The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 741

Chapter 741

“Hey!” Benny couldn’t believe it. “You two sound exactly the same. I’m taking good care of the kid. If you hit me, I’ll bully Mike instead.”

“Don’t you dare!” Teresa and Jonathan said almost in unison.

Jonathan shot a look at Teresa, and she instinctively glanced back at him. Then they both quickly looked away.

Benny couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, Mike. You’ve seen your mom and dad. Let’s not get in the way while they have some alone time, okay? The night’s still young…”

Teresa was stunned for a moment.

Benny laughed heartily, “Alright, I was just joking.”

After the call ended, Teresa scratched her cheek a bit awkwardly and said to Jonathan, “I’ll go turn in for the night. You should get some sleep too.”

“I have to go on a business trip for a few days next week,” Jonathan said.

Teresa nodded. ‘If he needs to travel for work, then so be it. Work comes first after all,‘ she thought.

“I was thinking maybe you and Mike could come with me,” Jonathan added.

Teresa looked at him, confused.

“No, I really think I can handle it myself,” Teresa replied, her tone firm.

Seeing she was still too proud to accept any help, Jonathan didn’t push it further.

That night, each of them ended up sleeping in their own room.

The next morning, Teresa thought Jonathan had already left for work, but to her surprise, he came back in after heading out.

“I checked your prenatal records earlier. Isn’t it time for another checkup today?” Jonathan asked.

Teresa was surprised he remembered so well. She shook her head. “I’m not sure if I need to go again. The last time I fainted at the hospital, the doctor said I was fine and just needed to rest at home.”
