Chapter 110
“I heard that girls like these.” Theresa was shocked when she heard what he said. She was the mother of two children, but he said she was a girl! How ridiculous! However, she was more surprised than ridiculous. She looked at Charlie, “You didn’t make it for me, did you?”
“It’s a piece of cake if you like it. As my woman, I don’t want to see you unhappy!” Theresa stared at the man in the wheelchair, a little dumbfounded. She had just been thinking about Leonard and Ben. Now, seeing everything that the man had prepared for her, she was flattered. Her life had been all about her kids since she became a mother. She had never loved herself, nor spoiled herself. She felt that she had grown up. But in front of him, at this moment, she seemed to have changed back to the child who had been spoiled. Theresa looked down at the shadow at her feet.
Charlie reached over and said, “Theresa.” She looked at him, his long and clean fingers stretched out in front of her. Seeing that she was unmoved and so confused, Charlie moved his wheelchair and held her hand. His palm was hot. Theresa wondered, “We are just a fake marriage. Why are you doing this?”
So what? Life is always real. You can’t return every minute or second you spend. Don’t always keep a stiff face, okay?”
Theresa looked at Charlie and smiled. She looked up at the sky. The fireworks that had just stopped were rekindled. She forgot how long it had been since she had stopped to feel every moment of her life. She had liked to fantasize and dream, but the old self had been buried in the failed marriage by Jimmy in the past. Charlie stayed with Theresa for a while, and Jonathan came over and bowed his head. “Master Charlie, you are wanted on the phone.” Then Charlie went back to his room with Jonathan. The fireworks soon ended. Theresa was about to go back to think about the children when she saw them coming. They had been in the front yard, and now were in the back yard. At the sight of Theresa, they ran over like crazy. They had known Theresa was there, but they didn’t expect to finally see her now. How could they not be excited?
As soon as Leonard ran over, he gave Theresa a hug just like every time she came home. He had been thinking about his mother all day, and now he finally saw her. Naturally, he was very happy. At the moment when Leonard hugged her, Theresa felt her heart that had been holding for a whole day was finally relieved. Leonard held her and whispered, “Mom, I miss you.” Theresa had been worried all day. Her tears almost fell when she was held by the child. She squatted down and looked at Leonard and Ben. “Did you two just cry?” They cried for a long time, which kept her distracted.
They don’t allow me to see you, mom, do you not want us?” Ben asked. “What silly words. Why doesn’t mom want you?”
Then shall we go home?”
