Teresa still wasn’t having it . She had her own life , and she didn’t think she was so weak that she needed to lie around at home all day .
“ I’m not saying you have to stay home all the time . I’m not trying to restrict your freedom , I just want to take better care of you , Jonathan said .
“ It’s just that there’s not enough room for a maternity nanny here , and everything is inconvenient . If you really don’t want to , Fean arrange for you to stay at a maternity center . ”
“ No , thanks . I don’t need a maternity center . I’m fine staying here , ” Teresa replied .
Jonathan sighed , “ Who did you inherit this stubbornness from ? You’re really driving me crazy . ” He just tried to make things easier for her , hoping she could be more comfortable .
Teresa said , “ It’s not about being stubborn . If I move into your house , have you thought about what your mom would think if she came over and saw me there ? Or what other people might say ? ”
“ What , worried the rumors will mess up your shot at a new romance ? ” Jonathan raised an eyebrow , his tone laced with jealousy .
“ I’m just afraid I’ll get in the way of you moving on , ” Teresa shot back . “ Aren’t you supposed to be marrying Ms. Kelly ? ”
“ I’ve already got two kids . Why would I even think about marrying her ? Besides , I have zero interest in her , ” Jonathan said .
“ She’s from a prominent family , and she even went to visit your grandpa . Isn’t your mom really into her ? ” Teresa pressed .
Jonathan felt another wave of frustration . His brows knit together . ‘ Why does it always come back to my mom ? I’m not some mama’s boy , he thought ..
“ Let’s not get sidetracked . We’re talking about where you’re going to live . If you want to stay at Rosary Estates for now , then I’ll just move in here with you ,” Jonathan said .
Teresa was left speechless .
“ So , either you move in with me , or I move in here , or we both go back to Luviston Estates , ” Jonathan continued .
“ Hold on , ” Teresa said , completely baffled . “ Luviston Estates was our wedding home . We’re divorced , and now you want us to move back there ? That’s not a real choice . You’re not giving me any options at all . ”
“ Fine , I’ll move in here . I’ll arrange for the maternity nannies to handle the cooking and cleaning , but they won’t be staying overnight , ” Jonathan said , taking a step back . “ That’s settled for now . ” He glanced at the time . “ I’ll head back for now and move in tomorrow . ”
Teresa frowned , “ Can you not be so bossy ? I haven’t even agreed to any of this yet . ”
“ So what do you want , then ? You don’t want to get back together , you don’t want to move in with me , and you don’t want me moving in here either .
“ Either way , I have to keep an eye on you and the baby . What if you faint again and no one is around ? I just can’t let that happen , ” Jonathan insisted .
Teresa bit her lip , thinking , ‘ Maybe he only cares about the baby now . If I weren’t pregnant , there’s no way things would have thawed between us . ‘ She took a deep breath . “ I can take care of myself . Just come by when you have time . That’s enough .”
“ No way , ” Jonathan said firmly . “ If you won’t let me move in , then when Miriam gets back , I’ll settle things with her . ”
Teresa gritted her teeth . “ This is your go – to threat every time . ”
“ It’s not a threat , I’m letting it slide . Let’s just move forward . You kept Mike from me , and I’m willing to let that go , ” Jonathan replied .
Teresa fell silent again .
Jonathan’s look made it clear . If Teresa didn’t give in , he would deal with the people around her .

Teresa finally spoke up . “ I have one condition . Don’t tell Mike i in pregnant yet . He just reconnazied with you and is really happy about it
“ I don’t want him to start walking on eggshells around me because of the pregnancy . Fil tell him myself once it becomes obvious *
