Before the man could finish, Donald punched him in the arm. Donald said seriously, “I’m not joking. She is my brother’s ex. If you even think about her, my brother will kill you.”

The man said, “Come on. Quit messing with me. You don’t have a brother. You only have a little sister, Cheryl.”

Donald sighed and clarified, “I mean my cousin, Jonathan.” At that, the man’s grin vanished instantly. Everyone knew the name of the CEO of Horizonlead Group.

“Sorry,” the man said. “I was just running my mouth. Your cousin isn’t actually going to kill me, right?”

Donald chuckled. “Luckily, he’s not here, or I couldn’t save you.” The man patted his chest in relief and didn’t dare joke around anymore.

Jennifer picked up some fruit, pastries, and toys for kids, then headed to Teresa’s place. Teresa didn’t let her in, blocking the doorway.

“If you’re here to invite me to your wedding, I’ll be there the day after tomorrow,” Teresa said.

“I brought some things for Mike. I’m hoping I could see him,” Jennifer said.

“Mike is doing just fine. Don’t worry about him. You can leave now,” Teresa replied, starting to close the door.

Jennifer set the things down by the door. “At least take them inside for Mike, okay?” She added, “Besides, maybe you can come to my wedding without Mike. I’ll take you both out for a meal another day instead.”

Teresa’s face darkened. She said expressionlessly, “Mike doesn’t need your charity. Spare him fake concern.”

Jennifer took a deep breath. Every time she and Teresa met, neither of them was in a good mood. But Jennifer had watched online videos of sisters hugging at weddings, crying, and the younger one singing or dancing for the bride. Those touching moments always made Jennifer wish she could have the same.

“You want me to dance for you at your wedding?” Teresa asked. “I’m over four months pregnant. Do you want me to waddle out there and dance for you?”

Jennifer glanced at Teresa, who was wearing a loose, pale purple T-shirt. “Then just don’t wear something too casual that day, and don’t go for a tight dress either. If you’d rather sing for me, I’ll be really touched,” Jennifer suggested.

Teresa let out a cold laugh and said in annoyance, “I’m not good at singing.” With that, Teresa slammed the door shut.

Jennifer stood there a moment, then knocked and called out, “Don’t forget to bring the stuff inside, I’m off now.” There was no response.

Chapter 477

Jennifer had just come downstairs and left the neighborhood when a familiar figure appeared in front of her. It was Sanford. He strolled over and greeted her, “Well, fancy running into you here.”

Jennifer was a bit confused. She didn’t know why Sanford had come.

Sanford said, “I’m just killing time by wandering around. I’ve been hanging out all over Nareigh these days for your wedding, just waiting for the big feast.”

Jennifer smiled. “If you don’t want to stay in the hotel, you can live in my hospital dorm.”

Sanford waved her off with a laugh. “No, thanks. I can’t stand the smell of disinfectant. It gives me the creeps.”

“By the way,” Jennifer said, bringing up Teresa, “Teresa can’t marry you right now. I talked to her about it, and she said no.”

Sanford asked, “Is she still waiting for Jonathan? Did she have a kid with him? I don’t mean Isabel, by the way.”

Jennifer raised her eyebrows and stared at Sanford. Sanford became more serious. “I saw you bought some stuff and went upstairs to see Teresa. Did you pick up toys for a kid, too?”
