Chapter 689
Charlie sat there watching them, eyes heavy with sarcasm.
He had long known that Theresa and Dick White are on good, or even close terms. But he still couldn’t bear the
sight of them being intimate with each other.
After a moment of indecision, he made a stand from his seat and left the room. Nobody would notice the
unreadable look in his eyes.
Hearing that Charlie drove off huffing and puffing. Theresa stood up in some hurry as well.
“Thank you, Mr. White.”
“Nothing to speak of.” Dick looked at her with steady eyes.
It really is. Dick was in good mood now. Packing Charlie off was indeed something he was glad to see.
“Mr. White, I have to apologize to you for what Charlie has said. That’s just hilarious nonsense about him. So, just
forget it.”
“What did he say?” Dick White was curious about what Charlie had said. “Did he say that you are going out with
me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheresa gave a helpless sigh and continued. “Yeah, he thought that we are dating since he has seen you many
times here with me.”
To be honest, Theresa was unable to comprehend Charlie’s thoughts.
Because she was of the opinion that Dick White would never like a woman like her.
“You must really want to get rid of him then, right? And you may feel sick of his pestering. I mean no offense, just
judging by your attitude. If so, I’ve got a solid plan to help you out with that. How about being my girl?” Rawlins
Garson stared at Dick in disbelief, unable to believe his ears.
Does he know what he is talking about?
His words also left Theresa dumbfounded for a second, but she came to her sense quickly. “Mr. White, it’s not a
good joke, no kidding please.”
“I’m not joking at all. I think it will be good for both of us since you think he is annoying and I would like to do
anything irritating him. Don’t you see that? I have to admit that seeing him stomping off really pleased me!”
Charlie’s sour face floated into Theresa’s head instantly and she felt an impulse to laugh. Didn’t he claim that he
was here to gross Dick White out?
Then it turned out that he left simmering with anger.
Theresa couldn’t help taking pity on him when she held back roars of laughter.
He was just asking for more ropes to hang himself!
Theresa continued to give acupuncture on Dick White’s back. All of a sudden, Leonard burst in on the acupuncture.
“Get out of here.” Theresa was a bit snippy about him.
Her cross voice gave Leonard a start and pinned him down.
“It’s ok for him to be here with us,” Dick said to Theresa to lighten the atmosphere and soothe Leonard.
But Theresa said nothing to his words. She just gestured at Leonard, with her flat, and even unpleasant eyes.
She didn’t mean to scold him. She just felt something ominous every time when Leonard had contact with Dick
White somehow.
There was a short silence before Leonard got out of the room. He finally yielded to his mother’s demand.
No one spoke till the acupuncture was finished. “It seems that you don’t want Leonard to have contact with me,
isn’t it, Doc? Cameron?”
“He is Charlie’s son,” Theresa replied without batting an eyelid.
“You are reading too much into it, Doc. Cameron, he is very adorable, I just want you to know that.”
Theresa cast a glance at him wondering what did he mean by those words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had little knowledge of him, so she must be alert to the possibility of danger since her children meant the world
to her.
Dick White had a vague idea that Theresa wouldn’t take his words on trust, hence he didn’t continue the
conversation with her and went out alone. Leonard was waiting for his mother outside.
Dick waved his hands at him as he saw him.
“Mr. White, there you are.” Leonard came close to him gaily.
Theresa, who followed Dick out had spotted the scene.
Leonard seemed to hit it off with Dick. Well, maybe I just got an inaccurate nervous tension about them.
After a rough consideration, Theresa decided to let Leonard leave his own business.
Then she left. “Mr. White, what do you think of my mom?” The moment Theresa’s figure disappeared Leonard
asked expectantly in a hurry.
“She’s pretty good,” Dick said automatically without thinking. Yeah, in some ways she is good.
“Then, would you like to be my father?”
As poised as Dick was usually, he almost choked with shock. “Well, my pleasure.”
