you , if it weren’t for work , we wouldn’t have even run into each other . ” Teresa
Jonathan opened the car door for her . ”
“ Get in , ” be said .
At the restaurant , Teresa handed Jonathan the menu . He ordered dishes he knew she loved while avoiding anything spicy or seafood for himself . After all , he’d just gotten out of the hospital .
Teresa absentmindedly picked at her food while Jonathan quietly put more on her plate .

“ By the way , what’s Jennifer’s friend’s name ? ” Jonathan asked .
“ You wouldn’t know him even if I told you , ” Terex replied and then shot back , “ So , after you Marigh , didn’t you meet anyone ?
“ My mom tried setting me up with some women who studied overseas , but I didn’t bother meeting them , ” Jonathan said .
“ Maybe you should give it a try , ” Teresa suggested .
She thought , ‘ Don’t they both agree to start over ? Everyone knows the best way to get over someone is to start something new
“ Can’t you even eat without talking ? ” Jonathan clearly didn’t want to keep discussing whether he’d find someone new
Just
then . Teresa’s phone rang . She glanced at the caller ID . It was from Sanford . She said , “ I’m going to the restroom . ”
