Chapter 229

An hour later, Thomas sent a video call to Theresa.

Theresa answered and saw Thomas with a bruised face.

She couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t expect Mrs. Smith to be so harsh.”

Thomas looked at her with a grievance in his eyes. “Theresa, are you done venting your anger? Can you speak for me now?”

Theresa replied indifferently, “Forget it,” and then she abruptly ended the call.

Thomas was left feeling helpless.

He had never encountered a woman as tough as Theresa.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

He hurried to answer it.

Mrs. Smith entered with a stern face and handed him an ointment.

“Mom, you still care about me,” Thomas said, trying to please her.

Mrs. Smith responded without expression. “Care about you? I’m mainly worried that if your face is ruined, Theresa won’t look at you. Once your face is better, try to develop things with Theresa! If you mess up again, don’t bother coming back home.”

‘Develop… with Theresa?” Thomas panicked a bit.

“What? Do you feel wronged?” Mrs. Smith got angry. “Let me tell you, a girl as gentle, elegant, and well–educated as Theresa doesn’t come around often. If you can’t

rry her, I won’t recognize you as my son anymore.”

Thomas replied hesitantly, “Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? And besides, Theresa might not even like me.”

Mrs. Smith softened slightly, “Don’t worry. I’ve already inquired with Mrs. Austin. She said Theresa does like you. Just reform your ways, turn over a new leaf, and you’ll surely succeed.”

Thomas was baffled by her peculiar descriptions.

“Anyway, you need to take the initiative! Send her messages, ask her out more! And don’t think about deceiving me. I’ll be checking your progress daily.” Mrs. Smith warned before leaving.

Thomas was speechless.

He, left alone, sent another video call to Theresa.

“Theresa! Did you tell your mom that you really like me?”

Theresa blinked and smiled. “Yes, is that a problem?”

‘I don’t believe you for a second!” Thomas was on the verge of losing it. “What are you up to now?”

Theresa’s smile brightened, “What am I up to? Just having some fun! Oh, there’s a new movie out tomorrow that I really want to see. How about you come with me?”

Thomas immediately became wary. “No way! You’re just looking for another chance to torture me.”

Not going? Then I’ll just give your mom a call.” Theresa threatened.
