The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Jonathan stepped out of the car, his gaze intensifying as he casually placed a hand in his pocket and covertly followed Teresa and Edward, staying out of their line of sight.

Edward, his curiosity piqued, turned to Teresa. “Hey, Teresa, can I ask you something?” he inquired.

Without waiting for a reply, he continued, “Why did you and Jonathan call it quits He’s keeping tight–lipped about it.”

Teresa let out a light laugh and shook her head. “You youngsters are always so curious,” she teased.

Edward grinned back. “I can’t help being curious. You two were really close before,” he said, his tone earnest.

“Come on, spill the beans. I won’t breathe a word,” he coaxed, his voice hushed.

As Edward’s questions persisted, Teresa answered with a grave tone, “Remember, dating and marriage play by different rules Jumping into marriage too quickly seldom ends well,”

She sighed, then pressed “When you’re ready to find someone for keeps, dig deep. Learn everything about them–their character, their roots, their story. It’s what really counts

Edward listened intently, nodding in reflection. Marriage was the last thing on his mind at his age. “So, with you and Jonathan, is it really over for good!” he questioned, his interest sincere,

Teresa’s head shake was a clear no. “That ship has sailed, she declared, certain that her path with Jonathan was never destined to last.

Edward paused, gathering his courage for his last query. “Do you still love him, Teresa?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

At that, Jonathan, who had been silently listening in, stopped dead in his tracks.

Edward made a solemn gesture, his voice sincere. “I swear, I won’t tell Jonathan a thing.” However, the glint in his eyes made Teresa suspect that he might reveal what he heard to Jonathan once their talk was done.

Her gaze conveyed a silent resolve. I’m done loving him,” she stated firmly

Jonathan’s expression twitched, a subtle trace of pain flickering across his features, even though he had been bracing for her response.

Edward’s lips tightened, showing he understood. “It’s been two years since you guys broke up. It’s normal to move on.”

Teresa lightened the mood with a teasing smile. “Keep an eye out for any good catches, will you?”

Edward pondered for a moment. “You’re quite a catch yourself, Teresa. I’m sure you won’t struggle to find someone. I’ll consider the guys from my circle.
