Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 290

290.Chapter 290

Irene tugged on Cathy’s sleeve and, in a voice meant for just the two of them–but loud enough for Jennifer to hear–said, “Cathy, you better keep an eye on your money. Don’t give Donald too much money, or he’ll just spend it all on her.

“Jonathan’s the same way–makes a little money and spends it all on Teresa. Those two sisters are exactly the same.”

With a sharp clatter, Jennifer slammed her fork down, her expression icy. “Irene, haven‘ t you said enough?”

“Dad, did you hear that?” Irene finally found her chance. “She just yelled at me. She has

no manners at all.

“At least Teresa knows to be polite to me. But her big sister? Even worse. She’s even harder to handle and totally unfit to be our family’s daughter–in–law.”

Jennifer stood up, her face blank as she stared Irene down. “I’m here to celebrate my boyfriend’s mom’s birthday, not to put up with your attitude.

“Who do you think you are to lecture me? You really think I’m desperate to marry into your family? Honestly, this meal is hard to swallow.”

With that, Jennifer didn’t look at anyone or bother saving face for anyone. She just turned and walked out. “Jennifer-” Donald called after her, hurrying to catch up.

Cathy took another sip of water. Cheryl, quick to read the room, quietly slid her chair back. “I–I’ll go check on her,” she mumbled and then dashed out as fast as she could.

Cathy was too caught up in Donald’s situation to notice anything different about Cheryl.

Hayden stood up, walked over to Irene, and slapped her hard across the face. The whole room froze.

Hayden shouted, “You just can’t stop running your mouth, can you? Even the ducks in the river are quieter than you.”

“Dad,” Werner said, trying to stop Hayden, “please calm down.”

But Hayden pushed him aside and pointed at Irene. “You’ve ruined a perfectly good family dinner.”

Irene clutched her cheek. “I’m just thinking of the Lynn family, thinking of Donald. Do you really want a woman like that joining the family?”

“What’s wrong with her? She’s a good kid, and Teresa’s sister. What’s the problem?” replied Hayden.

“Good? You think those Johnston sisters are any good? One’s a Johnston, and the

other’s a Nelson. You heard Donald call her Hannah? That’s just to keep you happy. Her real name is Jennifer Nelson.”

At that, Hayden looked at Cathy, who finally said, “She really is Teresa’s sister, and yes, her name is Jennifer. She’s also called Hannah. Donald doesn’t care, so I don’t have much to say.”

Hayden came to his senses. “Whatever her name is, as long as my grandson likes her, that’s all that matters.”

Jennifer walked up to Donald, pulled out her phone, and transferred 30 thousand to him. “There’s still 150 thousand left. I’ll pay you back little by little,” she said firmly.

Donald frowned, “Jennifer… don’t do this. You know I’m serious about you,” he said.

But Jennifer stood her ground. “I have to write you an IOU right now. I need to pay you

back. I can’t let Irene go around saying I’m just after your money,” she said.

“You were the one who insisted on paying the down payment for me. I never said I wouldn’t pay you back. Well, here you go. I’ve paid you some now. As for the rest, I’ll pay off slowly,” she added.

Seeing how prickly she still was, Donald started to get annoyed too. “Jennifer, aren’t you going a bit too far? Do you know how much that hurts?”

Jennifer shot back, “And what about Irene? Her words didn’t hurt? I get it now. I can’t owe you a single cent.

“If she finds out, she’ll talk behind my back and drag Teresa into it too. Teresa’s all I’ve got. I can’t let her get caught up in this with me.”

Donald sighed helplessly. “Irene just has a sharp tongue. She’s only my aunt, and we only see her a few times a year at family gatherings. My parents, my grandpa, and I all like you. Can’t you just ignore her?”

“That’s just how Irene is,” Jennifer muttered. “I can’t believe Teresa put up with her for two years. My poor Teresa.”

“Alright…” Donald tried to take Jennifer’s hand again, but she impatiently shook him off. At that moment, a flash of exhaustion crossed Donald’s eyes.
