The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 96

96.Chapter 96

Teresa said, “If you’re not ready, then we’re not going.”

Michael instantly became anxious. “He invited me! How can I not go? He surely thinks. I’m charming and adorable.”

Teresa pretended to gag. “Narcissist,” she teased. She wondered who he got his

narcissism from, but she was certain it wasn’t from her.

The next day, Teresa unblocked Jonathan. She had initially blocked him when she planned to escape from Nareigh with Michael. However, after continuous calls from friends and learning that he had a fever, she returned with Michael.

Thinking about his fever, Teresa texted: [How are you feeling?]”

Jonathan replied with a question mark and typed: [You took care of me so perfunctorily, yet still managed to run away so early.]

Teresa replied: [As your ex–wife, I’ve shown enough kindness by checking on you. What more do you expect? Ten days or more of care? I have no such obligation.] Jonathan texted back: [You left me a note saying you’ve cooked some pumpkin gruel, but you forgot to turn off the induction cooker. It automatically shut off, the water dried up, and when I checked, everything was burnt. I had to scrub it several times with a steel wool pad.]

Teresa was stunned and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to turn it off. She usually used the rice cooker and rarely the induction cooker, so sometimes she would forget to switch it off.

She replied: [Sorry, I totally forgot. Glad you’re okay now.]

Jonathan didn’t reply. After a few minutes, he sent a message saying he was in a meeting.

Teresa shook her head and thought, ‘The mighty CEO is having a serious meeting. The employees could probably never imagine their boss scrubbing a pot with a steel wool pad at home.‘

In the afternoon, Christian called Teresan to inform her that Jonathan asked him to bring Michael to the company later.

Teresa had already prepared Michael’s outfit for the outing–a brown suede jacket, a black turtleneck sweater, the latest kids‘ jeans, and a pair of white sneakers.

Michael had smooth hair that was easy to style. After washing, a quick blow–dry was enough to perfect the look.

Teresa gently pulled Michael’s ear and whispered, “Let me remind you of a few things, just between us…”

While listening, Michael responded eagerly, “Got it, got it. Understood!”

Afterward, she took Michael to Sherry’s place. Then, Christian brought him to the company, which was quite a detour.

After finishing his meeting, Jonathan saw Michael in the office. Michael happily greeted him, “Mr. Daddy Lime!” Jonathan’s heart immediately softened.

Michael usually looked handsome, but he was even more striking that day. Jonathan patted his hair and said, “You look great today.”

Michael replied proudly, “Mom dressed me up this way.”

“Well, your mom has a good sense of fashion,” Jonathan praised. It wasn’t flashy or overly colorful. If Jonathan had a child, he would also prefer simple, fashionable, and

neat attire.

“Mr. Daddy Lime, have you recovered from your cold?” Michael asked with concern.

Jonathan snapped back to reality and smiled slightly. He believed it must have been Christian who told Michael about his cold. “I’m all better now. Thank you for your concern,” he replied.

After work, Jonathan carried Michael and took the exclusive elevator for the CEO
