Chapter 436 Chapter 437 Chapter 437 Charles never really saw everything Teresa did for him. But Troy? He never missed a thing when it came to Teresa, no matter how big or small. Just then, Troy reached out and tugged at Teresa's sleeve. 55 vouchers Teresa looked up at him with a puzzled look, and Troy gestured with a tilt of his head toward the hospital bed. She turned to look and saw that Yolanda was already awake.
Seeing Yolanda awake, Teresa turned to her, worry in her voice, and asked, "Yolanda, are you feeling any better?" Yolanda turned her face away, acting like Teresa didn't even exist. Teresa couldn't help but feel a bit surprised by Yolanda's attitude. But she'd gotten used to this a long time ago. After thinking it over, Teresa sighed, a bit defeated, and said, "Since you're feeling better, I'll head back now." With that, Teresa stood up. Yolanda kept silent, not even sparing Teresa a glance.
Seeing Yolanda act like that, Troy clenched his fists so hard it felt like he was holding back a storm of anger. If she weren't Teresa's daughter, Troy would've given her a piece of his mind, no doubt about it. Teresa was about to walk out of the room, but she just couldn't hold back anymore. She turned back, stood by the bed, and said to Yolanda, "Yolanda, you're not a little kid anymore. You need to learn how to take care of yourself. Once your dad and Miss Naomi get married, you'll really have to look out for yourself.
They'll have their own family to look after, and..." Hearing that, Yolanda snapped, her voice full of anger, "Stop trying to turn us against each other! Miss Naomi would never do that!" Teresa didn't bother explaining herself. She just said, "Get some rest, and make sure you drink some warm water. I'll head out now." With that, she walked out of the hospital room. Troy caught up to her, threw his arm around Teresa's shoulders, and joked, "When we have our own kid someday, that little one will be our treasure, right?" Teresa didn't say anything. 16:56 Fri, Dec 19 M.
Chapter 437 She knew Troy was saying it on purpose for Yolanda to hear, so she just let it slide. 49 E55 vouchers When Yolanda heard Troy say that to Teresa, she just swiped everything off the table in a fit of rage. Things crashed to the floor, and Sharon, who was standing nearby, was so startled that she just stood there, completely frozen, unable to say a word. Yolanda stared at the door, yelling at Teresa and Troy's backs as they left, "You're a terrible mom! I wish I never had a mom like you!" Even though Teresa could hear Yolanda yelling after her, she didn't even bother to look back.
Just like that, Teresa and Troy vanished from Yolanda's view. Then Yolanda turned to Sharon and said, "Hand me the phone, I'm calling my dad." Sharon handed it over, and Yolanda snatched it right out of her hand. After she dialed Charles's number, she had to wait a long moment before he finally answered. Before Charles could even get a word in, Yolanda blurted out, "Dad, will you always love me?" Charles had just finished breakfast and was about to help clear the table when the phone rang-it was Sharon calling.

When he answered, he was surprised to hear Yolanda's voice, and the question she blurted out caught him even more off guard. Charles was a bit taken aback, but he still answered, "I love you, and Daddy will always love you." Yolanda pressed, her voice trembling a little, "And what about Miss Naomi? Will she always love me too?" Charles glanced over at Naomi, who was busy clearing away the dishes. Noticing his look, Naomi asked, sounding a bit confused, "What's up?" "It's Yolanda calling," Charles replied. At that, Naomi dried her hands on a towel and walked over.
She took the phone, her voice gentle as she said, "Yolanda." Yolanda was crying as she demanded, "Miss Naomi, will you always love me?" Naomi hesitated, not really wanting to answer, but she still replied quietly, "Yes." Hearing Naomi's answer, Yolanda finally felt at ease. "Hmph, that mean mom was lying to me again. She said once you and Dad have your own baby, you won't love me anymore." Naomi gave a gentle smile and said, "Yolanda, even if your dad and I have our own baby someday, you'll still be our little treasure." Yolanda grinned from ear to ear. "Miss Naomi, I love you best!
That bad mom-I'm not talking to her ever 16:56 Fri, Dec 19 M Chapter 437 again." ... : 49 E55 vouchers Naomi chatted with Yolanda for a while, saying whatever she could to comfort and reassure her. Even though Ava was busy clearing the table, she was listening in the whole time, keeping tabs on everything happening nearby. When she heard Yolanda acting up again, Ava gritted her teeth in frustration. Once the call ended, Ava Yates looked up with a cheerful grin and said, "Charles, when winter break rolls around, why not let Yolanda stay with me?
I'll be looking after your uncle anyway, so I can keep an eye on her too. You guys are always swamped with work, so just leave her to me. That way, you won't have to stress about her at all, right?" Charles didn't say yes right away. He just shrugged and said, "Let's talk about it later." Seeing that Charles didn't agree right away, Ava grinned and joked, "What, you don't trust me? Relax, I'll take great care of Yolanda-she's your kid, which means she's Naomi's too.
Besides, maybe it's about time you two had a little one of your own..." As Ava kept going, Naomi noticed that Charles's expression had turned sour. She shot Ava a look and subtly shook her head, signaling her to stop before things got awkward. Ava finally took the hint and shut up just in time. Charles didn't take offense. He just said to Aunt Ava, "Aunt Ava, having a baby is risky, and Naomi's afraid of the pain, so Naomi and I decided not to have any more kids." Ava got really upset and pushed back, "How can that be okay?
If you two don't have a baby, everyone will say my Naomi is selfish for sure." Charles didn't get upset at Ava's words. Instead, he shot Naomi a look, clearly leaving it to her to handle the rejection. But what really caught Charles off guard was when Ava suddenly changed the subject and said, "Charles, I'm willing to have a baby with you." Charles was stunned for a moment, then asked, a little confused, "You're not scared anymore?" Naomi took a deep breath and said, her voice steady, "For you, I'm not afraid of anything." Instead of feeling any joy, Charles's mind drifted to Teresa.
When Teresa gave birth to Yolanda, she lost so much blood that the doctors had to replace it all-she was right at death's door, and they fought desperately to save her life. Thinking back, he must've been terrified at the time. Noticing he seemed lost in thought, Naomi asked curiously, "Charles, what are you thinking about?" Charles shook his head, forcing thoughts of Teresa out of his mind. He turned to Naomi and said, "Nothing, 16:56 Fri, Dec 19 M..
Chapter 437 let's get back to cleaning up." 49 B55 vouchers After they finished cleaning up together, Charles and Naomi finally walked out of the kitchen. But as soon as they stepped out, Ava came over, holding a red envelope that was bulging with cash. Ava handed the envelope to Charles and said, "Charles, this is from me-just my way of showing I care. It may not be much, but please accept it." Charles stared at the envelope, totally baffled. Seeing Charles looking so lost, Naomi smiled and explained, "Charles, it's just how things work around here.
Whenever someone brings their boyfriend or girlfriend home, the family elders always hand out a red envelope-a little cash gift-to show they care." That realization hit Charles hard-when he married Teresa, they hadn't gone through any of the usual customs or formalities at all. "Charles?" Naomi softly called out to him, seeing he was spaced out again. He came back to himself, hesitated a bit, but ended up taking the envelope anyway. As soon as he took the envelope, Charles immediately passed it straight to Naomi without a second thought.
"Charles, what are you doing?" Naomi gave him a puzzled look. Charles murmured, his voice low, "You hold onto it. From now on, everything of mine-you keep it safe." Naomi couldn't help but smile, but her eyes instantly grew misty with emotion. AD Comment Send gift No Ads 16:56 Fri, Dec 19 M.
