Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 317

“Well…” Thomas looked at Mr. Austin innocently.

Mr. Austin calmly sipped his noodles and said, “Don’t worry, women are just more squeamish.”

A few minutes later…

Theresa and Mrs. Austin returned to the dining table.

“Eat up, the noodles are getting soggy,” Thomas said warmly.

Theresa and Mrs. Austin glanced at the noodles and couldn’t help but recall Thomas’s graphic description of intestines, making them feel queasy again.

“No, no, I’m full already,” Mrs. Austin said, trying to hold back her discomfort.

“I’m full too,” Theresa said calmly.

Thomas’s face fell with disappointment. “You hardly ate anything…”

After the meal…

Mrs. Austin asked Thomas to rest and went to wash the dishes with Theresa.

Theresa glanced at her mother and asked, “Are you still speaking well of him now?”

Mrs. Austin’s stomach was still not settled down.

She composed herself and said, “Why wouldn’t I? Thomas seems like a good person. Honest and sincere, and he treats you well. It’s hard to find someone like that. Theresa, you should really consider

A flicker of guilt crossed Theresa’s eyes. “Mom, don’t talk nonsense. When did I ever show interest in

him?”

“A mother knows her daughter best. Are you sure you want to argue with me about this?” Mrs. Austin said calmly.

Feeling unnerved under her mother’s gaze, Theresa finally admitted in a soft voice, “He… actually has someone who he’s liked for a long time.”

Mrs. Austin was taken aback to hear that. “Is he two–timing?”

Theresa quickly shook her head. “No, it’s not like that.”

Mrs. Austin breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “Is he still involved with that person?”

Again, Theresa shook her head. “No.”

After months of closed–door training and filming, she was sure that Thomas and Monica were indeed

Mrs. Austin was completely reassured and said, “Then it’s just a thing of the past.”
