Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Chapter 194

A complex expression clouded Nicolas's eyes, and he exhaled heavily. He couldn't understand why Thea was so stubborn.

Is it because she doesn't trust me? Or perhaps because she doesn't love me and wants to avoid getting too deeply involved?" he wondered.

"What's your plan then? How do you intend to wrap this up?" Nicolas asked.

Noticing the discontent in his tone, Thea's body trembled slightly as she stared at her feet, struggling to explain, though she was enthused, "I realize I acted impulsively and alinest caused trouble for you, Mr. Hendrix.

Little did Thea know that in his eyes, she appeared endearing.

"It's nothing" Nicolas's expression was a mix of emotions, and he sighed, seemingly resigned. "Thea, what am I going to do with you?"
