Chapter 757

“No need. I’m not that fragile,” Teresa replied. She’d gotten by just fine without bodyguards before, and besides, it was broad daylight and there were cameras everywhere.

“Things are a bit tense right now. Just be careful,” Jonathan insisted.

‘What does he mean by tense?’ Teresa wondered.

Jonathan hadn’t wanted to tell Teresa, worried she’d start overthinking things, but he couldn’t let her keep being so carefree about it. She really needed to be a bit more cautious.

So he finally said, “Last time, Benny took Michael abroad. When they were about to come back, Benny almost got into a car accident.”

“What?” Teresa abruptly turned off the hair dryer. “Why are you only telling me about something this serious now?” she demanded.

“Benny just told me, too. It happened while they were on their way back. Luckily, Benny kept his cool and made sure Mike was somewhere safe with lots of people around, so nothing happened to them,” Jonathan explained.

Teresa went quiet, wondering to herself, ‘Was this just a coincidence, or did someone actually set it up?’

Jonathan fixed his gaze on Teresa. “Either way, you need to be extra careful, especially now that you’re pregnant.”

“Okay.” Teresa didn’t argue this time. She knew Jonathan was only doing it for the baby’s safety.

Jonathan nodded. “I’m going to take a shower.”

“Okay,” Teresa said. As he turned to leave, she finished drying her hair and was just about to lock the door and go to bed.

But then Jonathan came back in. “I’m going to use your bathroom for a shower.”

Teresa was taken aback. “You have your own bathroom.”

“The water pressure in mine sucks. I’ll have someone fix it tomorrow,” Jonathan said, already heading into the bathroom.

Teresa was speechless as she saw him enter the bathroom.

The next morning, after breakfast, Jonathan and Michael were getting ready to head to the airport.

Michael was spinning around excitedly. “This is awesome. I get to go to Járisburg with Mr. Daddy Lime!”

Teresa said, “Be careful on your trip, okay? Mike, don’t wander off. Got it?”

“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll call you every hour, and you have to call me every hour, too,” Michael said, glancing over at Jonathan. Jonathan glanced at Michael, and the two of them exchanged a look, totally in sync without even needing to say a word.

“Did you hear that? Michael wants you to check in with us every hour,” Jonathan said, turning to Teresa.

Teresa didn’t bother exposing him. She thought those two were definitely on the same team now.

“Mom, we’re leaving now!” Michael called out.

“Hold on. Let me put your hat on. It’s a bit windy outside,” Teresa said, making sure Michael was bundled up properly before finally letting him go.

Jonathan picked Michael up. “Alright, we’re off. No need to see us out.”

Looking at those two with their matching faces, Teresa just gave a soft hum in response.

Seeing them leaving, Teresa couldn’t help but notice how even the backs of their heads looked almost identical. ‘Wow, blood really is something else,’ she thought. ‘The way they just raised their eyebrows at each other a moment ago—Michael was seriously Jonathan’s mini-me.’

Teresa had planned to do some laundry before heading to the office. She’d told the babysitter not to come today since Michael wasn’t home.

But when Teresa saw that the laundry basket was already empty and the freshly washed clothes hanging on the balcony, including her underwear and panties, her face flushed. She thought she would do it herself today.

There were only three people in the house, and there was no way Michael had done the laundry. That meant Jonathan must have done it. ‘How early did he get up to do the laundry and cook breakfast?’ she wondered.

Especially when she saw his underwear hanging next to hers, Teresa couldn’t help but picture Jonathan stepping out of her room last night, wrapped in a bathrobe. His tall, well-built figure was faintly outlined beneath the robe.

Teresa quickly slapped her face. ‘What am I even thinking? I’m pregnant! Why am I even thinking about that kind of thing?’
