Unexpected Encounter with my Boss

Chapter 96

Tiffany knew Teresa well and understood the reason behind tonight's dinner invitation.

Teresa was likely feeling lost and empty after giving up her stall.

After all, she had run it for over a decade, and it had become second nature to her. The sudden change must have been difficult to cope with.

However, family life came with its own set of compromises. Having a child was important for their family, and if Teresa wanted to continue her life with Eric, a child could indeed help ease any existing tensions. This was a matter between husband and wife, and Tiffany felt it wasn't her place to overstep.

She could only reassure her, "Perhaps it's for the best that you're not running the stall anymore. It hasn't been easy on you, working so hard and dealing with all kinds of bitterness.

"You're right." Teresa smiled and offered her more food. "Eat up, You've been looking so thin recently."

After dinner, the house was bathed in warm light as darkness fell outside. Tiffany helped Teresa clean up the kitchen and stayed a while longer until they heard the sound of the front door unlocking.

Eric was home. He exchanged his shoes for slippers at the entryway and greeted Tiffany with a smile. "Tiff, you're here. What perfect timing! I just bought some blueberries. Let me prepare them for you and Teresa."
