Chapter 750 Only For The Boys
An expectant look formed on his face. But soon Theresa threw a wet blanket on his enthusiasm. “I just happened to be awake and came to open the door for you.”
Clad in pajamas, she felt cold and then hurried back inside. When Charlie closed the door behind him and walked in, she had already settled herself on the sofa, covering a blanket to keep warm.
He asked, “Is Ben awake?”
“Not yet.” She added, “Sit with me for a while. I have something to say to you.”
Upon hearing that, he ambled over and sat down next to her. With his eyes locked on her, he went on, “Why did you suddenly send me a message in the middle of the night?”
Holding a cup of hot water with both hands, she allowed her face to darken after hearing him mention this. “I couldn’t sleep last night, so I went to check on the boys. That was when I saw Ben crying on his bed.”
As a mother, she had to be concerned about her son’s mental health. Theresa averted her gaze to him. “I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed it, but he is different from Leonard. He’s not good at keeping things to himself and he’ll lay out anything he feels. Because of what happened between us lately, he seems to be very upset. Especially after seeing you with Sarah…”
When Charlie heard this, guilt was etched into every line of his face. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”
After casting him a glance, she smiled bitterly. “I don’t mean to blame you. Last night I talked to him and said we had made peace with each other, but he did not believe me. So I had to tell him that you would come to see him first thing in the morning. That’s why I sent you a message.”
Once he heard this, he fastened his eyes on her and move up the corner of his mouth. While this matter
had her worried half into the grave, he actually smiled! She flared at him, “Are you feeling very smug?”
He really didn’t care about their children at all!
“No!” Charlie denied with an innocent look, “I just feel glad that you can let me share your worry. You know, you don’t have to bear that burden alone.”
Speechless, Theresa uttered, “If it wasn’t for the boys, I wouldn’t have contacted you. Don’t think too much about it.”
