Chapter 618
Theresa did not want to face Charlie as well. She had a feeling that whenever she faced him, everything would become more complicated. Whenever her emotions were involved, she would no longer be able to be so calm and collected.
Having received a call from Cristina, Theresa said, “That’s great, that’ll help you to cure your internet addiction.”
Cristina complained, “Theresa baby, you don’t love me! I wanted to celebrate the new year with you, but that’s not going to happen now.”
If Cristina went to see Theresa, Charlie would certainly follow her. It was better to stay in the house and watch Charlie get stressed out.
Theresa said, “It’s okay, we’ll make up for it in the future.”
They had always spent the festivals in the past years together. The four of them, she, Cristina, and the two kids. Those days were quite contenting and fulfilling.
Cristina said, “I won’t have the chance to taste your cooking this time, it looks like.”.
Theresa smiled bitterly, “Brenda cooks better than me, be happy with what you have!”
Cristina seemed to have accepted her fate and said, “Then all the best, send my regards to Leonard and Ben.”
“Hmm,” Theresa said, “Tell him the truth if you need to, in case he bothers you more.”
Dick was taking care of the matters of her family, so Theresa was not worried. Her father called her today as well to tell her about Charlie going to the office. Judging from Charlie’s personality, he was probably planning to make her family bankrupt again! He did exactly that to force Sarah to show up back then.
These responses were all within Theresa’s expectations, so she prepared for them in advance.
In the next few days, Charlie had been looking for Theresa everywhere. While Theresa stayed home and did not go anywhere. She quietly prepared for the New Year. As she told her father about her arrangement with Dick White, her father agreed to let Jimmy help the company. The Cameron’s Group’s crisis was over for the time being.
In the morning, Theresa had just finished her breakfast when the doorbell rang. The sudden loud noise startled her. She came out of the house and arrived at the door. She took a peak and saw it was Rawlins. It was not Charlie!
