Thea’s words cut James like a blade. He felt as if there was something lodged in his throat. It was a terrible feeling.
Quincy was right.
He did not have a firm relationship foundation with Thea.
It was fine short term, but with time, differences and problems started to crop up.
“I think it’s best we get a divorce.” Thea looked at James. Seeing his expression, she felt bad, softening her tone. “Let’s not make this ugly. Just agree to get divorced. If we take it to court, it’ll be ugly for everyone.”
Just then, James thought of letting her go.
The reason he approached Thea was to repay her.
All he wanted was to repay Thea for saving his life and redeeming his mistake of abandoning her.
However, when he thought about Thea falling in love with the Black Dragon, his other identity, his displeasure vanished. Smiling, he said, “Thea, I will not divorce you. Come on, let’s go home.”
He stretched out to take her hand.
Thea’s expression soured and she smacked his hand away. Coldly, she said, “Watch yourself, James.”
“She’s out of your league. Stay away.” Megan told him off coldly and dragged Thea away.
James clutched the flowers, rooted to the spot. He did not know if he should stay or walk away.
“James, James…”
A voice rang out.
A rugged, rough man with an unkempt beard ran up to him.
“I’ve finally found you.”
Zane approached James respectfully. “James, it’s Cynthia’s twentieth birthday tomorrow. She has always celebrated her birthdays in the north, but since we’re in Cansington now, we’ll be celebrating it here. Her birthday wish is for you to attend her birthday party. You wouldn’t say no, would you?”
James frowned slightly.
He had no interest in attending any birthday parties right then.
“I’m not interested.”
He spoke casually, about to go after Thea.
“James, wait…”
Zane caught up with him.
