"How I wished to tell you then!" said Theresa. "But I was afraid you wouldn't believe me when my explanation couldn't go with convincing evidence."

Theresa then fixed on Leah with her glare. The farce was too dramatic a twist for Leah. She had been waiting to see the severe lesson Rosales was to give Theresa, yet unexpectedly, Rosales herself ended up as the one in the grip of Theresa and was even forced to kneel down for Johnson's pardon.

At this moment, Leah was smart enough to put on a guilty act in front of Johnson, given the tension between them recently, "Theresa, what a pity that I hadn't known the truth earlier. We've been misunderstanding you and couldn't do anything for you in the past years!"

"Oh you've done quite enough!" retorted Theresa. "By speaking ill of me to my father in the past years!" Theresa would never forget what slander Leah and Sarah had flung to her in front of Johnson. Leah stiffened at her accusation. "I've never done that sort of thing!"

"You know it more clearly than me whether you've done that." Theresa threatened, "You just have to watch your words and

don't get yourself driven out of this home for what you've done."

"You..." Leah mouthed something but finally broke off as she noticed the grim look of Johnson. Despite his silence, Leah knew he had captured all her behaviors in front of Rosales. The experience of living together for so many years had taught her to detect his subtle emotion, say, fury at this moment. Leah swiftly retreated with an excuse, "Honey, I'll go back for the chores in the kitchen." She then moved off, just in the hope that Johnson wouldn't blame her when she had reminded him of all the housework she'd done for this home. Quite a cunning move.

When Leah had fled into the kitchen, Johnson turned to Theresa with a guilty look, "You've been under so strong pressure all

these years, Theresa!" He began blaming himself for being so senile that it should have taken him so many years to see through the tricks of Rosales and Leah.

"I knew you'll blame yourself for that!" Theresa comforted him, "But you don't have to, since it's long gone."

"How could it be really gone!" Johnson just got more regretful at the thought that Theresa now had grown into a vigilant

woman from the innocent girl before. Such a drastic change only signified the huge shadow cast in her heart by what she'd

suffered.

"Don't be sad for me, Dad." Theresa replied with a smile, "I am an adult now; and I'll have to learn how to weather the difficult time. You've been protecting.me so well in the past that others just think me naive enough to pick on."

"When will the boys' classes be over?" Johnson offered, "I'll go pick them up with you."

Theresa laughed. "So you finally accept them?"

Johnson gave her a jocosely reproachful glare. "How silly it is to say that! I of course accept them. Or else how am I to face your mother in the heaven?" Johnson actually loved Theresa's mother very much, only that she had left her beloved husband and daughter too early. Johnson married Leah only because he was too busy with his business and he wanted a gentle and considerate woman to look after Theresa. Yet his plan just ended up the other way round.

"You are thinking too much, Dad!" Theresa said, "You'll be sound and healthy enough to stay with me forever!"
