214.Chapter 214
The moment Michael saw his stern aunt, he stopped crying wiped his nose on his sleeve, and clung tightly to Teresa’s arm clearly frightened
Jennifer fixed her gaze on him. “Mike, so you’ve been staying at Mr. Lynn’s house all this time? Come here, I want to ask you something”
*Jennifer, the child is tired. Don’t do this. If you’ve got something to ask, talk to materesa said, instinctively pulling Michael closer, her voice firm as she tried to shield him from Jennifer’s sharp tone.
She comforted Michael, urging him to rest and reassuring him that there was nothing to fear.
Teresa hadn’t expected Jennifer to move back today. She hadn’t even given her a heads up.
Seeing Teresa’s protective stance, Jennifer pressed her lips together but eventually left Michael’s room. Teresa spent a long time calming her son down as he sniffled, his little shoulders trembling
“But Mommy, I didn’t even get to show Mr. Lime my new panda undies. They’re so cute? Michael said, his voice still trembling.
“I’m so sorry, honey. Maybe next time, okay? Mommy’s really, really sorry” Teresa said, lowering her head in guilt.
Seeing his mom so sad, Michael softened. He started to feel bad about throwing a tantrum, his small mind already reflecting on his behavior.
“Mommy, I don’t want to live in a big house anymore. I just want to be with you,” he said, his voice filled with determination.
Teresa hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. I’m so, so sorry.”
The first time she became a mother, Teresa had to figure everything out on her own. Every step felt like a mistake. Michael quickly fell asleep again in Teresa’s arms, his breathing soft and steady.
The weight of everything pressed down on Teresa, leaving her feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
Suddenly, a name popped into her mind–Truman, the psychologist she had once turned to. Maybe he could help her sort through her thoughts again.
Teresa left Michael’s room, only to find Jennifer standing there, her face pale with anger. She was gripping a pregnancy test so tightly it looked like it might snap in half.
Jennifer’s voice was sharp and trembling. “What is this, Teresa?”
“Jennifer, keep your voice down, will you? Mike just fell asleep, and I don’t want him waking up,” Teresa said, her tone tired and pleading.
Jennifer glanced toward Michael’s room, and for a moment, her anger faltered.
She took a deep breath, grabbed Teresa by the arm, and dragged her into her room. After shutting the door, she let out a heavy sigh. “Teresa, let’s talk calmly. Just tell me–are you pregnant again? And is the baby Jonathan’s?”
Teresa frowned, trying to deflect. “Why are you back so suddenly? You didn’t even let me know beforehand.”
But Teresa wasn’t naive.
If she had known Jennifer was coming, she would’ve hidden the pregnancy test better.
“And for the record, I’m not getting an abortion. I’ve decided to keep the baby.”
