The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428

After making that promise to Michael, Teresa didn’t say anything else.

The next day, she was getting ready to leave Shaville. She’d actually bought a ticket to go back to Nareigh the day before, but because of a thunderstorm. she had to reschedule her flight.

Jonathan drove her to the airport. His phone kept ringing the whole time, but after picking up once and telling them he’d deal with work later, he hung up and switched his phone to silent.

“If you’ve got work to do, go ahead. I’ll be fine here on my own,” Teresa said.

“Let me know when you arrive. I’m in the middle of an international project, so I’ll have to stay in Shaville for a couple more days,” Jonathan replied.

Teresa nodded. “If you finish up the day after tomorrow, could you come to Nareigh? There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Jonathan looked at her for a moment. “Why can’t you just tell me now?”

“It’s better if we talk in Nareigh. Honestly, I don’t even know how to start.” She wanted to wait for Michael’s birthday, to finally tell Jonathan the secret she’d kept for so long, right in front of “their” son.

Jonathan glanced at his phone. “The day after tomorrow–the 24th?”

“Yeah.” Michael’s birthday was July 25th, but Teresa figured it was better to explain things a day early, so at least Jonathan could spend the next day with

Michael.

She’d already spent many sleepless nights thinking about the fallout. The people who’d be hit hardest were herself, Jennifer, Sherry, and Christian.

Jennifer was already engaged to Donald, who would definitely protect her. Christian’s mother was in the advanced stage of cancer and had been turned away by the hospital. Knowing Jonathan, Teresa was sure that he probably wouldn’t hold it against them.

As for her own responsibility, if Jonathan wanted to hold her accountable, she’d take it all. That was what Teresa thought.

“I’ll do my best to make it back,” Jonathan said, still completely in the dark about what Teresa was planning.

“Alright, see you in two days then.”

Just as Teresa was about to board, Jonathan called out to her, let out a sigh, and suddenly pulled her into a hug. “I just want you to know. I’m not seeing anyone. There’s no one else.”

“I know.” After all, he had searched for her in the pouring rain for over an hour and kissed her the second he saw her at the hotel.

“I don’t get it. Every time I’m on a business trip, we end up in bed together.

“You just have this kind of pull–one minute I hate you and want nothing to do with you, the next I regret it, feel bad for you, and want you in the most basic way.

“Let me ask you–do you still have feelings for me? After everything, after being husband and wife, do I really mean nothing to you?”
