Chapter 81

82. 82
Sherry didn’t know where Christian took Michael . Maybe they went out to play , but Christian didn’t tell her where . She trusted him enough to let him take Michael out .
Teresa breathed a sigh of relief . “ I feel relieved with you there . I’ll be back in a couple of days . ”
Sherry chuckled . “ Nothing happened with Mr. Lynn ? ”
Teresa asked , “ What could happen ? He’s a patient . ”
They didn’t sleep in the same room at night when she stayed here . She slept in the guest room while he slept in his room .
Teresa hung up and walked back to the study . The phone on the table buzzed twice . It was Jonathan’s , and a text message popped up automatically .
It read : [ You’re not answering my calls ? If you don’t like Simona , I can introduce you to other women . Just don’t pine over Teresa . It’s been more than two years since the divorce . She’s not worthy . ]
The sender was Irene .
Teresa sneered as she thought , ‘ Oh , right . I’m not worthy .”
Jonathan came out of the bathroom and didn’t see Teresa in the study .
She was packing her bags in the guest room , ready to leave . Jonathan still had his arm in a bandage as he leaned against the door , blocking her path . “ My arm still hurts . ”
Teresa snorted coldly . “ Then find a professional caregiver . I can’t take care of your forever . ”
She still had her work , her life , and Michael to raise .
“ Oh , by the way , your mother texted you . She wants to introduce you to other women . You should check it out ,” she added .
She only had one bag and was about to walk past him when Jonathan grabbed her hand with his uninjured arm . “ You say you’re not jealous , but you always act like this . ”
Teresa shook off his hand . “ Like what ? We’ve been divorced for over two years . Why would I be jealous ? On the other hand , you keep interfering in my business . When we divorced , you said you didn’t love me , but now … What are you doing back in Nareigh , Jonathan ? ”
He could clearly find someone better , given his conditions . Although he was divorced , he didn’t know about Michael , and he would never know . So that wouldn’t stop him from finding someone . It was like he was single anyway .
He was handsome , rich , tall , and had a nice personality . How could he not find the right one ?

Jonathan’s gaze was filled with pain and sarcasm as he said , “ Right . I don’t love your anymore . I just came back to Nareigh to torment myself . I was bored , so I still live in this matrimonial house after our divorce . I lose sleep because I miss you so much . ”
“ I even keep our wedding photo in the master bedroom . I got bored again , so I bought a courtyard house in Jarisburg just because you mentioned wanting a big courtyard house so our kids could have good schooling .
“ When I was away on a business trip and heard something happened to you , I dropped my business partner and caught the fastest flight back . When I heard you were short on cash , I sent you money immediately .
“ I ate ravioli that was left out overnight and got gastroenteritis . I was hospitalized for three days and had to get IV drips . But you said you wanted hash browns and waffles , so I ran all over Nareigh to buy them and bring you breakfast .
“ I went to your opening ceremony , but the traffic was bad , so I got out of the car . Then , I got hit by a bike , dislocated my shoulder , and couldn’t go to work for three days . This means I don’t love you , right ? ”
Teresa pursed her lips . His sudden seriousness flustered her . She was at a loss .
“ When we divorced , you said you only felt touched by me and married me for that , not love . What about now ? ” Jonathan asked .
He locked his gaze onto her wandering eyes as if the moment she said she loved him , he would give her even the stars in the sky if she wanted them .
