Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 433

Chapter 433

Seeing Teresa, Irene couldn’t help but think of Liora, but Jonathan’s situation was nothing like his father’s.

Irene snapped back to herself. “When you married my son, you were the one with money tell me you’re not just after his money.”

Now that he’s made it big. You suddenly want him back? Don’t

Teresa waited for Irene to finish before speaking. “If I cared about whether Jonathan was rich, I wouldn’t have married him in the first place. We were together for over two years, and we really did have feelings for each other. I cared about hirm, too.”

“I don’t see it. If you really cared, you would’ve given my son a child by now,” Irene shot back.

Teresa fell silent again. She glanced at Irene, her fingers tightening, and then turned without a word and went to her car to get the gifts she’d bought especially for Irene.

She lowered her stance and said, “Mrs. Lynn, I know you’ve never been happy with me as your daughter–in–law. You’ve always thought I was cold, that I wouldn’t give your family an heir. If–just if–I could give Jonathan a child now, and try to make up for things, then-”

“Don’t even think about it. I’ll never accept you,” Irene said, every word sharp as a knife. “Jonathan finally divorced you–he deserves someone better You want to give him a child? You don’t even have that right anymore, Teresa. There’ll be a better woman to give Jonathan children.”

Teresa’s face went completely pale.

“I don’t want your things. Take them away,” Irene said impatiently, shoving Teresa’s hand aside. She didn’t care that Teresa nearly stumbled, just brushed right past her.

The gift boxes were scattered all over the ground. Teresa stood frozen, her whole body stiff and cold, her fingers clenched so tightly it hurt.

“And one more thing.” Irene walked a few steps, and then turned back and pointed at Teresa. “This is your last warning. Stay away from Jonathan. Don’t follow him on business trips. If you don’t listen, don’t blame me for what I’ll do.”

With that, Irene walked straight into the villa, slamming the door behind her. The echo of it carried down the driveway.

Night had fallen. The gates of Rosary Estates swung open as a Porsche rolled inside and the engine cut off, leaving Teresa alone in the darkness.

Irene’s cold, cutting words echoed in Teresa’s mind, along with everything Jennifer and Evelyn had said. Overwhelmed, Teresa slammed her fist against the steering wheel, then slumped over it, crying silently.

She wept alone in the quiet, her phone buzzing on silent mode several times. Eventually, even the screen’s glow faded away.

Meanwhile, Michael was sprawled out on the balcony, waiting for Teresa to come home. Every so often, he’d scan the neighborhood with his binoculars, or pull out his phone to try calling her again. Then he heard the sound of the elevator or footsteps in the hallway.

The moment the door opened, Michael dashed over. “Mom, what took you so long? I called you so many times.”

Only then did Teresa pull her phone from her pocket and see all the missed calls–most from Michael, and one from Jonathan.

She let out a tired sigh and gently stroked Michael’s cheek. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. There was a traffic jam, so I got home late. I’m really sorry I made you worry.”

Michael immediately noticed something was off. Seeing her red eyes, he hugged her arm, someone bully you?”

his voice full of concern. “Mom, have you been crying? Did

Teresa took a deep breath and forced a smile. She had to be strong for her child. “Who could possibly bully me?”

“Mom, is Mr. Lime really coming back? Will he really be here for my birthday?“.

Teresa hesitated, her throat tight as she looked at his innocent face. “He will. I promised you, didn’t I? I wouldn’t lie to you

That seemed to reassure him, though he still looked a little worried. “Mom, you’re really okay, right? if anyone bullies you, you have to tell me ficatu police for you.”

She managed a laugh, ruffling his hair. “Thank you, my little hero. But I’m really fine. Let me go change, and then I’ll make us some dinner

Once everything was settled and Michael was finally asleep, Teresa sat alone in her room for a long time. She didn’t know how much time had passed before she finally found the courage to call Jonathan.

She still remembered leaving the rings at the house in Everport. Jonathan had bought that place. When she went back to look for them, he was running a fever. She took care of him, and somehow, they ended up spending the night together again.

She let out a self–deprecating laugh. Just like he once said–every time they went on a business trip, they’d end up in bed, and by morning, it was like they were strangers all over again.

[Teresa, I don’t know what you’re thinking. Do you really have to push things to the breaking point? Think about Mike’s birthday. The whole family can be there for him, except your ex–husband.]
