Benny cleared his throat and said , “ When I mean is , if Cheryl her psychologically and affect her views on marrings ”

Jonathan gave him a cool , sidelong glance . “ Since when have you been to concerned about charg
Benny raised a hand . “ Alright , don’t get me wrong . I’m just speaking my mind . You know my type I’m not into young girls like that
Jonathan said , “ I didn’t even ask if you were interested in her
“ Hey , ” Benny realized he’d just fallen into someone’s trap . He quickly scrambled out , straightened his clothes , and stood up . “ Alright , I’m off now . ”
Jonathan fixed his gaze on the document Benny had left behind , lost in thought .
Cheryl went to Teresa’s place to pick up Serena . Noticing Cheryl’s seemingly carefree demeanor , Teresa subtly probed , “ So you just went back and came right back ? ”
“ Oh , right , I didn’t even realize today was my parents ‘ wedding anniversary , ” Cheryl said , hugging Serena and kissing her on the cheek
She then turned to Teresa and added , “ They wanted me to stay home for a couple of days , but of course , I couldn’t just stay there , so excuse to come over instead . ”
Cheryl was very grateful to Teresa for taking care of Serena and wanted to send her a money transfer as a token of thanks .

“Come on , just keep that money and buy some diapers for the baby , ” Teresa said dismissively . She really didn’t care about that measly money .
“ Let me give you a ride , ” Teresa offered . “ I don’t have much to do today . ”
“ Then I won’t stand on ceremony ! ” Cheryl couldn’t have been happier .
Teresa packed up some things for Cheryl , including some clothes Michael had when he was one year old . Most of them had never even been worn . She asked Cheryl if she wanted them .
Teresa thought , ‘ if she wants them , I’ll keep the clothes for her ; otherwise , I was just about to throw them all out ‘
Cheryl looked at the tiny designer clothes , the fabric incredibly soft , and accepted them without hesitation .
“ I got a few new outfits for Serena , and some for you too . Plus , there are some face masks and cosmetics . Just take them all , okay ? ”
Cheryl was incredibly touched . She said , “ Teresa , thank you so much for being so good to me and Serena . ”
Compared to the notoriously stingy Jennifer , Teresa , though not officially her sister – in – law , always made Cheryl feet incredibly warm at heart .
Jonathan was just getting off work when he spotted Teresa’s car two vehicles ahead of him .
Teresa , however , didn’t notice Jonathan’s car . Inside her car were Cheryl , Serena , and Michael
A glint flashed in Jonathan’s eyes as he spotted Cathy sitting on a bench by the roadside .

Jonathan frowned and instructed his driver to pull over . By the time Jonathan’s car came to a stop , Teresa’s zar hað útreanty emishna waand te

Cathy looked up and saw Jonathan . She stood up and said, “ Jonathan , what are you doing here ? Are you off
Jonathan looked at Cathy and asked gently . “ Cathy , have you eaten ? If not , let’s grab a bite together ”
“ No , thanks . I’m not very hungry . I was just about to pick up some things at the supermarket and then head home ”
Seeing this , Jonathan didn’t press further . “ How have Donald and Cheryl been lately ? ”
“ They’re both doing great at work , but Cheryl still hasn’t found a boyfriend yet . If you know anyone suitable , maybe you could help her find someone
Jonathan nodded . “ I’ve always treated Cheryl like my own sister . I’ll keep an eye out for suitable men for her . ) I’ll certainly do what I can . ”
Cathy fell silent . Just as Jonathan was about to leave , she suddenly called out , “ Wait ! ”
As for Donald , if he needs any help at work ,
Cathy paused , then said , “ Jonathan , I’m actually feeling a bit hungry now . How about I treat you to dinner ? ” Jonathan held the car door open for Cathy
Cathy seemed perfectly composed throughout dinner , showing no emotion .
Cathy managed to hold herself together through dinner , but as soon as she set down her fork , her composure finally shattered .
She poured her heart out to Jonathan , confessing that Werner was having an affair , something Cheryl still didn’t know . Cathy admitted she’d been desperately searching for evidence , but so far , she hadn’t found a thing .
“ Jonathan , with all your resources , could you please help me out ? Don’t worry . I don’t want to make a scene with Werner . I just want us to divorce and part ways with dignity . ”
Jonathan sighed . “ Werner isn’t like that . Maybe there’s just been a misunderstanding between you two ? ”
“ I wish it were just a misunderstanding , ” Cathy said , taking the tissue Jonathan handed her . “ He secretly transferred out a total of 150 thousand dollars behind my back , even dipping into our retirement savings .
“ When I asked who he sent the money to , he just hemmed and hawed , saying it was for a friend . But when I pressed him to name names , he just clammed up completely .
“ Jonathan , I’m not asking you for anything else . I know you’re part of the Lynn family . I just hope you can help me investigate who Werner really transferred that money to . That’s all I need . I’ll handle everything else myself . ”
Jonathan didn’t respond immediately : Cathy sobbed again . “ Jonathan , don’t worry . I won’t let things with Werner turn into a bitter end .
“ I’ve thought it over : if I make this a public scandal and everyone finds out , the ones who’ll suffer most are Donald and Cheryl . Donald works at the hospital now , and I can’t let his colleagues laugh at him .
“ And Cheryl’s not even married yet . I have to consider her marriage prospects . But my heart aches so much . How could Werner do something like this behind my back ? ”
Tears welled up in Cathy’s eyes again . “ All I want now is to get back what’s rightfully mine . Then I’ll have an amicable divorce with Werner . We’ll each go our own way . Now that the children are grown , this is the most I can do . ”
Jonathan said , “ Cathy , I get what you’re getting at . I’m just concerned this might all be a misunderstanding . ”
“ If it really is just a misunderstanding , ” Cathy interjected , “ then that would be the best outcome for everyone . It would mean I was mistaken . After all these years with Werner , deep down , I still believe he’s not that kind of man . ” Jonathan nodded .
