Chapter 194
After lunch, Cristina took the two kids to their room. Theresa and Charlie went back to their room. After closing the
door, she heard Charlie asking, “Is there a grudge between Cristina and Jimmy?”
Theresa paused for a moment and looked back at the man. “Why do you ask me? I don’t know much about. her.”
Even if she knew, she would not tell him. Charlie said, “I see you two are pretty close. I thought you knew.”
“I don’t.” Theresa sat down beside him and played dumb.
“I think she has a mental problem. She scolds everyone in sight,” Charlie said.
He had thought that Cristina was mean only to him. Now that Jimmy was also scolded, he felt much better. Theresa
smiled, “I don’t think so. Maybe she has an eye for people and can tell good ones from bad ones. I get
along with her and think she’s pretty nice.”

Theresa coughed awkwardly. “Maybe she was dissatisfied with your attitude towards Leonard.”
Charlie recalled it. When he was talking to Cristina, he indeed talked ill of Leonard. So, Cristina scolded him because
of that?
Seeing that he agreed with her opinion, Theresa asked, “Are you going to work?”
Charlie raised his head, laid his eyes on her face, and suddenly smiled, “What, you don’t want me to go?”
Theresa glared at him and chuckled, “Don’t flatter yourself. I have to live on the whims of you when you’re
around.”
“This is for you.” Charlie good-naturedly handed her a bank card.
Theresa took it and asked, “What’s this?”
“Your salary.”
Theresa looked at him incredulously, “So soon? It hasn’t been a month yet.”
Charlie teased her, “Give it back if you don’t want it.”
“I want it.” She had run out of money.
She had thought she could earn money from treating Charlie. She hadn’t expected it to be put off for so long.
Being around him all day, she had to stop her other work.
She asked, “What’s the password?”
“881109,” Charlie replied. “My birthday.”
She looked at him in surprise. “It’s upcoming.”
“Yeah,” Charlie said. “Remember to prepare a gift for me.
Theresa laughed, “Don’t tell me that you give me money so that I can prepare a birthday present for you.” Charlie
asked back, “Isn’t it normal for you to prepare it for someone you like?”

“Even if I said I like you, it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Besides, I didn’t specify what kind of
affection it is.”
“Which kind is that?” Charlie looked unhappy, and his tone turned cold.
He admitted that he was delighted to hear that she liked him. However, she claimed that it was not the kind of
affection he thought.
“Something like family affection. Like what I showed to Leonard, Ben, my dad, and my family,” she replied.
She didn’t know why, but she didn’t want to admit her feelings for him. It was a soft spot in her mind. She
didn’t want others to see it.
Charlie snorted, “I don’t want to be your dad or your son.
“What do you want to be then?”
He looked into her eyes and enunciated, “I want to be the only person in your eyes and heart.”
