Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 149

149 Chapter 149

149.Chapter 149

Just the day before, Jennifer had said something odd. “Don’t stress over the health indicators. As long as Mike is healthy and not sick, he’s fine. You were a small, skinny child too, and look at you now, all grown up and thriving.”

Teresa had dismissed it, chalking it up to Jennifer having one too many drinks and rambling nonsense. After all, how could Jennifer possibly know anything about her childhood?

Miriam chose not to comment further about Jennifer and instead explained the reason for her visit. “I actually came to borrow your car for a few days. Edward’s fallen ill, and since my Volkswagen CC is in for maintenance, I need a car to get around and take care of him.”

“How are things going with Edward?” Teresa asked.

“Not bad,” Miriam replied. “We had dinner and watched a movie a few days ago. I was planning to invite him on a trip down south, but when I texted him about it, he said he‘ d caught a cold and couldn’t make it. So, I thought I’d check in on him instead.”

“You’re such a hopeless romantic.” Teresa shook her head. “Maybe he just doesn’t want to go out with you and made up an excuse.”

Miriam sighed. “He wouldn’t fake being sick, would he? Besides, I don’t care. I like him, so I’m going to see him anyway. Plus, I could visit my aunt and uncle while I’m at it.”

“Don’t use your aunt and uncle as an excuse. I swear, you’re hopeless.” Teresa rolled her eyes.

“Fine, fine! I’m a hopeless romantic. Happy now?” Miriam retorted.

Although Teresa found Miriam’s eagerness in chasing after Edward a bit much, she still handed over her car keys. After all, they were best friends, and Miriam had been there for her countless times. Teresa reminded Miriam to drive safely.

Miriam offered to refuel the car, but Teresa said she had just filled it up two days ago.

After Miriam left, Jennifer came out to set up the table. “Why didn’t you ask her to stay for dinner?!

“She has some business at home,” Teresa replied.

“It’s nice having a friend who knows you well, someone you can talk to when you’re feeling down,” Jennifer remarked.

“Yeah,” Teresa agreed while helping Jennifer, Curious, she asked, “Don’t you have any friends?”

Successfully unlocked!

“There’s this guy that I’m close Wareigh; he’s in Shaville. We wer university classmates and we still keep in touch sometimes,” Jennifer replied.

“That’s nice. Ever thought about taking it beyond friendship?” Teresa teased.

Jennifer shook her head with a soft chuckle. “We’re just friends–nothing more. There‘ s no romantic spark between us. Honestly, it’s hard to find someone who makes you heart skip a beat.”

She spoke indifferently about romantic relationships, yet her thoughts betrayed her. They drifted to a familiar face; someone younger, dressed in a white coat, with a warm smile.

She quickly shook off the thought, determined not to let him linger in her mind.

“How can I be attracted to the cousin of my sister’s ex–husband? I need to put an end to these feelings right away, thought Teresa.

A few days flew by, and soon it was January 9th. Nareigh was blanketed in heavy snow, far more than usual.

As Teresa got up that morning, she commented to Jennifer about the peculiar weather. “Just last week, it was warm enough to think winter was easing up, and now this. Snow again, and even heavier this time.”

Jennifer said, “Bundle up, or you’ll catch your death!”

Teresa replied, “You too. Don’t fall sick.”

All right, Jennifer nodded. “You mentioned craving lamb chops yesterday, so I’ll stop by the grocery store after work and make lamb chops for dinner.”

“You’re the best. I weighed Michael today, and he’s gained two pounds!” Teresa smiled.

“You need to put on some weight, too,” said Jennifer.

Shortly after, Jennifer left for the hospital. On the way, she sent a text to Teresa: [The roads are very slippery today. I’ve already seen several accidents. Be careful if you’re going out.]

Teresa texted back: [Okay, you drive safely too. I’m heading out in the afternoon. I’ll probably call a taxi.]

Not long after, Michael woke up.

Later in the afternoon, Teresa saw a message from Jonathan: [Is it snowing in Nareigh?
