Chapter 420

โ€œAlright, Iโ€™ll reach out to Teresa once the DNA test results for Isabel and Teresa are in,โ€ Sanford said, then left.

Teresa turned to Jennifer. โ€œSee? Good thing I never let him meet Michael. Do you think he could keep something like that under wraps?โ€

Jennifer frowned. โ€œSanford really let me down. He never used to be like this. I donโ€™t know whatโ€™s gotten into him this time.โ€

โ€œAnd you,โ€ she turned her frustration on Teresa, โ€œwhatโ€™s your deal? Youโ€™ve let me down, too.โ€

Teresa fell silent.

โ€œYou slept with Jonathan again when you went on that business trip?โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s it to you?โ€

โ€œHow is it not my business?โ€ Jennifer grabbed Teresaโ€™s wrist. โ€œIโ€™m your big sister. Itโ€™s my job to teach you about morals and decency.โ€

Hearing Jennifer talk about โ€œmorals and decency,โ€ Teresa found it laughable. โ€œYour job transfer and promotion were all thanks to Jonathanโ€™s connections. You promised me youโ€™d leave Nareigh for Shaville, but you broke your word. And youโ€™re perfectly fine spending the money Donaldโ€™s parents gave him, letting him buy you a house. So tell me, how do you have the nerve to lecture me about morals and decency?โ€

Jennifer snapped, โ€œWhy are you dragging me into this? I just donโ€™t want you to get mixed up with Jonathan again. Iโ€™m doing this for your own goodโ€”I donโ€™t want you to make the same mistakes. Heโ€™d already left Nareigh. But now, thanks to you running off on that business trip and getting tangled up with him again, heโ€™s back. And now he even thinks youโ€™re pregnant.โ€

Teresa shot back, โ€œIsnโ€™t that what youโ€™re here for? The all-powerful Dr. Nelson who can โ€˜fixโ€™ any DNA test. With you around, what do I have to worry about? Go ahead and keep climbing that career ladder. Iโ€™m sure your precious nephew will help you become director.โ€

โ€œYou!โ€ Jennifer was so mad at Teresaโ€™s sharp tongue that she could barely speak. She tried to calm herself down. Right now, she cared more about the fate of the child in her womb. โ€œWhen are you coming with me for the abortion? I canโ€™t go alone, Teresa. I need you there.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m not going with you. Itโ€™s your babyโ€”whether you keep it or not, thatโ€™s your call.โ€ Teresa turned to leave, her tone cold and final.

Jennifer froze for a second before blocking her path. โ€œI care so much about your feelings. But why canโ€™t you ever see things from my side? Do you really think Iโ€™m that heartless? If I have this baby, Iโ€™ll lose everything. Iโ€™ll fall behind, all my years of hard work wasted. My classmates and junior colleagues will laugh at me for giving up my career to be a stay-at-home mom, turning into a housewife. My whole life plan will be ruined. I donโ€™t want to be cruel to the baby, but I canโ€™t stand the thought of anyone looking down on me. Iโ€™m so torn up.โ€

Teresa yanked her hand free. โ€œFirst of all, no one ever told you to give up your career. You can have bothโ€”career and family. Youโ€™re the one overthinking it. Youโ€™re not even thirty and already an associate professor. Jennifer, youโ€™re already amazing, and your classmates envy your life. Who would look down on you?โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re the first to look down on me,โ€ Jennifer said with a bitter smile. โ€œWithout Jonathan pulling strings, Donald, you, and I would all be better. Itโ€™s all because he helped. Otherwise, Iโ€™d be in Shaville by now, and everything would beโ€”โ€

โ€œEnough.โ€ Teresa couldnโ€™t understand Jenniferโ€™s logic. Jonathan helped her, and not only was she ungrateful, but she even blamed him for messing up her plans. After a pause, Teresa continued, โ€œWhy donโ€™t you blame Donald for the car accident that ruined your plans? Why is it Jonathanโ€™s fault?โ€

Jennifer took a deep breath. โ€œWeโ€™re sisters. Now youโ€™re taking Jonathanโ€™s side and blaming me?โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re the problem here. You always blame everyone else. Youโ€™re so self-righteous. Seriously, you need therapy.โ€ With that, Teresa walked away for good.

Jenniferโ€™s eyes flushed red, and she clenched her fingers so tightly that her fingertips started to ache.

After a while, Jennifer thought it over and texted Teresa: [Teresa, Iโ€™m just really stressed out. I was a bit on edge earlier and said some things I shouldnโ€™t have. I hope you can understand.]

Teresa didnโ€™t respond.

Sanford had already gotten the DNA test report for Isabel and Teresa. The last page said the results supported that they were related, but there wasnโ€™t enough evidence to prove they were actually mother and daughter. Sanford got the two copies of the report and called Teresa. โ€œThe results are outโ€”Isabel really is your sister. Alright, I was wrong. You guys didnโ€™t even tell me her last name is Davis.โ€

โ€œShe used to have her dadโ€™s last name, Wilson. After my mom divorced her second husband, she changed it to her own. You took your momโ€™s last name, too, so whatโ€™s so strange about it?โ€ Teresa replied.

Sanford paused, then said with a loaded tone, โ€œDonโ€™t you want to know my dadโ€™s last name?โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t care about your personal life. Now that everythingโ€™s out in the open, just donโ€™t bother me again, alright? Iโ€™ll pay you back within a month,โ€ Teresa said and hung up.

Sanford sent her a copy of the report. Teresa immediately forwarded it to Jonathan, figuring he wouldnโ€™t keep digging into the kid anymore.

After finally wrapping everything up, Teresa headed home, with Isabel tagging along. Isabel insisted she wanted Evelyn, and Teresa felt a massive headache coming on. After a long struggle, she finally managed to coax Isabel to sleep.

Michael woke up. โ€œMom, did you get in touch with Dad yet? My birthdayโ€™s coming upโ€”will he come see me?โ€ he asked.

Teresaโ€™s long lashes fluttered. โ€œIโ€™m still trying to reach him.โ€

Michael let out a little huff and stared up at her. โ€œMom, look me in the eyes and tell meโ€”did Dad really leave us?โ€

โ€œOf course not,โ€ Teresa said, meeting his gaze. โ€œItโ€™s just that your dad and I havenโ€™t talked in a long time.โ€

Michael thought for a second and said, โ€œMom, if you canโ€™t find my dad, I wonโ€™t make things hard for you. Just call Mr. Lime instead, okay? I havenโ€™t seen him in forever.โ€

Just then, Evelyn calledโ€”Teresa had actually been about to call her. โ€œHello, Ms. Davis? You need to come back and pick up Isabel. I canโ€™t take care of her anymore. Iโ€™ve got so much going on every day, and I just donโ€™t have the money, time, or energy to look after your daughter.โ€

Evelyn sighed, her voice low, โ€œIโ€™ll be back tomorrow, and I have something important I need to talk to you about.โ€
