Chapter 115 Being a Wife for the First Time
When Patrick thought about the family background of the Donovan family and the condition of his sister-in-law, it would be a great honor for Hubert to marry into the Heller family if he were Young Master Donovan.
Although Teresa had a pretty face, she was no competitor to the daughter of the Lisbon family in all aspects. Since Young Master Donovan couldn't even lay his eyes on Sophie, how could he have feelings for Teresa?
After the comparison, Patrick gave up the idea and thought he was overly concerned.
Therefore, Hubert could never be Young Master Donovan!
"You got it wrong? Let's go to breakfast."
Isabelle wanted Patrick to get to know Young Master Donovan. In that case, if she was with Patrick, she could get to know Young Master Donovan through Patrick, and maybe she could even join the high society.
However, reality slapped her in the face, because that was impossible!
She'd better not daydream.
If she could hold on to Patrick and get him to marry her after the divorce, it would be the best she could hope for. Therefore, she had better give up other ideas.
Although Hubert didn't see Patrick, Steven did see him.
Fortunately, Patrick did not know Hubert's bodyguards, but the bodyguards had to know the faces of the people around Teresa by heart. Therefore, Steven recognized Patrick.
After getting into the car, Steven said to Hubert, "Mr. Donovan, I think I saw Mrs. Donovan's brother-in-law in front of the hotel just now. I only had a glance at him, but I'm not sure if that man was him. And the woman standing beside him was not Teresa's sister. I possibly got it wrong."
If that man was Patrick, Steven knew Patrick cheated on Teresa's sister, which would be a fact that was extremely cruel to a married woman!
Hubert did not speak immediately. After keeping silent for a while, he said in a low, cold voice, "I told you her business is none of my concern."
Steven parted his lips and wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
Donovan and Teresa were clearly at odds.
It seemed they had been giving each other the silent treatment.
Teresa didn't call Hubert, and Hubert didn't go back to live at Florence Garden.
However, Steven and the other bodyguards didn't know what Hubert and Teresa were at odds over, so they didn't know how to handle it.
After saying that, Hubert didn't say anything.
Then Steven turned his head and peeked at what Hubert was staring at on his phone.
It turned out that Hubert was reading the message that Teresa sent to him.
When Teresa saw Hubert's Chevrolet, which was used to trick her to believe that he was poor, parked downstairs, she asked him if he didn't have to go to work today.
Hubert was torn as to whether he should reply to her.
He had spent last night at his villa.
He didn't go back to Florence Garden.
He thought she would ask him where he was going. Even if she didn't call him, she would send him a message. However, as he waited until late at night, his phone rang several times, but these were not calls from her.
Hubert's pride made him unwilling to back down.
Since she didn't care about him, he wouldn't care about her either.
Hubert moved his fingers, but he didn't reply to Teresa. Instead, he deleted the message from Teresa and removed Teresa from his contact list on WhatsApp.
Teresa sent a message to Hubert but never received a reply. She knew that Hubert was still mad at her. Even so, he just didn't believe that she had nothing to do with Ezra. Then, Teresa also stopped sending him messages.
When Andy was full, Teresa picked up Andy and went out with her sister.
Leila went on to look for a job.
Teresa took her nephew back to the store.
Gwendolyn was very fond of Andy, and she was almost always the one playing with him. And it would allow Teresa to knit more crafts.
And Teresa was going to make vintage headpieces and sell them in the online store. If a lot of people bought them, she would open another online store.
With the impact of e-commerce, it was hard to manage a physical store.
Teresa would be glad to open an online store as long as she would make money.
When it was almost noon, Gwendolyn asked, "Teresa, are you still going to pick up Hubert for lunch today? I brought some fresh seafood from home. We can have seafood for lunch."
"If Hubert comes over for lunch, I'll boil more rice."
Gwendolyn was ready to cook food, which was why she asked her best friend if Hubert would come over. And she was afraid that if she boiled less rice, there wouldn't be enough rice for them to eat.
"Even if I ask him to come over, he probably won't. Gwen, Hubert and I are not on speaking terms."
Teresa stopped working for a while after she finished knitting the pot of money tree that the client had reserved.
Hearing her words, Gwendolyn asked with concern, "How come you two are not talking to each other? Aren't you getting along well recently? And Hubert even ordered the Watenll City Hotel staff to bring food over for you to eat."
Teresa sighed and said, "It's because I invited you and Ezra to lunch on Saturday. He probably saw that. And I didn't even see him. He insisted that Ezra was my rebound. And he said I had cheated on him. He really pissed me off."
"Ezra and I are like siblings. I've always treated him like a brother, so how could I possibly treat Ezra like a backup? If I really liked Ezra, in order to move out of my sister's house, I could have gotten married to Ezra. Then why would I marry him instead?"
"Although he usually seems generous, in fact, he is so damn petty. Besides, he's suspicious and has a sharp mouth. Before he figures out what's really going on, he claims I'm cuckolding him. Didn't he just claim me to be flirty?"
She didn't mention that Hubert also forcibly kissed her when he was drunk.
Gwendolyn said, "... Did he see the three of us eating together then? Why didn't he say hello to us? Also, I was sitting there. Couldn't he see me? Did he only see you and Ezra?"
"That's what I said. I said you were with us. I was having dinner with my friends."
After Gwendolyn thought about it, her face changed slightly. She said tentatively, "Teresa, would Hubert suspect me of being the one who set you up with Ezra?"
Teresa felt speechless.
Given Hubert's suspicious personality, it was very likely that he might have thought Gwendolyn was the one who was setting her up with Ezra and even covering for them.
Gwendolyn froze.
She never expected her best friend to be with Ezra. Moreover, Teresa was three years older than Ezra, and Teresa didn't like to be in a relationship with a man younger than her.
Ezra also kept calling Teresa his sister. It was clear that he also considered Teresa as his sister.
"Teresa, you have to explain to him clearly. Otherwise, he will think I'm a matchmaker. I feel so wronged." More importantly, it would affect Teresa and Hubert's marriage.
Although Teresa and Hubert had married in a flash and had no feelings for each other, now that they had been married for a month, they were supposed to grow some feelings for each other. And Gwendolyn hoped Teresa and Hubert would grow old as other affectionate couples.
She had no intention of introducing Teresa to other men.
"I explained. He only believed what he saw. And he didn't come home last night. When I messaged him this morning, he didn't reply to me either. I think he is giving me the silent treatment."
Teresa sighed.
It was her first time as a wife, so she did not know how to deal with the problem.
And she didn't know how to break the ice between them.
