Chapter 491
Sherry’s cheeks turned a little red as she looked at Teresa . “ He sure knows a lot , huh ? ”
“ He picks it up from TV ,” Teresa replied , and told Sherry to take Michael and leave the wedding .
“ Be good . I’ll be back soon ,” Teresa said softly .
At Teresa’s signal , Sherry picked up Michael and got ready to leave . But as she stood up , she accidentally knocked over a wine glass . The loud crash of breaking glass echoed , immediately getting everyone’s attention .
Sherry stood there holding Michael , looking flustered . Teresa stepped in front of Michael to protect him . The scene confused many guests, and Evelyn looked a bit puzzled , her eyes full of questions about why Michael was there .
Cheryl noticed too , her hands clenched tight with nerves . Sanford looked at Teresa , and suddenly everything clicked in his mind .
He looked over at another table . Jonathan was missing , and so was Irene . What a coincidence .
Sanford was thinking about how to help Jennifer by distracting everyone . After all , it was her big day , and he had promised not to cause trouble at her wedding .
“ Everyone , ” Jennifer suddenly spoke up , holding Donald’s hand tightly . Her fingers trembled a little , and her voice was a bit rushed . “ There’s something Donald doesn’t know yet , but I have to say it now so you can all be happy for me . ”
The bride’s words immediately got everyone’s attention . No one looked at Sherry and Michael anymore ; all eyes were on Jennifer . On stage , Jennifer looked at Donald and said , “ I’m pregnant . Donald , you’re going to be a dad .”
Donald was stunned , and the whole room burst into excited applause .
Sanford was a beat late , but he started clapping too , though his eyes s still held a little disbelief . When he looked back , Sherry , Michael , and Teresa were already gone .
A smile spread across Sanford’s face – what he’d been thinking was confirmed. Donald held Jennifer’s hand tightly , barely able to contain his excitement . “ Really? I’m really going to be a dad ? ”
Jennifer nodded , sneaking a quick look to make sure Michael and Teresa had left before finally letting out a sigh of relief. “ We’ll talk more after the wedding , okay ? ”
“ Okay . ” Donald was so happy that he hugged Jennifer tightly .
Cheryl , acting as the ring bearer , handed the wedding rings to Donald . She couldn’t help but glance at Jennifer’s flat stomach – Jennifer didn’t look
pregnant at all .
Donald took the ring and slid it onto Jennifer’s finger. After Cheryl stepped back , he put both hands on Jennifer’s shoulders and kissed her on the lips .
The applause and cheers from the guests grew even louder .
After seeing Sherry and Michael off , Teresa made a quick stop at the restroom . She had completely missed Jennifer’s big news about being pregnant .
All Teresa could hear were screams and cheers , but she had no idea what was going on . By then , she was already outsid
From the men’s room , she heard someone throwing up . The voice was very familiar , and Teresa’s heart clenched as she stood in the hallway .
It wasn’t long before Jonathan walked out of the restroom , his face pale . He splashed some water on his face , and drops ran down his jaw .
Teresa stepped forward and asked , “ Are you okay ? ” She noticed earlier that he hadn’t touched his food , just kept drinking .
Jonathan stared at her. “ Wait here , I’ll get you some water , ” Teresa said , heading downstairs .

A few minutes later , she ran back up and handed him a bottle of water . As Jonathan took it , he grabbed Teresa’s hand
Teresa tried to pull her hand away , but his grip only got tighter . When she struggled , Jonathan suddenly pulled her close , pressing his palei realisti
back .
“ Do you ever think about the day we were married ? ” Jonathan looked down , his eyes locked on hers . “ I’m not the son – in – law your mom talks abou anymore , and you’re no longer the granddaughter – in – law in my grandpa’s eyes .”
Teresa froze , her resistance fading away . Jonathan kept going , “ Your sister and Donald are family now . But we’re not family anymore . How does that make you feel ? ”
It felt like something inside Teresa broke open . She swallowed her pain and forced herself to say , “ You’re still drunk , Go back and get something to eat
Jonathan’s grip on her hand tightened just as Edward hurried over , shouting , “ Jonathan , something’s wrong ! ”
Jonathan shifted slightly , and only then did Edward notice Teresa . “ Oh , Teresa , you’re here too . Hope I’m not interrupting anything
Jonathan was still holding Teresa’s hand . He looked at Edward and asked , “ What’s wrong ? ”
“ Gordon got in , and now he’s got a hold on the bride and won’t let
t go , ” Edward said .
Jonathan’s brow furrowed . Teresa yanked her hand free and walked toward the hall , with Jonathan right behind her . The once happy and lively wedding had turned into complete chaos.
Irene and Heidi were trying hard to pull Gordon off , but he held onto Jennifer’s wrist . No matter what they did , he wouldn’t let go .
Gordon said , “ Did you kill Fiona ? You are vicious ! ”
“ Dad , please , stop it ! Mom’s been gone for years . Let’s just go , ” Heidi begged .
With a hard pull , Heidi finally managed to get Gordon away . In the next second , Gordon shoved her aside and grabbed Jennifer’s veil . “ Where’s Fiona ? You’re wearing her bracelet . Give her back to me ! ”
Jennifer’s makeup was ruined , her veil and hair a mess . Donald finally lost his patience and pushed Gordon to the ground , stepping in front of Jennifer to protect her .
Irene snapped , “ Donald , how dare you push my dad ? ”
Donald sighed , “ Aunt Irene , please just take him and leave . This is Jennifer’s and my wedding . ”
Before Irene could say anything , Jonathan pushed through the crowd and walked over .
“ Sorry for all the trouble . I’ll get him out of here now , ” Jonathan said .
With Irene and Heidi’s help , Jonathan quickly took Gordon out of the wedding place . Even though the troublemaker was gone , the place was a total
mess .
Shards of glass covered the floor . Bouquets were everywhere from all the pushing and shoving . The red carpet was wrinkled and bunched up . Jennifer sat there , her hair tangled , her veil slipping off one shoulder.
Donald tried to fix Jennifer’s veil and patted her shoulder , hoping she could hold it together . But Jennifer shook his hand in frustration and broke down , collapsing to the ground .
