Chapter 064 Husband Took Tnitiative to Call Her
Soon, Leila said, "However, not all men are like Patrick. Gwen, don't be scared by my failed marriage, otherwise, it'll be my fault."
She still remembered that Teresa's friend was unmarried and being urged to get married by her family.
Gwendolyn smiled and said, "There are weirdos among both men and women. As for whether I choose to get married or not, I need to see if I can meet someone I like and am willing to spend my whole life with. I won't be influenced by you, but when I decide to marry someone, I'll have to examine the character of his family and then decide whether or not to marry him."
As her mother often said, for a woman, marriage was not as simple as marrying a man, but rather his family. She needed to fit in his relatives and friends. There was a lot to learn.
Gwendolyn took a glance at her friend.
She really admired her.
Leila's marriage was obviously not good.
But considering they had a child, Andy, even if she wanted a divorce, she couldn't be impulsive. She had to plan her way out and make her conditions better so that she would be qualified and confident to fight against the man. Then she could divorce him.
Teresa and Hubert had a lightning marriage. Before they got married, neither of them knew each other well, so such a marriage required a lot of courage.
Gwendolyn thought that she did not have the courage to have a lightning marriage to marry a strange man.
Although, at present, Hubert was still better than Patrick. At least when Teresa encountered difficulties, Hubert would always try his best to help and never postpone anything. However, he signed a half-year agreement with Teresa, and for that matter, Gwendolyn felt uncomfortable and worried about her friend's future.
Teresa didn't say anything. There were some things she wanted to tell her sister in private.
"Ring Ring Ring..."
Teresa's cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone, looked at the caller ID, and then handed Andy to her sister. She said, "It's Hubert."
"I'm going outside to answer the call."
Teresa was afraid that their phone conversation would be overheard by Leila, and she would know their secret. That's why she went outside to answer the call. But in her sister's eyes, she did so was to have some husband and wife sweet talk.
Teresa walked out of the bookstore for some distance. After making sure her sister couldn't hear their conversation, she answered Hubert's call.
"Mr. Donovan, what's the matter?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Hubert said nothing.
Teresa thought the phone didn't get through, so she moved the phone away from her ear, looked at it, and saw it was connected. Then she asked the man, "Mr. Donovan, are you listening? Can you hear me?"
"Hmm."
Hubert finally said something.
If he continued to be silent, the girl would definitely hang up.
"Mr. Donovan, what's up?"
Teresa asked again.
Hubert didn't know why he would make this call, but he just came back to the office after a meeting and had a few minutes of free time, so he called her.
When Teresa answered the phone, he regretted it.
Because he really didn't know why he wanted to call Teresa.
"Have any relatives in your hometown contacted you?"
Hubert finally found an excuse.
"They sent me a lot of messages, but I only read a few of them. They asked me to delete the blog post that has been commented a lot and we didn't have to pay money. I feel like they really don't think they are at fault, and also they criticized me for being too mean."
"Don't delete it! You should let the netizens take a good look at what their true colors are."
"I won't delete it. This time, I have to ask them to bow their heads, publicly apologize to me and my sister, and promise not to find fault with us in the future, so that they won't play dirty tricks on us again if something happens."
Hubert gave a grunt of agreement and said, "After this time, they should not dare to mess around again."
The Heller family would only regret what they did.
"Where do you usually go to eat at noon?"
"I usually eat out."
Hubert replied, and then asked back, "Do you want to invite me to lunch?"
Teresa smiled and said, "If you are free, I'd love to invite you to lunch. You helped me a lot, and I'm so grateful for that. I don't know how to repay you other than treating you to lunch. But don't pick a too fancy restaurant because I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to afford to pay."
To Hubert's amusement, Teresa wanted to treat him for lunch to thank him, but she worried that he would pick a fancy restaurant beyond her budget. So should he call her sincere or not sincere?
"There isn't much time for a midday break. During the rush hour, there will be many people in the nearby restaurants. If you really want to invite me to a meal, you can go home early this evening and make some delicious dishes for me. Don't cook too much, though. We wouldn't finish them by just two of us."
He would never pack food for Chad Donovan again. Why would he have to pack food cooked by his wife for Chad? Even though Chad was Hubert's cousin, if he wanted to have a home-cooked meal, he can marry a wife himself and let her cook for him.
Chad Donovan: My cousin is being jealous!
Haha, how embarrassing!
Some time ago, Hubert said that he would never be jealous, and that he didn't know what jealousy felt like. Chad wondered if his cousin knew what jealousy felt like now?
Teresa smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go home early this evening. Then I'll buy groceries and cook. I'll be waiting for you to have dinner."
"Thanks a lot."
Hubert didn't take it for granted that wives should cook for their husbands, so he was grateful for the fact that Teresa was willing to cook for him.
Both of them had to work, so neither of their life was easy.
To make a family happy, it needed both husband and wife to work together.
The call ended after less than five minutes.
After finishing the call, Hubert looked at his phone for a moment and then put it on the office table. He muttered, "Was I possessed by a ghost? It feels so strange."
He didn't know why he called Teresa.
He was indeed possessed, so he did something unusual.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The phone rang again.
Hubert picked up the phone immediately, expecting that it was Teresa. When he saw that it was an unfamiliar number, he felt a little disappointed, but soon the feeling vanished. He answered the phone.
"Hubert."
The caller deliberately adopted a soft voice. Obviously, the person faked it.
Hubert frowned, and he didn't give the caller the chance to speak again. He hung up the phone and blocked the number.
Because it was Sophie Lisbon!
How did this woman get his number. Who gave it to her?
Warren Lisbon?
Warren was not optimistic about him and Sophie. Every time Sophie came to the Donovan Group to mess around, it was always Warren or Sarah Lisbon that took her back.
His number was definitely not given by Warren to Sophie.
Hubert didn't know who sold him out, but he cursed the man who betrayed him in his heart.
Hubert detested Sophie's blatant showing love to him and openly chasing after him. He was indifferent to love by nature. His grandma said that he was good to family, but when it comes to relationships, he was as stubborn as a mule. He would have been single forever if without his grandma's help.
