Chapter 487
Teresa gave a soft hum.
Yesterday, after Jennifer left, Donald actually called Teresa.
He’d booked a five–star hotel and told Teresa, “Jennifer’s going from the hotel to the wedding.”
“Okay,” Teresa replied calmly.
She hadn’t planned to lend Jennifer the house and have the groom pick her up there.
“Teresa, one more thing. At the wedding, could you sing a song for Jennifer? She really loves an old song called At Least I Still Have You. If you sing it for her, she’d be really happy.
“Please,” Donald begged on the phone.
Teresa’s mind came back and she looked at Jennifer in her white wedding dress.
Jennifer looked back. Their fight and arguments from yesterday, plus Teresa’s sharp words, were still clear in her mind.
Jennifer hadn’t slept all night. She thought Teresa wouldn’t show up today.
But surprisingly, Teresa did. There was a hint of emotion and relief in Jennifer’s eyes.
Teresa’s phone rang. Evelyn said, “I’m with Isabel and can’t come over. Isabel and I are heading straight to the hotel for the meal. You stay and keep your sister company, okay?”
“Oh,” Teresa answered coldly.
“The wedding’s a big deal with so many eyes on us. No matter what, we can’t let people make fun of us. You get what I mean, right, Teresa?” Evelyn said.
Teresa stayed cold, “I’m not a kid. Don’t worry about me.”
After she hung up, another bridesmaid showed up shortly after.
“Jennifer, I’m late. Traffic was bad,” said the newcomer. It was Rebecca, Jennifer’s senior from Everport.
Rebecca took a day off from the hospital just to be Jennifer’s bridesmaid.
After saying hi to Teresa, Rebecca pulled her into a private room.
Rebecca checked Teresa out. She wore a loose beige blouse and a light pink long tulle skirt. Teresa rarely wore skirts that long, down to her ankles. Before pregnancy, she usually wore pleated or pencil skirts.
“Your belly’s not obvious yet. You can’t really tell in that,” Rebecca said.
“Posterior wall pregnancy,” Teresa replied.
Rebecca sighed. “Your sister told me the baby’s dad’s a jerk.”
“She is ” Teresa was speechless. She thought of Evelyn’s words and took a deep breath. “Rebecca, can we not talk about my baby?”
“Alright, fine. You’re going through a lot alone/You should find a good guy and get married again soon,” Rebecca said.
Teresa didn’t say more,
Rebecca didn’t push and went to find Jennifer.

Chapter 487
Miriam asked Teresa in a gossiping tone, “You know this bridesmaid?”
“We knew each other back in Everport,” Teresa said.
Teresa reached out and touched Miriam’s dress. “That purple really suits you.”
Miriam smiled. “It’s oks
but it’s not as nice as that starry blue dress I wore when I were your bridesmaid.”
Teresa stayed quiet. The past was gone. Nothing was left to say.
Miriam leaned in close and whispered to Teresa, “Hey, what about Michael? Who’s watching him today?”
Teresa said, “Sherry got back to me. I told her to take Michael to the hotel to grab some food.”
Miriam was surprised. “Wow, you’re really bold letting Michael go to your sister’s wedding.”
Teresa shrugged. “There were over thirty tables of guests. It’s fine. He really wanted to go, so I told Sherry to have Michael sit on the side.”
The hotel entrance was buzzing. Donald, in a black suit, came with the groomsmen to pick up the bride. The bridesmaids started causing trouble. One bridesmaid noticed Edward was good–looking and asked him to take off his shirt and do one–handed push–ups.
Teresa looked at the turquoise bracelet. Jennifer explained it was a gift from Genevieve.
Jennifer said, “She didn’t want to come out. When I visited her, she gave me this bracelet. If you like it, it’s yours.”
