Chapter 263
Speak of the devil – Theresa just found Charlie waiting for her in the passage the moment she went out from backstage! Jonathan, who was standing behind Charlie, greeted them instantly, “Dr. Hill! Madam!” Despite his courtesy, Jonathan was rather rattled as he could almost predict Charlie’s reaction at the sight of Theresa and Roderick together. Roderick was the last man Charlie would like to see to go with Theresa, yet she just preferred to walk out with him at such a moment.
Sure enough, Charlie’s face turned grim in no time. Fortunately, Ben capered toward Charlie at that instant. “Dad” called Ben with enthusiasm. That eased up the tense atmosphere instantly. Holding Charlie’s hand, Ben asked, “Dad, I did the dance today. Did you watch my performance?”
“Of course!” Charlie regarded the energetic and adorable boy.
“Am I cool on the stage?” asked Ben cheerfully.
Charlie gave him a firm nod.
“Dad,” Ben went on, “I miss you so much! Are you busy working today?”
“Not exactly.” Eyeing his son, Charlie almost forgot other things totally, until Roderick went up to remind him of what had
exasperated him so much.
“Mr. Calsis, I really envy you for having so great boys!” praised Roderick.
Charlie looked up at him with a cold glare. “I know that.” He was just being resentful towards Roderick, despite their friendship for so many years, because he was certain Roderick wanted to lure Theresa away.
“Why? I’m still thinking about inviting you to a dinner.” Roderick asked, “How could you be so cold to me?” How could you be completely ignorant of my genuine concern over your wife and your children? That was the real question in Roderick’s heart.
