Chapter 46
All James wanted was to make Thea happy. He asked the Blithe King for an invitation, but he had not expected someone else to take the credit for it and cause Thea to misunderstand the situation. He ran after her when his call with Henry ended.
“Thea.”
He caught up to her and grabbed her arm.
“I wasn’t lying to you,” he tried to explain.
“I had someone send that invitation, but I wasn’t expecting them to take the credit for it.”
“You’re still trying to steal credit? You’re useless!” Gladys snapped.
“Haven’t we been humiliated enough?!”
“Sis, he’s just a retired soldier,” David said to Thea.
‘There’s no way he’s as capable as he says. Just divorce him!”
“Enough, James,” Thea said, tears pooling at the corner of her eyes.
“I’m grateful for how well you treated me, and I’m forever grateful you healed me. But I don’t want to see you right now! Please leave!”
With that, she turned around, sobbing as she ran.
James panicked. He had never felt so helpless, even when he faced thousands of enemy troops.
“Useless lout. Can’t even do anything right,” Gladys cursed at him again. James stood still and watched the Callahans leave, then took in a deep breath. He chased after them to their home but was forbidden from entering. With no other choice, he chose to leave. He decided he would explain what had, happened to Thea once she had calmed down. He made his way to Henry’s clinic.
