Chapter 239

Night gradually descended.

Thomas, however, stubbornly lingered in Susan and Theresa’s room, refusing to leave.

He kept persuading Susan.

“Susan, there’s only one large bed in this room. You won’t be comfortable sharing it with Rose. Coincidentally, the hotel just had a couple of cancellations, and I’ve booked two separate rooms. We can each have our own. You won’t need to squeeze in with someone else.”

“Somebody else? Who are you calling somebody else‘? Who is ‘somebody else‘?” Theresa glared at Thomas, her patience wearing thin, and in a huff, she threw a pillow at him.

Thomas didn’t bother to dodge and the pillow didn’t hurt much anyway.

He continued to urge Susan, ‘Look, Susan, she’s so fierce. If you sleep with her, what if she kicks you out of bed?”

Susan smiled and didn’t have time to say anything.

Theresa was even angrier.

Struggling, she made to leap up to strangle Thomas.

Susan got a fright and quickly pushed Theresa back down. “Be careful, your foot’s just been medicated. Don’t move around.”

“Don’t you hold me back. I’ll take him down with me,” Theresa said with a mix of rage and despair.

“Oh no, don’t. My life’s far too precious to be wasted on going down with a woman like you,” Thomas replied disdainfully.

“A woman like kind of woman am I?” Theresa was teetering on the edge of eruption.

“What kind of woman are you? Don’t you know yourself? Violent, unreasonable, relying on your good looks to act recklessly. How could Theresa ever be friends with someone like you?” Thomas said coldly.

Theresa was taken aback, her anger turning Into embarrassment and rage. “Thomas. We’ve already told you, Theresa is not here. Where she is, we’re not going to tell you. You might as well leave tonight.”

Thomas snorted. “I wish I could. I’ve been here. That’s enough to report back to mom. But what, the airport’s been shut down. The plane I came in on was the last flight for the next few days.”

Theresa gasped, a wave of despair washing over her. “So, you mean to say you’ll be staying here for the next few days?”

“Is there a problem with that?” Thomas raised an eyebrow.

And besides, if the airport was closed, and he couldn’t leave, that meant Theresa couldn’t either.

Thomas had a hunch that Theresa must still be in the Snowstock.

Just why she had suddenly stopped staying with Susan was a mystery.

Could it be that she anticipated his arrival and changed locations in advance?

That was unrealistic.

Thomas fell into a slight reverie.
