Chapter 261
Sarah was much cheekier than Daphne had expected that this woman she had been blaming should have the guts to kick off the conversation. “I’ve just been back.” replied Sarah. “Oh Theresa is my sister. She is not only from a top university, but had divorced before she married Charlie. You know why? Because she was having an affair and even two kids with other men…” Sarah was just waiting to see how Daphne was going to continue her compliment of Theresa.
Daphne’s face darkened, knowing Sarah was deliberately throwing a spanner in the works. And Theresa just felt Sarah’s sarcasm was like a slap on her face. She could only glare at Sarah, who only took a gleeful delight and turned back to resume the chat with her idol.
Watching that farce, Roderick had to ask Theresa with concern, “Are you…OK?” He really thought Sarah was being too mean
to her sister.
“I’m all right.” Theresa allowed herself a wry smile, as she’d got used to such mockery these years especially when Sarah was still Charlie’s fiancee. Yet Roderick actually knew the whole story well, and Sarah’s false accusation was utterly humiliation to Theresa, who had factually done nothing wrong.
The performance of the two little boys began soon, and Theresa just engaged herself in taking pictures for them as though.
nothing had ever occurred. The boys did such a good job that Theresa even forgot the dispute minutes ago. Roderick just found it so amazing that Theresa could manage to control her mood so well. He himself would at least be upset for the whole night, if he were her. Yet Theresa just had such magical power of self-regulation. She must have acquired it after being wronged time and time again.
