Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 128

128.Chapter 128

“Mommy, let’s talk later. I’m going to thank Mr. Lime by giving him a drawing. He has been so nice to me,” Michael announced.

“Okay,” came Teresa’s response. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t jealous.‘ Why hasn’t he drawn anything for me? I’ve always been nice to him too!‘ she wondered. After a brief pause, Teresa said to him, “Go ahead then. Also, I bought tickets for the latest holiday movie–Paddington. Let’s watch it together when you’re back!”

“Okay!” Michael nodded eagerly, his head bobbing back and forth like a bobblehead. After hanging up, Michael continued to draw.

When Jonathan finished work two hours later and returned to the hotel, Michael had fallen asleep at the desk with a crayon still clutched in his

hand.

Gently, Jonathan picked up the drawing. It depicted a man in a suit standing next to a lime tree.

For a child just over two years old, the drawing was impressively vivid. The figure stood before a vast sky, looking like he was strong enough to hold it up. Carefully, Jonathan carried the sleeping Michael to his bed, tucking him in gently. The following days were filled with exploration as Jonathan toured the city with Michael. Many passersby mistook them for father and son.

The day before New Year’s Eve, the two returned to Nareigh. Miriam, playing her usual role as mediator, went to the airport to pick Michael up. The child was fast asleep in Jonathan’s arms.

“He’s exhausted from the trip and slept through the entire journey back,” Jonathan explained as he handed Michael to Miriam. “Also, I heard from Edward-”

Miriam, impulsive as ever, cut

him off before he could finish, “What? What did Edward say about me? Has he taken a liking to me?”

Jonathan shook his head. “He mentioned that Mike is your nephew. Why did you lie to him?”

Miriam’s heart raced. ‘What exact successfully unlocked! athan? If only Teresa were here to help! She’d know how to handle this, she noted. but Teresa wasn’t there, and Miriam wasn’t as quick on her feet.

Miriam anxiously chewed on her fingernails, then immediately called Teresa to relay the encounter. Although flustered, Teresa quickly composed herself.

‘Even if Jonathan suspects something, he doesn’t have proof,‘ she reasoned. The medical records from her childbirth were strictly confidential. No matter how resourceful Jonathan was, he couldn’t access them. ‘And he doesn’t even know which hospital I delivered in,‘ she reassured herself.

“What if Jonathan decides to get another DNA test?” Miriam asked nervously.

“That’s impossible. Cheryl already did a test that proved Mike isn’t his son. Jonathan is too proud to risk embarrassing himself by going through that again,” Teresa replied with certainty. She knew Jonathan better than anyone.

Miriam finally relaxed at Teresa’s assurance. ‘Besides, even if the truth comes out, it’s not my problem, Miriam thought.
