After hanging up the phone, Teresa breathed a sigh of relief. Enrique's voice sounded hoarse, but he should be fine.
Or maybe it was because of what happened recently that he didn't sleep well. Well, it should be like this.
"Sir, thank you for lending the phone to us. We are leaving now."
"Well, it doesn't matter. If you have time, you can come here and have a chat with us..."
Teresa thanked the landlord and helped Jerome back to their own room. There was nothing in the room, no TV or computer. The two could only stay together and look at each other.
Teresa was so bored that she bent over the window and saw the small yard of the landlord and the landlady. There was even an earth stove in the yard.
Teresa was bending over there with curiosity. At this time, the landlady happened to have a basket in her left hand and an old hen in her right hand.
When she turned around and shouted at the landlord, the landlord came out with a pot and a large basin in his hand. It seemed that she was going to kill the hen to cook the chicken soup.
Teresa smiled. The two of them looked so happy. In fact, she also hoped that there was such a man could accompany her for the rest of her life.
Jerome beside looked at Teresa, who was happy for a while and then suddenly sighed for a while. He smiled and thought, 'Right now, Abby gets along with me so natural. She doesn't hide her real feelings anymore. It's so good...'
"Abby..."
"What?"
Teresa turned her head to look at Jerome, only to see that Jerome was smiling. His warm look did not change at all, just as in the past. If he was not the CEO of the Gu Group, Jerome might live a more casual life.
At this time, Teresa's face changed. He leaned over the window and saw two bodyguards in black coming in and talking to the landlady.
"Brother, they are coming? What should we do?"
"Don't worry. Let's wait and see..."
Downstairs, in the courtyard, two bodyguards gave the photos of Teresa and Jerome to the landlord and the landlady.
"Have you ever seen these two people?"
"What? This is..."
"These two people look familiar. Wait a minute. Let me have a look. I am a little presbyopic..."
When the landlady was about to say something, the landlord took over the two photos from the bodyguards and looked at them again and again. He frowned slightly.
"These two people look so familiar. Where have I met them before? Oh, I can't remember..."
"Ah, that's all right."
The bodyguard in black took the photo from the landlord's hand and looked at his colleague beside him. Then they turned around and left. The landlady was trembling.
"My lady, what are you doing? I said I would have chicken soup at noon. Hurry up and call our son later. When will that bastard come back with his grandson? He is just an ungrateful wolf. We have raised him for so long, and he doesn't want us after he gets married."
The landlord began to nag and urge the landlady. The landlady squatted down, waiting for his husband to kill the hen. Only after that could she put it in the hot water basin.
The two bodyguards stopped at the door for a while and then left. The landlady was frightened to sit in the yard, with her face pale and her hands trembling slightly.
"Old... Old man..."
"Don't ask, and don't make any noise. That girl is a good girl..."
"But, but..."
But when she saw the two bodyguards just now, she thought in her heart did she really guess right at the beginning? Did the young lady really kill her own husband and elope with her lover?
