When she noticed his movement, Teresa finally let go of his hand and said calmly, “And what’s the use in going over there? Give Yolanda a piece of your mind? Does that even change anything? Honestly, just let them do whatever they want.”

With those words, Teresa spun around and headed back toward Monica and the others.

She thought to herself, ‘I’ve already said everything I needed to say. If Troy still insists on going, then that’s his problem—not mine. I’m done stopping him.‘

It didn’t matter whether he was truly worried Yolanda was heading down the wrong path, or afraid Naomi might be drawn away–those were his issues to deal with. He could make his own choices.

When Teresa found Monica and Zane, they’d already finished lunch and were now just having fun playing games.

No sooner had Teresa sat down than Troy came back.

Teresa was honestly, a bit surprised to see him return.

‘He really didn’t go talk to Naomi? Te

wondered to herself.

Emilie saw that they’d just gotten back and immediately started sorting out lunch for them.

As she was eating, Teresa felt a nagging pain in her lower belly. After a quick mental calculation, she realized it was probably just that time of the month again.

She brushed it off, not really caring all that much.

For the rest of the afternoon, Teresa was totally out of it, listless and just unable to shake off the low mood.

Troy caught onto her vibe, but figured she was still bothered by the whole

By five o’clock, the daycare event was over.

Yolanda drama.

After Teresa dropped Monica off at the Sullivan Mansion, she drove straight over to Joyacre Villa.

She arrived at Joyacre right around 6:30 PM, just in time for dinner.

Charles was home, Richard was there too, but Yolanda wasn’t back yet.

Sharon had already set the table for dinner. When Richard saw that Yolanda still wasn’t back, he glanced at Teresa as she walked in and asked “Where’s Yolanda? Why isn’t she home yet?”

Teresa was momentarily at a loss, then instinctively looked over at Charles.

Yolanda’s pretty much cut ties with me. How would I possibly know where she is now?‘ Teresa mused.

Charles exchanged a glance with Teresa, then answered his grandfather, “Grandpa, Yolanda went to a friend’s house. She said she’d come back after having dinner there.”

A friend? Teresa could hardly hold back a laugh. With how infamous Yolanda was at daycare, there was just no way she actually had any friends.

Still, Teresa ler Charles’s little white lie slide without saying anything.

Seeing that Yolanda wasn’t coming back, Richard turned to Teresa and said, “Teresa, come on, have a seat dinner’s about to start” Teresa nodded and sat down at the table.

As she sat, a sharp pain stabbed at her lower abdomen again.

Because of the ache in her belly, she’d been totally out of it all day—se pale and listless that she looked a butle scary.

Chapter 219

Even though the whole table was loaded with food, Teresa just couldn’t bring herself to eat a single bite.

Richard told Charles to serve Teresa some soup, and Charles did as he was told.

But seeing all the rich, meaty soup in her bowl, Teresa had absolutely no appetite for it.

Just as dinner was about to start, Teresa suddenly turned to Charles and said, “Charles, I have two things to say to you, and I want Grandpa to hear them too.”

Her sudden, serious tone caught Charles so off guard it sent a chill down his spine.

‘Is she really about to bring up divorce in front of Grandpa?‘ he thought nervously to himself.

Not daring to risk it, Charles lowered his voice and said quietly to Teresa, “Grandpa’s in the middle of dinner. Whatever it is, let’s talk upstairs.”

But Teresa insisted, “No, we’re talking about it right here.”

Charles tightened his grip on his chopsticks, but before he could say a word, Richard spoke up, “That’s right, whatever you need to say, say it in front of me. If Charles has been giving you trouble, Teresa, don’t worry–I’ll take your side.”

Whether Richard truly meant it or not, his words still warmed Teresa’s heart.

She smiled and thanked him, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

With that, she turned her attention back to Charles.

Charles’s jaw was clenched, looking visibly tense.

Teresa could tell he was stressing, but she didn’t rush and kept her cool. “Yolanda mouthed off and insulted someone at the daycare event today. So, what do you think we should do about it?”

Hearing that, Charles finally eased up a little.

After a beat, he asked, “What exactly did Yolanda say?”

Teresa replied, “She called him a ‘bastard‘–right in front of everyone.”

Charles just froze, like he honestly couldn’t believe it. He said nothing.

Teresa wouldn’t drop it. She pressed, “Charles, answer me how do you think we should handle this?”

Charles shot the question back, “What about you? What do you think we should do?”

Teresa gritted her teeth. “She needs to apologize in public, and then make her skip meals for a whole day.”

Charles frowned, “Do we really have to go that far?”

Teresa didn’t skip a beat. “Absolutely. That’s exactly how serious it is.”

Zane was already hurting deep down from not having a mom. Being called a ‘bastard‘ was just pouring salt on the wound.

Charles just shrugged, totally unfazed. “And what if I don’t make Yolanda apologize?”

Teresa had seen this coming and shot back, “Whatever. She’s not just my kid–she’s yours too.”

Charles’s face darkened. He snapped, “Yolanda’s still so young. Are you really going to beat her up?”

Teresa didn’t even flinch. “Yes, she do a beating

Charles couldn’t help but raise his voice. “Teresa, you’re her mom! Do you even know what you’re saying?”

Once the two of them started going at it, Richard just couldn’t get a word in edgewise,

As the argument kept getting louder, he just sat there stuck–not sure who to back or what to say.

Teresa saw Charles’s face contorted with rage and almost automatically tried to get up–but suddenly felt a warm rush between her legs.
