Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Jake appeared significantly more haggard, with dark circles under his eyes. He forced a smile and strode toward Thea, gazing at her with deep affection.

His voice was gentle as he spoke. Then, I'm here to apologize. I was wrong about everything in the past. Madelyn and I have broken up, and from now on, I'll treat you well. Please don't be angry, okay? If you don't believe me, I swear I'll never see Madelyn again." Thea lowered her eyes and smiled at the bouquet. If it were three months ago, she would have been moved to tears and immediately agreed without hesitation.

Jake had indeed put in effort this time. The flowers he chose were the same ones he had used when confessing to her years

Trying to win me over with memories? How laughable. The truth is, I've fallen out of love with him,' she thought.

As soon as Jake finished speaking, he shoved the flowers into her arms, seemingly convinced she wouldn't refuse.

Thea took a step back, her gaze icy as she looked up at him. "Mr. Hendrix, what do you mean by this?"

Jake's eyes widened in disbelief. "I've already apologized and promised not to see Madelyn again. Isn't that enough?"

Thea shook her head. "What I mean is that we have no relationship anymore. No matter how things are between you and Madelyn, please don't say it's for my sake."

She took the flowers from Jake's hands without hesitation and tossed them into a nearby trash bin. "I believe that once unfaithful, always unfaithful"

Jake clenched his jaw and quickly caught up to her. "Thea, what will it take for you to stop making a scene?"

Thea turned back, looking at him with a strange expression. "What scene? I'm just speaking the truth. Don't act like I've let you down. Jake, you were the one who let go of our relationship first. There's no rule in this world that says I have to wait for you." Jake was at a loss for words. His emotions shifted rapidly, and anger faded, leaving only helplessness. "Please, don't do this. Can't we just be good together like we used to?"

Thea suddenly had a thought. "Honestly, we can, but tell me a thing first. Are you here to make amends because you still have feelings for me, or is it just because of Madelyn?"

Meeting her cold gaze, Jake felt a twinge of guilt. His eyes flickered as he replied, "After all these years, we naturally have feelings for each other. Madelyn is a pitiful person. Now that you and I are together, you can fulfill your long- held wish, and my dad can let go of Madelyn. It's a good thing for everyone."

Thea scoffed. As expected, it's still about Madelyn,' she thought.

She shook off his hand. "Sorry, but I'll say it again. There's no possibility for us anymore

Thea turned to leave.

Jake stared at her retreating figure, his eyes filled with reluctance

Memories of Madelyn's words flooded his mind. "I heard Miss Rowland has someone sh possibly even during the time you were together. But I'm not sure, since it's just a rumor. I don't think someone like Miss Rowland could easily let go of her feelings for you. But if there' Turning the corner, Thea bumped into

He stood quietly by the window at the end of the hallway. His tall and elegant figure was silhouetted against the light, exuding a chilling pressure. A cigarette hung between his distinctly manicured fingers, the smoke curling around him.

"Mr. Hendrix?" Thea asked, surprised. She hadn't expected to see him here.

Nicolas turned at the sound of her voice, his expression indifferent, giving a slight nod as a greeting.

He walked slowly toward her, his tone somewhat cold. "You should know that the situation has been resolved. You did well this time.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Hearing his praise, a wave of unexpected joy washed over Thea, and a smile began to form.

Suddenly, he continued, "I think keeping you at Avon Ventures is indeed a bit of a waste of talent.

Thea's heart sank. 'He can't be firing me, can he she thought.
