The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 51

Teresa ended her chat with Miriam, and only after hanging up did she notice the calendar.

Today was November 7th, which meant that Jonathan’s birthday, November 8th, was just around the corner. She hadn’t forgotten: he was about to hit the big three–oh, and he’d crushed his goal.

She was reminded of their wedding day when he’d promised to make hundreds of millions by this age: Back then, she’d brushed it off as just hot air.

Now, he was worth more than just hundreds of millions. Teresa had no idea about the exact number.

Late in the afternoon, her phone rang with a call from a property staff member, who asked her to swing by and collect something.

Teresa locked up and headed downstairs. The property staff member greeted her and said, “It came from the Maybach with the triple sixes on the plate.”

In her arms, Teresa gathered a stack of packages–Yenisville coffee beans, flower–shaped pastries, a silk scarf, and a jewelry box. She quickly asked about the car.

Long gone. It left about thirty minutes ago, the property staff member replied.

“Did he leave a message or anything? Teresa inquired.

“Nope, just told us to give these to you, the staff member whispered. This guy’s a big deal. Who is he to you?”

Teresa pressed her lips together and simply said. “A friend.”

“Ma’am, your friend’s got some serious clout. We were told if he ever shows up, don’t get in his way. I don’t know much, but I’ve seen him lurking around your door a few nights, looking like he’s casing the place, the staff member said.

Teresa stayed quiet, her brows knitting as she thought ‘So Jonathan had been by when I wasn’t around?”

That night, sleep eluded Teresa as she stared at the familiar number, her mind wandering back to their last encounter. He showed up with breakfast, claiming it was for the puppy, and that he went through Nareigh just to get it for her.
