Chapter 062 She Should Thank Miss Lisbon
Teresa didn't know her man was jealous. She went back to the store, seeing there were not many errands to ran, so she began to weave her crafts again.
After seeing her finish a money tree, Gwendolyn asked, "Teresa, why have you been making money trees these days? Are they easy to sell?"
Teresa had just finished a finished product, so she decided to stop and take a break. After hearing her friend's question, she laughed and said, "My online store has been doing very well recently. The most popular thing is the money trees. I've gotten too many orders."
"Is it because after you responded to netizens, they sympathize with you and Leila, and that's why a lot of them visit your store to help your business?"
Teresa thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. They just put pictures of me as a child and my phone number on the Internet, and they knew nothing else. Now the blog posts have been deleted, and even the influencers have deleted their posts on their official accounts."
She was dragged down by the Heller family.
"Fortunately, it was Young Master Donovan's gossip news that has been drawing the public eye instead of that trending topic, so it doesn't have much attention. Before the netizens got to find fault with my work, I fought back. Therefore, it's unlikely that netizens have been helping my online store business."
As soon as Teresa mentioned Young Master Donovan's gossip news, Gwendolyn became interested. She said mysteriously, "I heard from my aunt that when Miss Lisbon saw that the trending topic about you was distracting the attention of netizens, she was very unhappy and secretly managed to suppress the heat of the trending topic."
Teresa didn't know it. She smiled and said, "If that's the case, then Miss Lisbon indirectly helped me."
Thinking of this, she continued with a smile, "I really should thank Miss Lisbon. I hope she can get the Young Master Donovan as soon as possible. Miss Lisbon is the daughter of the Lisbon family, and she has money and status. She should be able to find out if the Young Master Donovan has any problem. We once jokingly said that Young Master Donovan had a problem, and fortunately, we didn't tell anyone else. We've got to stop talking nonsense about him anymore."
Gwendolyn answered casually, "We were just gossiping. Even if Young Master Donovan does have a problem, how would Miss Lisbon know? Young Master Donovan has never had a young woman around him. Who knows if he has a problem?"
"I don't think Young Master Donovan and Miss Lisbon will be together. The Donovan family and the Lisbon family don't get along. If the two groups become sworn enemies, and Miss Lisbon is caught in the middle, which side will she take?"
Gwendolyn continued to analyze them, "Neither the Donovan family nor the Lisbon family are likely to look favorably on them. But Miss Lisbon had the courage to confess her love to Young Master Donovan and caused a sensation, it shows that she is a girl who dares to love and hate. I admire her for that."
Teresa took a short break, and then she took some materials to go on her money tree weaving work. In the mean time, she said, "Anyways, it's none of our business. I don't think we will have the chance to rub elbows with Young Master Donovan. So there's gossip occasionally, we can just listen to them, but don't have to take them to heart."
"Has your mother rushed you to go on blind dates recently?"
"No, she hasn't for now. Maybe it's because my aunt said something to her. But if my guess is right, it won't be long before my aunt asks me to go to a banquet again. So Teresa..."
"Don't come to me about it! I'm not interested."
Teresa turned her down right away.
After attending a banquet with her friend, she didn't want to attend anymore. Although she was not shy of it, she really didn't like that kind of occasion.
"There are so many delicacies, and that's what we are going there for."
"I can afford them myself."
"But are you really willing to pay that much for so many delicacies? Aren't you saving money for a house?"
Gwendolyn's words hit the nail on the head.
Teresa was lost for words.
"Tess, we are besties. I want to take you with me whenever I have something good to do, so it's a deal. If my aunt tells me to go to the banquet in a few days, you will accompany me. It'll be very eye-opening for us if we often attend parties in the upper class.
Gwendolyn tried hard to persuade her friend into going with her.
"Aunt."
The shouts of Andy came.
The conversation between the two of them was interrupted. When Teresa saw her sister coming in with her nephew, she stopped what she was doing and walked out of the cashier's desk.
Gwendolyn came forward to pick up Andy before Teresa did. She gave him a shower of kisses and then held him up, making Andy roar with laughter.
"Leila, what are you doing here?"
Teresa noticed that it was after 10 o 'clock. Her sister was supposed to prepare lunch at home, as her brother-in-law would complain if the meal wasn't ready by the time he finished work.
"We were bored at home, so we came to see you, and Andy also wanted to come here badly."
"It's almost November and it's still hot," Leila said, taking off her sun hat and wiping sweat from her brow.
In terms of weather, Watenll City's autumn and summer were similar, and even its winter was not cold.
It was cool only in the morning and evening. In the daytime, as long as the sun was high in the sky, it could make people sweat.
"It's after 10:00. Aren't you going to cook?"
Teresa didn't mean that her sister had to cook for her brother-in-law; she just felt like it was time to cook lunch.
"I fed Andy and brought milk powder before I came over, so I can hang out until the afternoon. I could order take-out later, or I could go to the nearby market to buy some food and cook for you in your small kitchen."
"As for your brother-in-law, I've helped him wash the rice, put the water in, and plugged in the cooker. He can simply press the cooking button when he comes back. I also washed the vegetables and left them in the kitchen. He can either boil or stir-fry them however he wants."
After listening to her sister's words, Gwendolyn said with a smile, "Leila, do you only do half of the cooking and leave the other half to him?
"Yeah, it's so called going dutch, so we go halves on everything. If I had done all the cooking work, then it wouldn't have been going halves. That's what he wants. You think I go halves with him only on spending money?"
Leila got heartbroken by her husband's recent behavior. So about their going halves, she was very determined. She wanted to teach Patrick Cerone a lesson so that Patrick wouldn't dare to make an issue out of splitting bills to threaten and find fault with her anymore.
Over their three years of marriage, she had been compromising all the time. She had a son for him, lost her job and got out of shape, yet she had to endure to be picked on by him and withstand his oppression. If she didn't hit back now, he would think she was a pushover.
She was not a chicken at all.
Teresa and Gwendolyn both gave Leila a thumbs-up.
She couldn't be controlled all the time.
Patrick brought up the idea of splitting bills, so he should take the consequence of it.
"Patrick used to be so nice to Leila, but it hasn't been a long time so far, he's revealed his true colors," Gwendolyn sighed.
Marriage was truly the grave of love.
People on the outside wanted to get in; people on the inside wanted to get out.
She should not marry too early; she should lived a free life for some years first.
Leila said bitterly, "My mother-in-law and Priscila Cerone instigated all this, and he trusted his family way too much"
