Chapter 342

Teresa was never one to tolerate bullies. She replied calmly, โ€œWhatever. If you ruin the door, youโ€™ll have to pay for it.โ€ Then she hung up.

She told herself she wouldn't go downstairs just because he was drunk. But even as she said it, she couldnโ€™t help sneaking a peek from the balcony. Sure enough, she saw that familiar, drunken figure. Michaelโ€™s bedroom door was still open; he was fast asleep. She didnโ€™t know what would happen if Jonathan came upstairs. Given Michaelโ€™s sensitivity, heโ€™d undoubtedly wake up from Jonathanโ€™s scent. Teresa desperately wanted to prevent Jonathan from coming upstairs and waking Michael at this hour.

She headed down and grabbed his arm as he was about to enter the elevator. โ€œWhat are you doing this time?โ€

Jonathan stopped. He stared at Teresa for a long time before saying, โ€œIโ€™ve taken care of everything for you.โ€

Teresa, confused, asked, โ€œWhat do you mean?โ€

Jonathan explained, โ€œYou said there were three things you couldnโ€™t stand. First, you didnโ€™t want your sister controlling youโ€”done. She wonโ€™t live with you. Second, you didnโ€™t want my mother pestering you. She promised me she wouldnโ€™t call you again. Last, you didnโ€™t want to be tangled up with me.โ€ His voice faltered slightly on that last part. He continued, โ€œIโ€™ve wrapped up all my work in Nareigh. At most, Iโ€™ll go back two or three times a year, maybe not at all.โ€

Teresa finally understood. She frowned. โ€œThatโ€™s not necessary. You donโ€™t have toโ€ฆโ€

Before she could finish, Jonathan cut her off. โ€œJust answer me: do you prefer Nareigh or here? Be honest with me.โ€

Even though he was seriously drunk, a trace of sensibility lingered in his dark eyes. Teresa answered truthfully, โ€œNareigh.โ€ Nareigh was where she was born and raised, where all her closest friends were. Of course, she felt at home there.

Jonathan said, โ€œSee? You can stop being stubborn. Go back to Nareigh. Donโ€™t worry about meโ€”just pretend that Iโ€™m dead.โ€ He turned to leave.

Teresa hurried after him and blocked his path. โ€œYou drove here, didnโ€™t you? Are you planning to drive back like this?โ€

โ€œMy driver dropped me off. I asked him to leave,โ€ Jonathan said, pushing Teresa away. โ€œAlright, go pack your things. The sooner you get back to Nareigh, the less youโ€™ll have to see me.โ€

Watching him stumble, Teresa couldnโ€™t leave him like that. She decided to drive him to a hotel and hurried to her car. Before Jonathan could hail a cab, Teresaโ€™s car was already in front of him.

Teresa said, โ€œSeriously, arenโ€™t you embarrassed? You seem a successful businessman, but youโ€™re drunk every day.โ€

Jonathan retorted, โ€œWhy? Successful businessmen arenโ€™t allowed to drink?โ€

Teresa snapped, not in the mood to argue, โ€œDo you not know your limits? What if you run into a robber? Theyโ€™d tie you up, rob you, strip you naked, and dump you on the road. Thatโ€™d be a real laughingstock. Just get in the car.โ€

In the end, Jonathan got into Teresaโ€™s car.

Teresa asked, โ€œShould I drop you off at the Golden Diamond Hotel?โ€

โ€œNo need,โ€ Jonathan replied. โ€œI asked Donald and your sister to take my hotel room.โ€

Teresa fell silent. Then Jonathan told her to drop him off at the Jadeleaf Apartment. She turned the car around.

While waiting at a red light, Teresa quickly texted Miriam: โ€œ[Miriam, Iโ€™m heading out. If you get home early, check if Michael is asleep; donโ€™t wake him up.]โ€ Sheโ€™d barely sent the message before Miriam replied with a voice message. Teresa was about to click on it when the light turned green. She put her phone down.

After they arrived at the Jadeleaf Apartment, Teresa parked the car, and suddenly, Jonathanโ€™s head slumped onto her shoulder. Teresa froze, then turned to the man whose head rested on her shoulder. She said, โ€œHere we are. Wake up.โ€
