Miriam asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you rushing to move? Did something happen?”
Teresa briefly explained that Michael had snuck out to Horizonlead Group.
Miriam’s jaw dropped in shock. She didn’t expect Michael to be bold enough to sneak away to find his dad. Impressed by his courage, she wondered if he even knew the way.
Christian hurried over, too. He was supposed to help Sherry with her move, but Jonathan had taken Michael away.
Sherry quickly said, “Teresa, don’t be mad. I’ll give him a few kicks on your behalf.”
Christian winced in pain. Then, Teresa exasperatedly said, “Enough. We still need Christian‘ help. I’ll come up with an excuse, and you call Jonathan to get him to bring Michael back quickly.”
Meanwhile, at Fores Restaurant, Jonathan politely asked Mabout his food
preferences. Surprisingly, they both couldn’t handle spicy foods.
Jonathan called over the waiter. “We’ll have the smoked duck breast, stewed beef brisket, caramelized pork, and three of your signature vegetarian dishes. Make sure they’re not spicy, and we’d like some bread as well.”
“Yes, sir. What kind of bread would you like?” the waiter asked.
“Bring us a basket of each one you have,” Jonathan replied.
“Certainly, sir. Your food will be served soon,” the w.caid.
As soon as the waiter left, Jonathan’s phone rang. It was from Christian. Jonathan hit the answer button.
Christian babbled, “Mr. Lynn, I’m Christian. My girlfriend found out you took Michael out to eat, and she hit and yelled at me! She said I don’t know my place and shouldn’t have let you buy him a meal.
“The kid’s mom said Mike is quite a handful. She feels really bad about it and insisted I pick him up!”
Christian paused momentarily and added, “Where are you and Mike now? I’ll come over to pick him up. I’m really sorry for the trouble.”
“I don’t mind,” Jonathan said. “We’ve just ordered the food. I’ll take him home when we‘ re done.”
Teresa gave Christian a look, signaling for him to continue. Christian switched to speakerphone and added, “Mr.Lyen maybe he should go home for dinner instead? His mom has already cooked, and he Successfully unlocked!
Jonathan paused. “I’ll ask him about it.”
He handed the phone to Michael and asked, “Your mom’s already made dinner. Do you

want to go home to eat?”
“No, I don’t want to!” Michael shook his head like a rattle. “Mom only makes gruel for me. I’ve had enough of that. I want to have dinner with Mr. Daddy Lime.”
Teresa was so angry after hearing that that she almost grabbed the phone to berate Michael. If Miriam hadn’t held her back, Teresa would have let him have it.
Jonathan explained, “Michael said he wanted some bread, so I brought him here to eat. I’ll take him back later. I’m familiar with the roads at Rosary Estates.”
Christian licked his lips. “Um… Sorry for troubling you, Mr. Lynn.” With that, he hung up the phone.
Teresa couldn’t hold back anymore. She grabbed her coat and car keys, ready to pick up Michael herself.
Miriam grabbed her arm. “You shouldn’t go. From what Jonathan said, I think he still doesn’t know you’re Mike’s mom. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm.”
Teresa said worriedly, “I’m just worried that if he asks Michael about me, Michael will spill the beans.”
“That won’t happen. Don’t you know how your ex–husband is by now? He isn’t the type to put his nose where it doesn’t belong–much less try to dig information about you from a child,” Miriam reassured.
Sherry piped up in agreement, “Teresa, you really shouldn’t go. Just pack your things. for the move. When Mr. Lynn brings Mike back, I’ll head downstairs to welcome them.”
