The man got out of the car.
When Teresa saw him, she froze for a second. Then she instinctively wrapped her arm around Michael’s shoulders and pushed the kid to Miriam
Teresa greeted him with a nod. “Donald p>
Donald replied, “Hey, Teresa.” He just came to Everport to buy a car. Actually, both he and Jennifer were here. Jennifer was looking for Rebecca and Donald was here for the car.
Cars were way cheaper in Everport than in Nareigh. He sold his old one and bought a black Audi A7. He didn’t have enough money, so he borrowed some from Jonathan. The money his parents gave him for a new car was already spent on Jennifer’s house,
Miriam chimed in, introducing herself to Donald, “You’re Jonathan’s cousin, right? Hi, I’m Miriam Shaw p>
Michael shouted, waving at Donald, “Doctor p>
Donald came to himself. He pointed at Michael, looking confused, and asked Teresa, “Didn’t you say this kid was your friend’s? I think I heard him call you Mom p>
Teresa replied calmly, “Oh, you must’ve misheard p>
Donald said, “No, I’m pretty sure he called you … ”
Teresa cut him off, “I’ll explain it to you later.” She waved at Miriam, who quickly hustled Michael into a cab.
Teresa turned to Donald. “So, what brings you here? Is my sister still here p>
Sure enough, as soon as Jennifer was mentioned, Donald’s attention was diverted.
Donald said, “Jennifer’s worried you’re not doing well here, so she’s not heading back yet. We’re staying at a hotel. Teresa, why don’t you talk with her? ”
Teresa said flatly, “No, I don’t want to see her p>
She added, “I’m doing i
fine here. Just ask her to go back p>
Donald said, “You should see her. She’s been looking everywhere for you p>
As he spoke, Donald glanced at Michael, who was waiting obediently in the cab across the street, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Noticing Donald’s doubt, Teresa said, “Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll meet with my sister p>
Donald relaxed, not frowning anymore. “Great, I’ll drive you over. Jennifer’s at the hotel. She’ll be so happy to see you p>
Teresa replied, “Okay p>
As she turned around, Teresa shot Miriam a look, signaling her to take Michael home first since she had to be out. Then Teresa got into Donald’s car.
Soon they arrived at the hotel. Jennifer heard a knock on the door and thought Donald was back.
She opened the door and saw Teresa, standing next to Donald.
For a second, Jennifer thought it was an illusion. Excited and a little flustered, she quickly turned to Donald. “What’s going on? ”
Donald said, “I ran into, my ex–sister–in–law on the way here. You two can catch up with each other. I’ll head to the restroom to leave you alone. ”
After that, he went downstairs, leaving the living room to Jennifer and Teresa.

As soon as Teresa walked in, Jennifer closed the door. Meanwhile, Donald hesitated for a moment and then pulled out his phone to send Jonathan message.
Donald: [I found Teresa. She’s with Jennifer right now. The two of them are talking]
Donald snapped a photo of the hotel and the room number and sent it to Jonathan.
Inside the living room, Jennifer reached out to Teresa, but Teresa impatiently pushed her away.
Teresa went straight to the point. “Just now, on the street, Donald heard Mike call me ‘Mom. He asked what was going on, but I didn’t admit it
Jennifer’s eyes flickered, a hint of panic flashing across her face. “Really p>
Teresa’s expression didn’t change. She said, “Just make up an excuse. If he finds out the truth about the kid, he’ll definitely tell his cousin, and then your career is over p>
Jennifer understood this better than Teresa did. That was exactly why she always felt like she was walking on eggshells.
She calmed herself down. “I know it. I’ll come up with a story for Donald. You don’t need to worry about it p>
Teresa said, “Worry? Why would I worry? I’m just the clueless little sister, right? With you, the all–powerful big sis, what could possibly go wrong p>
Jennifer frowned, easily picking up on the sarcasm in Teresa’s tone.
Jennifer said, “Was I wrong when I said you were reckless? You’re pregnant, but you did not tell anyone where you were. You never contacted your family. Aren’t you reckless? ”
Teresa let out a cold laugh. “Didn’t you tell me to leave Nareigh? You were so scared someone would find out about the baby, so you insisted I leave right away, not even a day’s delay. I left. I didn’t go back. I did exactly what you wanted. And I’m the one being reckless? ”
Jennifer said, “I told you to go to Fernlandia and stay with Evelyn. How was I supposed to know you’d just disappear? You could go wherever you wanted, but you could’ve at least told me, right?
“I’m your sister, your family. But you didn’t tell me, You even changed your phone number. And I’m not supposed to say anything about it? ”
Teresa exhaled deeply and slowly.
She said coldly, “Hannah, I’m pregnant. I don’t want to get worked up. If you just want to lecture me, please shut up. I’ve really had enough of your
lectures p>
If Donald hadn’t found Michael, I wouldn’t have come here to see you at all. I’m only here for my kid, period.
Jennifer became quiet, her face as grim as Teresa’s. After a moment, she glanced at Teresa’s belly.
“ Go back, Teresa.” Jennifer said, “Listen, head back to Nareigh and leave Mike here. I’ll handle everything. Once you’re settled in Nareigh, pick Mike up. Just tell people a friend trusts you with him. Don’t go back with him, or people will be suspicious. ”
Teresa refused right away. “Wherever I go, my son goes. I can’t be apart from him, not even for a single day p>
Jennifer said, “Why are you so stubborn? I’m your sister. I’d never hurt you. You can go back to Nareigh now. Why do you always defy me p>
Teresa said, “When have I ever defied you? I am wrong no matter what I do! Hannah, are you trying to drive me crazy? Would that make yo
py p>
Jennifer said, “You!” Suddenly, Teresa’s stomach rumbled.
Jennifer sighed, realizing she was the one out of her mind, “You’re hungry, aren’t you? I’ll go make you some pasta. They got a gas stove here. Just wait
here for me p>
But as soon as Jennifer went to the kitchen, Teresa slipped out.

Jennifer was angry with her sister. She rushed out, but Teresa was nowhere to be seen. Just as Jennifer was about to turn around, she saw a familiar figure.
Jonathan stepped out of the elevator and walked over to her slowly.
