Even though he knew that Teresa was just trying to please him, he just pretended that he didn't know
about it. As his wife, she cared about him and worried that he would work too hard. Enrique loved to
hear Teresa said such kinds of words.
Teresa put down her phone, turned around and walked out. Before Teresa hung up the phone, Fiona
had left earlier. Since Teresa had chosen to protect the people around her in this way, she would
pretend that she didn't know about it. Teresa didn't want others to know that she pretended to be
strong, just like her, pretending that she had already walked out of the shadow and could face a new
life.
Once the protective film of a person was torn off or discovered by others, how could this person
continue to live? She couldn't let Teresa know the darkness in her own heart, just as Teresa didn't want
others to know that the relationship between her and Enrique was not as good as what they saw.
"Fiona, are you cold?"
Teresa calmed herself down and sat next to Fiona with a smile. Fiona shook her head and put Teresa's
head on her shoulder. She thought, 'Teresa, what I can do for you is only that giving you a shoulder
when you need me. Moreover, I hope you would know that I possessed a heart that accompanies you
all the time.'
That night, Fiona and Teresa sat side by side for a long time. They didn't talk to each other, but
regarded each other as their backer. Ares played aeroplane chess with the three old men until the
bonfire not far away was about to extinguish, and he was so sleepy that he deliberately lost, making the
three old men happy.
But what Ares didn't expect was that as soon as Albert won, he didn't want to stop but wanted to
continue to play aeroplane chess. He wanted to get back all the faces he had lost tonight. The four
people played until the early morning and it was a little cold outside. Albert put away the aeroplane
chess and changed the battlefield from outside to his room. He went back to his room and continued to
pull Ares with him. Ares didn't know how he slept with the three old men and he even forgot when he
fell asleep.
When he woke up, the sun had risen high. He wouldn't have woken up if the big cock in the farmhouse
hadn't kept crowing. The three old men beside him also woke up in a daze. They frowned at the same
time and disliked the cock which was crowing in the farmhouse, but they didn't know that the cock had
already crowed in the morning. It was noon now.
The owner of farmhouse had already set up a table in the yard with steaming farmhouse dishes on it.
The aroma was overflowing and people's appetite was greatly increased just by looking at those
dishes.
In the morning, Teresa and Fiona had already looked around the waterfall with the two children. Teresa
had even taken many photos, including her and Fiona, her and the two children's, the two children's
individual photos and the group photos of the four of them. After a round, she chose a few beautiful
photos, and sent them to Enrique.
Brain and Bruce seemed to like waterfalls very much, but the two of them couldn't swim. Therefore,
Teresa didn't let them get close to the waterfall. After playing for a while, they came back and saw the
four people who played flying aeroplane chess yesterday wake up.
"Dad, father, Uncle Gavin, Ares, good afternoon."
Teresa's "good afternoon" was not known whether she said it on purpose or not. Anyway, Albert was so
embarrassed that he coughed slightly. Harris and Gavin just put their glance away and look at other
places. Ares was different from those three. Anyway, it was not a big deal for him to wake up at this
time.
His eyes fell directly on Fiona. Today, Fiona was wearing a light blue sportswear, a white sneaker, and
her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked beautiful and energetic. She was looked like a student
girl today.
Fiona deliberately hid behind Teresa. Why could this man look at her so directly?
"Guests, lunch is ready."
The daughter of the owner of the farmhouse, Mr. Forrest, smiled sweetly at them. Fiona also noticed
that the girl specially looked at Ares a few more times. That was true. Ares was tall, handsome and
easy to get along with. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Fiona's mouth. A man like him should
be with such a pure girl.
After they were sitting down and having lunch, except for Teresa, who had lost her sense of taste, there
was also Fiona feeling that the food was not delicious anymore. After lunch, Brain and Bruce clamored
to go to the shed to pick strawberries. The daughter of Mr. Forrest arranged a small basket for each of
them.
"Come with me. The strawberry shed is a little far from here."
The girl had a pair of bright eyes and smiled very clean and sweet. She had said her name when she
introduced herself, and her name was Peggy Meng. She was a very gentle and kind girl.
"Miss Peggy, is this fish pool also yours?"
Gavin pointed at a large fish pool they passed by. Peggy Meng turned around, holding the basket in her
hand, nodded with a smile, and her long hair flew in the air. Albert also looked at this young girl with a
smile and sighed that young was really a good thing.
"Yes, sir. The fish pool is also ours. If you want to go fishing, you can go fishing here. If you catch fish
successfully, we can add it to the menu for you in the evening."
"Well, I think for me, it's better to go fishing here than picking strawberry."
Albert said, "Yes, if we want to pick strawberries, we would need to bend down for a long time. It is
difficult for us three to withstand such a torture. It's better for us to go fishing here than picking
strawberry."
"Okay. Have you three decided to go fishing here?"
Gavin, Albert and Harris nodded. Peggy Meng took out her phone.
"Sir, you three please wait a moment. I'll call my father and ask him to bring the fishing tools. Two
ladies, two cute children, and this handsome man, can you four wait a moment? When my father
comes, I will continue to take you to the shed to pick strawberries. Right now, I'm afraid it's not
appropriate to leave the three elders here."
"Well, Miss Peggy, you are such a sweet girl."
Ares was never shy to praise others, especially a smart girl like Peggy Meng. Standing aside, Fiona
also thought that the girl was very good. She was not only good in character, good in appearance, but
more importantly, careful. But why? Why did she feel so sad when Peggy Meng was praised by Ares?
Fiona told herself in her heart, 'Fiona, shouldn't you... Shouldn't you be happy?'
Teresa held Fiona's hand. Fiona turned around and gave Teresa a smile. Looking at her like this,
Teresa felt indescribable pain in her heart.
