Chapter 690

Dick White didn’t leave immediately. He even spent part of the afternoon playing with two kids in their rooms. Theresa was having a chitchat with Cristina downstairs on the sofa when something that she was supposed to ask Charlie crossed her mind. Then she took out her phone texting Roderick. It was about Old Mr. Calsis actually.

Holding tightly the phone in her hand Theresa was waiting for Roderick’s message distractedly, and at this time, Leonard and Ben went downstairs with the help of Dick.

“Good night and see you next time, Miss Cameron” Dick White took his leave of Theresa with a nod and a smile. “See you next time, Mr. White.” Theresa stood up and was going to walk them out as she said. With only a few strides, Dick and his assistant were in the doorway. But he looked back suddenly just when

Theresa was about to close the door behind them. “Well, I better let you know that I’m not coming tomorrow.” His advance notice was thoughtful enough, but it sounded weird when it happened between Theresa and him.

“Thank you for telling me, but you don’t have to tell me that actually.”

“I think it’s necessary.” Said Dick White with his corner of mouth curving.

The embarrassment was growing violently between them due to the weird conversation.

Theresa had no idea of what his intention was for behaving abnormally on this day.

God Damn it! Asking her out? Is he serious?

Whatever! Theresa decided to not dwell on that. She turned her attention to Leonard then, who was still looking in Dick’s direction even though he was out of his range of eyes. The look in his eyes was wistful somehow like he really hated to see him leaving.

“Come on, Leonard, let’s get inside.”

“Mom, is Mr. White really a bad guy?” The little boy didn’t move, instead, he held Theresa’s hand and asked solemnly with his head tilting.
