The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379

Teresa didiv’t press for details and got ready to leave.

Jennifer stapped her. “I’m good now. Why don’t you have dinner with me before you go

Teresa refused, “No need. Evelyn asked me to bring you this bank card. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come in person. She said the password is your birthday

Jennifer owned. “Take half the money. There’s 300 thousand dollars on the card. Let’s split it.”

Teresa sneered. “No Thanks, I’m not interested in your money”

Jennifer said, “You don’t have to act all high and mighty in front of me I know your company only makes a few million a year, and after expens barely get 300 thousand dollars. Don’t pretend money means nothing to you

“So why are you giving it to me? Because you feel guilty? Or do you think helped you get your happy ending?”

“Think whatever you want. You’re my sister, and more than anyone, I want you to be happy. Like I said, it’s fine if you don’t get me. I know who I care about, and that’s enough”

Teresa was silent for a few seconds before she said, “Treally don’t want the money. It’s unreasonable to share your dowry with me

“You’re about to marry into the Lynn family. We were never close, and we’ll only get more distant from here on out. Let’s just leave it at that.”

“You…” Jennifer sighed, then forced a smile. “How about I set you up with someone? My classmate, Sanford. What do you think?”

Teresa retorted. “Are you nuts, or did you hit your head? I have two kids, you know.”

“I’ll tell him that. You don’t have to mention that you’re pregnant now. Just let him know you have a three–year–old son. One more kid won’t make a difference. I know Sanford. He doesn’t care about it”

Teresa sneered, “Let me get this straight. You want to pawn off on me a guy you wouldn’t date, huh? What do you take me for? No dumping trash on my doorstep.”

thanks. Don’tcome

Teresa slammed the door and left. Jennifer was so angry that her face went pale. She thought. What did she mean? A guy I don’t want? Sanford’s family is great. I just don’t like him; that’s all.”

Teresa got home to find Michael asleep at the table, his head resting on his arms. Spread out in front of him was a drawing–Jonathan in a suit, just like in their family photo

Teresa stared at Michael’s nose, so much like Jonathan’s. That night, she couldn’t sleep. She stepped out onto the balcony for some air, only to catch a glimpse of a familiar Maybach driving away.

She was surprised, not knowing when he’d come by again, or why he left without telling her. On impulse, she ran downstairs, but the Maybach was already gone. Teresa let out a sigh. “Why am I chasing after him like a fool?

The next day was the day Jonathan was leaving Nardigh. Teresa barely slept that night.

Early that morning, she saw a message from him. y flight’s today. I might come back for Donald and Jennifer’s wedding, or maybe not. Otherwise, won’t be back.)

Teresa stared at the message. What time is your flight?) She replied.

Another message from Jonathan popped up/Will you see me off?

Their messages crossed at the same time, Teresa replied with a simple word. (Yeah)

Chapter 379

Jonathan sent Teresa his flight detalls.

Teresa went to the airport, Joristisan didn’t bring too much luggage. Teresa asked where he was headed. “Archule” he answered, “Pater’s over there figured I’d talk some things with him”

“isPeter

“is Peter still single?” Teresa asked

“Now I’m single too. I keep him company,” Jonathan joked,

Teresa couldn’t help but think, Peter’s way older than you. How ridiculous that you want to keep him company

Teresa said, “You should find yourself a new wife, I wasn’t joking at the family dinner. I really hope you meet someone better.”

“I’ll get i

I married when my mom does,” Jonathan said.

“Huh?” Teresa looked up at him, curious.

Jonathan let out a soft laugh. “When my mom gets married, and you do too. Maybe then I’ll get marned.” He smiled when he was speaking, but Teresa could tell he wasn’t joking

The boarding announcement came over the speakers. Teresa urged, “Your flight’s about to leave.”

“Yeah,” Jonathan had already chocked his baggage, so now he’s taking nothing. He put his hands in his pockets, and searched for something. After a few steps, he turned back, pulled out a jewelry box, and opened it.

The ring inside sparkled. Jonathan looked straight at Teresa. “You threw our wedding ring into the river. I always said you were impossible. Back then, I couldn’t afford anything better. Now, take this. We’re really even now.”

Tears welled up in Teresa’s eyes, and she felt choked. He’d probably never known she’d taken that ring out of the river. This is Human–act on impulse, make mistakes, and then regret them

A tear fell onto her shoe and quickly evaporated. She shook her head, regaining her composure. “You’re about to leave. Why are you giving me a ring?!

don’t want it.”

“Take it,” Jonathan said, pressing the ring into her hand. “If you don’t want it, toss it or sell it. Up to you.”

Teresa said, “You can save it for your next proposal”

Jonathan almost gritted his teeth. “When I got remarried, buy my next w

Jonathan’s expression was complicated, She’d accepted the ring, but he wasn’t happy. This wasn’t the ending he’d hoped for when he came back to Narigh. But life never goes as planned.

He couldn’t help but pull her into a tight hug, like it was the last time. His hand rested on her soft waist, holding her close. His face was buried in her fragrant hair.
