" If it had been anyone else , I would've stepped in to help ." Charles replied with confidence , " Whatever you say , Teresa . You can't hide what you really feel - your instinct gave you away . Deep down , you still care about me , and you still care about Yolanda . " Teresa couldn't help but laugh at Charles's words . ' How did I never spot that he was such a self - absorbed guy before ?

" 20:13 Fri , Oct 17 Chapter 283 40 55 vouchers Thinking of Troy still back at the Sullivan Mansion , a dark look flashed through Charles's eyes . Lowering his voice , he questioned , " Are you really sure you want to go back there ? " Teresa nodded . " I do . " Charles glanced down at Yolanda , who was in his arms - she was starting to get a bit restless . After a moment , Charles said to Yolanda , " Yolanda , why don't you go sit in the car for a while ? Daddy needs to chat with your mom for a second .

" Yolanda wanted to protest , but when she met Charles's intense gaze , her words died on her lips . In the end , Yolanda could only nod and reply softly , " Okay . " Once Yolanda was settled in the back seat , Charles locked the car door . Meanwhile , he took his sweet time fishing a cigarette out of his pocket . He lit it up , then blew a heavy stream of smoke straight into Teresa's face . Teresa instinctively coughed twice , her lungs burned by the sudden haze . Noticing her scowl , Charles dropped his voice rough and low . " You really set on divorcing me ? " Teresa nodded . " I am .

" Compared to when she'd been all worked up at the start , Teresa was much calmer now . But when Charles asked if she was actually sure about wanting the divorce , Teresa kinda zoned out for a second . There was a time when he never would've asked her something like that . Charles stared at Teresa , and seeing how resolute she was , it stung him right in the heart . After taking a long pause , Charles finally spoke up , " There's only one week left before the divorce cooling - off period is over . Just do one last thing for me this week , and we can end things peacefully .

" He looked so serious that Teresa's mind instantly jumped to that " let's do it one last time " thing he had hinted at . Even though she kinda knew where this was going , Teresa still asked , " What do you want ? " The cigarette was still burning when Charles saw Teresa's eyes watering from the smoke . He immediately tossed it away . The cigarette hit the ground , and Charles stomped on it a couple of times before walking over to Teresa . " Let's just try to live like we used to , even if it's just for a few days ." As soon as he said it , Teresa instinctively started to say no .

20:13 Fri , Oct 17 Chapter 283 : 66 Vouchers But Charles spoke up again , " For these last few days , I'll actually try to be a real husband to you . Just a normal couple , nothing else . When the time's up , if you still want out , then we'll end it for real . " Teresa shot Charles an amused look . " And why exactly should I trust you ? " Charles replied , " We've come this far with the divorce process . What is it you still don't believe ? " Teresa hesitated , staying silent .

Noticing her uncertainty , Charles added , " Just remember - even if we've made it this far , the divorce can't happen unless both sides truly agree ." Charles might've been smiling , but the threat behind his words was clear as day . Teresa looked at Charles , baffled . " Do you really have to make this so awkward ? " Charles turned away , shut his eyes briefly , then spoke with resolve , " Like I said - just agree to this one last thing , and we can walk away without drama . " Teresa's face went ghostly white as she fixed her gaze on him , feeling her resentment burn deeper inside .

' Honestly , after all this , why is he still holding onto something so pointless ? ' Teresa thought bitterly . But this was Charles . If he set his sights on something , he always managed to get his way . Teresa let out a bitter , mocking laugh , then said to Charles , " Talk is cheap . Let's sign something . " Charles didn't even hesitate . " Sure . " Seeing how easily he agreed , Teresa found it even more ridiculous . She stayed silent as Charles continued , " From now on , you'll stay by my side .

You'll move back to Joyacre Villa , share a room with me , and- " Maybe realizing what Charles was about to say , Teresa quickly cut in . " Charles , I'll go along with anything else , but not that . If you try to force it , you might as well just kill me . " She was ready to just burn it all down with him . Charles paused , remembering how she used to want him so much - now she couldn't even stand to talk about it . Back then , she was the one begging him for it . In the end , Charles didn't say anything more . He just gave a quiet " mm " -his way of agreeing to her terms .

As Charles walked toward the car , Teresa silently trailed behind him . Her feet felt heavy as lead , yet she was powerless to do anything but go along with him . Right now , she didn't dare - and honestly , she didn't have the nerve or the confidence to stand up to him . કોઠો 19 રાકેશ સુરતમાં જેમા તો મારી ક ામ કેનાલ મ AD
