Chapter 7 The Sequela of Lightning Marriage
When Teresa arrived at Florence Garden, it was already after midnight.
She opened the door and went in the house, finding it was dark inside with no sign of being a home.
Hubert's house was not warm at all probably because he was very busy with his work and often travelled on business.
After going into the house, Teresa looked around first and made sure Hubert didn't come back. She guessed he must have stayed in the company since he didn't return home until midnight.
So Teresa locked the door. After a thought, she searched everywhere in the house for Hubert's shoes and then found a pair of his slippers after a long time of careful search.
She put his slippers at the door, locked the door again, turned off the light in the living room and went to her bedroom.
She took out her pajamas from her suitcase. Looking at her things that had not been placed well yet, she decided to get up early tomorrow morning to deal with them.
After taking a bath, Teresa, tired and sleepy, went to bed and fell asleep quickly.
In Watenll City Hotel at the same time.
Hubert, surrounded by many bodyguards, walked out of the hotel owned by his company. He just made a big deal with a key client and the client had been arranged to stay in the presidential suite in the hotel. After that, Hubert remembered he had just got a marriage license with a strange woman today and decided to go home.
A bodyguard asked, "Young Master Donovan, are you going to the manor or Hilltop Villa?"
The manor referred to Donovan Manor, and Hilltop Villa was a large villa owned by Hubert. He ordinarily lived in the villa, and occasionally went back to the manor to visit and accompany the elders of the Donovan family.
"Go to Florence Garden."
After getting on a Rolls Royce car, Hubert said in a low voice, "Remember to drive the Chevrolet business car I just bought to Florence Garden."
That car was used to cheat his wife. Hubert even forgot her name.
"By the way, what is her name?"
Hubert didn't bother to get the marriage license to check it out. His grandmother asked to look at the marriage license and hadn't returned it to him yet. Anyway, he didn't have the marriage license at hand.
The bodyguard replied, "... Mrs. Donovan's surname is Heller, and her first name is Teresa. She is 25 years old. Young Master Donovan, please keep it in your mind."
The bodyguard knew that Hubert had a good memory retention but he couldn't remember the names of the people he didn't want to remember.
He was especially not good at remembering women's name. He didn't even know the names of the women he met every day.
"Okay, I've kept her name in my mind."
Hubert said lightly.
The bodyguard could tell from the tone of his voice that he definitely could not remember the name of Mrs. Donovan next time.
Hubert didn't want to be distracted by things about Teresa, so he leaned on the seat in the car and closed his eyes to take a rest.
It was only a ten-minute drive form Watenll City Hotel to Florence Garden.
Huber got off the luxury car at the gate of Florence Garden, and drove the Chevrolet business car into the community alone.
Hubert forgot the name of his wife but still remembered where the house he bought was.
Soon, he arrived at the door of his house and saw a pair of familiar slippers outside the door. Those were his slippers, right?
Why were they thrown out?
It must be Teresa who did that!
Hubert's eyes showed a cold look and his face tightened with anger. He was originally grateful to Teresa because she had saved his grandmother, but he began to dislike her as soon as his grandmoter said she was so good and asked him to marry her.
He thought Teresa was a woman with deep thoughts.
Although he agreed to marry Teresa as his grandmother expected, he said to his grandmother that he would hide his identity from Teresa and test Teresa's character after their marriage. If Teresa passed the test, he and she would be a real couple and live together for life.
If he found Teresa was really a girl with deep thoughts, he would teach her a lesson.
Those who dared to plot against him would have no good end!
Hubert took out the key to open the door but failed to open it. Realizing that the woman in the room had locked the door, he was much more disatisfied with her.
This was his house!
He let her live in the house, but she locked him out!
Hubert got angry, raised his foot to kick the door hard without stop.
At the same time, he made a voice call to Teresa.
As a warning, he added a word "wife" before Teresa's name on WhatsApp. He was afraid that he could not remember who Teresa was and would delete her from his WhatsApp.
Teresa was awakened when Hubert kicked the door.
Who was knocking at the door in the middle of the night? It was really a bother to her!
Teresa was always grumpy when getting up, not to mention when being awakened. She threw back the covers and went out angrily in her pajamas.
Her mobile phone was left in the room, so she didn't know Hubert made a voice call to her.
"Who is there? Why are you knocking at my door in the middle of the night?"
When opening the door, she was still scolding the man standing at the door. But as soon as she saw the man at the door clearly, she was stunned. She looked at Hubert for a long time before reacting and then quickly showed a smile, saying, "Huh, it's you. Mr. Donovan!"
Hubert was filled with anger because Teresa didn't answer the voice call.
But he didn't bother to talk to Teresa. With a gloomy face, he passed by Teresa and went straight into the house.
Teresa stuck out her tongue secretly.
This was the sequela of lightning marriage.
She poked her head out out of the door and looked around. She thought it was lucky that the neighbors were not awakened by the loud sound of Hubert knocking at the door.
Seeing the slippers at the door, Teresa stooped down to pick up them, went back to the house and locked the door.
"When I came back, it was already at midnight. Seeing that you were not at home, I thought that you would not come back tonight, so I locked the door."
Teresa explained.
Then she added, "I was in the house alone. To be safe, I took your slippers and put them outside the door, hoping others would not dare to do anything bad if they saw the slippers and knew there was a man in the house."
She learned kick-boxing and could knock down ordinary gangsters, but she also attached great importance to her safety at home.
Hubert sat down on the couch and stared at her with a sharp and cold look.
It was a little cool at night in October. When being stared at by him like that, Teresa felt that it was not just cool but also cold as if the winter came to her ahead of time. It was so cold!
"Mr. Donovan, I'm sorry."
Teresa put his slippers at his feet and apologized.
She should have called him to ask if he would came back.
After a while, Hubert said coldly, "I told you to leave me alone, but this is my home. I'm very upset that you locked me out."
"Mr. Donovan, I'm so sorry. Next time I'll call you in advance to ask if you will return home. After making sure that you don't come back, I'll lock the door."
Hubert said after a short silence, "In general, I return home every day. If I'm on a business trip, I'll tell you in advance. Don't call me. I'm always busy at work and don't have much time to answer your boring calls."
Teresa said okay.
She would did as he said.
After all, the house belonged to him.
He was the boss.
Thinking that he was so busy that he returned so late, Teresa guessed that he should be hungry and asked kindly, "Mr. Donovan, would you like to have some midnight snacks?"
"I never eat snacks at midnight. The snacks will make me put on weight."
