Chapter 652
Christian said, “Mr. Lynn, you’re back,”
“You’re still here?” Jonathan walked over and asked with a playful grin, “Anything else you forgot to mention?”
Christian lowered his head, guill written all over his face. “Actually, there and some things I left out. I’m sery. Mr. Lynnd
A wry smile tugged at Jonathan’s lips. For some reason, he’d heard that phrase all too often. He couldn’t pinpoint when it started, but people kept apologizing to him. He had no clue what people were so sorry about
“Ive always believed that family comes before work. You usado the right choice. There’s nothing to feel guilty about,” Jonathan said, ghing Christian a reassuring pat on the arm.
Christian’s eyes suddenly welled up. He choked out, “Mr. Lynn.”
The sound of approaching footsteps grew louder. A woman emerged from the direction of the ladies‘ room, dressed in a simple white tulle dress, her pulled back in a casual ponytail, her face entirely bare.
She linked arms with Christian, who introduced her, “Mr. Lynn, this is my wife, Sherry
Jonathan felt a sudden pang of nostalgia. For a moment, he found himself lost in thought. There was a time when I, too, would introduce Teresa a “m wife, Teresa
He quickly suppressed the emotions in his eyes and gave a faint nod. “You two got married?”
“Yeah, Mr. Lynn. Just got married,” Christian replied, a hint of pride in his voice.
Sherry said, “Mr. Lynn, here’s the wedding invitation. Our wedding will be held next month. We’d be honored if you could attend.”
Jonathan took the invitation with a playful arch of his brow. “So, you waited all this time just to hand me this? Now you’re rubbing your marital bliss in my face, too?”
Christian hurriedly said, “Mr. Lynn, that’s not what I meant, i
Sherry pinched Christian’s arm hard, making him wince and frown. Sherry spoke up again, “Mr. Lynn, Christian has been waiting here for ages just to personally hand you our wedding invitation.
“He always says you’re the best boss he’s ever had, so he insisted on giving it to you
himself”
Jonathan said with a faint smile, “Congratulations on your marriage. Thanks for the invitation, be sure to attend if I’m free. With that, Jonathan turned to leave.
Christian called out, “Mr. Lynn-“Before Christian could finish, Sherry pinched his arm hard again. Jonathan turned around and asked, “Is there anythin else?”
Sherry shook her head. “That’s all, Mr. Lynn. Take care!

angrily shook off Sherry’s hand and stormed out.
p with him. “Honey.” Christian headed for the car, still refusing to speak to Sherry.
Sherry caught up wi
Sherry grew impatient. “Why are you taking it out on me? You’re so damn stubborn. You’re not even Jonathan’s secretary anymore. So why are you trying to meddle in his business?”
“Even though I’m not Mr. Lynn’s secretary anymore, I knew all along that Mike was his son. I can’t believe Tores kept it a secret for so long I have to tell Mr. Lynn.”

“Are you stupid? Even if you tell him how, there’s no guarantee het behave you.”
“Mc Lynn will believe me. I’m going to tell him, and you can’t stop me.”
“Go ahead. But if you can’t find a jobs after this, we’re getting audivorce.”
Christian froze. Sherry glared at him and snapped, “Haven’t you considered the consequences) As Mr. Lynn’s secretary, you withheld crucial informatio If he puts a black mark on your resume because of thes, who the hell would hire you then!”
Christian hesitated, but insisted. “But i still have to tell Mr. Lynn”
“Fine, do as you please,” Sherry said, tears welling in her eyes, her voice resolute, “I stood by you through your darkest days. Just like they say–men’s hearts always change the moment they pet manied”
“That’s not what I meant,” Christian said, gripping Sherry’s hand tightly. “I know you love me, and I’m grateful for all you’ve done. But this is different. I just feel so sorry for Mr. Lynn.”
Sherry pursed her lips and remained silent. Seeing Sherry hesitate, Christian said, “Honey, don’t you feel bad for Mr. Lynn? He has a right to know. doesn’t he?
“understand you’re worried about my future, but Mr. Lynn has always been incredibly good to me. I can’t bear the thought of him never finding out about Mike.
“You’re right. Both Jonathan and Mike are pitiful,” Suddenly, a voice said
Christian and Sherry both spun around at almost the same time, Gary walked over and cut straight to the chase. “Toverheard everything you just said. So, you’re Jonathan’s former secretary? Even you know about Mike, but Jonathan doesn’t.”
Sherry and Christian immediately grew wary–they had never met Gary before.
Gary introduced himself, “Mr. Lynn is my cousin. Don’t be scared, I also know Teresa gave birth to his son. Since you’re too afraid to say it, do it” He couldn’t hide the truth any longer. Gary was done caring about Jennifer’s feelings. He couldn’t allow Jennifer to keep making mistakes. Christian called out to Gary as he was about to leave. “Wait a sec–let’s exchange numbers. If you ever need any help, just give me a call” Gary agreed, Aher Gary left, Sherry grow frantic. Does Teresa even know about this?‘ she wondered, dialing Teresa’s number–but the call didn’t go through, What on earth is going on?” Sherry thought anxiously. “Teresa, answer the phone.”
Sherry then posted in a group chat that Teresa had set up ages ago.
[Bad news! Gary, Mr. Lynn’s cousin, just went to see him and said he was going to reveal the truth about Mike. Teresa, you’re not answering your phone- please reply ASAP if you see this. |
Where is he now?) Jennifer was the first to reply.
He’s at Mr. Lynn’s company.]

Gary arrived at Jonathan’s company, only to be told by the receptionist that Jonathan was in a meeting and unavailable without an a “Tell him I’m Gary, I have something extremely urgent–life–or–death urgent to tell him. If he doesn’t come see me, he can kiss his wife goodbye.”

Gary stared out the window at the sinking sun, his fingers absently tracing his lips as he pondered how to tell Jonathan without sparking unnecessary misunderstandings.

“Sanford!” Hearing that sharp, all too–familiar voice, Gary frowned and turned around. Jennifer, her hair in disarray, stormed
“What do you think you’re doing? Are you determined to see me lose everything?
Gary shook off her hand impatiently. “I can’t stand watching you keep crossing the line like this. You’re not the person used to know tell the uth It’s not too late
“And what if I don’t? I can’t tell him right now.”
“So, when are you going to tell him? Honestly, you just wish Teresa would disappear for good–you never had any intention of coming clean.”
Jennifer fell silent.
“Mr. Lynn,” the receptionist exclaimed as Jonathan approached, Gary moved toward him, only for Jennifer to grab his arm, but he shook her off again
Without a backward glance at Jennifer, he strode directly toward Jonathan, “Jonathan, there’s something important I need to tell you”
“Gary!” Jennifer screamed.
“I saw Teresa
a with a little boy today.” Gary and Jennifer blurted out almost in unison.
