The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 133

133.Chapter 133

Michael asked, “But what about your mommy and daddy? I’ve never seen them before.”

“They-” A tear fell into the ravioli as Teresa choked up. She quickly wiped her tears with her hand. “They’re busy.”

Since she severed ties with Philip, she lost all contact with him. She knew he had gone abroad but wasn’t sure where.

As for Evelyn, Teresa figured she was probably celebrating New Year’s Eve dinner with her new husband and daughter, not giving Teresa a second thought. Year after year, day after day, Teresa felt she had no fami

Teresa lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Michael.”

Michael blinked confusedly. “What for?”

Teresa said, “Sorry for putting you through this.”

Michael continued eating his ravioli. “This isn’t bitter,” he said between bites. “It actually has kind of a sweet aftertaste.”

Teresa felt warmth spreading in her heart and gently patted Michael’s head.

Michael asked, “Have you bought tickets for the Paddington movie?”

Teresa nodded and said rather flatteringly, “I’ve made plans. I’ll be going back to work on January 4th, so I can spend a few more days with you.

“We can go watch movies or visit an amusement park. I’ll take you anywhere you want to go.”

If Jonathan could do those things with Michael, then so could she. She would live a simple and peaceful life with her son–just the two of them.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Michael jumped up excitedly. “Could it be Mr. Lime? I’ll get it!”

Teresa advised him not to open the door immediately and to check who the visitor was first. However, the door was already open.

Michael looked up, and a trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes. “Mommy, it’s Ms. Doctor.”

Yeah, Jennifer replied. “I was feeling really lonely at home. I thought you and Michael might be here, so I decided to drop by.”

Teresa handed her a fork. “You haven’t eaten yet, right? We still have some ravioli left from the last time we made them together. Michael and I cooked them today.”

Jennifer asked, “You’re only having ravioli?”

Michael snorted. “Because Mommy doesn’t know how to cook.”

Teresa glared at him as if saying, “You talk too much.”

Jennifer said, “This is so sad. Let me cook a few dishes.”

Teresa didn’t want to trouble Jennifer, but the latter said it wasn’t any trouble and it would be quick. Otherwise, just having ravioli with walnuts would be sad.

“By the way, didn’t you say you have a sister? Aren’t you going to invite her over for the holidays?” asked Teresa.

Jennifer paused while cooking, a slight smile appearing on her face. “She just texted me today wishing me a happy new year.”

Teresa smiled. “Really? You managed to get in touch with her? That’s great.”

Jennifer stopped talking. She cooked four dishes and set them on the table. Michael took a potato wedge, chewed it, and said, “It’s tasty, but not quite as good as Mr. Lime‘

Teresa scolded, “She is nice enough to cook for us. How could you be so picky?”

Michael snorted. “I’m not. I’m really grateful.”

Jennifer watched the pair bicker and couldn’t help but laugh. “Mike, what do to eat next time? I’ll make you something else. How about braised short ribs or fried chicken wings?”
