Irene was about to leave , bringing Winnie along with her .
Winnie looked a little upset . “ Jonathan’s probably just busy . He said he’d ask me out for dinner next time . ”
Irene patted her hand . “ Jonathan takes a while to warm up , so I hope you can be patient with him . And don’t take what Hayden said today to heart
“ I really like you , and I believe you’re truly sincere about Jonathan . I’m sure you’ll be a wonderful partner for him . ”
“ Thank you , Mrs. Lynn . I won’t let you down ,” Winnie replied sweetly .
Winnie was always good at winning people over , unlike Teresa , who was so stubborn and never gave in . Irene felt quite pleased and encouraged her . “ Just keep it up . ”
Cheryl didn’t make it back to pick up Serena until evening , lugging
a
bunch of bags over to Teresa’s place .
“ Teresa , these are leftovers from lunch at the restaurant . Tbarely got to eat , so there’s a ton left . You and Mike can help me finish them , ” she said .
As Teresa helped Cheryl with the bags , she couldn’t help but wonder , ‘ How could there be so much food left ? After all , Jennifer and Donald just got their marriage certificate today . Shouldn’t the family lunch be packed and lively ? ‘
“ Don’t even get me started . Teresa , can you pour me a glass of water first ? Let me catch my breath , and I’ll tell you everything , ” Cheryl sighed .
“ Hang on , I just bought a watermelon . I’ll go slice it up , ” Teresa replied .
Cheryl nodded , took a sip of water , and finally started telling Teresa what happened today .
“ Irene brought home a woman and said she was Jonathan’s girlfriend . And Jonathan didn’t deny it , ” Cheryl said .
Teresa’s hand froze mid – slice , the knife almost slipping . “ Seriously ? He’s got a girlfriend now ? ”
“ I even took some photos . But she wasn’t as pretty as you . Grandpa didn’t like her and lost his appetite . I was the only one left eating , and I couldn’t finish it , so that’s why there’s so much left over , ” Cheryl explained .
Teresa brought over the watermelon . “ You should’ve called me earlier ! I could’ve brought Mike to eat with you , and you wouldn’t have had to pack up all this food , ” she teased .
“ Oh , come on , don’t be so polite with me . Here , take a look , ” Cheryl said , pulling up the photo she’d snapped and showing it to Teresa . As soon as Teresa saw Winnie’s face , she recognized her immediately .
She spaced out for a second . ‘ Oh , it’s her ,’ Teresa thought .
“ I know her , ” Teresa said . “ She’s with Chase Group , right ? Last name’s Shelton ? ”
“ Yeah , I think her name’s Winnie Shelton . Irene is obsessed with her – keeps saying she’s the perfect wife and mom , raves about her cooking , and always mentions how gentle she is . ” Cheryl chimed in .
Teresa remembered what Irene had told her . She would definitely find Jonathan a perfect wife .
Teresa said , “ It’s good . Jonathan’s moving on , and Irene won’t think I’m still hung up on him
Cheryl clicked her tongue . “ But , my sixth sense as a woman tells me Winnie
sincere towards Jonathan . ”
“ Come on , Jonathan’s rich , good – looking , and only thirty . Why wouldn’t she be sincere ? ”

Cheryl burst out laughing . “ Teresa , are you jealous ? Feeling a little salty , huh ? ”
“ I am not ! Don’t be ridiculous . I’d love for him to move on . Anyway , enough about me – go check on Serena . I only gave her formula today , didn’t breastfeed her at all . ”
“ Here comes your favorite girl ! ” Cheryl squealed , arms outstretched as she dashed toward Serena .
After handling things smoothly at her place , Cheryl was about to head out . Teresa offered to drive her , but Cheryl shook her head . “ No need , I’ll just call a cab . It’ll be quick . ”
