Chapter 333

“Theresa, trust me, there’s absolutely nothing happening between Thomas and Monica. I’ve looked into it. He blocked Monica before, and she probably found another way to reach out this time. He’s just going to check it out and then he’ll be right back,” Susan reassured her.

Theresa gave a faint smile and said to Susan, “Susan, I’ve got a question for you.”

“Go ahead,” Susan said.

Theresa looked at her with a steady gaze and asked, “Do you think Ben would have gone if he were in that situation?”

Susan paused, taken aback.

She wanted to reassure Theresa, but upon reflection, if it were Ben, he probably wouldn’t have paid attention to Monica.

Susan fell silent..

Theresa smiled wryly and said, “Ben would definitely put your feelings first.”

Susan quickly interjected, “There’s no proof that this ever happened, and really, it’s not something we can be certain about. I mean, we’re talking about a human life here.”

Theresa shook her head. “It’s not just about a life being at stake. He’s always had a thing for her, cared about her deeply from the very beginning.”

Susan, taken aback, softly advised, “Let’s not assume the worst just yet.”

Theresa spoke with an unsettling calmness, almost mechanical. “Susan, I need to brace for the worst. Hoping just sets me up for disappointment. If I expect nothing, I can handle whatever comes.”

Theresa’s attitude left Susan at a loss for words.

Susan softly reassured, “I’ll stay here and wait with you for any updates.”

Theresa grinned and suggested, “We shouldn’t bother waiting up since it was getting late. It’s time to hit

the hay.”

Theresa looked resolute, and Susan had no choice but to agree.

The night grew deeper, enveloped in silence.

Theresa, not wanting to disturb Susan, lay on her side motionless.

On the bedside table was her phone.

Theresa gazed intently at the screen, its darkness reflecting in her deep–set eyes.

If there were any news, Thomas would have messaged her.

If Thomas didn’t reach out, it meant he was with Monica all along.

Theresa waited quietly.

An hour passed, then two, then three.

She waited the whole night but didn’t hear from Thomas.

At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight shone through. Theresa’s lips curved into a bitter smile.

She knew Thomas’s heart always harbored someone else.
