James smiled and said, “Not at all.”
“Did Thea call you? You didn’t return home last night. She must be worried sick. You should go and meet her.”
“It’s alright,” James consoled her. “Don’t overthink things.”
Tiara knew James was choosing to stay with her because of her injuries.
She believed that James must be missing Thea terribly. She did not wish to make things difficult for him.
“James, listen to me…” Tiara said softly, “There’s no need to feel guilty. I’m content as long as I can remain by your side. Once your body completely rejuvenates and everything is over, I’ll leave by myself.”
Saying that, she smiled.
“Actually, I plan to study abroad.”
The more Tiara said, the more unwilling James was to leave her side.
“Everything’s fine. I’ll explain things to Thea. Besides, we’re already divorced. I’m only staying with her because of the Gu venom inside her body. I’ll sever all ties with her once my True Energy is powerful enough to treat her.”
James had thought long and hard about this. Nothing good would come up between him and Thea. He could not disappoint a better woman just because of her.
Tiara was delighted to hear that James would keep her company, and a smile unconsciously crept up on her face.
At the Callahans’…
After hanging up the call, Thea sat on the sofa and grumbled, “What the hell is he up to? He hasn’t been back all night.”
She could not figure out where James went.
After brief contemplation, she called Quincy.
Quincy was on her way to Messiah Corporation.
Upon receiving Thea’s call, she turned on speaker mode and asked, “Is anything the matter?”
“Is James by your side?” Thea questioned.
“Yeah, right,” Quincy said. “Don’t overthink things, Thea. I haven’t been in touch with James for quite some time now. I don’t know where he is.”
“Then, where could he be?”
