Teresa was never the type to just bear with people who bullied her. She replied calmly, “Whatever. If you ruin the door, you’ll have to pay for it. ”
Then she hung up.
She told herself she wasn’t going to go downstairs just because he was drunk.
But even as she said it, she couldn’t help sneaking a look from the balcony. Sure enough, she saw that familiar and drunken figure. Michael’s bedroom door was still open. He was fast asleep. She didn’t know what would happen if Jonathan came upstairs.
With how sensitive Michael was, he’d definitely wake up from the smell of Jonathan.
Teresa really didn’t want Jonathan to come upstairs and wake up Michael at a time like this.
She headed down and grabbed his arm as he was about to get into the elevator. “What are you doing this time? ”
Jonathan stopped. He stared at Teresa for a long time before finally saying, “I’ve taken care of everything for you p>
Teresa asked, confused, “What do you mean p>
Jonathan said, “You said there were three things you couldn’t stand. First, you didn’t want your sister controlling you –done. She won’t live with you. Second, you didn’t want my mom pestering you. She promised me she wouldn’t call you again. Last, you didn’t want to be tangled up with me p>
Jonathan’s voice faltered a little when he got to that last part.
He said, “I’ve wrapped up all my work in Nareigh. At most, I’ll go back two or three times a year, maybe not at all p>
Teresa finally understood it. She frowned, “That’s not necessary. You don’t have to keep p>
Before she could finish, Jonathan cut her off. “Just answer me: do you prefer Nareigh or here? Be honest with me p>
Even though he was seriously drunk, there was still a trace of sensibility in those dark eyes of his.
Teresa answered truthfully, “Nareigh p>
Nareigh was where she was born and raised, where all her closest friends were. Of course, she felt at home there.
Jonathan said, “See? You can stop being stubborn. Go back to Náreigh. Don’t worry about me–just pretend that I’m dead.” He turned around to leave as soon as he finished.
Teresa hurried after him and blocked his way. “You drove here, didn’t you? Are you planning to drive back like this? ”
“My driver dropped me off here. I asked him to leave.” Jonathan said, pushing Teresa away, “Alright, go pack your things. The sooner you get back to Nareigh, the less you’ll have to see me p>
Watching him stumble around, Teresa just couldn’t leave him like that. She decided to drive him to a hotel, so she hurried to get her car.
Before Jonathan could get a cab, Teresa’s car was already right in front of him.
Teresa said, “Seriously, aren’t you embarrassed? You seem a successful businessman, but you’re drunk every day p>
Jonathan said, “Why? Successful businessmen aren’t allowed to drink? ”
Teresa said, “Do you not know your limits? What if you run into some robber? They’d tie you up, rob you, strip you naked, and dump you on the road. That’d be a real laughingstock. ”
She snapped, not in the mood to argue with him, “Just get into the car p>

In the end, Jonathan got into Teresa’s car.
Teresa asked, “Should I drop you off at the Golden Diamond Hotel p>
“No need.” Jonathan replied, “I asked Donald and your sister to take my hotel room p>
Teresa fell silent. Then Jonathan told her to drop him off at the Jadeleaf Apartment. She turned the car around.
While waiting at a red light, Teresa quickly texted Miriam: [Miriam, I’m heading out. If you get home early, check if Michael is asleep, don’t wake him up.
She’d barely sent the message before Miriam replied with a voice message.
Teresa was about to click on it when the light turned green. She put her phone down.
After they arrived at Jadeleaf Apartment, Teresa parked the car, and suddenly, Jonathan’s head slumped onto her shoulder.
Teresa froze and then turned to the man, whose head was now resting on her shoulder.
She said, “Here we are. Wake up p>
