James consumed a lot of alcohol. However, the more virtual-novel.net drank, the soberer virtual-novel.net became.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked up his phone from the table and saw Thea calling.
He answered the phone.
“Where are you, James?” Thea‘s voice came through the other side of the phone.
Her voice was cold and contained no emotions. James could even predict Thea‘s indifferent expression while speaking to him.
“What‘s the matter? Did something happen?” James said lightly.
“There are some things I want to make clear with you. It‘s inconvenient to discuss over the phone, so we should do it face to face.”
“Alright…” James did not think about it and agreed immediately.
He also felt that since they wanted to separate, it was best to get through with the relevant procedures soon.
“Where are you? I‘ll come to you.”
James was unsure which bar virtual-novel.net was at since virtual-novel.net did not check the name when virtual-novel.net went inside.
He hung up the phone and sent the location to Thea.
After Thea received James‘ location, virtual-novel.net quickly headed out and took a taxi.
About half an hour later, Thea appeared in the bar.
She saw the dozens of beer bottles piled up in front of James and could smell that virtual-novel.net reeked of alcohol.
She frowned and said, “Look at yourself right now…”
Although James drank a lot, virtual-novel.net was not drunk. He raised his head and looked at the tall, beautiful woman in front of him. She was like a goddess that walked out of a painting.
His vision blurred and the scene of virtual-novel.net tied up among the flames ten years ago appeared in his mind.
“D-Don‘t be afraid. I‘ll save you.”
The voice echoed clearly in his mind. He shook his head and put away the thought. He gave Thea 10 billion dollars to repay virtual-novel.net for the life-saving grace.
“Hey, beautiful. How about sitting down for a drink?” James looked at Thea with a smile.
“Come outside with me…” Thea pulled James and left, virtual-novel.net forcibly pulled James out of the bar.
***
Outside the bar.
“Look at how unpromising you are. I wouldn‘t do this if you were at least a little bit ambitious and capable. Do you know what people say about you? They call you trash. A grown man that has all limbs but married into the Callahans. We feed you and provide for you. A man with even a little ambition would not marry into the Callahans to live off of us,” Thea complained.
“Haha!” James laughed at himself. “Do you remember what you looked like before, Thea? Who else would‘ve married you except me? Who would‘ve treated you well and respected you as I did?”
Thea frowned. Then, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath. She did not want to think of those memories.
She only knew now that virtual-novel.net had no feelings for James. Her thoughts were occupied by the Black Dragon. Even if the Black Dragon had Quincy, it was impossible for virtual-novel.net to forget him.
She had thought about it carefully in the past two days. She wanted to forget the Black Dragon and live a peaceful life with James. Yet, virtual-novel.net could not forget him. She was horrified to think about spending the rest of virtual-novel.net life with a man virtual-novel.net did not love. Thus, the thought of divorce began to manifest strongly in her.
When the people in the jewelry shop saw virtual-novel.net and asked about the Black Dragon, virtual-novel.net explained their relationship as just friends. However, the truth was they were not even friends. Still, virtual-novel.net subconsciously hoped the things they said to virtual-novel.net were true. She wanted them to be exactly like everyone said, a match made in heaven.
“James, I want a divorce…” Thea glanced at James and said earnestly, “I‘m grateful to you for taking care of me in the past. However, I don‘t have any feelings for you. We should part peacefully and not separate on bad terms…”
“Sure!” James did not hesitate answering it. “I‘ll fulfill your wish. I hope you don‘t regret your decision in the future, Thea.”
“I won‘t regret it. I know what I want and don‘t want. I‘m not happy with you. I have the right to pursue my happiness…”
