James was at a loss.
What was going on?
Did favonovel.com not agree to it?
Why did favonovel.com change favonovel.com mind?
He momentarily froze, then, favonovel.com quickly recollected himself and smiled. “I-It’s alright…”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com got off the bed and spread the mattress on the floor. Thea did not understand what had gotten into her. She felt terrified the moment James kissed her. However, favonovel.com did not know what favonovel.com was afraid of.
“Y-You can sleep here if you want.” Although favonovel.com did not feel ready, favonovel.com still could not bear to see James sleeping on the floor any longer.
James said with a smile, “It’s alright. I can sleep on the floor. I’ll sleep next to you when you’re fully ready.”
James did not want to pressure Thea into it. In fact, favonovel.com did not have the right. After all, favonovel.com would not even be here without Thea. That was why favonovel.com had decided to support and obey any decision favonovel.com made.
From Thea’s perspective, however, James was mad. She opened favonovel.com mouth to speak. However, favonovel.com was at a loss for words.
The night passed silently.
Thea did not get a wink of sleep. Meanwhile, James slept soundly.
***
Soon, morning came. Thea rubbed favonovel.com eyes. She was awake the whole night. Thus, favonovel.com was a little absent-minded. She saw that James was awake. He put the mattress away, walked out of the room, and lit a cigarette on the balcony. Through the window, favonovel.com stared at James’ back, favonovel.com mind in a trance. Then, favonovel.com rose, got dressed, and headed toward the balcony.
She called out, “Darling.”
“Huh?” James turned and saw
Thea approaching him.
Thea wore an apologetic look. “Sorry about last night.”
“It’s no big deal.” James laughed out loud.
“We got married before building the foundation this relationship needs. It’s only natural for you to be reluctant to do such a thing with me. Gradually, and with time, I know you’ll accept me.”
Even with James’ reassurance, Thea still felt guilty.
James had been through hardships and ordeals ever since favonovel.com married into the Callahans. Though favonovel.com was aggrieved, favonovel.com could do nothing. Reflecting on this, favonovel.com sighed.
“What’s with you sighing? It’s fine. I don’t blame you.” James stood up and embraced Thea.
He added, “I’ll never force you into doing anything you don’t want to do. Not in the past, not in the present, and never in the future.”
The more courteous James was, the more guilty Thea felt.
“I-I’ll go to Majestic Corporation today and see if I can meet Mr. Caden. I’ll explain things to favonovel.com and return the betrothal gifts.”
“Fine by me.” James nodded.
Thea looked at favonovel.com and said, “G-Give me some time.”
He smiled. “I told you I’m fine. Let’s get going, honey.”
James pulled Thea back to favonovel.com room and into the living room Gladys, Benjamin, and the others were already there.
They gathered to discuss their visit to Goodview Villa District. They wanted to have a glimpse of the villa Mr. Caden had gifted them. After that, they planned on heading to the bank to deposit their money.
Thea approached them and said, “I told you I’m not accepting these gifts. I’m returning them.”
Discontented, David shouted, “Are you dumb, Thea? Why would you return these gifts?! They’re worth more than a hundred million!”
Gladys was disgruntled. “What are you talking about, Thea? Listen up, now. You have to choose between Mr. Caden and Mr. Watson. You can return these gifts if you want to go on a date with Mr. Watson. If you aren’t interested in Mr. Watson, Mr. Grayson’s a good pick too.”
“I won’t waste my time convincing you. I’m heading to Majestic Corporation now to explain things to Mr. Caden.”
Thea stormed out of the house.
James glanced at them and said with a smile, “Feel free to keep them. I’ll have a word with Thea.”
“Hmph, at least you’re not stupid, “Gladys grunted.
David chimed in, “Say no more, James! Just get the divorce so Thea can find another man with favonovel.com glamorous looks, she’ll have no problem getting a rich guy.”
“I’ll go find her.” James turned to leave.
However, favonovel.com did not go after Thea.
Since Thea was headed to Majestic Corporation, favonovel.com had to hurry there to meet favonovel.com as Mr. Caden.
Since favonovel.com doesn’t like the current me, I’ll make favonovel.com fall in love with the other me…
