' Charles thought bitterly . Seeing Teresa's face streaked with tears only made him angrier . All at once , he lunged forward and grabbed her chin in a harsh grip .
His fingers gripped her jaw mercilessly , almost crushing it . Even when she winced from the pain , he showed no intention of letting go . Teresa couldn't stand the sharp pain anymore .

Even as she slept , tears kept spilling from her eyes , trailing down her cheeks in silent sorrow .
Charles kept telling himself he didn't care if the woman next to him made it through the night , but every time the car paused at another red light , he found himself sneaking a glance at her . Once they arrived at the gates of Joyacre Villa , Charles got out , circled around to the passenger side , and bent down to lift Teresa gently into his arms . Just as Charles was carrying Teresa to the lobby entrance , the jostling made her retch instinctively . " Blegh ... She didn't even have time to turn away - she vomited all over Charles .

For Teresa to fall apart like this , there had to be something weighing heavy on her heart . While Sharon was still piecing it together in her head , Charles was already peeling off his coat , not bothering to hide his annoyance as he tossed out , " Look after her . " Sharon nodded immediately , almost on reflex . " Yes , Mr. Logan . " Once Sharon agreed , Charles didn't hesitate - he just chucked his coat right over the mess Teresa had made . Only when the coat covered the mess did the tension finally ease from his brow . With that , Charles didn't spare Teresa so much as a backward glance .
He strode straight upstairs , leaving her behind . Once Charles had gone upstairs , Sharon walked over , her face etched with worry . She gently grasped Teresa's shoulders , her voice thick with concern as she asked , " Mrs. Logan , how did you let yourself end up like this ? " Teresa was clearly out of it - after vomiting , she burst into a few dazed giggles before sprawling flat on the couch , lost in a drunken haze . Sharon couldn't move Teresa , so she fetched some warm water , gently wiped her clean , and tucked a blanket over her .
By the time Sharon had cleaned up the mess in the living room , Teresa was already fast asleep . Sharon couldn't bring herself to wake her , so she just laid out a makeshift bed on the floor right there in the living room . Teresa woke up just after three in the morning , her throat parched and burning . When she opened her eyes , her mind was a total mess - she had no clue where she was or how she'd gotten there . After lying there in a daze for what felt like forever , Teresa finally started to take in her surroundings .
It was 17:16 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 345 only then that she realized she was back at Joyacre Villa . But as for how she'd gotten home , Teresa couldn't remember a thing . Instinctively , she reached for her phone - and sure enough , it was right there beside her pillow . She picked it up and saw several WhatsApp messages , all from Sylvia . The first one read : [ Teresa , did you make it home okay ? ] The second one : [ Teresa , if you're sober now , hit me up . I need to talk to you .
] ମୂକ୍ଷ୍ମା 52 55 vouchers After those two messages , at , Sylvia sent another one : [ Teresa , what exactly did Troy say to you ? ] And just seven minutes ago , Sylvia had texted again : [ Do you have Troy's WhatsApp ? Could you send it over ? ] Teresa clutched her phone , feeling completely out of it . She'd always suspected Troy's kindness might not be genuine , but now that the truth was staring her in the face , she just couldn't wrap her head around it . She'd come up with a million reasons why Troy might be nice to her , but this - this was the one thing she never saw coming .
Staring blankly at her phone for ages , Teresa simply typed back to Sylvia : " Mm . " Right after that , still numb , she sent Troy's WhatsApp contact straight to Sylvia . After handing off Troy's WhatsApp contact , Teresa sprawled out on the couch , eyes fixed on the ceiling . Even though she tried to push it aside , she couldn't shake the weird ache gnawing at her heart , leaving her feeling empty and unsettled . She couldn't help herself - before she knew it , she was sighing again and again , the sound heavy and tired .
The moment Teresa sighed , Sharon - camped out on the living room floor - snapped awake , startled by the gloomy noise . Sharon blinked awake at the sound . " Mrs. Logan , you're up ? " she asked , voice gentle and a little surprised . Teresa looked over in confusion . " Sharon ... ? " she murmured , not quite sure what was going on . Sharon pushed herself up , speaking kindly . " Yes , it's me . Mr. Logan wanted me to keep an eye on you . " Teresa blinked , still a little dazed . " So ... how did I get home ? " " Mr. Logan carried you back himself , " Sharon said . Teresa went quiet .

" 17:16 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 345 52 55 vouchers Thinking about how the divorce had fallen through that day , Teresa let out a short , bitter laugh , self- deprecating as she said , " Maybe . I suppose that's something . " Noticing Teresa's off mood , Sharon ventured softly , " Mrs. Logan , Miss Yolanda's back as well . " Teresa answered absentmindedly , " Mm ." Sharon could hear the distance in Teresa's tone , but she wouldn't give up .
" Do you want to go upstairs and check on Miss Yolanda ? " Teresa pulled the blanket up , her voice flat and final . " No. " Sharon hesitated , wanting to say more , but Teresa didn't give her a chance . " Seriously , Sharon , just go back to your room and get some rest . I'm really fine ." Seeing there was no point in arguing , Sharon finally gave in and headed back to her room . Teresa didn't bother heading upstairs . She just ended up slumped on the couch , spending the whole night there . Teresa was the first one awake the next morning , up before anyone else .
