Chapter 316
“You contributed a lot to what Thomas did, didn’t you?” Susan looked at him with a smile.
Ben turned around and replied, “Not me. I had nothing to do with it.”
Susan continued to smile slyly at him.
Ben coughed and went on, “I just provided some theoretical knowledge, but I never thought his practical skills would be so lacking. After all, he’s a doctor, and theoretically, his ability to combine
theory and practice should be strong.”
Ben admitted that when he pursued Susan before, it was occasionally awkward.
But he swore that he never reached a level of mind–boggling embarrassment!
Watching Ben desperately trying to shift blame, Susan found it amusing. She said with no mercy,
“Theresa is on the verge of going berserk, so deal with the mess you created.”
With that, she left him with her back turned.
Ben instantly felt a pang in his heart.
How did Thomas, who usually seemed quite clever, become so foolish in this matter?
Ben resentfully made a phone call to Thomas.
Before Ben could speak, Thomas excitedly said, “Ben, the things you gave me really worked. Before, not matter what I said, Theresa never paid attention to me, but now, she occasionally tells me to get lost.”
Hearing that, Ben was speechless.
He suddenly forgave Thomas.
After all, what’s the point of arguing with a fool?,

Ben took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, “Thomas, I suddenly remembered that those methods of mine were from a year ago, and they seem a bit outdated now.”
Thomas was puzzled. “Really? I think they are quite effective.”
“That’s your illusion.” Ben said expressionlessly, “You’d better forget everything you’ve seen before.”
Confused, Thomas asked, “What should I do then?”
“Figure it out yourself.” Ben said, “Remember, girls don’t like smooth talkers. They prefer someone down–to–earth, someone who can take care of their practical life!”
Thomas said, “I don’t quite understand.”
“If you don’t understand, figure it out yourself.” Ben hung up the phone, unable to tolerate it any longer.
In short, he was done with giving advice to Thomas.
His only thought was, as long as he didn’t get involved, let Thomas do whatever foolish things he
wanted!
That night…
Thomas tossed and turned, thinking about Ben’s words.
Ben had a lovely wife, and their marital relationship was extremely close–he was truly a winner in life.
He had to listen carefully to whatever he said, even though his tone sounded a bit perfunctory.
But what was the relationship between Ben and him?
Their relationship was so close, could Ben really be perfunctory?
So, what Ben said had to be valuable advice, and he had to chew on it carefully.
“Someone down–to–earth, someone who can take care of their practical life?”

Thomas pondered this sentence all night.
Even in his dreams, his mind was filled with this sentence.
The next day…
Thomas suddenly opened his eyes.
“I understand.” He excitedly got up, then quickly washed and dressed.
Someone down–to–earth who could take care of practical life…
Theresa was always busy, and who was her biggest concern?
Her parents.
So, sweet words were useless.
To make Theresa accept him, the best way was to win over her parents.
When Thomas came out, Mrs. Smith had already prepared breakfast.
“Come on over and have some bagels,” she said.
Thomas grabbed the bagels and started to leave.
Mrs. Smith was not happy with that. “What are you in such a hurry for early in the morning?”
O
Thomas halted his steps. “Mom, I haven’t seen Mrs. Austin in a long time. I plan to buy something and
visit her and her husband.”
Mrs. Smith immediately became happy when she heard that. “You plan to go to Theresa’s house?”
Thomas nodded.
“Hurry up, hurry up. And remember to buy more things to take with you.” Mrs. Smith stuffed a bagel into Thomas’s hand and pushed him out.

“Mom, if you’re not happy about it, I won’t go,” Thomas said with a bit of arrogance.
Mrs. Smith kicked him out with one foot. “Stop talking nonsense, go quickly.”
Thomas muttered something under his breath, then happily left.
Mrs. Smith watched his back and couldn’t help but smile.
This little rascal finally came to his senses.
She finally had a daughter–in–law.
In the Austin residence…
After a long sleep that lasted until 11 o’clock, Theresa finally woke up, rubbing her eyes as she walked
out of her room.
She was just thinking about brushing her teeth and washing her face when she passed by the living room and stopped dead in her tracks.
She looked at the person in the living room in disbelief.
‘Am I still dreaming?” she thought.
She rubbed her eyes again.
However, the person was still there, waving at her shamelessly.
“Thomas, what are you doing here?” she asked through gritted teeth.
“I…” Thomas didn’t have time to speak.
Mrs. Austin was unhappy with her. “Theresa, what kind of tone is that? Apologize to Thomas.”
“It’s okay, Mrs. Austin,” Thomas quickly said. “It’s really fine.”
Mrs. Austin’s gaze hardened as she looked at Theresa. “See how polite and sweet Thomas is?”

Theresa was speechless.
She looked at Thomas, who was pretending to be honest, and gritted her teeth. “Mom, don’t be fooled by him! He’s not a good person.”
“That’s enough, Theresa!” Mr. Austin said, unable to listen further.
Feeling utterly betrayed by her parents‘ siding with Thomas, Theresa said, “You’re all being deceived! Thomas is nothing but a shameless scoundrel.”
