Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 287

On the way back to Silvercreek, Joyce looked listless and nothing could arouse her spirits, which almost broke Thea's heart.

When they returned to the apartment, Joyce suddenly woke up. What are we just standing here? I finally got out of my misery. We should hold a party to celebrate it!"

Her smile was too forced. Anyone could tell at a glance that she was not heartfelt.

Jamie said solemnly, "Joyce, there's no need for you to pretend to be happy for us. If you want to cry, my shoulder is here."

Despite her mother's absence, at least Joyce had a happy childhood with her father. Now that she had separated from the only one who loved her, she would be haunted by distress for a long time.

She almost couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. But she just punched Jamie's chest. "Shoulder for what? I haven't even forgiven you yet. Why did you say that you were my boyfriend? There's nothing between us!" Thea nodded wisely. Sensing their affection, she immediately brought Nicolas out of the living room. They could even hear the conversation coming from inside.

"Not yet? So does that mean that there will be a chance?" Jamie's eyes were sincere. In his excitement, he clenched Joyce's small hand into a fist.

Joyce had learned drawing, so there were calluses on her middle finger. She had once felt inferior because of this, but now, she could genuinely feel that Jamie was willing to hold her wound so warmly.

His every word was telling his mind. "Joyce, actually, I've liked you since the first time I met you. But we've only known each other for a short time. I'm afraid that you will feel offended if I show my feelings rashly." Jamie was nervous. He had just entered society and had never experienced such a relationship before.

Now, under Joyce's gaze, his shoulders were trembling. "But ever since I went to your family today, I've made up my mind to protect you. Perhaps your old family isn't complete, so we can have a new family that belongs to us. I'll definitely give you all the best." His words were sincere and frank. Coupled with his immature face, his words were filled with affection. "Joyce, are you willing to be with me?"

Joyce retracted her hand and raised her eyebrows casually. "What about a month of internship?"

"Not to mention a month, I can do it even a year."

Thea and Nicolas returned to the car. The confined space was filled with his smell.

"What did you say to Mr. Maddox just now? Why did he suddenly relent? I don't think he wanted to let Joyce go." Thea was puzzled for a long time. Considering that Joyce was here, Thea hadn't asked about it. After all, she did not want to hear any more news about the Maddox family.

Nicolas smiled. "You want to know?" He looked at Thea's rare tender face and came up with something to tease her. "But you have to give me some benefits."

His long fingers tapped the corner of his lips. The signal was clear.

Thea blushed. In the end, she could not resist her curiosity. Their lips touched each other and exchanged warmth and moisture. They had clearly already done the most intimate thing, but they still felt shy. Chapter 287

Thea almost bounced back "Can you say it now?"

"Not enough." He shook his head.

Thea was about to grit her teeth when the back of her head was grabbed by his large palm. Soon, his warm breath enveloped her face and her head was filled with a cold fragrance.

Nicolas's kiss was never as aggressive as he looked. It was passionate and gentle, afraid of hurting Thea.

It was not until her body collapsed on the seat and she hummed shyly that Nicolas finally let her go.

The man was half-satisfied. "Jamie is not as simple as he looks. He's from the Miller family in Sarlimar. Have you heard of it?"

The hoarse voice reminded Thea of their intimacy just now, but the implication also woke her up instantly. "The Miller family? And in Sarlimar? That's a really powerful family. They only have one child in this generation..." Could it be that this only child was Jamie?

At the same time, Thea was shocked and worried for Joyce. "Now that she had fallen out with the Maddox family, if she really marries into the Miller family, she will looked down upon and even despised."

"But she has you, right? Her best friend. Do you remember how you defended her today? You didn't seem to be afraid of the Miller family." Nicolas's eyes were filled with humor.

This was the first time that Thea had known that Nicolas had such a witty mouth. She remained silent. After all, everyone in this world had their own path to take. She had no right to make a decision for Joyce. The only thing she could do was to give her friend absolute support.

With this incident, Thea wanted to leave the focus to Joyce, and moving was put behind for the time being.

When she opened the door, Joyce was sunken into the sofa and her face got pink. It was obvious that she had fallen in love, and deeply.

"Thea!" Joyce called out excitedly. Jamie had just left. At this moment, Joyce's face was still slightly blushed. "Previously, when I was engaged to Max and tied up for the engagement banquet, I really felt that I was over.

"Fortunately, I had you. That's why I have the chance to meet someone I really love and who also has me in his heart."

Whenever Jamie was mentioned, Joyce would smile brightly.

Thea could only suppress her thoughts of revealing the truth.

Unexpectedly, Joyce spoke first. "After Jamie confessed to me, he told me everything about his family background. Now, I kind of doubt my choice."

Today, Ethan was right about one thing. Joyce's reputation had been ruined because they canceled the engagement. Even if the matter had nothing to do with her, she could not escape from people's prejudice.

Given that the Maddox family was far inferior to them, would the Miller family really accept such a daughter-in-law? Joyce was not sure. It was rare for her to be so unconfident. She nestled beside Thea and tried to seek comfort and help. Thea said solemnly, "Joyce, love is actually a simple thing. It only concerns the two of you. As long as the two of you are determined enough, does anything else matter?

"When people knew my marriage with Nicolas, they were all saying that he was out of my league. But so what? He firmly chose me. And that's the only thing that matters."

Joyce sobered up a little and straightened her back somehow. "That's right. It's his blessing that I, such a good girl, took a Chapter 287

fancy to a brat like him Why should I get myself anxious for him?"

But in the next moment, Joyce panicked because of a phone call "It's a number from Sarlimar."
