He brushed her hand off without hesitation , not even pausing to think . As soon as he stepped out of the car , Naomi's tears welled up and spilled over . When Charles reached Hector's car , Teresa was already stepping out , and Hector had opened the door for her . Spotting this , Charles hurried over and held out his hand to Teresa .

" Teresa , come over here to me ." As soon as she heard him call her name , Teresa just felt how distant and pointless it all seemed . She didn't even acknowledge him , just turned her face toward Hector instead . " Hector , drive safe on your way back , okay ? Don't speed , and send me a message when you get home . " Hector felt uneasy , but knowing there was nothing he could really do , he managed a small nod . " Okay . " Teresa flashed a quick smile . " Goodnight . " Hector shot her a smile as well .

" Goodnight ." Before they could finish their conversation , Charles strode over and draped his jacket over Teresa's shoulders . At the same time , he reached out and pulled her close , his arm wrapping around her shoulders . Charles flashed Hector a big smile . " I really appreciate you looking after my wife tonight , Mr. Reed . Thanks for dinner and for bringing her home ." He was staking his claim , making it clear that Teresa belonged to him .

Teresa followed his steps , but she looked totally unfazed , in no rush at all - like she couldn't care less . Only after Charles and Teresa had made their way into Joyacre Villa did Naomi finally step out of his car . She stood alone in the freezing winter wind , looking so isolated and fragile .

Naomi had always thought she'd figured Charles out , but now , as she stood shivering , she realized she never really knew him at all . ' Was any of his kindness to me ever genuine ? ' Naomi wondered , uncertainty gnawing at her . ' And why is he being so attentive to Teresa now , anyway ? ' she couldn't help but think . 18:42 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 314 ཥྛ D 1256 vouchers The thought of all her efforts turning to dust made Naomi's heart feel like it was being ripped apart .

Love wasn't even the main thing for Naomi What really drew her was who Charles was - the life he could offer , his status , his power , and of course , that irresistible good looks . No way was Naomi letting everything she'd worked so hard for just slip away . With that thought , she pulled out her phone and called Ava . Ava picked up right away , and as soon as she heard what was up with Naomi , she came right over . The two houses were just a stone's throw apart , so Ava was there in a matter of minutes .

As soon as Ava saw Naomi , she gave her some tough love : " Expecting a man's whole world to revolve around you is a rookie mistake . What you need to do now is stop caring so much . If you want to stay on his mind . make him feel guilty for losing you - not irritated by you . Honestly , the smartest move is to just fade out for a while . This wasn't the first time Ava had told her all this . But this time . Naomi really took it to heart . She said to Ava , " I understand . " Naomi had hit a dead end - there was nowhere left to turn for her now .

She was done fighting ; at this point , doing what Ava told her was all she had left . Ava said . " Don't put so much stock in what a man's feeling . You're not even married yet and you're already stressing like this - imagine what it'd be like after you get hitched , you'd go nuts . Guys like him will always have women flocking around . What you should do is accept that calmly . If it's not Teresa , there'll be someone else - Lisa , Tina , whoever . Do you really think you'll be the only woman in his life ? Don't kid yourself . " Naomi wiped away her tears and managed a faint smile .

" Mom , I get it . " Ava patted her hand . " Just relax . Even if things don't work out with Charles , there's still Troy , Hector , Jason , Finn - a whole bunch of great guys out there . " The thought of all those other options finally put Naomi at ease . " You're right . Charles definitely isn't the only man out there ." Even if she said all that , Naomi couldn't deny how much she enjoyed being admired and chased by every guy in sight . But truth be told , the man Naomi wanted most was still Charles .

None of those other men could ever measure up to Charles - his status , his power , his appeal were on a whole other level .

" It was already late , but Yolanda still hadn't gone upstairs to bed . Ever since Naomi snapped at her , Yolanda had been feeling down .

She kept telling herself that Naomi was just in a bad mood and didn't really mean to yell at her - it was just an accident , not because she was actually mad . But to her surprise , it wasn't Naomi who walked in . When Yolanda noticed it was Teresa and Charles instead , she hesitated before mumbling , " Dad , " her voice carrying a trace of reluctance . Charles just gave a quiet " mm " and started leading Teresa upstairs . Seeing this , Yolanda quickly called out , " Dad , where's Miss Naomi ? Is she not coming back ?

" Charles stopped in his tracks , turned to Yolanda , and gave her a gentle smile . " Yolanda , it's already late . Why don't you let Sharon help you get ready for bed ? Your dad and mom need to talk for a bit . " Teresa glanced at Yolanda and could tell right away her little girl had been crying . The sight of Yolanda looking so downcast and vulnerable tugged hard at Teresa's heart . But Charles didn't give her a chance to linger with Yolanda - he just took Teresa's hand and led her straight upstairs . Behind them , Yolanda called out anxiously , " Dad , Dad .

" Charles was so intent on hashing things out with Teresa about Naomi that he totally missed Yolanda calling after him . Yolanda could only stare , feeling so alone and hurt as she watched Charles take Teresa upstairs . Her tears just wouldn't stop - they rolled down her face , fast and hot , and her little heart felt even heavier . When Naomi still didn't show up at the door , Yolanda couldn't wait any longer - she ran outside , anxious and determined to look for Naomi herself . Sharon was busy in the kitchen , so she didn't even notice Yolanda had slipped out .

As Yolanda ran out of Joyacre Villa , she saw the gate to the house next door open . She barely hesitated before running right inside . Yolanda had always been terrified ever since Ava pinched her that time . There was no way she'd ever go near the place next door all by herself . But tonight , she was so desperate to find Naomi that even Ava - the devil she'd always feared - couldn't stop her . ' I don't care anymore . I just want to see Miss Naomi , Yolanda thought , her fear shoved aside by sheer determination .

Yolanda instantly started bawling and cried out as loud as she could , " Miss Naomi ! " Naomi turned to see Yolanda standing there , barefoot from running outside . Instead of feeling sorry for her , Naomi just frowned . ' Running around again ... Naomi thought , annoyed . If anything happens , Charles is definitely going to blame me for it , flashed through Naomi's mind .

That was the first thing Naomi thought - no concern for Yolanda , just worry about herself . Yolanda hurried over , bare feet pressing into the cold pebbles , hooking her little fingers around Naomi's hand . Her nose was red as she sniffled and asked , " Why aren't you coming home ? Are you upset with me ? " Naomi let Yolanda cling to her , but answered calmly , " Your mom's at home , so I won't be coming back to Joyacre Villa for the next couple of days . " Yolanda's eyes filled with hurt and confusion . She asked , " Why ? Don't you want me anymore ?

" Naomi just gave her a thin , icy smile . She replied , her tone flat and emotionless , " A child isn't allowed to have two moms at once , Yolanda . That's just not how things work ." Yolanda's voice cracked as she protested , refusing to accept it . " But Miss Naomi , I just want you to be my mom . That's all ! " Naomi slowly pushed Yolanda's hand away , her voice chilly as she said , " Go back home . When your mom leaves , that's when I'll return to Joyacre Villa ." With those words , she turned her back without hesitation and went straight inside .

Ava stood in the doorway , her expression fierce as ever , staring daggers at Yolanda . " Why are you still standing there ? Go back home ! " Yolanda was shaking from head to toe , so terrified she couldn't even bring herself to look up at Ava . She didn't dare cry , just bit down on her lip , stifling her sobs , then finally turned and bolted back to Joyacre Villa . Sharon had just realized Yolanda was missing and was frantically searching for her . When Yolanda finally came running back , Sharon scooped her up for a hug , relief flooding her face .

" Miss Yolanda , where did you run off to ? And you didn't even put on your shoes ! You nearly scared me to death ! " Sharon fussed , her voice trembling with worry . Yolanda didn't register a single word of Sharon's fussing . Still sniffling , she burst out between sobs , her voice shaking with fury , " Sharon , I wish Mom would just leave Joyacre Villa forever - I don't want her here ! I hate her ! I wish she'd just disappear from this world . Why couldn't she have just died when she gave birth to me ? " 18:42 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 315 Chapter 315
