Female Novel
Chapter 250
“Dad, are you sure the gifts were sent by Mr. Caden and not Mr. Watson?” Gladys asked again.
She still felt that it was Zavier who had sent the betrothal gifts and not the one whom Thea had saved
ten years ago.
Lex smoked his tobacco and nodded. “Yes, it was indeed Mr. Caden. It seems it must be that man from
the Cadens that Thea had saved ten years ago. These gifts are for Thea.”
“I-I can’t accept them,” Thea hurriedly rejected.
“Of course, we’re going to keep them! Why not?” David stood up immediately and picked up the limited
Firarre sports car keys inside the gift box.
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s Mr. Caden or Mr. Watson who sent it. It belongs to our family if it’s for
Thea,” said David.
“What’re you doing? Put it down! We haven’t figured it out yet! How could it be for Thea? It’s surely for
Megan!” Tommy reprimanded.
“Nonsense! It’s for Thea! We’re going to take them with us!” Gladys shouted.
“You’re the one who is spouting nonsense! Who doesn’t know that Thea is married? Who would be so
stupid to send such luxurious betrothal gifts to her?” Megan stood up abruptly.
The family began to quarrel again about the betrothal gifts.
James had a headache looking at them.
‘How big of a deal is this?
‘Is it necessary for them to fight this much?’
He turned around and walked out of the house.
Thea’s face was pale, and she knew that James was angry.
She wanted to chase after him but did not in the end.
James lit a cigarette outside the door and took out his phone to call Newton.
“M-Mr. Caden.”
“Mr. Quinn, there’s something I need to trouble you with.”
“Go ahead, Mr. Caden.”
“It’s like this…”
James explained the situation at the Callahans.
“I need you to come over and tell them that the betrothal gift was given to Thea by Mr. Caden.”
“Alright, I’ll come right away.”
James hung up the phone.
He was left with no choice.
Initially, he simply wanted to send Thea some gifts to make her happy. He never expected such a
troublesome situation to arise. On top of that, Mr. Caden from ten years ago was brought up.
He had no choice but to let them continue to misunderstand.
He was simply repaying his gratitude, so as long as Thea was happy, it did not matter who it was from.
He could explain his identity to her when the time was right if Thea liked the other him.
James smoked a cigarette outside before entering the house.
The house was still very noisy.
Gladys insisted that the gifts belonged to her family, so they wanted to take them away.
Tommy, Megan, and Jolie kept claiming it belonged to theirs and wanted to keep it.
The family kept arguing.
Lex was uncertain about the situation, so he simply sat on the sofa and smoked his tobacco, seemingly
deep in thought.
Thea rushed to James and took his hand. Then, she explained apologetically, “Darling, where did you
go? I-I really don't know this Mr. Caden. The gifts are probably for Megan from some rich young man
interested in her, and not for me.”
James said with a smile, “It’s a little stuffy here. I just went out for a walk.”
He really wanted to tell Thea everything.
However, things had strayed from his original intention.
He wanted to repay her for saving his life.
Initially, he never wanted to reveal his identity and simply wanted to silently stay by her side to protect
her for the rest of her life.
He would never have submitted his resignation letter when he left the Southern Plains if he wanted to
approach Thea as the Black Dragon.novelbin
Now, he was still investigating the mysterious force involved with his family.
There were the Ancient Four.
There was also the matter with the family’s mysterious treasure map, the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's
Edge.
He had no idea how strong the Ancient Four were, but he knew that one of the Five Commanders was
a member of the Ancient Four. It would be really troublesome if he was an enemy.
Therefore, he could not reveal his identity.
He could not get Thea involved.
