When She Turns Her Back (Teresa and Charles) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Roselyn looked at Teresa, realizing she was dead serious. For a moment, she felt a wave of panic in her heart.

But Roselyn quickly calmed herself. She knew how much Teresa had wanted to marry Charles, so there was no way she would ever want a divorce.

Roselyn lifted her chin and retorted, “Don’t think I won’t do it.”

Teresa, looking eager, replied, “Go ahead, I’ll be waiting to buy you dinner.” With that, she got into her car. Before Roselyn could say another word, Teresa drove off.

Teresa had always been obedient, but now she wasn’t the pushover she used to be. Roselyn couldn’t even tell when it started, but it was obvious Teresa wasn’t under her thumb anymore.

And from what Teresa said, it sounded like she really was considering divorce.

Roselyn looked down on Teresa. She believed that even if a divorce were to happen, it had to be Charles who initiated it.

Still feeling uneasy, Roselyn decided to call Charles. The call was answered quickly, and she could hear typing in the background.

“What’s up?” Charles’s voice was a bit hoarse, like he hadn’t slept well.

And indeed, he hadn’t. He spent the night stargazing with Naomi and Yolanda, and then they went out for barbecue afterward. Today, he had work to handle at the office, so he came in early.

Roselyn didn’t beat around the bush. “Charles, has Teresa been acting strange lately?”

Charles froze for a second, his fingers hovering over the keyboard, then said, “What are you getting at?”

Roselyn caught the shift in his tone and hurriedly asked, ‘She hasn’t mentioned divorce, has she?”

Charles answered, “No.”

Roselyn let out a sigh of relief before saying, “Well, she did go through so much to marry you. There’s no way she’d give it up that easily.”

Charles simply answered, “Yes.”

Roselyn wasn’t satisfied. She kept pressing, “If you don’t want to be with her anymore, you need to be the one to ask for a divorce first. Don’t let her beat you to it.”

Charles stopped typing again, his voice serious. “Mom, I’ve never thought about divorcing Teresa. We have Yolanda now. Divorce wouldn’t be good for her.”

Roselyn remained firm. “I don’t care. You’re a Logan. Even if you get divorced, make sure you’re the one who initiates it.”

Charles didn’t want to keep talking about it, so he said, “Mom, I have a guest coming over. I gotta go.”

That afternoon, Teresa was busy writing up patient records when her phone rang. It was Wendy.

“Teresa, let’s grab dinner tonight,” Wendy said.

Teresa didn’t bother asking why, just said, “Sure.” They were good friends, so having dinner together was just another casual hangout for them.

But when Teresa walked into the private room, she realized it wasn’t just Wendy-George was there too.

Several dishes were already on the table, but one had a chunk missing from the corner. It was obvious that George was responsible.

Teresa sat down without saying a word to George and ignored Wendy as well.

Wendy kept serving Teresa food. Teresa didn’t say anything, but her actions showed that she wasn’t being cold toward Wendy.

George sat quietly next to Wendy, head down, just messing around on his phone.

When all the dishes arrived, Wendy poured red wine for Teresa, George, and herself.

Wendy raised her glass and looked at Teresa. “Teresa, I’m sorry I didn’t explain everything when I called you this afternoon. I asked you here because I wanted to apologize.
