“ I know you’re angry , but do you think I wanted this ? ” Gary said , his voice full of frustration . “ The last thing I wanted was to be Warner’s son or Donald’s brother . It’s not like I had any say in it .
“ Things have already come to this . If you don’t want anything to do with me and we’re no longer friends , I understand and respect that , I only came back this time to sort out Mike’s situation , and after that , I’ll leave Nareigh . ”
Jennifer nodded , a cold smirk on her lips . “ You’re right . If it weren’t for discussing Mike’s situation , I wouldn’t have agreed to see you . Frankly , I have no desire to see you at all . ”
“ That’s enough ! ” Teresa snapped . “ Stop arguing in my house . I’m sick of it . Are you two done yet ? Both of you sit down .”
Gary fell silent .
Jennifer pressed her lips together . “ Teresa , you’ve just been discharged . Please , try not to get upset . ”
Teresa snapped , “ Who do you think I’m angry at ? I only called you here because of Mike’s situation . I don’t want to hear any more of your nonsense .
Gary looked around and then asked , “ Where’s Mike ? ”
Teresa rubbed her temples . “ Mike’s still at Miriam’s . He hasn’t come back yet . ”
“ Then I’ll call Jonathan and have him come over , ” Gary said firmly . “ Let’s sort this out face to face . ”
Teresa had no objections . In fact , she preferred to get this over with quickly .
Jennifer strongly objected . Just then , her phone rang and she answered , “ I’m at Teresa’s place now . Mm , I’ll be back soon . ” After hanging up , she told them , “ Donald needs me for something urgent . I have to go back .
“ Don’t you two dare do anything without my permission , ” Jennifer warned sharply . “ Whatever you’re going to discuss , it can wait until I get back . We need to think this through carefully . ” With that , Jennifer left .
Gary stood up and gazed out the window at Jennifer’s retreating figure , a flicker of loss in his eyes . He knew that after all these years , their friendship
would never be the same .
Gary said to Teresa , “ Jennifer told me she deeply regrets introducing you to me . Now , whenever she looks at me , all I see in her eyes is pure disgust . ”
“ That’s just how Jennifer is . Whenever things don’t go her way , she acts like the whole world owes her something . It isn’t your fault . It’s just that you and Donald becoming brothers is hard for her to accept . ”
Gary sniffled , composing himself . “ Alright , enough about me . Let’s talk about Mike . Once the truth about Mike comes out , Jonathan will definitely revisit the previous DNA test . Jennifer won’t be able to escape responsibility . ”
Teresa said , “ I’ve given Jennifer time to prepare . Things are out of my hands now . All I want is for Mike to go to preschool without any worries . I just hope he can live in the sunshine , just like you .”
Gary suddenly realized what Teresa meant . “ He will , ” he promised .
He confessed that he deliberately instructed Jennifer to conceal the report , while Teresa herself was completely unawar silence , leaving her in an impossible bind .
“ You really don’t have to do this . I don’t need your help , ” Teresa said firmly .
er , he threatened her into
“ I must , ” Gary insisted . “ I told you , I don’t want to hurt you or Jennifer . Jonathan is usually soft – hearted , but this time I can’t be sure . He has his limits . ”
Teresa fell silent . Deep down , she knew Jonathan could never just stand by and do nothing .

Night after night , she was haunted by dreams of the way he looked at her with that heart – wrenching mix of disappointment and hatred in his age Maybe those nightmares would come true after all .
