Chapter 610

Jonathan reached out and gently scratched Teresa’s nose. “Smart,” he said.

Teresa’s face grew complicated. She asked, “Does Donald know about this?”

Jonathan said, “No, he doesn’t. I only found out after running the DNA test for Sanford and Werner.”

Teresa said, “So right now, only you and Werner know. Cheryl doesn’t know either, right? And Grandpa? He still thinks Sanford is your dad’s son

Jonathan nodded. “Sort of. There’s one more person who knows—Cathy.”

Teresa’s heart sank. That had to be a huge shock for Cathy. Secrets never stay hidden. If Donald finds out the truth about Sanford, Jennifer will too. Teresa wondered if Jennifer would still want to be friends with Sanford after that.

She snapped back to reality and asked Jonathan, “So you called me out this late just to tell me this?”

Jonathan said, “I just got back from Shaville. I stopped by the office to take care of some things. Tomorrow morning, I have to fly back to Shaville. The situation isn’t settled yet.”

Teresa quietly said, “Okay.” She didn’t know what she was feeling. She frowned. Jonathan reached out and smoothed the crease in her brow, pulling her into his arms again with a deep sigh.

“You know, the first person I wanted to tell when I found out Sanford isn’t my dad’s son was you,” he said.

Teresa was silent for a moment, and then asked softly, her voice a bit hoarse, “Why?”

Jonathan said, “I want you to know everything about me. I get that my dad’s generation has grudges that hurt a lot of innocent people.

“On the surface, Sanford is innocent. He’s not my dad’s kid, but his mom gave him that name and caused him years of pain.”

Teresa stayed quiet and just let Jonathan hold her. Her voice grew rough and heavy as she said, “Yeah, you’re right. Adult grudges shouldn’t drag kids into it. Kids don’t deserve that.”

Jonathan slowly let go of her and noticed the light in her eyes shift. He raised his eyebrows and studied her face carefully. “Do you want to tell me something?” he asked.

“Nothing important. Let’s wait until you finish handling your family stuff,” she said.

“What is it? Tell me now.” His gaze burned even hotter as he stared at her.

Teresa hesitated for a few seconds. It wasn’t anything urgent. She decided to wait until Jonathan finished dealing with his family stuff.

“Okay, then let me ask. Does it have something to do with me?” Jonathan asked.

“Kind of,” Teresa replied.

Jonathan frowned. “Alright. Sounds like it’s not good. Maybe you shouldn’t say it now.”

Teresa sighed quietly. Jonathan had an early flight the next day. He said he wasn’t going to sleep tonight and planned to nap at the airport for a few hours. Teresa said she would drive him, but Jonathan said it wasn’t necessary.

Teresa insisted on driving him anyway. After all it was just a few hours before dawn. “Wait for me. I’m going to lock the door,” she said.

She went upstairs and found Michael still asleep in his room. She covered him with a blanket and kissed his forehead. “Honey, give me a little more time, okay?”

Teresa gently closed the door and took Jonathan to the airport. His flight was at 5:30 a.m., and he had a first–class ticket. They got to the airport around

Teresa asked if he wanted to wait inside the terminal, but Jonathan said, “Let’s wait in the car. I don’t like those waiting room chairs for hele ka and adjusted the seat. “You can stay here with me and rest a bit.”

Teresa said, “Okay, you get some sleep. I’m not tired.”

Jonathan said nothing. He held her hand and quickly fell asleep. Holding his hand made her a little uncomfortable, but she didn’t want to move and has waking him.

He had been rushing between flights and looked worn out. She felt sorry for him but kept quiet. She just quietly cared for him. After Jonathan boarded Teresa left. She was also tired.

When she got home, she collapsed onto her bed. If she hadn’t felt the baby kick, she probably wouldn’t have eaten at all. She ate a little to keep the baby fed and then fell asleep again.

At the hospital, Liora hadn’t slept for more than a day. She kept waiting for Sanford to come back. Time blurred. Dawn finally broke when Sanford showed up.

He sat on the edge of the bed and held Liora’s cold hand. “Mom, have you eaten? Your hands are so cold.”

Liora gently touched his face. She could see he looked worn out after just one night. “I can’t eat when you’re not here. You’ve got the DNA test result? You know now, don’t you?”
