Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

It was almost mealtime, yet Nicolas still had no intention of showing up.

Stefan, mindful of Thea's presence, restrained his anger, though his face had already darkened considerably.

In front of Stefan, Thea couldn't push the issue, so she could only silently pray for Nicolas to arrive soon.

She gave the butler a discreet signal.

The butler took out a Go board, and Thea smiled, suggesting she and Stefan have a game.

Luckily, she had previously looked into Stefan's preferences. Although she wasn't proficient in Go, she had dabbled in it before.

Stefan was somewhat surprised. "You're interested in this? There aren't many young people nowadays who can settle down and study Go."

Thea smiled frankly. "I wouldn't call it a passion. I learned it a while ago. When I heard you enjoy it, I thought I'd see if I could reconnect with the old feeling. Having your guidance would be my good fortune."

Her straightforwardness caught Stefan's attention, and a glimmer of appreciation appeared in his eyes. "You're so honest about it. Why not just tell a little lie and say you've always liked Go?"

"There's no need to lie." Thea laughed. "As a younger person, it's my duty to put effort into understanding the elders' interests and to cater to them. If I lied and tried to cover things up, that would show I had ulterior motives." Stefan chuckled heartily at her response.

The butler, standing to the side, let out a breath of relief and gave Thea a look of approval.

Stefan was known as the most serious elder of the Hendrix family, rarely cracking a smile.

It seemed Stefan genuinely approved of Thea.

After playing a few rounds of Go, Thea gently reminded Stefan that it was time for a meal.

Only then did Stefan, though reluctant, stop the game.

Still, Nicolas hadn't shown up, and Thea felt a growing headache.

Thankfully, she had managed to cheer Stefan up, and he didn't mention anything troubling throughout the meal, heading off to rest afterward.

Despite that, Thea remained uneasy and, as she was leaving, cautiously asked the butler, "Is Stefan suspicious of what happened today?" you.

At most, The butler shook his head slightly. "Mrs. Hendrix, rest assured. Even if Stefan were upset, it wouldn't be with he'd give Mr.
