Fiancé Uncle 159

Chapter 159

Thea's hand rested softly on his chest, as she cudded up to him with a birdlike gentleness.

She had never shown this kind of dependence before.

Nicolas' movements were gentle, careful not to hurt Thea in his arms.

Neither spoke, but Jake could read Nicolas' eyes all too clearly, a comprehension between men.

A deep sense of dread and anger set in, and Jake, feeling unsettled, followed after them and watched the two disappear into

the same room.

All his courage and strength disappeared in an instant.

Jake shrank back, feeling small, like a quail.

Jake's gaze dropped for a moment before he gathered himself, red-eyed, and demanded, "What's the meaning of this? Thea is my girlfriend, Uncle Nicolas. Even if you wanted to get involved, this is
