Chapter 489
Jonathan took the candy from Michael’s hand and ruffled his hair. “What are you
doing here?”
“I’m here for the food!” Michael replied, nibbling on his finger, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Jonathan.
“Mike, do you remember me?” Irene couldn’t help reaching out to pat Michael’s head.
Michael said, “You’re Mr. Lime’s mom.”
Sherry hurried over and scooped Michael up, looking flustered. She’d just gone to the restroom, and when she came back, he was gone.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Lynn,” Sherry apologized as she carried Michael away.
Irene was still watching Michael. She turned to Jonathan and asked, “Is she Mike’s mom?”
“Yeah,” Jonathan replied, pulling his gaze back to the stage. Irene let out a sigh. Michael was so lively and adorable,and she wished he could be part of the family.
“Seeing other people with kids makes you jealous, right? You should get married and have one,” Irene teased.
Jonathan said, “I’m not jealous.”
“Liar,” Irene said. “You definitely are.”
As she spoke, Irene couldn’t help glancing back. She couldn’t spot which table Michael had gone to. He was out of sight.
Sherry carried Michael back to his seat and breathed a sigh of relief. “Don’t run off like that, or your mom’s going to blame me.”
“Who’s his mom?” a lazy, teasing voice suddenly chimed in.
Sherry looked over warily and saw Sanford’s face. She didn’t know him. At that table, it was just Sherry and Michael, with Sanford sitting right across
from them.
“Hey, little guy, what’s your name? Tell me and I’ll give you some candy,” Sanford said, holding out the sweets.
“No need,” Michael said. “Mom says I can’t take things from strangers.”
Sanford stared at Michael’s delicate face and grinned. “Let me guess. Your mom is Teresa, right? And your dad is—”
Before Michael could answer, Sherry cut Sanford off. “Excuse me, sir, this is my son. Is there something you want?”
“Your son?” Sanford shot back at Sherry. “I just heard what you said. His mom is someone else, right?”
Sherry took a breath, her tone wary. “Who are you, exactly?”
Sanford smiled lightly. “Relax, I’m a friend of the bride. I’m not here to cause any trouble for the newlyweds on such ar know–is his mom Teresa?”
rtant day. I just want to
Sanford had arrived a while ago. He had been watching Jonathan and Irene for quite some time, not really noticing Michael at first. It was only when Michael ran over to talk to Jonathan that Sanford’s attention landed on him.
Michael looked about three, dressed fashionably, with delicate features. It instantly reminded Sanford of the day he saw Teresa holding a child in the
backseat of Jonathan’s car.
Sanford had wondered if Michael was Jonathan’s son, but Jonathan only exchanged a couple of words with Michael, and Irene didn’t react at all. That was why Sanford strolled over to Sherry, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

Sherry stuck to her story. “He’s my son. Since you’re a friend of the bride, you should probably head back to your table, I have a hanges, to planas de make things difficult for me.”
Sanford smirked and reached out to tap Michael’s chin. “See you, little guy. Next time, I’ll bring you a big present.” With that, he finally left
Jonathan followed Teresa’s gaze and caught the silent exchange between her and Sanford. His face darkened, and he picked up a glass of wine, downing. it in one gulp.
The emcee on stage announced, “Next, we have a blessing from one of the bride’s friends. Let’s welcome him to the stage!”
Sanford waved as he walked up, took the microphone, and introduced himself. “I’m the bride’s college classmate and close friend, a witness to her happiness. As her best friend, I wish the newlyweds a lifetime of love and happiness together.”
Jennifer and Donald gave Sanford a gentle smile. Sanford then sang a song. Irene suddenly turned to Jonathan. “I remember you can sing this one too. Honestly, you sing it better than he does.”
Irene’s hurried departure caught Teresa’s eye. Teresa forced herself to look away, determined not to get involved in whatever was going on with Jonathan.
