Monica , who had been snuggled up against Yvonne , perked up at the sound of Troy's voice and chirped sweetly , " Uncle Troy ! " Troy sat down beside the bed and reached out his big hand to Monica . " Come here , Monica . Let Uncle Troy chat with you for a minute , okay ? " Monica hesitated , her eyes flicking to Yvonne , silently asking for her mom's permission . Yvonne smiled and nodded .

After calming Monica down , Troy stood up by the bed . As Yvonne pulled Monica back into her arms , she looked at Troy , her heart full of gratitude . " Thank you , Mr. Hamilton . " Troy glanced at Yvonne , his voice tinged with guilt . " I was late today .

If I'd got here sooner , Monica wouldn't have been hurt like that . " Yvonne shook her head , eyes reddened . " It's not you who should be blaming yourself . " Troy didn't say more . He just told her , " Take Monica and get some rest , Yvonne . " Yvonne nodded . " Okay , why don't you take Teresa out for a bit , let her get some fresh air ?

" Well then , I'll leave you young folks to your own business ." There was more to her words than met the ear , and Troy couldn't help blushing , his ear tips burning . After standing around the hospital room for a bit , Troy just grabbed Teresa and walked her out . Once they were outside , Teresa shook off his hand . " I want to stick with Monica and Yvonne . If there's anything you need to do , go ahead and take care of it yourself . " Troy just ignored her and squinted at Teresa . " You haven't already forgotten what Monica just said , have you ?

" Teresa turned away , refusing to meet his gaze . " Kids say the darndest things . " Troy smirked as he stepped closer to Teresa . " You know , if the two of us end up together , it'd be great for 17:14 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 338 : 53 55 vouchers Monica . She'd see what real love and family are like - and we could totally be awesome role models for her . " Teresa heard him , but didn't bother to reply . She just kept her lips sealed .

I just genuinely wanted to take you out for a bit ." Teresa shook her head . " No , I want to go back to the room and stay with Yvonne and Monica ," Troy's shoulders slumped , and he just said , " Oh ." You could totally tell he was feeling down . Teresa glanced up at him and saw there were still beads of sweat dotting his forehead . Thinking about how Troy had just comforted Monica - and remembering he was still injured , his wound could tear open and start bleeding again any second - Teresa suddenly felt too soft - hearted to leave him on his own .

' What if he runs into trouble out there by himself ? ' Teresa worried , anxiety gnawing at her . Not wanting to think any further , she let out a helpless sigh and said to Troy , " Let me walk you back . Seriously , it's not a big deal - I just don't want Yvonne worrying about you ." At those words , Troy's expression instantly flipped from gloomy to elated . " My mom honestly wouldn't give a damn . She always jokes I might as well drop dead outside . " As Teresa headed for the elevator , she said over her shoulder , " You know she's just blowing off steam with stuff like that .

She doesn't mean it ." Troy caught up to her , his voice full of playful teasing . " Wow , guess you really know your future mother - in- law pretty well , huh ? " Teresa didn't say a word as they waited for the elevator . The elevator's mirrored wall caught her reflection , and Troy watched it , a quietly satisfied grin tugging at his lips . Seeing Teresa had left some space between them , Troy slyly sidled a little closer . Troy's voice sounded from right above Teresa's head , almost teasing . " My mom's always on my case about getting married . What's your take on that ?

" Teresa stayed perfectly still , her eyes locked on the elevator's glowing numbers . " We're at that age ... It's what people expect , isn't it ? " Troy grinned . " Exactly . So once you sign those divorce papers in a few days , I'll be standing next door with my passport , waiting for my turn . The second you're free , I'm getting that marriage certificate with you - because 17:15 Mon , Oct 20 ... 53 Chapter 338 honestly , I can't stand being single for even a second if you're around .

" 55 vouchers The elevator hadn't arrived yet , and with nobody else around , Teresa finally turned around , looked up at Troy , all seriousness in her eyes . " Troy , you and I are just never going to happen . Honestly , Miss Harris is way more your type . You two have matching family backgrounds , you're both talented and attractive - it's like the perfect match , everything just fits better that way . " Troy's face hardened . " You really think she's better than you ? " Teresa didn't pause . " Yeah . She is .

" Troy pressed his tongue against his cheek , that intense , domineering energy practically radiating off him . His voice dropped low and dangerous . " Keep talking like that , and I might just take you , whether you agree or not . I'm not a nice guy , Teresa - if I set my mind on someone or something , I'll stop at nothing to make it mine . But when it comes to you , I'd rather you came to me willingly ... Still , if you ever refuse , I don't care who you belong to I'll steal you away for myself . " Teresa stared at him , stunned . " Troy , you ...

" His gaze rose , jaw tight , though he didn't meet her eyes . Troy's voice was icy , leaving no room for doubt . " When I say something , I mean it ." 曲
