Chapter 604

The night slipped away quietly.

The next day.

James got Ronn to arrange for transport back to the city.

At the Callahans’.

Thea woke up early.

Yesterday, she had gone to see the Black Dragon, but when she saw Quincy with him, she was sad.

She felt heartbroken, but thanks to Gladys, she regained her confidence.

As such, she got up early in the morning to go shopping. She bought plenty of dresses.

They were revealing and not something she would have worn before.

When James returned to the city, it was past ten.

He passed by a florist and bought ninety-nine roses. Armed with roses, he headed toward the

Callahans’.

He had just arrived at the entrance of their area when he spotted two girls in the distance.

“Megan, thanks for going shopping with me.” Thea’s hands were full of shopping bags.

She hardly shopped, so she got Megan to help her out.

Thanks to Megan’s recommendations, she bought plenty of clothes.

Even the clothes she was wearing right then were something she had just bought.

It was a yellow slip dress.

It was very short, putting her long legs on display.novelbin

It was only held up by two thin straps, baring her shoulders.

The collar was low, exposing her bra.

Everyone did a double-take when they saw her in this dress. Some people even took pictures of her.

Thea felt embarrassed at first, but she got used to the men’s admiring glances over time. Now, she felt

confident and attractive.

“Don’t mention it.” Megan smiled. “Thea, you should have started dressing this way a long time ago.

You’re the most beautiful woman in Cansington. With the way you’re dressed now, men would kill for

you. We’re rooting for you to get together with the Black Dragon and lead us to glory days.”

“I’ll do my best.”

A smile crept up her face as she thought about the Black Dragon.

James saw them as soon as he arrived. He quickly walked up to them with the roses, presenting them

to Thea.

Smiling, he said, “For you, Thea.”

Thea’s smile froze when she saw James. Her expression turned into a look of disgust instead.

“James, why are you here?”

James held the roses out and smiled. “Should I not be here? You’re my wife.”

Thea said carelessly, “I was your wife. I’m no longer your wife. James, if you don’t agree to the divorce,

I’ll get the court involved. By then, you won’t get a penny.”

Megan looked at him disdainfully. “James, you piece of trash. Why are you here? Don’t you know that

Thea’s out of your league now? Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror?”

Megan insulted him.

James was slightly stunned.

Didn’t Thea see the other him with Quincy yesterday?

She should be heartbroken.

Why was she still so cold toward him?

“Thea, what have I done wrong?” James looked at Thea.

James tried his best to control his anger and keep smiling. He wanted to make sure he was friendly

and approachable.

Thea shook her head. “You haven’t done anything wrong, but maybe I have, okay?

“It was a mistake for us to get together.

“You can’t give me the happiness I deserve. Instead of being looked down upon by my family, why don’t

you leave?”

Thea looked at James, enunciating each word.

“James, I’m thankful for all you’ve done for us, and I’ve tried to build a life with you, but I don’t feel

anything when I’m with you. Do you know what that feels like? I don’t want to spend my life with a man

who makes me feel empty inside.”
