The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 139

139.Chapter 139

She had so little, everything would slip away from her if she loosened her grip even just a bit.

It seemed like the child she had worked so hard to raise for nearly three years would leave her tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow.

Teresa lay in bed, her tears soaking the pillow. She felt lost now, unsure of the right thing to do.

Right now, she wanted to call Evelyn and ask her how to be a good mother.

But she had no one to turn to. Her own mother didn’t even respond to her New Year’s greetings, so how could that woman possibly guide her? The path ahead was shrouded in mist, with no clear way forward and no chance of turning back.

“Mommy, I’m sorry.” A small hand suddenly reached over and awkwardly wiped her

tears.

Teresa did not know when Michael came into her room. She looked up with teary eyes and saw the little boy, who was pouting and had red eyes.

“I won’t look for Daddy anymore. I also won’t call Mr. Lime ‘Daddy‘. I’ll be good and listen to you. Please don’t cry,” Michael begged.

“It’s not your fault,” Teresa reassured him and stroked his cheek. “I’m crying because ! thought of some sad things, not because of you.”

“Then let me tell you a joke.” Michael held Teresa’s hand. “Do you know why the scarecrow won an award?” he asked.

Teresa thought about it and shook her head. “Why?”

Michael replied, “Because he was outstanding in his field!”

Teresa caught on to the joke and smiled a little. Michael chuckled, “You’re smiling! That means you’re not sad anymore. I don’t want you to cry again.”

“Okay, I won’t cry again. I’ll go wash my face,” Teresa said.

In the bathroom, she washed her face and wiped away her tears.

‘One step at a time. If there’s no perfect choice, then the best choice is simply the one I make right now, she thought.

Meanwhile, Simona stormed off to complain to Irene, “A divorced couple went to watch a movie together! What kind of nonsense is that?”

Successfully unlocked!

“Simona, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I’ve tried to find ways for you two to meet, but Jonathan just doesn’t want to see you,” Irene replied.

Simona was upset. “It’s all a misunderstanding! I saw that he was drunk and wanted to

take care of him. I noticed his door was open, so I went in. But I didn’t do anything to

him!

“Come on, Mrs. Lynn! Even if something happened, it’s the girl who’d lose out! And yet he hates me because of this. How’s that fair?”

Irene said, “If he doesn’t appreciate it, there’s nothing I can do. These days, I can’t even say much to him. I’m afraid he’d be annoyed.”

“Then go talk to Teresa and ask her to stop bothering Jonathan. What kind of person sticks to their ex–husband like that?” Simona kept urging Irene to confront Teresa.

In fact, Irene had gone to see Teresa because she was swayed by Simona.
