Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

While Thea's mind was racing, she replied to Joyce's message.

Thea: [I just got home. I had to work overtime today and haven'tested yet. What's up?]

The next second, Joyce called her directly.

As soon as the call connected, Joyce vented angrily. "Seriously, your boss is outrageous for making you work overtime. Why don't you come to work with me? It's nine to five, four days on, three days off, and I'll pay you top dollar. I appreciate your work ethic

Thea felt helpless and kindly reminded her. "Joyce, my boss is Nicolas."

Joyce's anger visibly subsided, but she weakly added, "So what it's Nicolas? I'm still winning you over."

"Right," Joyce suddenly exclaimed. "I just remembered! I wanted to tell you something related to Nicolas. He's been so reserved all these years, and it's the first time I've heard gossip about him. I rushed to you the moment I found out."

Upon hearing it was about Nicolas, Thea's heart raced for some unknown reason.

Thea anxiously fiddled with the hem of her shirt. "What is it? Did he get married, or did someone discover his hidden relationship?"

"How could that be? It's not that explosive." Joyce laughed.

Thea felt a slight sense of relief, trying not to show too much interest, but her ears were perked up.

"Actually, I just found out that he had a first crush abroad. Not many people know about this. My dad is one of them. He got drunk today, and I managed to get it out of him. That woman saved Nicolas once abroad years ago, and his gratitude turned" into affection, Joyce ex At this, Thea felt a moment of distraction, suddenly recalling Jake's words.

Jake had said that Nicolas already had a beloved woman.

At the time, Thea hadn't taken it seriously.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, if that were true, he wouldn't have married her.

Joyce didn't notice Thea's unease and continued chattering, Tm bringing this up because that woman returned to Reasnatan today.

It took Thea a while to find her voice again.

With a hint of unwillingness, she asked. "Does he really love her? Then why haven't they been together or married after

all

this time?"

Joyce instantly perked up. "I heard she's career-

oriented and doesn't want to date, which is why Nicolas has waited for her for so long. But she probably can't wait any longer. According to my dad, Stefan's health is deteriorating, and he's threatening Nicolas to hurry up and get married, or he'll refuse treatment. This rom Thea opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, her throat tightening with bitterness.

"Everything makes sense now. No wonder he agreed to my request for marriage. No wonder he chose to keep it hidden. No wonder he drank so much today. No wonder he keeps testing me about my feelings for Jake. It's because that person in his heart has returned, and Chapter 72

Although she had anticipated this, Thea still felt an indescribable sadness.

"Thea? Thea?" Joyce's voice broke through her thoughts, pulling Thea back to reality.

Thea hastily made an excuse to hang up the phone.

She gazed at the pitch-black sky outside and sighed softly.

As her thoughts drifted, she recalled something.

During her time living alone in Yurtinas, it seemed she had also saved someone.

That person had been dirty and silent, seemingly mute.

What has happened to that person now?' she wondered.

In the cemetery, Nicolas stood before a tombstone, his expression solemn and tinged with sadness.
