After sending the message to Rose, Troy looked up at Teresa. He thought she was still asleep, but to his surprise, she was already awake.

Seeing her awake, Troy asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?” She had been sleeping soundly just moments ago, and now she was suddenly awake.

Troy put away his phone and shot Teresa a worried look.

He scanned her carefully, noticing that while most of her bruises had started to heal, a couple of large ones were still stubbornly lingering.

Teresa met Troy’s concerned gaze and managed a small smile. “It’s nothing. I just want to go to the bathroom.”

Hearing this, Troy immediately stood up and reached for the IV bag. “Let’s go. I’ll go with you.”

Seeing this, Teresa quickly said, “I’ll just call the nurse.”

As she spoke, she reached out, about to press the call button.

But Troy was faster, catching her arm gently as he said, “They’re all busy. I’ll go with you.”

His tone was unmistakably determined, and Teresa knew Troy was dead set on going with her–there was no way he’d take no for an

answer.

Even though she was dying of embarrassment, when nature calls, you really just have to go.

So, in the end, she surrendered and let him have his way.

Once they reached the bathroom, Troy stood by her side, holding up the IV bag while Teresa’s cheeks flushed hotly. She felt unbelievably awkward as she used the bathroom with him so close.

Troy probably noticed how uneasy she was, so he suddenly asked, “Do you want to meet my mom?”

Teresa stared at him, stunned. “Huh?”

Troy kept his gaze forward and went on, “My mom’s honestly a wonderful person. She’s been hoping to meet you for a long time now.”

Even though Troy was mostly trying to save Teresa from feeling awkward, he genuinely meant what he said.

After Teresa was done, she hurried to fix her clothes and flushed the toilet. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she glanced at Troy and mumbled, “I’m not sure if it’s really a good idea for me to go meet her…”

Troy finally turned her way, grinning from ear to ear. “It’s gonna happen eventually, you know.”

Seeing how determined Troy was, Teresa’s face hardened. “But I never planned on meeting her.”

Troy just smiled. “Someday, you will.”

Teresa’s voice was even firmer. “Never.”

Troy looked annoyed–he didn’t care that he still had the IV bag dangling from one hand. With his free arm, he grabbed Teresa and pulled her right into his arms, his voice dropping to a low, forceful rumble. “If I say it’s gonna happen, then it will.”

Troy’s tone was downright domineering Without any hesitation, he practically dumped Teresa straight back onto the bed.

Once he finished hanging the IV bag, he plopped himself right back down next to her on the bed.

He leaped forward, his tall frame casting a deep shadow over Teresa, practically enveloping her in his presence.

He met her dark eyes, his tone teasing with a little smirk. “You know you can never win against me–why not just be good and listen to Toe, just this once?”

Troy’s tone turned playfully domineering, leaving Teresa completely at a loss for how to respond,

She dodged his gaze, her eyes wandering off into the distance as it searching for something to say.

Chapter 234

While Teresa was still racking her brain for an answer, the chime of a text message suddenly sounded from her phone.

Teresa quickly turned to Troy. “Hang on, I need to check my phone. It might be something from the hospital.”

Fair enough, Troy just nodded his approval.

Teresa grabbed her phone and quickly pulled up her messages.

But the moment she saw who the message was from, her expression completely changed.

It was from Charles, and the message read: [Come back to the villa.]

The commanding tone made Teresa feel uneasy.

She hadn’t planned on replying–her thumb was already hovering over the screen, about to lock her phone, when another message from Charles popped up.

[Let’s talk about the divorce again.]

Seeing he was bringing up the divorce, Teresa quickly typed back: [What exactly do you want to discuss?]

Charles replied: [I want to add an extra clause to the divorce agreement.]

Teresa frowned in confusion. [Can you just tell me the general idea on WhatsApp?]

Two minutes later, Charles’s next message popped up: [After the divorce, you’re not allowed to see Yolanda again.] Teresa stared at Charles’s message in disbelief. She shot back a terse “?“, not even bothering with any extra words. Charles replied almost instantly: [I’ll make the compensation even higher.]

Frustration surged in Teresa as she fired back: [But Yolanda is my daughter–she came from me! How could you ask me to give her up?]

Charles texted back, his message icy: [Yeah, she’s your daughter–but if you’re okay with her being close with Naomi, then that’s your choice.]

Teresa stared at his cold words, her heart heavy. She typed: [Once the cooling–off period ends, we’ll get the divorce certificate. As for Yolanda, after we’re divorced, I can’t promise I won’t be involved with her at all, but I’ll try my best to stay out of it or be involved as little as I can.]

After hitting send, Teresa quietly put her phone back on the nightstand.

She didn’t even glance to see if Charles had sent anything else after that. The whole time Teresa was texting Charles, Troy’s eyes never left her. Once she put her phone down, he asked softly, “Was that Charles?” Teresa nodded. “Yeah.”

Troy only had to glance down and he would’ve seen Teresa’s chat with Charles right there on the screen.

But for some reason–qven he didn’t know why–he just couldn’t make himself look. He didn’t want to know what they were saying to each other

Troy asked, “So, what did he want?”

Teresa didn’t feel like explaining, so she just brushed it off. “Nothing important, just asked how I’m doing”
