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

Staff if she

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

Teresa was amused by how Jon got the free one?]

always argued with her over trivial matters. Without saying more, she responded: [Since you have it, I’ll come get it for him. He really wants it.]

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

there.

Teresa was frustrated after having to spend the whole afternoon talking to him over a scarf. This was like when they were married. They would have long conversations just to decide what to have for dinner.

He had an answer for everything; but, if he was busy with work or was on business trips, their plans would fall through. Now that he was the boss, no one could order him around. He was the one giving orders instead,

That was what crossed Teresa’s mind.

That evening, Miriam came to see her. She asked Miriam to watch Michael because she was going out.

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

“I’m just stepping out to get a scarf. I’ll be back soon,” Teresa replied.

Michael stopped Teresa. “Mommy, did you find my scarf? Is it at the movie theater?”

Feeling guilty, Teresa hummed in acknowledgment. “I’m going to get it for you now.”

Teresa drove off in her white Audi A6. She remembered Jennifer saying that a car was just a means of transportation; and, as long as it was decent, any car was fine. So, Teresa changed her car today.

The other day, her car was involved in a minor accident. She took the opportunity to repair it and sold it as a used vehicle to buy a new one.

When Teresa arrived at the Lynn residence, she noticed that the front door was ajar- which was odd. She thought Jonathan had returned.

She shouted before she pushed the door open and entered. There was no one inside. She glanced around the living room and did not see Jonathan or the scarf.

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.
