Chapter 260
While everyone around had gussied themselves up. Theresa was still wearing the ordinary dress, which, though, couldn’t prevent her from emerging as the most impressive one among the crowd. Though she had left the guest room crying, she now seemed much more cheerful. Charlie just found his tension alleviated at the sight of her softly smiling eyes, which he had grown quite fond of now.
Having perceived the gaze from above, Theresa looked up to Charlie. And Charlie just looked away immediately. True as it was that he adored Theresa, he just couldn’t get rid of the sense of humiliation she gave him. He still remembered how she wept when he kissed her, and that just made him resentful as he regarded her reaction as a sort of indignity.
When Theresa could see Charlie clearly enough, he was already switched his stare at Sarah from Theresa. He just appeared so grim and gloomy. When Theresa turned to Sarah, Sarah was pressing herself against another man, either showing off to Charlie or really being intimate. Theresa thus drew a conclusion that Sarah really weighed a lot in Charlie’s heart, judging from his expression. She just couldn’t understand why he refused to divorce since he loved Sarah so much.
“Hello, Dr. Hill!” Mrs. Calsis hailed.
Theresa looked back to the auditorium, just to find Roderick Hill was joining them, alongside his sister Daphne Hill. As they
sat down next to Theresa, Roderick exclaimed, “Fancy that, Theresa!”
Theresa was embarrassed. She only wished Charlie wouldn’t mistake her this time, as she just didn’t want her own family to be persecuted again because of the conversation between Roderick and her. Yet she still smiled politely at the woman next to Roderick, “So this must be your sister?”
