171.Chapter 171
Jonathan left the Lynn residence Instead of heading to tuviston Estate, he went to Fodiste Rose Estates. He had bought
in several mansions, and the one at Forlisle Rose Estates in Naraigh took year to renovate
Just as he was thinking about Teresa she called him Jonathan was not expecting her to make the first move
Hearing his raspy voice. Teresa asked. “How are you holding up? Oh, and how’s Edward?
“He’s much better I gave him 10,000 dollars to stop him from complaining. He evold me catching a cold works wonders for his health” Jonathan coughed “But I’m still a bit under the weather”
“Oh. I was planning to invite you, but maybe next time, remarked Teresa
Jonathan immediately changed his tone “Invite me to what?
Teresa revealed. “On March 6th, there’ll be a product launch event for Teresouth Group I was wondering if you’d join us Remember when I drove your car to a business meeting?
“Well, two business owners are interested in partnering with me. They asked if you’d be attending the event. If you do, they Il discuss a significant deal with us
Jonathan hummed an acknowledgment. “Which two companies?”
“One’s Broadwealth, and the other’s Flounshway” replied Teresa
Jonathan then teased a little, “From Strico? Why are you venturing down south? You must be thinking of opening a Teresouth Group branch there.”
Teresa paused for a couple of seconds. “What if I am?”
Suddenly, Jonathan fell silent. After a moment, he piped up. “Wherever you go, I’ll find you. You don’t have to run away from
me.”
“We’ve been divorced for three years already,” said Teresa.
“Before and after our marriage, I’ve been the only man in your life, so what if we’re divorced? So heartless, you” Jonathan commented.
Teresa was frustrated. “I don’t have time to argue with you. I’m busy with the launch event. Let me know if you’re coming
Til go.” Jonathan answered. Teresa acknowledged that and was about to hang up.
“Wait.” Jonathan’s deep voice abruptly sounded, “I’m truly sorry”
That baffled Teresa. Jonathan explained, “Donald told me you were devastated and all alone when Hannah was in the crash. Im sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed me the mast.”
“It doesn’t matter anymore. You haven’t done anything wrong.” Tears filled Teresa’s eyes as she hung up the phone
With only a week left until Teresouth Group’s product launch event, Teresa was swamped with work. Jennifer finally stopped nagging at her, knowing Teresa had a lot on her plate.
That night, Jennifer was on a night shift and would not be home, Teresa, too, would be home late. Michael, in turn, would be home alone. With the mountain of work, bringing Michael to the office would not help Teresa either
Thus, Teresa contacted Miriam. The latter had time to spare, so Teresa arranged for Michael to stay at Miriam’s place for
the night
Also, Teresa casually mentioned to Miriam, “I think Edward might’ve fallen ill”
“Ha! Miriam’s eyes flashed with annoyance. “He texted me yesterday, saying he had a cold. I told him I wouldn’t fall for that anymore!”
“Okay, but this time, he really is sick, and it’s my fault. The night we all went out for supper, I forgot to put the covers on him before leaving, and he shivered all night,” elucidated Teresa.
Miriam froze upon hearing that. After Teresa left, Miriam checked her chat history with Edward on her phone over and over
Edward: [I really caught a cold this time…]
Miriam: How many times are you trying to fool me with the same excuse? I’m five years older than you. I’m not dumb.]
Edward: [Fine. I’m the boy who cried wolf. I guess you’ll never believe me again.]

a cold. Still, Miriam thought, ‘Whatever So what if he really has a cold?‘ Her hands, though, as if acted on their own as she made a voice call to Edward
Miriam uttered, “Do you really have a cold? My bad. I thought=”
