Chapter 364
“Don’t worry about her,” Teresa said, hugging him. “There are so many people who love my little muffin, and that’s all that matters.”
After cheering him up, Teresa brought Michael along to the office today.
After parking in the B2 underground lot, she took the elevator straight up to her office and told Michael to be good and wait there. She had a meeting to
attend.
“Mommy, am I still going to preschool?” wondered Michael.
“Of course you are,” Teresa said. “I’ll think about which preschool is best for you. Let’s wait until after your third birthday, and when fall comes, you can start again, okay?”
Back in Everport, Michael had actually started preschool before he even turned three, since they made an exception for him.
Michael let Teresa squish his cheeks, put his hands on his hips, and huffed, “You have to buy me a cake for my birthday this time! I want chocolate.”
“Alright,” Teresa couldn’t help but laugh.
She went off to a meeting. Not long after, the receptionist came over and said, “Ms. Johnston, Jennifer is here to see you.”
Teresa’s face instantly darkened. “I’m not seeing her. Tell her to leave.”
The receptionist added, “She said she wants to talk to you about her marriage.”
Teresa paused. “Let her wait in the lounge on the second floor.”
“If you’ve got something to say, just say it. Are we sticking to our deal or not?” said Teresa.
Jennifer finally cut to the chase. “I heard from Donald’s mom that she called you. She even asked me if you’re playing stepmom now. I’m guessing she must’ve heard Mike’s voice in the background.”
Teresa started to lose her cool. “Yeah, Mike called me ‘Mom‘ and Mrs, Lynn overheard it.”
Jennifer nodded. “I told her you don’t have any kids and are just looking after a friend’s kid. Relax. I’ve got you covered.”
Teresa curled her lips in a mocking smile. ‘Indeed. With a sister like this, what’s there to be afraid of?‘ she thought to herself.
Jennifer switched topics. “I’m getting engaged.”
Teresa nodded. “Yeah, Mrs. Lynn mentioned it. She hopes I’ll come to your engagement party and have a meal with both families.”
Jennifer sighed, leaning back in her chair. “Honestly, it’s mostly Hayden’s idea. He wants you there. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care if you came or not.”
Teresa’s face was blank. “I’m not going. Don’t worry. already said I’m not showing up at these kinds of things.”
Jennifer saw the sarcasm in Teresa’s eyes. “Are you mad I didn’t tell you about the engagement? I just figured there’s no point. If you arene end up clashing again, it’s not worth it.”
“Yeah, if I ruin your engagement party, I’ll be the villain for the ages. Better if I just stay away,” sneered Teresa.
Jennifer shook her head. “Girl, ruining my engagement isn’t the main thing. I’m just worried Irene might give you a hard time.”
mom?” said Teresa.
