Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386

“Mom, Grandma and Isabel came over. I didn’t want to open the door, but

ut Grandma asked me to do so, so I did,” said Michael,

“Oh, really?” Teresa slowly made her way upstairs. Evelyn and Isabel were already inside,

“Mom” Michael ran over to Teresa, and she held him in her arms, “Grandma said I’ve gotten tater, Michael said.

“Yeah.” Teresa shot Evelyn a questioning look She thought, ‘Didn’t she say she was leaving? Why show up here now?

Evelyn’s eyes were red, like she’d been crying. Something was definitely wrong.

“Mike, can you take Isabel to your room and play? I need to talk to your grandma alone,” Teresa said.

Once the kids were in the room, Teresa closed the door. Evelyn immediately collapsed onto Teresa’s bed, looking completely drained.

“I lost money. A lot of it,” said Evelyn.

Teresa was surprised. “What do you mean?”

That was when Evelyn finally told the whole story. When she came back for Jennifer’s engagement, she invested in some overseas products. She put in all her money, except for Jennifer’s dowry, but lost it all. She even owed over 1 million dollars

She sighed, “I really regret it. Unless I can find Charlie and make him give back everything he took from me, there’s nothing I can do.” Evilyn pulled out a card and handed it to Teresa. “There’s 1.5 million dollars. Take it. This is yours.”

Teresa was stunned, wondering What did she mean? This is for me?”

Evelyn didn’t look at Teresa and just kept talking, “I promised you a dowry. I gave Jennifer hers, so I have to give you yours too. There’s actually another million dollars, but I’ll have to cam that back first.”

Evelyn, usually so loud, could barely get the last part out. Her voice got quieter and quieter.

Teresa could hardly believe it. It was like money falling from the sky. “So you’ve been saving up 2.6 million dollars for my dowry all along?”

Evelyn turned her face away, pursed her lips, and didn’t say a word.

Teresa’s heart warmed and her voice softened. “You worked hard for this money. Keep it. You need it. Be careful and don’t let anyone trick you again. Take your time to get back on your feet. Don’t rush.”

Evelyn said, “The investment manager was a man. I guess I’m just destined to be fooled by men my whole life.

“I booked a flight for tonight. I’m heading to Ferlandia first and then to Elarioa. Once I’ve made back what I lost, come straight back for Isabel.”

Teresa asked, “Come back for Isabel? What’s that supposed to mean?”

Evelyn said, “I can’t take isabel with me now. In Fernlandia, I had a nanny and could watch her, but now I’m rarely home and don’t trust anyone else. You know how to care for kids. I’m leaving Isabel with you.”

Teresa’s face turned cold. “Take your money. I’m not babysitting for you.”

“It’s just for two months at most. Don’t be so heartless, Teresa. Have a little pity on me, will you? really have no one else to turn to but you.”

Evelyn grabbed Teresa’s hand, but Teresa stayed silent, 1.5 million dollars for two months of babysitting. Honestly, it was not a bad deal. That was over 750 thousand dollars a month.

Evelyn hugged Teresa and then suddenly said, “Listen to me. Find someone and get remarried. If it weren’t for his mother, Jonathan would’ve been a great son in–law

Teresa pushed her away. “Mind your own business. Take care of yourself, I’m not seeing you out.”

“I’ll go say goodbye to Isabel before I leave.” Evelyn hugged Isabel, kissed her cheek, and said softly, “Sweetheart, I have to go away for a little while, Stay with Teresa, okay?

“Give me a kiss, honey. That’s my good girl. I will be back soon. I promise.”

Isabel just cried even harder, her voice getting louder, Michael handed her a tissue and said, “Isabel, don’t cry. Mom said Grandma will be back soon.”

Teresa spoke slowly and clearly, “Even if you’re the elder and my son calls you Aunt, this is my house. My rules. If you want to stay here, you need to be polite. Do you understand?”

Two–year–old Isabel couldn’t really understand what was going on, but Teresa’s stern tone scared her. “Teresa, hug…”

“No hugs,” Teresa said, remembering back in Fernlandia when Isabel tore up the autograph Jonathan gave Michael, which made him so upset.

That time, it happened at Evelyn’s house, so Teresa let it go. But now, this was her own home, and she wasn’t about to let her half–sister get away with it.

Isabel did as she was told, rubbed her red, puffy eyes, and stammered out an apology
