ahowned, “What are you insumbling about?”
Sanford rubbed a napkin between his fingers. “Just thinking about my mom. She wasn’t exactly a knockout, but i for a totally blind man ”
“Wait, your dad’s blind?” Teresa looked confused.
“No.” Sanford chuckled at her. “I mean he was a scumbag,”
Teresa nodded. “So you take aher your dad,
Sanford shot her a look. “Do you know why my name is Sanford Thomas?”
“I’m not your mom or dad, how would I know? Teresa took a sip of water and then put some food on Isabel plate
By the end of the meal, Sanford agreed to help Teresa look after Isabel.
Teresa’s expression softened. “I’ll go pay. This one’s on me
Sanford took Isabel from her arms. “Alright, sure.”
He played with the little girl in his arms. “So your name’s Isabel, right? Is it Isabel Lynn or Isabel Johnston
Isabel didn’t get it and just shook her head.
Sanford sighed, “Poor kid, you really take after your grandma. What a shame. Your mom’s got such good
Isabel seemed to realize he was calling her ugly. She grabbed the spoon from the table and gave Sanford’s head a few solid taps.
By the time Teresa came back from paying, Isabel had already been completely won over by the chocolates and candy Sanford gave her. She waved at
Teresa and said. “Bye.“”
Teresa said, “Take good care of Isabel, if she gets even a scratch while I’m gone, you won’t have to worry about me. Jennifer will beat you up first.”
Sanford nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll wait for you. But you have to promise to marry me, okay?”
Teresa didn’t answer. After she left, the photographer who’d been hiding nearby handed Sanford the photos from dinner.
Sanford looked through the pictures, picking out a few that didn’t show Isabel, just shots of him serving Teresa food or Teresa smiling at him. The photos could easily be misunderstood.
He told the photographer to drop the photos off anonymously at the Horiconlead Group reception, but to make sure to mention Teresa’s name to the
receptionist.
Honestly, he could have exposed isabel right then and there. But he remembered the promise he’d made to Jennifer. He wouldn’t do anything to hurt
heror Teresa
Sanford left with Isabel in his arms and made a call. “Hey, Justin. It’s Sanford, I’m in Nareigh, Are you still working in DNA testing” double. I need an urgent DNA test.”
Then he put Teresa’s used coffee cup and a lock of Isabel’s hair in the trunk, and tested his friend

“I’m coming over now. Can you check if these two are related? I don’t have time to pick up the test report, just mail it to me,” said Sanford,

Chapter 388
Benny spotted Teresa’s latest post on Facebook
Right before she boarded her flight, he commented, “Off to Suica? I think Jonathan’s there too
Teresa’s mind was spinning with all sorts of thoughts. The flight felt endless, and because of him, she just couldn’t settle down. She pulled a notebook from her bag and started writing
When she finally snapped out of it, she realized she’d filled an entire page with the name Jonathan, and had even doodled a few limes next to it.
After arriving at her destination, Teresa checked into the hotel for her business trip, sat down her suitcase, and got herself settled. She would meet her
It was July, and everyone on the street was in short sleeves. As she wandered through unfamiliar roads, Teresa couldn’t help but laugh at herself, wondering, “What exactly am i so restless about?
‘First off, there’s no way I’d run into Jonathan. Even if he’s still in Strico, it’s not like we’re in the same part of town. With so many people here, if we were really meant to meet, would we keep hurting each other like this?
As she walked, Teresa somehow found herself inside a bar. She took a seat at the counter, asked for the menu, and ordered a cup of coffee.
“I can’t handle alcohol, Teresa said, feeling a wave of frustration just thinking about it. “Just coffee, please.”
