All Chapters of Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Chapter 691 - Chapter 700

"Theo, do you want a bite of this? How about this toy? Do you like it? I had this picked out just for you. Why don't you take a look?"By 6:00 pm, on set, Lara was pulling every trick she knew to get a smile out of Theodore.The trouble was, years of pampered living had left her with only the faintest, blurry memory of raising children. All she had left to lean on was her best attempt at kindness and persistence.But Theodore wasn't biting. He stayed buried in the script, not sparing her so much as a glance.He heard every word. The toys and snacks were tempting, sure, but he wasn't about to betray Jacklyn. So he buried himself in the script, acting like he was busy memorizing lines.Jacklyn stepped inside just then and caught the whole scene. Lara sprang to her feet the second she noticed her, her eyes glinting with a mute plea."Theo, Mrs. Robertson's been talking to you. Aren't you going to say something?"At the sound of Jacklyn's voice, Theodore finally lowered the script.

The door slammed shut with a bang. Jacklyn let out a heavy sigh and sank into the couch like a lifeless rag doll.After a short pause, she picked herself up and went back to sorting out the apartment, jotting everything down on her phone so the essentials could be delivered tomorrow.Theodore had been watching TV on the couch for a while. Seeing just how drained Jacklyn looked, he quietly got up and headed to the bathroom to shower and wash up, careful not to add to her worries.When bedtime came, he leaned over and hugged Jacklyn. "Mommy, you've had a long day."He smiled sweetly, hoping to lift her spirits a little."Oh, it's nothing, sweetheart. Everything I do is for me, for Irene, and for you. It's all worth it," Jacklyn replied, feeling a deep sense of comfort.She pulled Theodore close and pressed a gentle kiss to his head. "Now, let's get some sleep."Theodore said nothing. He slowly raised his head to look at her and realized she had already fallen asleep. His gaze was

Ever since leaving the hospital, Jacklyn had scaled back her workload to make more time for Theodore.He was used to heading to the set alone, and even though Jacklyn dropped by often, seeing Romy with Lucy day in and day out still made him a little envious.These past few days, Jacklyn had been staying with Theodore on set all day, and he couldn't have been happier.He also knew how busy she was, and the fact that she had managed to carve out these days just for him made him value every single moment even more.Once they were back at the rented apartment, Theodore no longer acted out. Jacklyn, in turn, looked after him even more attentively.He stood by her side, watching her cut the fruit, swinging his hands with cheerful energy as he said, "Before, I was always on set, and you were always busy. We never really had time for each other. But now? Finally, we do!"His lighthearted words left Jacklyn quiet. Her mind wandered, but her hands kept moving without pause.She had though

Romy felt a flicker of relief. Thankfully, Colin had called Lucy away. If Lucy had heard any of it, she'd certainly be overthinking.Maybe it was because there weren't many people around, but Penelope bore the humiliation quietly. No matter how much Lydia lashed out, she didn't rise to defend herself.She knew she couldn't win, so it was better to let Lydia vent fully. Once it was done, Penelope could still appear vulnerable to Noah, letting him glimpse the harsh truth of her life within the Lloyd family.By the time he uncovered the full truth, she was certain he wouldn't have the heart to cast her aside.…Theodore was strolling casually alongside Jacklyn and Liam, taking his time. They'd stopped at a store for travel essentials, pushing a cart toward the checkout."Theo?" Eugene's voice rang out, full of surprise. The people trailing him abruptly halted.As one of the mall's investors, Eugene held a sizable stake, and staff often called him over to check on how things were ru

Calmly, Jacklyn slid into the seat opposite Lydia with a smile. "I never imagined you'd go to such dirty lengths just to get Theo into Lloyd Manor."Lydia's fight had drained away. All she wanted now was a way out.She let out a long sigh, trying a more subtle approach. "Jackie, I feel terrible about what happened to your home. Seeing you and Theo forced to live in a rented apartment breaks my heart."But I swear, I never sent anyone to break in!"Her eyes shot up to Jacklyn's, pleading silently for her to believe.A scoff escaped Jacklyn. "Check this out."With effortless calm, she drew several bank transfer slips and chat logs between Lydia and Bob from her pocket. The evidence lay glaringly on the table, striking Lydia like a brutal wake-up call.She trembled from head to toe, unable to speak.Suddenly, Eugene appeared. "I'm sorry, Jackie. I never thought my mother would go this far. Can you forgive her, for old times' sake?"His words tumbled out in a rush, sweat beading a
