Chapter 654

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she sat on the balcony, trying to compose herself. Watching the sun go down, she knew she’d already missed the best chance to make everything clear.

She thought, ‘It was all my fault. I have to bear the consequences”

She didn’t want to distract Jonathan while his grandfather was sick, so she remained silent.

Teresa thought bitterly, “Who am to cry? I could have imagined how nonchalant he would be

“He didn’t want me to stay, so he didn’t even want to talk to me

“When he wanted me to stay, he always brushed aside whatever I said. But this time, he walked away without a backward glance, so he would never me to stay.

‘Fine. I’ll accept whatever comes my way. It doesn’t matter anymore!

Teresa pulled herself together and went to the kitchen to cook. She thought she’d hidden all traces of tears, but Michael still spotted her red eyes.

Michael asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong? You’ve been crying a lot lately.”

Teresa thought to herself, ‘It’s true. I’ve been crying a lot privately. I don’t know if I’m worn out because I’m pregnant, or because there was so much happening

Teresa wiped away her tears and teased, “Son, you wanna go away

with me?”

Michael tilted his head in confusion as he munched on the potato Teresa cooked. “Mommy, what do you mean? Are we going on a trip?”

Teresa pinched Michael’s cheek and said gently, “You could see it that way. Do you want to go with me?”

Michael nodded and said, “Wherever you go, I’m going too. I won’t leave you.”

“Fine, sweetheart. I won’t leave you either,” Teresa said softly.

After Michael fell asleep, Teresa folded his clothes and placed the dutfit Michael would be wearing tomorrow on the bedside table.

Watching Michael’s sleeping face, Teresa gently stroked his check. She was determined to tell no one about her departure this time

Teresa thought, ‘Every time I ran away before, it was never my choice.

The first time, I left because Jennifer forced me to go with her. In the end, Jennifer decided to stay.

‘The second time, Michael clashed with Isabel, and Evelyn completely disregarded his feelings. Furious, I took him and let Fernlandia for Everport

“Everything in the past was still so vivid to me.

“Every time I left, it was because of my family, never because of Jonathan.

‘It had been several months since I returned to Nareigh

“I thought I was born in Nareigh. Once I came back, I’d never leave again

‘This time, I don’t walk out because of anyone else. I leave because of Jonathan

Jennifer was tired of his silent treatment. The moment they arrived home, Jennifer ripped off her coat and said loudly, “I bar, I have nothing to do with

Gary.

Ever since I found out he’s your dad’s son, I’ve cut him off. He’s just a bastard.”

“What the hell are you saying?” Jenisiter said sharply.

Jennifer couldn’t stand being smeared like this,

“You think I don’t know that? Have you ever thought about me?” said Donald.

“He came at me. I was furious, so –“Jennifer couldn’t find the right words to say. Utterly frustrated, she thought, “I have no choice but to swallow the bitterness in silence.”

“You two had no grudges. What did he come at you for? Donald said aggressively.

Jennifer said sharply, “This is my private business. You have no right to ask.

Donald demanded angrily, “I have no right to ask?”

Donald felt his heart broken.

“Jennifer, you’re my wife, and he’s my father’s illegitimate son. You made a scene with him in the hospital hallway, right in front of those gossiping

Donald waited and waited, but Jennifer still said nothing

Donald thought, ‘All I want is an explanation. But you offer nothing but silence.

Finally, Jennifer broke her silence.
