Hayes cheered himself up by keeping reminding himself about Teresa’s daily affection towards him.
Once he returned to the vi, he found Teresa and Manley engrossed in a video game.
The duo was engrossed in the game, and Hayes felt left out. Therefore, he could only sit beside Teresa and watch her y.
“Headshot! Get him! He’s practically standing in front of you, what are you waiting for?”
Teresa was impatient and angry. The next moment, two gunshots were heard, and Manley froze before shouting, “You stole my kill!”
“What? I was saving you! One more shot and you’d be dead!”
Manley nced at the game stats, and despite the game having just started five minutes ago, Teresa had already killed over ten people while he had not managed to eliminate anyone.
His extreme selfishness made it difficult for him to ept that Teresa was about to receive the ‘MVP’ title! Instead, he threw a grenade near Teresa, ending the game prematurely by intentionally killing himself.
Teresa watched the blinding white light cover the screen, and the system promptly dered her death.
She looked at a smug Manley, utterly upset and angry, “Why did you do that? We were about to win!”
“It’s you who’s winning, not me!”
“This is a team game!”
“You took all my kills! If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve been the MVP! You’re like a mute thief!”
Manleyshed out, leaving Teresa bewildered.
Shouldn’t she be the one who’s angry? Why was Manley shouting at her?
It felt as if she was the one who had wronged him.
Manley’s outburst attracted Yuna’s attention, who immediately rushed over and interrogated them, “What happened?” “Mummy! Teresa keeps stealing my kills, she even took the MVP title from me!” Manley quickly told on her.
“I didn’t steal your kills, I was saving you! That guy was shooting at you!”
“I was already aiming at him, I could’ve killed him any second, but you came and stole my glory! You’re the worst!”
Teresa tried to exin, but Yuna’s icy re immediately silenced her, “Apologize to Manley.”
Teresa was puzzled. Why should she apologize? It wasn’t her fault!
“Are you not going to say anything?” Yuna’s gaze was threatening.
Subconsciously, Hayes tightened his grip on Teresa’s hand, anxiously ncing at Yuna, fearing she mightsh out at Teresa next.
Teresa looked back at Yuna, took a deep breath, and decided to swallow her pride.
“It’s okay, I can apologize. It won’t kill me,” she thought to herself.
More importantly, she knew she could make this mother-son duo pay for this soon…
“I’m sorry,” Teresa muttered weakly.
Hearing Teresa’s apology, Manley smirked at her triumphantly, as if gloating.
Yuna nced at Teresa, her dislike for the girl growing. Previously, she didn’t have a chance to intervene when Frederick was at home. Now, she thought she could seize the opportunity before Frederick returned to kick this annoying girl out.
She nced at the time, and indirectly suggested Teresa should leave, “It’s gettingte, and our chef is already preparing dinner. What are your ns?”
Teresa pretended not to understand Yuna’s hint and innocently replied, “I was thinking of asking the chef to make me some chicken drumsticks. I love drumsticks!”
Yuna’s face fell. What was this girl nning, staying at her house?
She decided to be more direct, “Are you deaf?”
Teresa blinked, exited the game and opened her chat with Frederick, “Hayes’ daddy said I could stay for dinner. He’ll be home soon!”
As she finished speaking, the sound of the front door unlocking was heard.
Teresa chirped, “See, Hayes’ daddy is back!”
The little girl ran to the front door, eagerly weing the arrival.
As she opened the door, Jocelyn and Frederick stood there,
The moment Frederick saw Teresa, his heart softened a bit. He gestured towards the little girl and introduced her to Jocelyn, “Mom, this is Teresa.”
Mom? Teresa looked at Jocelyn and blurted out, “You’re my grandma!?”
So, this was her biological grandmother!
