After hanging up the phone, Terence went to bed. However, he didn't sleep well that night. If it weren't
too late, he would have rushed to Tina and asked her why she did that.
The whole night, Terence only thought about Tina's decision. He believed that she had gone too far.
The next morning, Terence went back to his parents' house and was going to ask Tina why she drove
Jean out.
When he arrived, Tina greeted Terence as if nothing had happened. "Why are you free today? Come
and have breakfast. I made your favorite shrimp wontons."
When he noticed the well-prepared breakfast on the table, Terence had a hunch. It seemed that Tina
had already known that he would come back.
"Well, what are you just sitting there? The wontons won't taste good if they get cold." Tina pulled
Terence over. In a warm tone, she said to him, "It's rare for you to come back. Have a taste of my
cooking. Tell me if there's anything to improve with the taste."
"Mom, I have something to—" As soon as Terence wanted to say something, Tina put the chopsticks
into Terence's hand and interrupted, "Let's talk after eating. Don't be in a hurry."
Terence had no choice but to eat.
With such a burdened mind, Terence ate slowly. Even though the wontons looked delicious, there was
something in his mind. He was not in the mood to carefully taste the food.
After the meal, Simon also woke up. When he saw Terence, Simon gave the same reaction as Tina.
"Why are you back today?"
Tina glared at Simon and said, "What did you say? It's not easy for our son to come back. You'd better
wash up and eat breakfast. Aren't you going out later?"
Simon stared at Tina, but didn't say anything.
Terence put down his bowl and chopsticks. In a grim tone, he asked Tina, "Mom, can we talk now?"
"Okay. What's on your mind?" Tina didn't even raise her head. While busy with the housework, she said
to Terence, "You don't have to say anything if it's for Jean's sake. You're already a married man. I didn't
teach you well to do such a thing. With your recent behavior, you're just hurting Julia. Now, I can't leave
you alone."
"Julia? Why are you mentioning her?" Terence gave an impatient expression. "I already divorced Julia.
Additionally, my divorce has nothing to do with Jean. She is just my partner, and at most, a friend. Why
did you do that to her?"
"How can you talk to your mother like that?" Simon spat. Terence was worried about Jean all night, so
his voice was a little high. Simon became furious with his son's attitude.
"You brat! Who do you think you're talking to?"
"Simon, stop it!" Tina didn't appreciate Simon's remark. Deep inside, she felt like some fault fell on her.
If she guided Terence better, such things wouldn't have happened.
With contempt, Tina asked, "Since you are just friends, why are you so angry when I took back the
house?"
She continued in a disdainful tone, "Terence, remember, even if you've separated with Julia, Jean still
can't marry you. I won't accept her as my daughter-in-law. Break up with her as soon as possible."
"Mom..." Terence frowned. In the business world, he was an unstoppable tyrant. However, his words
were useless in front of his mother.
"Jean just came back from abroad, and she doesn't have a place to stay. If you drive her out so rashly,
where do you want her to live? What if something happens to her? Will you even feel sorry?" Terence
asked desperately.
"Don't worry. Since Jean dares to come back, she must have made a plan. Even if she can't find a
place now, she can afford to stay in a hotel, right?" Tina showed a cold expression. "Besides, her living
circumstances have nothing to do with you! The one you should care about is Julia. Why don't you
worry about her future life? She married you. But now you divorced her for no reason. She doesn't
even have a house to live in. Don't you care about her at all?"
"That's her business. It has nothing to do with me!" Terence said with a cold face. "Besides, I paid
enough alimony when I divorced Julia. The money is enough for her to buy an apartment and live by
herself."
The more Terence thought about it, the stranger he felt. Why didn't Tina like Jean?
Terence asked Tina, "Mom, did you talk to Julia?"
"Yes. So what?" Tina asked. "You may not think of her as your wife anymore, but I still treat her as my
daughter-in-law. Is there anything wrong with me going to see my daughter-in-law?"
"No wonder." A resentful expression painted Terence's face. "I knew it. It must be because of the
nonsense Julia told you. Did she say that I divorced her because of Jean? Mom, I've told you that Julia
is excellent at scheming. You really can't believe what she said."
"Shut up!" Tina became upset. "Julia was decent enough not to say anything to me. She tried her best
to maintain your image and push the blame on herself. Why do you think of her like that? Are you even
my son? How could you be so shameless?"
Although Tina tried to defend Julia, Terence didn't listen to her at all. With a grim expression, he said, "I
don't care what Julia said to you. Anyway, there is nothing between Jean and me. You bought the
house, and I have nothing to say if you take it back. The house I'm living in was bought by myself. You
don't want her to live in your house? Fine! I will let her live in my house."
Terence was fuming mad. With the severity of the situation, he didn't notice that he just threatened his
mother.
After he left such words, Terence turned around and was about to leave. But after taking two steps, he
looked back and said to Tina, "By the way, if you meet Julia later, please deliver some words for me.
Divorcing her is the best decision in my life. Additionally, didn't she say that I had an affair with Jean? In
that case, I will woo Jean and live a happy life with her."
"You ungrateful bastard! What are you talking about?" Tina was pissed off. She can't understand
Terence anymore. The more she quarreled with him, the more stubborn he would be.
"What's that noise so early in the morning?" While the two were in a stalemate, Sandra groaned. The
old woman was in poor health, and the weather was not good. As such, she got up late that day.
As soon as she walked out of her room, Sandra heard the fierce argument between Terence and
Tina.
