Leaving It All Behind (Teresa and Cameron) novel Chapter 4

When the car door opened, Cameron shielded the top of the door and extended a hand to Cecilia.

The moment their fingers intertwined, Teresa also turned around. She was unexpectedly composed despite witnessing this heartwrenching scene.

Perhaps it was because she had figured things out, which was why she appeared so calm at this moment.

If it were before, she would have cried her heart out.

But now, she just wanted to ask Cameron what he meant when he said Cecilia was more suitable to be a mother than her.

"Cameron, what do you mean by that?" Teresa's lips quivered slightly, and her voice also changed pitch.

Cecilia got out of the car, her hand resting on Cameron's. Under the moonlight, two shadows stretched long on the ground.

Cameron acted as if he hadn't heard Teresa and moved to enter Joy Garden with Cecilia.

Teresa had lost count of how many times she had been ignored.

Her heart had long been riddled with holes, but she just couldn't let go of the matter of Rosalie yet.

Hence, she stepped forward and somehow mustered the strength to grab Cameron's wrist. She shouted at him, "Cameron, tell me!"

Finally, Cameron stopped and turned back. He looked at Teresa with a cold and indifferent gaze. He twisted his wrist, easily pulling his hand free, and said, "You're busy with work, and Rosalie is still young. She needs someone to take care of her.

"Once you're pregnant with the second child, Rosalie will also be handed over to Cecilia to care for."

Cameron had always been like this. He never discussed his decisions with Teresa and only informed her in a commanding tone.

But this time, Teresa wouldn't let him make decisions as he wished anymore.

Moreover, when she had decided to go to the neighboring state for her advanced training, she had already found a nanny for Rosalie in advance.

It wasn't until last month that she discovered Cameron had already fired the nanny.

During Teresa's six-month business trip, Cecilia had moved into Joy Garden. She lived a sweet life as a family of three with Cameron and Rosalie.

Teresa hadn't thought of making a scene because she still held a glimmer of hope that Cameron acknowledged her status as his wife.

But without her knowledge, her daughter had also been taken away.

How could Teresa just leave gracefully?

When it came to the question of who would take care of Rosalie, Teresa lost her composure. Her tone grew agitated as she said, "I can take care of my own child. There's no need for an outsider."

Cameron completely ignored Teresa's stance and simply said commandingly, "It's settled."

Teresa became angry, shedding her usual gentle demeanor. She resisted, loudly saying, "I said, I can take care of her myself!"

The atmosphere grew tense. Cecilia, who was standing behind Cameron, could tell the situation had escalated. She said softly, "Cam, go ahead and talk to Ms. Sutton. I'll go inside to check on Rosalie."

Cameron nodded in acknowledgment, and only then did Cecilia head toward Joy Garden.

At that moment, Teresa yelled, "Cecilia, stop right there!"

As soon as Cecilia turned around, a slap landed on her face. It was from Teresa.

When Cameron snapped back to his senses, he stepped forward and pushed Teresa away. Then, he supported Cecilia, asking with a pained look in his eyes, "Are you okay?"

Cecilia covered her face. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she looked pitiful and aggrieved.

Cameron was extremely worried. He blew on her cheek and touched it gently, but Teresa didn't think Cecilia had been wronged in the slightest.

What normal woman would get so close to a married man with a child?
