Chapter 315 Yolanda's words sent a chill down Sharon's spine . 55 vouchers As Sharon carried Yolanda toward Joyacre Villa , she spoke sternly , " Miss Yolanda , Mrs. Logan is your mother -she loves you more than anyone else in the world . How could you say such a thing ? " Yolanda clung to Sharon's shoulder , her sobs hitching with each breath . " I just want one mom . I don't want two . " Sharon couldn't make sense of what Yolanda said ; confusion swirled in her heart . But as she thought it over , realization slowly dawned on her - she finally understood what Yolanda meant .
Yolanda wanted Naomi to be her mom . Sharon said , " Miss Yolanda , Mrs. Logan is the one who brought you into this world . Her blood runs in your veins - you are her flesh and bone . She's not just your mother ; only she can be your mother , no one else . " Yolanda let out a little huff , clearly not wanting to hear any more , so she just stayed silent . Sharon could feel Yolanda's resistance , so she didn't say anything else . But deep down , Yolanda kept Naomi's words close to her heart . She could only have one mom , not two .
If her mom stayed at Joyacre Villa , that meant Miss Naomi couldn't be here . So she needed to find a way to kick Teresa out of Joyacre Villa . Meanwhile , once Charles led Teresa into the bedroom upstairs , he turned and pressed her back against the doorframe . He planted his right hand above her head , his tall frame caging her in and his shadow falling over her . He leaned down , meeting her dark , fathomless gaze . " Nothing happened between me and Naomi . That's the truth ." Teresa tipped her head up at him , a slow smile curving her lips . " So ? What exactly are you trying to say ?
" Charles studied Teresa's eyes , searching for any sign of emotion , but all he found was emptiness . She stared back at him , completely unreadable . This wasn't the Teresa I used to know at all , Charles thought , feeling a weird sense of unfamiliarity . ' She's changed so much ...' After hesitating for a few seconds , Charles finally rasped , " Do you believe me ? " 18:42 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 315 Teresa gave a little shrug , meeting his eyes with sincerity . " I believe you . Really ." Charles blurted out , " Really ? " Teresa nodded . " Yeah , I mean it .
" รพ 12 56 vouchers Honestly , it didn't matter to her whether she believed him or not . She just didn't want to piss Charles off - she was afraid he might say he didn't want a divorce anymore . Charles gazed at Teresa for a long moment before finally saying , " As long as you believe me , that's all that matters . " Teresa smiled at him . " I'll go freshen up now , you should too . " But Charles didn't leave . He caught Teresa's hand and , in a gentle voice , said , " I prepared a gift for you . Just open it and take a look . " As he spoke , he pointed toward the coffee table behind him .
Teresa followed the direction of his gesture and saw a small box resting on the coffee table . Though she was a bit confused and her mind whirled with questions , she still made her way over , curiosity quietly stirring inside . Sitting down by the table , Teresa let her fingers hover for a second before finally opening the box . Inside was a pearl necklace - all gleaming , elegant , and obviously expensive , the kind of luxury that made her breath catch for a moment . Just then , Charles walked over , took the box from Teresa's hands , and picked up the necklace .

He said , " Sit with your back to me . Let me put it on you . " Teresa just did as he asked and sat down , turning her back toward him . Charles's fingers grazed her skin as he slowly fastened the necklace at the nape of her neck . Once the clasp was secure , Charles leaned in and kissed the back of Teresa's neck . His lips were impossibly warm against her skin , sending a shiver straight through her and scattering her thoughts . Her body went rigid for a second , then Teresa said in a low , hoarse voice , " I'll accept the gift . Thanks .
" No matter why he cares for me now , Teresa thought , if he gives me anything , I'll take it - every single time !' Once the divorce went through , his life wouldn't have anything to do with hers anymore . After all these years she'd given , it was only right she got something back in return . Seeing Teresa accept his gift made Charles pretty happy inside . He even started wondering if maybe she 18:42 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 315 never really meant all that talk about splitting up . He just couldn't believe the woman who used to love him so deeply could walk away that easily .
Just as he was caught up in those thoughts , a knock came at the door . 55 vouchers Sharon's voice floated in from the hallway . " Mr. Logan , there's a guest here to see you downstairs ." Charles called back , " Alright , I'll be down in a minute . " He got up from next to Teresa as soon as he finished speaking . He looked down at Teresa and said , " Go freshen up . I'll come see you when I'm done downstairs . " Teresa almost wanted to say he didn't need to bother , but just to keep Charles from getting annoyed , she flashed him a smile and replied , " Okay .
" After Charles went downstairs , Sharon came in , pushing the door open . Teresa looked up and saw Sharon looking all troubled . Not really sure what was going on , Teresa asked , " Hey , Sharon , what's up ? Is something bothering you ? " Sharon was clearly uneasy . " Mrs. Logan , please , could you go check on Miss Yolanda ? She won't stop crying . " Teresa was caught off guard for a moment , but then realized Yolanda's tears were probably because of Naomi . That calmed most of her worries right away . Her expression hardened and she replied curtly , " I'm not going .
I need to get some rest ." Seeing Teresa's response , Sharon hurried on , " Mrs. Logan , Miss Yolanda isn't a bad kid - it's just if she keeps staying around Ms. Yates , then who knows what could happen ... " Before Sharon could finish , Teresa cut in , her voice unyielding . " Sharon , there are things even I can't change , no matter how hard I try . " Sharon couldn't help but sigh again . " Miss Yolanda used to be such a sweet girl , but now ... " Her voice trailed off , unable to finish . Teresa broke in before Sharon could finish , her tone flat .
" Trust me - I know this better than you ever could . " Sharon didn't mention anything Yolanda had said , but watching Teresa's indifference , it hit her : there was no way things between mother and daughter would ever go back to how they used to be . As soon as Charles stepped off the stairs , his eyes landed on Ethan sitting right there in the living room . When Ethan heard footsteps from upstairs , he hurriedly got up from the couch and called out , " Charlie ! " Seeing it was Ethan , Charles couldn't help but knit his brows in surprise .
18:42 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 315 Still , as he walked over , his face broke into a smile and he greeted , " Hey , Ethan . " Ethan looked at Charles and asked , " Where's Naomi ? " ( 42 65 vouchers It was only then that Charles remembered Naomi , but honestly , he had no clue where she'd gone . He frowned , thinking for a moment , then told Ethan , " She went out for a walk . " Ethan didn't have any reason to doubt him , but he still sounded a little unsure . " Yeah , alright ." With that , he unzipped his backpack and started pulling stuff out , piece by piece .
As Ethan unpacked , he said casually , " Hey , I went back to Ternton for the weekend - my dad specially packed all this for Naomi ." On the table , he arranged some real Ternton specialties : tea leaves , black fungus , jars of wild honey ... None of this was really expensive , but it was filled with Dad's care - and that's what made it special . As Charles took in everything spread out on the table , his eyes grew thoughtful and a hint of seriousness crept into his gaze .
Once Ethan had finished unpacking , he looked over at Charles and said , " Dad wants you to bring Naomi back to Ternton for New Year's - he said he wants to make something delicious for you both . " Charles gave a soft , subtle smile . " Got it , Ethan . I'll keep that in mind . "
