Teresa grew serious. “No, you can’t go.”
Michael was determined to attend the event no matter what. He wanted to meet
Jonathan and ask for a strand of his hair.
Teresa and Michael were at a standstill until Sherry came over to mediate.
“Mike, be good and stay here. Don’t you want Mr. Lime to be your dad? You can’t go and act as a third wheel. This way, your mom and Mr. Lime can have a chance to be alone,” Sherry explained. She kept winking at Michael as she spoke.
Only then did Michael nod. “All right, I won’t go. He turned and left with a pout.
Teresa still felt uneasy, so she asked Sherry to stay home and watch over Michael.
Soon, it was time for her to head out.
She left home and headed for the opening ceremony at Teresouth Group’s entrance. Hayden was also present.
Teresa was delighted, embracing Hayden. Donald showed up, too, while Cheryl mentioned being busy and wouldn’t be coming.
Teresa had also invited Edward. Initially, he was thrilled, but when he saw Miriam, he quickly ran to the other side of the room, keeping some distance from her.
Seeing Miriam walk over toward him, Edward quickly offered to get some beverages.
“Edward, stop right there,” Miriam called after him. She was devastated. She could have stayed home but decided to come when she heard Edward was attending.
Edward finally turned around, scratching his neck. “Oh, Miriam, you’re here too.”
Miriam gave a wry smile. “There’s no need for polite small talk. I didn’t realize you disliked me so much.”
She wiped her tears. “I promise I won’t mess with you anymore. You don’t have to avoid me or run away whenever you see me.” With that, she turned and walked away.
Edward gazed at Miriam’s retreating back, feeling a sudden pang of regret.
Over on Teresa’s side, she checked her watch. The opening ceremony was scheduled for 10:30 a.m., and it was already 10 a.m., yet Jonathan hadn’t arrived.
