The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 66

Teresa pulled up to the gates of Rosary Estates, and her tears finally dried. Thanks for everything,” she said to Truman. “What were you doing at that restaurant?”

Truman’s eyes flickered for a moment. “I was just passing by. I saw you and your dad, and when you didn’t come out, I got worried”

Teresa didn’t want to dig deeper. “I can handle it from here. You don’t have to walk me ini

“Alright, just take care of yourself and don’t overthink things. Truman replied, watching Teresa as she walked away before he turned back

After grabbing her car keys at home, Teresa drove to find Miriam.

At that moment, Michael was still in his drawing class, so Teresa asked Sherry to pick him up.

Once at Miriam’s place, Teresa sat in silence, sipping her drink alone.

It wasn’t until she felt a little tipsy that she finally opened up to Miriam about how Philip had betrayed her for money, showing he didn’t care about anything else.

Miriam was shocked at how low Philip had sunk. Even though he wasn’t a fan of kids, Teresa was still his own flesh and blood.

“You still have me,” Miriam said, pulling Teresa into a comforting hug. Tll always be here for you.”

Teresa clung to Miriam, tears streaming down her face silently.

“I just don’t get it. Why would he trust some outsider to invest 1.5 million in him but not his own daughter? Does he really think I’m that useless?” “Teresa wiped her tears away, frustration creeping into her voice.

“Not everyone deserves to be a father. A man who cheats isn’t exactly a stand–up guy,” Miriam said, shaking her head.

‘How could he care about his own daughter? He just used her to get 1.5 million. What a disgrace! You won’t find a worse dad in all of Narcigh, Miriam thought, feeling even more sympathy for Teresa.

That night, Teresa stayed at Miriam’s place, her phone on silent. When she finally turned it on, she saw a bunch of missed calls from Jonathan and a text. Where are you?) But Teresa wasn’t in the mood to reply

Just then, Miriam knocked on the guest room door. “Jonathan called me. He’s downstairs and wants to see you”

Teresa got up and peeked through the curtains on the fifth floor at Miriam’s place. She spotted Jonathan’s car. He was looking up at the windows with his phone in his hand until their eyes met.
