Chapter 200
Theresa eyed Mrs. Calsis in surprise. The inadam only treated her so politely when she first became a member
of this family. “Thank you for your kindness.” Theresa replied, “But I don’t need anything special.”
“What do Leonard and Ben want for meal?” Mrs. Calsis turned to the two kids.
“Shrimps.” Ben answered.
Theresa laughed, regarding Ben fondly. She didn’t often buy the expensive food like shrimps for the kids when
they were at her home, and now, the boys could just gobble whatever they wanted.
Mrs. Calsis nodded with an indulgent grin before she got out. Theresa then stayed in her room for the whole afternoon. Leonard
and Ben was doing live stream in the Ipad, whilst Theresa seized the precious moment to
read some books.
When it was around 6pm, Brenda went upstairs to get Theresa for supper. Theresa nodded.
“Are you getting better?” Brenda asked with concern.
“I’m all right now.” Theresa was actually quite cheerful having spent a whole afternoon with the kids. “What
has Cristina been doing? Playing the game?” she then asked.
“What else could she be up to?” Brenda sighed. “What a naughty girl she is! I’m being blessed if I could have a
daughter as smart and meek as you! Look at her, she’s just got obsessed by the game all day long and she will
never have a boyfriend this way!”
Theresa laughed. “No worries. She will sooner or later.” She then got out of her room with Brenda.
Brenda suddenly remembered something. “Oh, Jimmy’s mother is here too.” She found it necessary to inform
Theresa of that as she was aware of the previous relationship between Theresa and Jimmy.
There wasn’t any hint of surprise in Theresa’s eyes. “She’s coming for the sake of Rose?”
“Yes,” Brenda confirmed.
Theresa smiled, just feeling things were always repeating in a spiral way. She then went to the next room to
remind Cristina, and finally went downstairs with the kids.
Rosales had been at the table with Rose. Sitting next to Rose, Rosales had already got the fork in her hand.
before others were present. She was busy urging Rose to take more food.
“I don’t have the appetite.” Rose declined.
“You’ll have to feed the baby even if you don’t feel like eating.” Rosales insisted. Rose was her only concern for
the time being, and there was no room for anyone else on her mind. Now Rosales thought it her duty to look
after her pregnant daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Calsis could only accept her unwelcomed kindness.
Mrs. Calsis showed up in the dinning room, getting Leonard and Ben seated and having Theresa and Cristina
take their seats. Robert Calsis was having the meal outside that evening, and old Mr. Calsis hadn’t got up yet. Having
scrutinizing the room, Theresa failed to locate Charlie. She actually didn’t know his whereabouts after
she got him out. Without asking anyone, Theresa only sent him a text about the supper time.
The meal finally began. And Rosales had taken the liberty of placing the shrimps made for Leonard and Ben in
front of her. While urging Rose for the shrimps, she herself actually had a lot too. Mrs. Calsis couldn’t help
frowning at that sight. Yet Rosales wouldn’t give a damn about that. She only knew these nice shrimps were
too expensive to appear in her daily shopping list, even if Jimmy was getting richer than before. And the dish
was actually well made!
