Chapter 566

Jonathan said, “She’s got me. She doesn’t need your comfort.”

Sanford sneered and said, “I know her worries and secrets inside out. What about you? I bet you have no idea. Then again, you two are done. An ex is a dead ex.”

Jonathan clenched his fist at his side. He shot Teresa a complicated look and found she had no intention of explaining.

Jonathan then turned to Sanford and said, “I know you’re only getting close to her to get back at me. Stop acting like a child.”

Sanford let out another mocking laugh. “I really hit your nerve, didn’t I? You can’t even argue back. Face it. You don’t know Teresa half as well as I do, or you wouldn’t be so desperate to take her away.”

Jonathan’s jaw clenched. He ignored Sanford and moved to pull Teresa away.

Teresa pulled her hand away from Jonathan’s. She said, “I’m tired. I can go back by myself.”

Jonathan lowered his gaze, feeling that his empty palm had lost its grip on everything. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Since you’re tired, why didn’t you go rest, but still have the energy for coffee after the concert?”

Teresa froze for a second. She wondered, “How does he know I went to the concert? Was he there too?”

Jonathan clearly caught a flicker of panic in Teresa’s eyes, but he had no idea why.

Jonathan said, “I had Miriam give you the concert ticket. Who else could’ve gotten you front-row seats?”

Teresa finally understood. She had thought Jonathan had been there too.

Sanford pulled out his wallet and said, “It’s just the ticket price, right? How much is it? I’ll pay you back for her.”

Jonathan sneered, “Save it. I’m not short of an illegitimate child’s pocket change.”

Sanford’s face instantly darkened. He snapped, “Alright, Jonathan. You’re really something.”

He added, “I was going to tell you a thing or two about Teresa, but on second thought, I won’t.”

Jonathan said, “She’ll tell me herself if there’s anything I need to know. I’m certainly not about to listen to you. If you keep hounding her, I won’t hold back.”

Jonathan wrapped his arm firmly around Teresa’s shoulder and led her away.

Sanford didn’t chase them. He simply stood there and coldly watched Jonathan, who also put on a cold composure.

“I can walk by myself,” Teresa protested.

Jonathan ignored her struggles and resistance. He bundled her into the car and started it.

After driving for a while, Jonathan realized he was going too fast. Seeing Teresa’s face, which turned pale and silent with fear, he slowed down and pulled over.

Jonathan broke the silence, “Teresa, we need to talk things through.”

Teresa looked away and said, “I’ve said all there is to say about us. There’s nothing left to discuss.”

Jonathan said, “Would you rather talk to Sanford than me? When I asked what was bothering you, you wouldn’t tell me, but you were open to him."

“I wanted to cheer you up, so I asked Miriam to take you out. I even waited outside your place because I was worried about you driving at night. But you go running to him instead?”

Teresa shot back, “What makes you think I went running to him? He called me, and he wanted to see me.”

Jonathan said, “He wanted to see you, and you just went to him? Is it really that easy for anyone to see you? When you come back, you give me the cold shoulder. What the hell did I ever do to deserve this?”

Teresa was speechless. She said, “I told you I was in a bad mood and it had nothing to do with you, but you just had to take it personally."

“I had no idea the ticket Miriam gave me was from you. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have gone there. I’ll pay you back for mine and Miriam’s ticket. How much were they?”

Jonathan’s expression turned completely cold. He fell silent, restarted the car, and drove off.

Teresa noticed that Jonathan was not turning toward her place. She asked, “Where are you taking me?”

However, all she got was silence.
