Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Thea heard the words and just shot her a cold glance before turning away, indifferent to what anyone else thought.

Honestly, if the watch hadn't been handcrafted by Richard with such care, she would've tossed it straight into the teash. Jake hurried to catch up with her, his tone carrying a trace of displeasure. "You really went overboard today. Once we're married, you need to tone dow Without even glancing at him. Thea responded, "Jake, you know about my collaboration with Richard. Others may doubt my connection with him, claiming I couldn't possibly know Richard or buy his watch, but you of all people should know who really can Jake was left speechless, wanting to retort but hesitating, finally tugging at his clothes in frustration.

After a moment, he continued, "What I mean is, you could've handled this privately with the family, like your mom or Max Blowing up like that, it doesn't look good. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding?

"Does it matter?" Thea scoffed. "Misunderstanding or not doesn't matter to me. If I'm unhappy, no one else should be. Look If I treat my own family like that, what do you think I'll do to you if you try to mess with me?"

"You... Jake gritted his teeth, looking both angry and a little defeated. "Is there really no way? Can't we go back to the way we were? Thea, we were in love once. I don't believe you've completely forgotten about me. I haven't been able to get over the past eight years, and All Thea could hear was the sound of a dog barking. "Are you that bored? If you want, I can find something for you to do How about calling your baby Madelyn! I've already sent her the recording. She's probably off crying in some corner right now."

Jake's expression of affection vanished, replaced by a twisted look

Grabbing his phone, he quickly rushed away.

Thea felt a wave of satisfaction, as peace finally returned, only for a shadow to suddenly fall over her.

The familiar scent told her exactly who it was.

Just moments ago, Thea had been bold and fierce, but now, that confidence quickly evaporated.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

She lowered her head and remained silent

She kept her head down in silent defiance, showing her displeasure.

The events of the past few days were still fresh in her mind, and Thea wasn't about to challenge Nicolas, instead opting for the cold shoulder to show her anger.

But her coldness had no effect on Nicolas.

After all, if Thea didn't contact him, he wasn't the type to reach out first.

Nicolas noticed her bad mood and couldn't help but chuckle sofily.

He glanced at the watch on Thea's wrist. "Such a shame. A gift like that, wasted on someone who doesn't appreciate it."

His words carried a deeper meaning.

Thea picked up on the fact that he was defending her, which cased her mood a bit, though her tone remained chilly. "Not everyone has as good a taste as you, Mr. Hendrix."

Nicolas raised an eyebrow Are you complimenting yourself?"

Thea cleared her throat. "That wasn't my intention.

HH

Nicolas pulled out a gift box. "Even though it's Max's birthday, this is for you. I was wrong about what happened last time. I had too much to drink and lost control of my emotions? Thea was surprised.

She hadn't expected Nicolas to apologize.

She didn't play coy and took the gift without hesitation. "Fine. I forgive you. But Mr. Hendrix, don't say things like that again. It makes me feel disrespected."
