Her subordinate was shocked. “Who is it for, Ms. Larkin?”

Simona replied impatiently, “Do I need to tell you who it’s for? Keep this a secret from my parents, or I’ll hold you accountable.”

After hanging up the phone, Simona steepled her fingers as her expression became even more devious. She did not believe that Jonathan would shirk responsibility if he slept with her.

Today, while organizing Michael’s clothes at Rosary Estates, Teresa noticed the scarf she bought him was missing. He was still wearing it at the movies, but it had disappeared by the time they got home.

Michael really liked that scarf and had been asking about it all day.

The movie theater was nearby, so Teresa drove there to ask the cleaning

had found a scarf while cleaning Hall 1 after the 3:30 pm showing of “Paddington” during New Year’s Day.

“I remember you, Miss,” the staff replied. “You came to watch the movie with your husband and son, right?”

Teresa nodded without explaining much.

The staff smiled. “Your family’s so good–looking and left an impression on me. I didn’t find anything while cleaning that day.”

Teresa said, “I see. Thank you.”

Teresa left the movie theater, wondering if Jonathan had taken the scarf. After all, she was in a hurry when carrying Michael into the elevator while Jonathan left later. She ended up messaging him to ask if he had it.

A moment later; Jonathan replied, saying he took the scarf with him because she had already rushed off. He added: [So why does Mike have the same scarf as me?]

Teresa got a strange feeling when she saw “Mike” in Jonathan’s message. She texted: [The mall had a BOGO deal.]

Jonathan: [Who did you buy it for? Who

Successfully unlocked!

Teresa added: [Should I get it at Luvicton Estates?] However, there was no response.

Jonathan did not reply until the afternoon. He said: [Why don’t you come to the Lynn

residence tonight? I’ll bring the scarf 1

Teresa: [I’ll pass. Your mom and grandpa are there.]

Jonathan: [Grandpa went to Donald’s place, so it’s just me and my mom.]

Teresa chuckled to herself. It was exactly because Irene was there that it was a hassle. No matter what, Teresa did not want to meet her again. Teresa: [Some other time. I’ll get the scarf when you’re free.]

Jonathan didn’t respond, and Teresa didn’t say anything else. Although she had blocked him, the chat history was still there. When she scrolled up, she saw that he had not accepted the money she sent for the movie tickets and had returned it.

Jonathan messaged Teresa again at around 5:00 PM., telling her to go to the Lynn residence tonight to take the scarf. Irene would not be around, and only he would be

“Where are you going? Visiting some relatives?” Miriam asked.

Teresa called Jonathan, but his line was busy. She thought, ‘What’s going on? Is he coming back or not? The door’s open and the lights are on, so someone must’ve been here but had just left.

minutes, but Jonathan still had not returned.

She was about to leave when she noticed a painting on the wall next to her. There was a boy holding a muffin in the middle, with purple violets on the left and a tree with limes on the right.

As soon as Teresa saw the painting, she recognized it as Michael’s artwork. Violets were her favorite flower, the muffin represented Michael, and the lime tree was Jonathan.

She had noticed Michael’s talent for painting and never overlooked it. She signed him up for classes, found teachers, and even had Cheryl–a Lumina School of Art graduate

-coach him several times.

It was unclear when Michael painted this. Jonathan was with Michael for five days, so it must have been made while they were at the Lynn residence.

Teresa was surprised to find Michael’s painting hanging on the living room wall. No one aside from her could understand its meaning. Teresa felt uncomfortable upon realizing Michael wanted Jonathan to be his father.

There was an already an opened bottle of wine on the table beside her, along with an empty glass. She sat down, poured herself a glass on a whim, and drank alone.

She rarely drank wine, and this one tasted odd unlike any she’d had before. The taste numbed her temporarily.

She touched the painting with one hand and remembered how she loved to draw as a child, often sketching a family of four. Even after Hannah was gone, Teresa would still draw her and imagine the family together.

Before Teresa knew it, she had emptied more than half the bottle.

Teresa took out her phone and snapped a picture of the wine’s packaging. It was imported from Friyx and cost tens of thousands of dollars. She texted Jonathan: [Sorry, I drank your wine. I’ll replace it with a new one.]

Jonathan didn’t reply, and Teresa frowned. He didn’t answer her calls or messages. She wondered if he was coming back or not. She decided to leave; but, as she stood, she felt dizzy and weak.

She felt drained, with an unexplainable heat building within her.
