Marry Ex's Uncle After Divorcement

Chapter 737 Am I a Jerk?

Charlie's face turned ugly when he heard this as if he had been wronged. He stared at Roderick, asking in a skeptical tone, “Did she really say something like that to you?"

Roderick nodded. "Actually, I can understand you. Theresa helped you get out of the wheelchair. It's indeed a big favor but you still can find another way to return it except for spending the rest of your life with her. However, since you two are already divorced, you should not bother her anymore, even if she is with Dick. It also proves that Dick treats her better than you do, doesn't it? Otherwise, she wouldn't choose him. Just let her go and live her new life."

After Roderick finished speaking, Charlie sat silently with a gloomy expression. He vaguely remembered that Eugene had also said something similar to him before. It seemed that he was always told to treat Theresa well or let her go freely without hurting her feelings. He thought, 'There seems to be something wrong with this. Does Theresa believe that I dislike her? And so she divorced me? With this in mind, he turned to Roderick again, asking, "How much do you know about Theresa?" As soon as he finished the sentence, he realized that Roderick seemed to know more about the things related to Theresa than he did.

"Well, I think I know most of it." Roderick shrugged. "First, I know you are her children's father. And second, she married Jimmy. You know, he is infertile. They went to the hospital for artificial insemination. Later, she became pregnant but Jimmy regretted it and asked her to abort the twin babies. She refused, so they divorced." Roderick paused to sip some beer. "When I met her for the first time, she was looking for the records of the artificial insemination because Jimmy's family was slandering her for cheating. See? Her life was a total mess at that time. But something went wrong at that time. Someone deleted all the records. Actually, I didn't believe her at first and even questioned her. But then I found out..."

As listening to Roderick carefully, Charlie took a deep breath and gulped some water to suppress the pain in his heart. Because of Sarah, he was full of suspicion about many things and even began to distrust the people. around him, including Theresa. Although he thought she was a good person who wouldn't deceive him, he still had doubts about her motives and actions after they broke up. 'Damn it! I questioned her so hard. I must have hurt her a lot."

Charlie raised his head with regret in his eyes, demanding, "Am I a jerk?"

Roderick was dazed a bit by his question since it was rare for Charlie to reflect on himself. Hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded. "Well, yes. She used to like you, you know. I can even see the light of love in her eyes when she looked at you, but now the light has become dim also because of you. Think about how much you have hurt her. You have done it many times, haven't you? So don't bother her anymore. Just let her have some peace."

Charlie fell silent, lost in thought.

After leaving Jack's bar, Charlie drove Theresa's car back to her house. After parking the car outside the gate, he was about to go in when he saw Dick walking out. His eyes widened. He hadn't expected that Dick would appear in Theresa's home.

Dick's expression also changed slightly when he caught a glimpse of Charlie. "Why would you come here?" he inquired directly.

Charlie answered with a poker face, "It's none of your business." Charlie wasn't as arrogant as usual, nor did he get angry as soon as he saw Dick. Just as Roderick said, he should reflect on why Dick had the chance to appear in Theresa's house. 'Maybe Theresa would still love me and stay with me as before if I hadn't hurt her."

"Okay." Dick shrugged. "But I don't think Theresa wants to see you. Don't you need to work? It seems that you have much time every day to harass a woman you just abandoned."

Charlie retorted, "I'm just afraid that she will be troubled by a scumbag like you. What is your motive for getting close to her? Stop pretending you jerk. Stay away from her!" He didn't believe that Dick took Theresa as his friend. In his eyes, Dick would someday make use of Theresa.

Dick went on with a sneer, "I think she would rather see me now than you."

Charlie's hands clenched into fists at his side. Staring at Dick, he felt that his anger was about to boil over.
