Chapter 65 Hubert Had Two Faces
Teresa put her mobile phone into the pocket of her trousers and saw Leila come out of the bookshop when she was about to go back to the bookshop.
"Leila, where are you going?"
"I'm going to buy some food to cook for you. Don't have takeaways for lunch today. It's good for your health to have less takeaways."
"Tess, help me take care of Andy."
Teresa didn't stop Leila from buying food to cook, and just told her to be careful when riding.
Teresa didn't drive her new car to the bookshop this morning. She rode her electric scooter as usual because she thought it was more convenient.
She was really afraid of being stuck in a traffic jam during rush hours.
"Leila, let me transfer some money to you."
She didn't want Leila to use the food expenses given by Patrick, so she transferred some money to Leila after saying that.
Leila got on the electric scooter and rode away, thinking she still had money to buy some food for Teresa.
After watching Leila go away, Teresa returned to the bookshop. Even though Leila went away, Andy didn't cry at all because it was not his first time to come to the bookshop and Gwendolyn was not a stranger to him. Instead, he walked around the bookshop and looked through the books and pens from time to time.
He was very curious about the things in the bookshop.
"Your husband called you?"
Gwendolyn winked at Teresa, "Wow, called you during your work hours. He must miss you very much."
"He asked me if I had been contacted by those guys in my hometown."
Gwendolyn said, "He took your matters to heart! Tess, you really can try to be more closer to Mr. Donovan."
"I have been with him for a long time. I think he is good. Let nature take its course."
Hubert still kept alert to her and resisted her approach to him. She didn't want to be radical and chose to let nature take its course.
She and Hubert kissed this morning but it was not a deep one. Actually the kiss was enough to surprise her although she and Hubert didn't proceed any further.
Thinking of Hubert being so pure on relationships, Teresa felt that she had found a treasure. It was rare that a man of that age could be so pure these days!
It also showed that Hubert was really indifferent to relationships. Teresa realized why his grandmother tried so hard before to let she marry him. Without his grandmother's help, he would still be single at the age of fifty unless he could get God's support.
"Gwen, what gifts do men like?"
"Are you going to give a gift to Mr. Donovan?"
"He helped me a lot, so I am grateful and want to express my gratitude."
Gwendolyn said enthusiastically, "My mother usually buys things for my father, such as clothes, ties, watches and shoes. My father likes drinking, so my mother occasionally buys top wines for him to taste."
Teresa said, "... I don't know what size of clothes Hubert wears. His clothes are all black. I suggested that he could change the color of his clothes, but he turned gloomy right away and warned in a very cold voice that it was none of my business."
Gwendolyn smiled, "He looks dignified and serious. Wearing a black suit makes him look even more ruthless. At first sight, I know that he is an ever victorious general in the workplace. Countless people must have been defeated by him."
"Just give him whatever he likes."
Teresa was really confused because she knew nothing about what he liked.
"You can ask his grandmoter."
Gwendolyn suggested to Teresa.
Teresa thought it was a good idea, so she called his grandmother at once.
After knowing that Teresa called to ask her about what Hubert liked, Vivian felt that Hubert and Teresa probably got along well with each other. She happily told Teresa Hubert's rare preference and even the color of underwear he liked.
Hubert's clothes were all customized and were usually delivered to the place where he lived. Vivian saw them at once and then knew the color of underpants he liked.
"Tess, there're not so many things that Hubert likes. You don't need to care too much. Just buy him some clothes. I told you the size of his clothes."
"What if he doesn't like the clothes I buy for him?"
Vivian smiled, "You just buy clothes for him to express your gratitude. No need to care whether he will wear them or not. I actually think he will certainly wear them."
Hubert had two faces.
Vivian knew clearly even though he would seem to dislike the clothes Teresa bought for him, he would definitely put on the clothes and show off in his company.
Although Vivian didn't take care of the company anymore, she still could know some things about Hubert in the company when she wanted to know.
One of things she heard about Hubert was that he always showed off the benefits of having a wife in front of Morgan.
Vivian's words made Teresa decide to buy Hubert two new clothes and two ties.
But after thinking about the savings she had, she felt that she could not afford customized clothes.
She was a person of practice and reality, preferring to only buy things she could afford.
Having made a decision, Teresa went to go shopping by her electric scooter after lunch.
And she took Leila and Andy home by the way.
"Leila, Patrick may quarrel with you again after you get home."
When they were busy in the bookshop, Patrick called Leila and asked why she didn't cook for him. After hearing Leila's reply, Teresa knew clearly that Partick, who was like a grown-up baby, was very angry.
Leila said to Teresa after a short silence, "I'm not afraid to quarrel with him."
"Tess, if one day I really divorce Patrick, please give me a favor when I need your help. Don't worry. I will be strong again."
She really needed Teresa to help her with her financial problems. She had to borrow money from Teresa but she would pay her back as soon as possible. When she got strong again, she would pay Teresa back.
"Leila, no problem. Your business is actually my business. No matter what decision you make, I will firmly stand on your side. Even Hubert once said you could tell him if you needed his help. He doesn't like Patrick."
"Hubert is very good. You're supposed to cherish him. Take good care of your family well. I hope you will never get a consequence that I'm having. What I regret most is that I listened to Patrick's nonsense and believed that he would support me after I became a housewife. He totally broke his promise to me!"
"Leila, I will be careful."
After arriving at the community where Leila lived, Teresa insisted on accompanying Leila go upstairs, thinking that she would fight with Patrick if he dared to hurt Leila.
A few minutes later.
Leila opened the door and went into the house with Andy who had fallen asleep on the way in her arms. Teresa followed them.
"Where the hell have you been? I thought... Tess."
Patrick came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a spatula. He was very angry and was about to scold Leila. But as soon as he saw Teresa standing beside Leila, he stopped.
"You haven't had lunch yet?"
Teresa asked on purpose.
Patrick gave a glare at Leila, but Leila went straight to the bedroom with Andy in her arms as if she hadn't seen him.
Patrick complained to Teresa, "Tess, look at your sister. She only takes care of Andy at home and doesn't do anything else. I have to cook for myself after coming back from work. Is there any difference for me between having a wife and not having one?"
Hearing that, Teresa was very angry. Patrick married Leila to be his maid!
