Chapter 901
โYeah, the strap on the last one I gave you was already falling apart. Why are you still wearing it?โ Teresa had actually planned to give him the new one that afternoon, but heโd been sleeping like a log.
โHow much did it cost?โ he asked, eyeing the Omega watch.
Teresa replied, โIt cost six figures. My mom recommended it and even pitched in ten thousand. If you donโt like it, just say so.โ
Two weeks ago, Evelyn mentioned that Jonathan had helped a lot by arranging Lucasโs hospitalization and finding a doctor for him in Jarisburg. She suggested that Teresa should buy Jonathan a watch as a token of appreciation.
When Jonathan heard that, he said, โI didnโt say I didnโt like it, but we canโt accept Momโs money. You should give it back to her.โ
Teresa replied, โI know, but Iโm a bit short on cash this month. Iโll pay her back next month when I have some money.โ
Jonathan thought for a moment. โMomโs birthday is at the end of the month, right? Iโll just pay her back then.โ
โWhatever,โ Teresa said.
Suddenly, Teresa remembered something. โHold on, who are you calling Mom? Itโs just us here, you donโt have to keep pretending.โ
Jonathan let out a cold snort, a mocking smirk tugging at his lips, but he didnโt bother to explain. Suddenly, Jonathan seemed to remember something. โDid you ask me something just now? I canโt remember.โ
Teresaโs expression didnโt change at all. โI didnโt ask you anything. Youโre definitely drunk.โ
She got up to leave his room, but Jonathan suddenly grabbed her wrist and yanked her back down beside him. He extended his wrist toward her. โHelp me put it on.โ
โCanโt you put it on yourself?โ she grumbled, but still fastened the watch for him.
She was so close that Jonathan arched an eyebrow. โJust one birthday present?โ
โWhat else do you want?โ She shot back. She had barely lifted her head when he kissed her. His lips, cool and damp, pressed against hers, quickly making her lips wet.
He caught her hand, his long fingers threading through hers, their fingers lacing tightly together. She couldnโt help but close her eyes.
Jonathan pulled back from the kiss, his hand brushing the corner of her mouth as he teased. โCome on, admit it. Every time I kiss you, you always kiss me back, and youโre pretty into it, arenโt you?โ
Teresa really couldnโt stand that cocky look on his face, and it annoyed her even more that she just couldnโt help herself around him.
Just last night before bed, she had scrolled past a video where a doctor said that a woman could actually have even stronger physical needs during pregnancy than before, and that it was totally normal. โSo itโs not just me going crazy,โ she thought.
โItโs just how women like me react, okay? If some other handsome guy kissed me, Iโd probably melt just the same,โ she shot back.
Jonathanโs face darkened. โOh? So youโve actually seen someone better looking than me? What, should I go find you a hotter guy or something?โ
โSure, why not? Iโm sick of looking at your face anyway,โ she shot back.
โFine, if you want to go find another guy, then Iโm confiscating your card,โ Jonathan said.
Teresa blinked in confusion. What the heck is a spouse card? she wondered.
She followed his gaze and only then realized that, at some point, heโd slipped a card into the pocket of her pajamas without her even noticing.
Jonathan let out a cold snort. โThereโs 60 million dollars in there. Think you can actually spend it all? I bet you canโt. If you do, Iโll admit youโre something else.โ
Teresa pinched the gold card between her fingers.
โIs that supposed to be a dare? Please, spending money is the easiest thing in the world.โ
โAlright then, try spending it all in three months. Buy whatever you want. Just donโt go out looking for another guy.โ With that, he leaned in and kissed her hard on the lips again.
Teresa pushed him away. โIโm pregnant. How am I supposed to find another guy? Who would even want a pregnant woman like me?โ
Jonathanโs eyes roamed over her gorgeous face, creamy skin, and that killer body of hers. Aside from her baby bump, nothing about her had changed. His gaze grew darker. โYou have no idea how attractive you really are.โ
As he said that, he slowly led her hand down.
