The Callahans were determined to kick James and Xara out. Gladys even showed them to the door with a broom.
Outside the door, Xara cried her eyes out upon seeing the pieces of clothing on the floor.
She looked at James apologetically. “J-James, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
James waved her off.
It was a trivial matter, and he did not take it to heart.
“Alright now, stop blaming yourself. It’s not entirely your fault. The Callahans have long had a problem with me. They’ve been trying to convince Thea to divorce me for a while now. Thea used to stand up for me, but now that something like this has happened, getting a divorce should be on the table.”
Although it was not too serious of a problem, it certainly did complicate things a little.
“I-I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. If you two divorce, I-I’m all yours.”
James glanced at her. “Give it up. I only have Thea in my heart.”
James knew Xara only spoke these words because she thought he was a big shot after yesterday’s event.
“I-I’m serious,” Xara said. “You have no status whatsoever among the Callahans. Just get the divorce. I don’t consider myself to be beneath Thea. I’m rather good-looking too.”
Thea walked out. She planned to return the Black Dragon card to James.
She had overheard their conversation as she opened the door.
She could not hold back her tears.
Regardless, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and forced an awkward smile on her tear-stricken face.
“James, here’s your card. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, the care you’ve shown me, and all you’ve done for the Callahans. I wish you two the best.”
She stuffed the card in James’ hands. Then, covering her mouth, she ran back into the house in tears.
Slam!
Before James could explain himself, Thea had turned and slammed the door shut.
James put the card away in resignation.
Seeing the frustration on James’ face, Xara knew that James only had Thea in his heart. She would not have the opportunity to be with him in this lifetime.
Hence, she consoled him.
“James, come back and explain things to her when she’s no longer mad. She’ll forgive you.”
She then bent down and collected the pieces of clothing on the floor.
She stuffed them into the suitcase and waved goodbye to James, who was still standing by the door.
