One Meet By Chance

Chapter 28 As Warm As Spring

Teresa, who was sent home ahead of time, quietly sat in the rocking chair and enjoyed the warm afternoon that belongs to her alone.

Maybe it was too easy and comfortable. Teresa fell asleep in the chair. But the furrowed brows seemed to show that she was not as peaceful as she looked.

In the dream, the surrounding environment was still the sun like blood, and the person was still scarred Jerome. But this time, he just looked at her without saying anything.

"Do you forget how much I have done for you? Leave here and don't come back,"

He said in a cold tone and then disappeared in her dream. Teresa woke up abruptly. Looking at the surrounding environment and the warm sunshine, she felt extremely cold in her heart.

He was indeed blaming her. Did he pretend not to know her the other day?

Then Teresa picked up her phone and dialed the familiar number. This time, she called it with all her courage.

As soon as she heard the sound of "beep", she immediately hung up the phone. It turned out that the number could still be connected after so long a time.

Teresa suddenly regretted hanging up the phone so decisively just now. Anyway, her number was just a strange number on Jerome's phone. Moreover, it had been five years and the owner of the phone was probably changed.

But what would she say if Jerome did answer the phone? 'I should have hung up the phone. At least, it wouldn't be awkward, ' Teresa thought in her heart.

Teresa suddenly felt that she was so small and cowardly. In this world, she could only change herself. What would happen to her in the end? Would she never have a chance to go back to that warm home?

It was past seven when Enrique got home from work. He heard from the housekeeper that Teresa had been in his study all the time, and though she had been called out for dinner at six o'clock, she had insisted on waiting until he came back.

It wasn't for any other reason. It's just that Teresa thought she was too lonely to eat alone. She would rather wait for Enrique to come back, because at least there was someone arguing with her.

Enrique took off his suit and went to the study to see what Teresa was doing. He tiptoed to open the door of the study room, only to find that Teresa had fallen asleep at the table!

Enrique felt helpless. Originally he was afraid to disturb her reading, but now it seemed that he should not disturb her sleep!

When he let his guard down, he ignored a thick book that Teresa accidentally knocked off. Therefore, he kicked the book and hit the desk which Teresa leaned over.

When Teresa woke up, she looked at the man with a confused and unhappy face, but she didn't expect that her sleeping position was so uncomfortable that she would twist her neck.

"Oh, my neck!" Feeling that, Teresa could not help but scream painfully and her resentment for Enrique deepened.

"You little fool." Enrique shook his head and came forward to give her a massage.

The moment his hand touched her, Teresa shuddered as if she got an electric shock. All of a sudden, the scene he had whispered in her ear that morning came to her mind.

Her face turned pink again and she pushed Enrique's hand away.

"I can do it myself."

Enrique was in a good mood as he watched her look sheepish and shy. The idea of making fun of her came to his mind immediately.

"It's okay. You have waited for me for such a long time. I should have helped you to reduce your pain." He whispered in her ear again.

Teresa felt that her face was burning, so she guessed that her face must be very red.

She lowered her head, wishing to throw herself under the table. When Teresa inadvertently turned her head and found Enrique's laughter, she knew that she was being teased by him again.

"Enrique! You are really shameless! "

Teresa gave him a push, however, Enrique grabbed her arms.

"I mean it. Thank you for waiting for me so late. It's been a long time since the last time someone waited for me at home."

Looking at the sincere expression on Enrique's face, Teresa finally believed that he was actually expressing his gratitude to her.

But it had also been a long time since she had waited for someone to come home for dinner. When she was abroad, she was alone every day. She lived alone in a terribly quiet apartment every day. So she'd rather work overtime than stay in the apartment for ten more minutes.

Teresa liked to live in China. Only when she was here did she really feel that people lived in groups. She liked the buzz here. She felt that this atmosphere was real life.

During the dinner, they seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. Occasionally, they would argue with each other out of jokes. The atmosphere became good and the emotion between them became deeper.

But Teresa did not expect that the first thing Enrique would do after meal was not to deal with his own business, but to follow her into her room.

"What are you doing here?" Teresa asked as she could not understand.

"Is everything ready? Where is the suitcase?"

Teresa nodded and pointed at the luggage on the bedside. Enrique said nothing but dragged the suitcase over and put it on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that he was about to open the suitcase, Teresa was more confused. Would she take away any treasure with her? Did he have to go through her suitcase?

'Am I so untrustworthy? Why did he do it?'

Teresa was just about to question Enrique when she heard what Enrique said something. She suddenly did not know what to say at that moment.

"The temperature in M City is certainly much lower than in China. In addition, M City is known for its foggy atmosphere. Even if it is sunny the previous second, it can suddenly rain, so remember to bring an umbrella when you go out. It seems that you don't take any medicine for emergency, I'll bring it to you later, remember to put it in..."

Enrique was still checking her luggage carefully, and failed to notice that Teresa was so moved.

In the past five years, no matter where she went, nobody was willing to tell her such a thing, let alone someone came to open her suitcase to check if there was anything wrong. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

It was Enrique in front of her that gave her the warmth of a family. Once she thought that no one would take good care of her for the rest of her life.

At this moment, Teresa's heart warmed as the weather in spring.

"Enrique, I'm not a child anymore. You don't have to do that."

Staring at his back after a long time of silence, Teresa could not help but say.

"But you don't pay attention to detail. You little fool! You can fall asleep when you are reading in the study. Do you think I can trust you to pack your own luggage?"

Enrique looked back at Teresa when he almost finished his check. She had no time to cover her expression up and turned her head away.

"Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, Tony and I will see you off at the airport. I'll bring you the first-aid kit in a minute. You can take a shower and then go to sleep."

Enrique pinched her face and left her room for the medical kit.

It seemed that there was a little sun in Teresa's heart, which made her feel as warm as spring.
