136.Chapter 136 

My colleague’s kid is at my place, and he’s asleep, so you’d better not go up,” Teresa said a bit sheepishly

She explained further, The kid was originally supposed to be looked after by Miriam, but she went home for the holiday. Since I don’t have family or celebrate holidays, the kid is here to keep me company.” 

A complex emotion flickered in Jonathan’s eyes. I won’t wake the kid; I’ll just finish those leftover ravioli and then leave.” 

Teresa suddenly felt uneasy. Why would a bigshot CEO do this?she wondered

At home, Teresa reheated the ravioli and served them to Jonathan. There were only a handful left; she was not sure if it would be enough for him. She also poured him a glass of water

As Jonathan ate, he suddenly spoke up, About that child” 

What about him?Teresa’s heart skipped a beat, her hand unconsciously clutching 

the table

Everyone says he looks like me. When I took him out, strangers assumed he was my son, I did another DNA test yesterday, and he’s not mine.” Jonathan lowered his head and continued eating, missing the flicker of shock in Teresa’s eyes

He went for another DNA test? But Cheryl didn’t mention it to me? And the results showed Michael wasn’t his child?she thought

Teresa poured another glass of water for Jonathan and sat across from him. Why would you go for another DNA test? Where did you get it done?” 

At Donald’s hospital. The child isn’t mine.Jonathan looked up and halfjokingly said, I told Mom you would not have my child because you don’t love me.” 

Teresa turned away, feeling a bit guilty. Why bother asking if you already knew that.” 

Jonathan chuckled bitterly to himself for overthinking things

There are some walnuts left. I’ll grab them for you,Teresa said as she turned to the kitchen, her heart pounding

Has the world gone crazy? Jonathan got a DNA test done at Donald’s hospital, and the results came out that Michael wasn’t his child?she thought

She almost laughed at the absurdity. It even made her doubt if Michael was really Jonathan’s child. But besides him, there was no one else

Teresa did not know Donald’s co successfully unlocked! Ow about Jonathan doing a DNA test. She certainly did not conspile wau. Sic wondered what exactly went wrong, and if there was a benevolent force shielding her secret

After finishing the ravioli, Jonathan asked, What are your plans for tomorrow?” 

135 Chapter 136 

On New Year’s Day, there should not be much planned. Typically, people would visit their families and relatives, but Jonathan knew Teresa had none

I’m going to the movies,Teresa said

What movie are you going to see?Jonathan asked

Paddington. I couldn’t get tickets for other New Year’s films; only the cartoon tickets were left. My colleague’s kid insisted I take him,Teresa replied

Jonathan pulled out his phone. Which movie theater? What time? I’ll join.” 

Teresa was stunned. Aren’t you the busy CEO? Besides, it’s just a cartoon. Shouldn’t you visit your family for the new year?” 

Jonathan ignored her protests. Was it Blallas Theaters? You always go there. I’m guessing it’s the 2:30 p.m. show? You can’t wake up early, so you’ll have to grab lunch before going to watch the movie with popcorn and milkshakes on hand.” 

Teresa was taken aback; he guessed everything correctly. She had indeed bought tickets for the 2:30 p.m. show because she could not get up in the morning. She even bought a combo ticket for popcorn and milkshakes

I’ll buy the movie tickets then, there’s still plenty of seats left,” Jonathan said. Seeing that Jonathan was about to place his order, Teresa quickly shouted, Suit yourself, but I’m not going to that one. Anyway, you’ve eaten the ravioli, it’s time for to go.” 

you 

Happy New Year!Jonathan said suddenly, pulling something from his pocket. At first, his palm was empty, but with a flick of his wrist, like a magician, he turned his palm to reveal a necklace dangling elegantly from his slender fingers

It was a dazzling diamond piece that shimmered brightly. It was expensive, far beyond what his salary could have afforded when they were married

I don’t want it,Teresa said and turned her face away, her eyes red

Take me off your blacklist. You can’t block me forever just because my mom reached out to you once.Jonathan placed the necklace in her palm, then turned to leave

Wait,Teresa called. She darted into her room and quickly returned with a scarf. It was part of a buyonegetone deal when she purchased the scarf for Michael earlier. It was one black and one white

Happy New Year,Teresa said and tossed the scarf to Jonathan. Let’s have a good year. Drive safely.With that, she closed the door

Jonathan felt like it was the best New Year’s gift he had ever received in years

When Michael woke up the next day, he found the new clothes and socks neatly placed at the bedside. The socks were a creamy white, matching the white scarf laid out for him

Teresa helped him get dressed, and Michael kissed her on the cheek. Mommy, thank 

136 Chapter 136 

you.” 

You’re welcome,Teresa said

Her phone buzzed endlessly with New Year’s greetings from all sorts of people. Some messages were masssent, so she only replied to a few close friends

After finishing their lunch, Teresa and Michael went to the movie theater. Driving there, Teresa assumed the parking lot would be relatively empty on New Year’s Day. To her surprise, the upperlevel spots were full

Just as a car pulled out, opening up a spot, another vehicle, a black sedan, rudely swerved in, trying to take the space. Teresa refused to reverse, and their cars ended up scraping each other

Furious, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. The other driver, a burly man, stepped out as well. Why would a man like you fight for a parking spot? There’s plenty of it at the underground!” 

And why can’t a woman like you park at the underground carpark instead? Don’t think I’ll let this slide just because you’re pretty. Your car scratched mine. Pay up,the man retorted

Let’s call the police.On such a festive day, Teresa was not in the mood to argue. She pulled out her phone, wanting to make the call. Seeing that, the man hesitated, but his pride made him insist on going ahead

Soon, the traffic police arrived and sorted everything. Teresa did not have to pay a dime, leaving the man frustrated as he called his insurance company. Lucky you!” 

By the time everything was settled, it was already past 3 p.m. 

Teresa wanted to watch the next show of Paddington“, but both the upcoming and following screenings were fully booked

She remembered checking at noon and there were still seats available, but now all the sessions were sold out

Teresa glanced at Michael, who had been sleeping the entire trip in the back seat, woke up and yawned. “Mommy, can we go watch Paddingtonnow?” 

Teresa felt a little guilty, thinking that if they went home now, Michael would be disappointed. Let’s check with the ticket counter.She hoped there would be cancellations

At the ticket counter, the ticket clerk shook her head. I’m sorry, but all the Paddingtonshows today are fully booked. Perhaps you can try again tomorrow?” 

Michael pouted. Mommy, we can’t watch Paddingtontoday?” 

No,Teresa said, holding Michael’s hand as they prepared to leave

As they were waiting for the elevator, a man’s voice called out, Teresa!” 

Teresa and Michael turned, seeing Truman approaching with a smile. He had seen her

outside earlier and wanted to help with the traffic incident, but Teresa had it under 

control

It was just a small accident,Teresa said

She patted Michael’s head and urged, Say hi to Mr. Garcia.” 

Hi, Mr. Garcia,” Michael greeted. He was still upset about not being able to watch the movie. Mommy, we really can’t watch Paddingtontoday?” 

Teresa felt both helpless and guilty. She assured Michael that they would watch it 

tomorrow

With a soft ding, the elevator doors opened

Inside stood Jonathan in a dark coat, his posture straight and imposing. Around his 

neck was a black scarf

Michael released Teresa’s hand and quickly ran toward him. Mr. Daddy Lime!”
