Chapter 735
Chapter 735 Dick Came to Theresa's House
Theresa gave some laughs. "Of course. But I guess it might be troublesome for you to bustle around. Aren't you busy with work?" Maybe because she had got to know Dick better, she didn't feel so uncomfortable when hearing him mention Leonard. She was sure that Dick wasn't a hateful person at all. 'He probably just likes Leonard. After all, Leonard is a considerate polite boy'
Her car had been taken by Charlie who just went somewhere she had no idea of. So when Dick insisted, Theresa nodded and got into his car. When they arrived outside her home, she got out of his car. Before she could touch the doorknob, the door was opened from the inside, and Ben poked his head out of it.
"Mommy! You are back," Ben greeted her in a sweet tone.
"Oh my dear, I am so happy to see you!" She looked at her son in surprise as well as delight. She had missed. him so much in the past few days that it was truly a pleasant surprise for her to see his little face at this. moment.
Ben said, "I knew it was you coming back."
As Ben spoke, Leonard also showed his face behind the door. "Mommy," he called her before his gaze fell on the man behind Theresa. "Hello, Uncle Dick."
Theresa went inside first, talking to Dick, "Would you like to come in?"
Dick hadn't expected her invitation, answering in a surprised tone, "You were not so welcoming me before, weren't you?" As sort of perceptive mind reader, he could still recall well that every time he came, Theresa's disdain for him was quite obvious. However, he was so thick-skin that he would do whatever he pleased. He didn't care if others were happy or not. So back then even though he knew that Theresa didn't welcome him, he still insisted on coming to her. Now since Theresa had taken the initiative to invite him in, it felt different to him.
Remembering that Dick had no real friends, Theresa replied, “I am sorry for that. Maybe we two can be friends. I – may not understand all of your experiences, but if you don't mind, I would like to be someone you trusted."
Stunned for a moment, Dick then smiled. "Yes, in fact, there are many people willing to please me, but just a few willing to be friends with me. I mean, not many people dare to say this frankly in front of me." Since he was a big shot, her offering to be a trusted friend of his sounded quite arrogant, but he felt nothing offensive. "Then should I take it back?" Theresa also sensed that it might be a bit improper. She had learned that there were some people in the world who liked to keep some distance from all the others and enjoyed their peaceful lives. In her eyes, Dick seemed to be that kind of person, so she was afraid that her suggestion was quite pushy or aggressive.
As if seeing through her, Dick comforted her. "No, I'm glad to have one more friend."
Theresa grinned, heaving a sigh of relief before walking into the house with her two children, followed by Dick. Brenda was still there after cleaning up the house neatly. When she saw Brenda come back, she bowed slightly. "You are back, Ms. Cameron."
Theresa beckoned, "Oh, you're still here."
Brenda stole a glance at Dick who was sitting next to Theresa. Since she seldom saw Theresa bring a man back to the house, she now had some guesses about the relationship between Theresa and Dick but kept them. inwardly. She had worked for the Calsis family for many years so that she could recognize Dick in a few seconds. Pretending not to see anything private was the reason she could stay in the Calsis residence for a long time. Therefore, she didn't ask Theresa anything about Dick but just poured a cup of coffee for Dick and placed it in front of him.
Theresa came over. Noticing the coffee, she told Brenda, "He doesn't drink coffee. He has difficulty falling asleep."
Brenda immediately apologized, "Oh, I am so sorry. I don't know about that. Then sir, what do you want to drink?"
