Chapter 348
Rebecca was still worried about Teresa.
She thought it would be hard for Teresa, a single woman with two sons, to get married again. It was very exhausting to raise two kids. But that was not something she could help with.
Rebecca went back to work.
After the parental checkup, Teresa had no choice but to buy a plane ticket. The Teresouth Group’s new product launch event for the second half of the year was around the corner, so the company needed her.
She felt like everything was happening all at once, forcing her to be as fast and efficient as possible.
That was just how life went–when one was free, one was totally free, but once one became busy, everything came at the same time. Teresa started packing.
Soon, she was ready to go back to Nareigh. Michael was in high spirits, jumping around and even helping Teresa with the luggage.
“Mom,” he looked up at Teresa and asked, “is Mr. Lime coming with us too?”
“He…” Teresa paused for a moment and then said, “I’m not sure. I’ll ask him after I finish packing.”
Even after Teresa finished packing, Michael was still thinking about Jonathan. He kept asking her when she was going to call Jonathan.
Teresa fished out her phone, but before she could call Jonathan, Jennifer’s name popped up on the screen.
Jennifer said, “All packed? Let Miriam take Mike back first. You two should leave separately, okay?”
Teresa replied coldly, “No need.”
Jennifer insisted on it. “Just believe me. Donald said his cousin was still in Everport. He might show up at your place. Just send Mike back first. It’s only a day’s difference.”
“I’ll ask Mike.” Teresa said, glancing at Michael, “We’ll talk about it later.”
Miriam was back.
Miriam looked absolutely terrible. On the way back with Edward, they ran into Irene.
Irene, who was Edward’s aunt, thought Miriam looked familiar. Edward introduced Miriam to her as Teresa’s friend.
Irene was shocked and immediately became excited. “Edward, are you out of your mind? What is wrong with you guys? Are there no other women left in the world? You’re dating your cousin’s ex–wife? Does your mom know this?”
Edward said, “No, Mom doesn’t know it yet. Miriam and I really love each other.”
Irene said, “This is not right. Let me call your mom/right now.”
Edward begged her. “Aunt Irene, please don’t. Miriam and I are leaving now.”
Edward grabbed Miriam’s arm and ran away, without looking back, no matter how loudly Irene shouted after them.
Irene shouted, “Edward, you’d better break up with her! Do you hear me?”
Even though they were far away from her, they could still hear her yelling.

Chapter 348
That was what Miriam had just gone through. She told Teresa everything about it.
Teresa had a headache. “See? With Irene around, you and Edward will not have any peace.”
Miriam said, “Keep this from Jonathan. This time, I’m totally on your side. If his mom finds out about Mike, she’ll probably lose her mind. I don’t know what she’d do. She is unhinged. She’s been a widow for years, so her hormones must be crazy. She’s got major issues.”
Miriam was annoyed by Irene.
“I can’t stay here anymore,” Teresa said. “Irene’s here. Now my sister knows where I live. I have to go back to flareigh.”
This time, Miriam agreed with Jennifer’s suggestion and decided that Jennifer should take Michael back to Nareigh first.
Miriam crouched down to talk to Michael. “Come on, Mike, come with me. I’ll take you back to Nareigh first. We’ll go to the amusement park, okay?”
But Michael shook his head, hugging Teresa tightly. “No, I want to be with Mommy.”
Miriam tried to coax him. “Your mom will be with you soon. We’ll go back first and clean up the old house. Guess what? Edward will be there too. We’ll go back together.”
Hearing Edward’s name, Michael relaxed a little. He really liked Edward a lot.
“Edward is going back with us too, Mommy?” Michael looked up at Teresa. “Really?”
The young man replied, “No, no, not at all.”
