Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Fiancé Uncle 101

Chapter 101

Nicolas narrowed his elongated eyes slightly, an unspoken meaing flickering in his gaze: "Why have you been unreachable since you left the Hendrix family Thea didn't expect him to ask that.

She instinctively wanted to respond, but then hesitated.

She didn't want to bring up Jake. There was no need to mention her ambush either.

Besides, she had partnered with Corey, so there was really no reason to stir up more trouble.

The words almost slipped out, but she changed course. "That say, it was raining heavily, and I had a minor accident on my way back. My phone fell and broke. I'm sorry; I've been busy these past few days and forgot to get a new SIM card. I didn't realize you were trying to contact me Nicolas chuckled softly to himself, thinking, 'Is she blaming me?

He extended his hand and beckoned Thea over. "Come here."

Confused. Thea walked over and sat down beside him.

As soon as she sat down. Nicolas gripped her wrist tightly.

Thea winced in pain and met his cold, piercing eyes. Nicolas's

's expression was devoid of emotion, his innate aura of authority making her heart tremble involuntarily. "Tll ask you one last time. What exactly happened that day? You know I dislike being deceived." Thea stared at him, her him, her eyes wide in shock.

At first, she felt t wronged, but that quickly morphed into anger.

She smiled, a a cold I smile, the first truly icy one she had ever given Nicolas. "Mr. Hendrix, since you already know, what's the point of asking me? I'll reiterate. There's no possibility left between Jake and me. He merely helped me out of a guilty conscience when he happened to to pass by. Mr. Hendrix, although my words may upset you, I believe our engagement is merely a partnership and shouldn't involve any hierarchy. I appreciate your assistance and mentorship over these past days, but that doesn't mean I have to submit to you." Nicolas's brow furrowed in I in confusion. "Submit? What do you mean?" Thea pulled her hand away, a cold expression on her face as she rubbed her wrist. "I know your first crush has returned to Reasnatan, and it's only a matter of time before we get divorced, I hope we can be straightforward with each other and avoid any unpleasant conflicts. After the divorce, I still hope we can interact normally,"

After finishing her statement, Thea stood up and left.

A rare look of confusion crossed Nicolas's face. He quickly regained his composure and took out his phone to contact Darwin. "Why does Thea know about Stephanie? Who has been whispering in her ear? What does she mean by saying Stephanie is my first crush?" This was absurd..

Darwin replied helplessly, "Mr. Hendrix, you should keep an eye on the news online. Ever since Ms. Ralap returned to Reasnatan, rumors about you and her have been spreading like wildfire, I figured you were too busy with the Flaminshire project to notice, so 1-hadn't mentioned it." Chapter 101
