Chapter 698
After dinner, Roderick left. Theresa slept with the two kids.
She hadn’t slept with them for a long time as she wanted them to be independent. Tonight, they might need her to stay with them or she might need them to stay with her.
She sat there, reading them a bedtime story.
The two kids lay side by side, with their identical little heads next to each other on the pillow. Listening to her story, they were getting sleepy. Leonard, in particular, was almost asleep.
Kids were just like that. Their emotions came and went quickly
Theresa looked at the two little ones and smiled gently, “Sweet dreams!”
She lay down as well and gazed at them.
She had been watching them grow up since they were babies. It was heartwarming to think about it.
Just looking at them, she put all those unhappy moments with Charlie behind her.
The next morning, Theresa and Cristina went to Eugene’s with the two kids.
It was not the apartment where Eugene had stayed before, but a villa, which was not too far away from where Theresa lived now. It was also a tranquil place.
Theresa rang the doorbell. Soon, the gate was opened from the inside.
They walked in. Cristina followed Theresa, quietly looking at the building. She didn’t even know that
Eugene had a home like this.
Eugene opened the door for them. Seeing Theresa, he said, “Good morning”
As he spoke, he glanced at Cristina and seemed a little surprised. “What are you doing here?”
Cristina looked at the man and noticed how displeased he was to see her.
She was not even as welcome as Theresa?
Cristina said in exasperation, “I’m here to help Theresa! I’m her assistant today. Do you have a problem with that?”
She glared at Eugene justifiably.
Theresa looked at Eugene and said, “You don’t want Cristina here? I can tell her to leave now.”
Eugene certainly wasn’t at the point of kicking Cristina out.
