Chapter 205
Cristina paused and laughed. “Don’t tell me you are getting jealous?” She sat down and rested her arm on
Theresa’s shoulder.
Theresa snapped, “Hell no!”
“I’m just being so glad for you!” Cristina said. “Just look at Jimmy’s mother. I’m so thrilled to see her fly off
the handle! She was that aggressive in the beginning, and just ended up as timid as a rabbit!”
“So you just have to be formidable enough to break free from the bully.” Theresa exclaimed.
“Touche!” Cristina then felt her dislike for Charlie was abating, “I now begin to wonder if I criticized Charlie.
too harshly this morning?”
“Oh you finally realized that!” Theresa was glad that there were moments when Cristina was sane and
rational.
“Shall I make an apology to me?” Cristina wondered.
“That’s a good idea.” nodded Theresa.
“Ok, I’ll get it done right now.” Cristina rose to her feet resolutely. She blamed Charlie in the morning only
because she thought he wasn’t treating Theresa well enough. But what he did at supper had got Cristina to
change her opinion of him.
At that moment, Charlie was in his study, and Cristina walked in.
“Get out!” Charlie’s face darkened when he saw the comer clearly. Cristina had become a sore to him now,
especially when he was still nursing the grudge for the words she had flung to him in the morning.
Charlie was about to get someone to drive Cristina out, when she made a bow to him, “I’m sorry.”
