Marry Ex’s Uncle After Divorcement By Jacqueline Chapter 232


    But Jonathan just couldn’t spot what the change exactly was. So Charlie was now relying more on his


    new wife


    than his old subordinate! Jonathan sighed.


    Having taken some water for refreshment, Theresa gave a nce at the two boys who were attending


    the ss.


    They looked quite absorbed. Mrs. Calsis, who was watching them aside, took her eyes off Theresa


    after giving


    her a quick glimpse.


    Yet Theresa went up to her, “Thank you for looking after them so carefully.”


    “It’s my duty to take care of my own grandsons. You don’t have to say that.” Mrs. Calsis’ tone sounded


    rather


    chilly.


    Theresa only found it amusing. She then returned to Charlie’s room. Charlie had taken a shower and


    put on new clothes as he had been in sweat too. Jonathan had left the room. Fearing Charlie would get


    deted by the failure, Theresa went up tofort him, “Don’t lose your heart. It’s a long process. Just


    keep trying.” Hardly had she finished her words, she was dragged forward by Charlie to the seat in


    front of him. Theresa got alert instantly at his gaze, as she knew he would always take advantage of


    her each time he abruptly pulled her


    over.


    Theresa had to guard herself with folding arms, “Did you take my joke for real? Please! You haven’t


    really


    stood up


    now!”


    With a repressed hint of smile in his eyes, Charlie joked, “You are getting fearful now? Weren’t you


    quite daring just now?”


    “I was saying that merely as encouragement! And that helps you to take it easy, doesn’t it?” retorted


    Theresa.


    “Look, it really works!”


    Charlie reached forward, though not frivolously this time, only to stroke her face with his uncared


    fingers. His eyes were suffused with softness, respect and admiration, with the least touch of his usual


    arrogance and aloofness. How he wanted to ask her to stay with him forever! But his pride and dignity


    just had prevented him. from uttering that over and over again. Yet this time, the urge to speak it out


    finally won out even if he knew she was likely to mock him. “Theresa, could you stay here? Don’t leave


    me.” he finally said. Theresa smiled. “You will go back on your words when you are able to walk.” She


    made the judgment based on her previous experience. Patients would rely on her emotionally in the


    course of rehabilitation. As the physical disability destroyed their confidence, many patients tended to


    think themselves being looked down upon. Since Theresa was good at dealing with such a mentality,


    patients could fall in love with her easily, though they would changeter and went on the other way


    round when he really recovered and went back to the normal track of life. Nothing left in the deal. And


    now, Charlie was only one of them, though a bit unexpectedly. With a thoughtful look, Charlie swore, “I


    mean it! Please don’t think I’m kidding!” He was quite pissed off to meet with such a reaction of hers


    when he had strived so hard to confide in her. He just felt his sincerity was unfairly treated.


    Theresa replied, “I know you are quite serious now, and that’s the very reason I don’t think you could


    keep your promise.”

    Yet Charlie just found her response rather perfunctory. He let go of her with a snort, “All right. I’ll go to


    work.”


    He still felt quite pettish after saying that.
