Back when they were in Nareigh, Jonathan used to drive over to Rosary Estates to see her all the time. But now, she had already left Nareigh and just wanted to live on her own. Still, his Maybach was there.
After Teresa changed her clothes, she headed downstairs. Jonathan was still asleep in the car, eyes closed. It wasn’t until she knocked on the window that he finally woke up.
He hadn’t slept this well in ages. Curled up in the car, he had actually managed to get a full night’s sleep. He rolled down the window.
Teresa asked, “Why are you here so early? Is there something else you need?”
Your shirt,” Jonathan said, handing her the bag.
Teresa took the bag with the shirt inside. “You can go now. Don’t block the road here.”
Jonathan frowned. Her impatience made him fully wake up. “There’s one more thing I forgot to say yesterday.”
“What is it?” Teresa’s heart clenched a little.
“Cheryl told me about selling your place,” Jonathan said.
“The person who bought your house is Cheryl’s classmate. The buyer gave Cheryl the final payment and Cheryl wants to give you the money. But she hasn’t been able to reach you.”
Teresa let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried he would find out about the baby, and it really scared her. “Just let Cheryl keep it.”
She figured Cheryl’s baby bump must be pretty obvious by now and Cheryl shouldn’t be short on cash. Teresa always saw Cheryl as a little sister.
Jonathan was insistent. “That money belongs to you. Let me add you as a friend so I can transfer the money to you.”
Teresa had a new account, registered with her Everport number, and she barely used her old account anymore. But there was no way she was adding Jonathan as a friend. “I’ll send you my payment code.”
Since they weren’t contacts, Jonathan couldn’t send that much money. He said, “You can just add me, get the money, then delete me if you want.”
“Let’s do that,” Teresa said, not wanting to drag this out. She accepted his friend request.
She never thought the first person she’d add on her new account would be her ex–husband. She couldn’t help but glance at him again as he started the transfer.
Jonathan sent the money, and Teresa accepted it. She said, “Alright, you can go now.”
“Let me treat you to a meal,” Jonathan changed the subject, his tone gentle.
Teresa shook her head firmly. She didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes. “No need. If you have anything else to say, just say it now.”
She added, “If there’s anything left between us, let’s settle it all at once. If not, then that’s it. I really enjoy living on my own these days, and I don’t want anyone interfering.
“And please, don’t tell anyone where I live. Not even my family. I’d really appreciate it.”
When she finished, Jonathan’s face turned cold. “So in your eyes, I’m just someone who can’t keep his mouth shut?”

Teresa said, “Does it even matter? I’m doing great here. My life’s peaceful, and I’m happy. Can you just leave?”
She had picked a city he never thought she’d choose. Everport wasn’t as developed as Nareigh, but Jonathan could understand why she came here.
“Hey Teresa, are you doing okay after yesterday?” It was Ivy, the teacher who lent her a jacket.
