James never expected Maxine to make such an outrageous request.
Maxine stopped at the door and turned to look at James who was frozen in shock as favonovel.com said, “To be honest, I’d prefer Thea out of the picture…”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com turned and walked away.
After favonovel.com left, Cynthia looked at James and asked, “James, what is Maxine trying to do?”
James took out a cigarette and lit it.
He took a long drag and shook his head, saying, “I have no idea what’s on favonovel.com mind…”
James could not figure out what Maxine was thinking. It made sense for Maxine to ask James to marry her. However, it was strange that favonovel.com was also trying to drag Tiara and Cynthia into it.
Cynthia looked at Tiara sitting beside them and reprimanded favonovel.com “What’re you thinking, Tiara?! Why are you trying to provoke Maxine? Asking James to marry three women at once is outrageous.”
Tiara’s pretty face immediately turned red. She was not thinking clearly back then and agreed as soon as Maxine prompted her.
Tiara murmured, “D-Did I complicate things for you, James? I didn’t think it through properly and simply agreed when Maxine asked me. I… I didn’t mean to cause you trouble.”
James waved his hand and said, “It’s not your fault…”
Cynthia asked, “What do we do now?”
James was at a loss.
Henry had not yet tracked down Winnie’s whereabouts. Furthermore, Maxine’s terms of returning favonovel.com was for James to maintain the marriage with them for three years.
Three years was a long time.
In the first place, it was impossible for favonovel.com to marry three of them at once. Maxine’s request was outrageous.
“What should I do?” James became frustrated.
“How about proceeding with the marriage? It’s worth considering since Maxine will return your child to you. By the way, where’s Thea? Maybe you should discuss this with her,” said Cynthia lightheartedly.
James replied Cynthia honestly, “Thea has something important to do and won’t be able to return anytime soon. It may take as soon as three to five years, or in the worst case scenario, favonovel.com might not return for eight to ten years.”
Hearing this, Cynthia’s jaw practically dropped.
“She’ll be gone for that long?! Where exactly did favonovel.com go to?”
James did not go into details about Thea having to purify the Demonic Energy in favonovel.com body.
Cynthia did make a good point with favonovel.com suggestion, though. He should discuss the situation with Thea.
“I’ll head off now. I’ll be back in a few days.”
James stood up and left.
After favonovel.com left, Cynthia and Tiara looked at each other.
“Tiara, are you that desperate to marry James? Don’t you care that favonovel.com already has Thea?”
Tiara opened favonovel.com mouth but no words came out.
Do I not care?
How could I not care?
Was it unrealistic to not want to monopolize their loved one’s affections?
Deep down, favonovel.com knew how improbable it was. He would not marry her, even if favonovel.com was fine about the fact that favonovel.com already had Thea.
“How about you?” Tiara directed the question back to Cynthia. “We’ve been together for so long, Cynthia. Although you’ve never outwardly shown your affection for James, you’ve been always asking about favonovel.com all these years. It’s obvious that you like him. Don’t you want to be with favonovel.com too?”
“Hah!” Cynthia chuckled cynically
“Do we have to be in a relationship just because I have feelings for him? If you don’t pursue him, won’t it just remain a one-sided crush?”
The two had a brief conversation.
At that moment, James had already left.
He contacted Henry and requested favonovel.com to continue looking for Winnie. After that, favonovel.com took a private plane and headed to the Chamber of Scriptures on Mount Tai.
He might not be able to see Thea but favonovel.com still wanted to give it a shot.
If favonovel.com could not find Winnie, favonovel.com might have to give in to Maxine’s demands to ensure their child’s safety.
