Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 164

Joyce quickly shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm just sad you were treated like this. But it's okay. Look at how good you are now. Nicolas will protect you. Everything will get better."

Thea shook her head. She lowered her voice and said quietly, "I'm only marrying Nicolas for a collaboration. It's also temporary. I have to become stronger before I divorce him. At least I have someone to rely on. Otherwise, those people will eat me up." Joyce was surprised. "What divorce? Even if it's a collaboration, I can see Nicolas is genuinely protecting you. Nicolas and you might not

have a great relationship, but it can't be that bad that you want a divorce, right? Thea, you should know most couples don't have feelings for each other in our circle. For example, my parents."

There was a tinge of melancholy in Joyce's tone.

Thea was a little surprised. "Your mother?"

Previously, Thea had heard Joyce was from a single-parent family. After knowing her for so long, Thea had never heard anything about her mother from Joyce.

Thea thought Joyce's mother had passed away long ago, so she had never asked.

Unexpectedly, Joyce's mother was still alive and well in the world.

Joyce was a little resentful. "In the past, she had some trouble with my father and left. Now, she's back. She's still so heartless. She doesn't love my father, but my father has been obsessed with her like he's been possessed by a demon. However, it's nothing. I don't have t Thea naturally did not ignore Joyce's strange reaction.

She grabbed Joyce's hand, her eyes filled with worry as she said, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Joyce shook her head. "What can I hide from you? Do I look like someone who has worries? Don't let your imagination run wild. My father dotes on me so much that he will protect me."

Joyce was unwilling to say, so Thea did not continue asking.

However, Thea still felt a little worried.

'Maybe I should visit the Maddox family more often after my leg recovers, then I might find something wrong,' thought Thea.

Thea and Joyce chatted for a while, and then Thea suddenly felt a little tired.

Upon seeing the tiredness in Thea's eyes, Joyce did not stay any longer

"Look at you. You still have to recuperate well. Your stamina can't keep up with the past." said Thea.

Thea smiled. "I don't know why, but I've been sleepy recently, I guess I've been lying in the hospital for too long and don't like to move."

Joyce was a little worried. "Why don't you go for a full-body checkup? I keep feeling the medicine they injected you with that day is not simple. It mustn't contain anything else."

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. If there are any other problems, I'll resolve them immediately."

Only then did Joyce nod in relief.

As soon as Joyce went downstairs and saw the familiar car, the smile she had when she was chatting with Thea disappeared,

Joyce quickened her pace and passed by the car with a glum

However, she could only stop helplessly when she heard the sound of

Walking back to the car, Joyce looked at Kelly coldly and said, "What's the matter?"

Kelly was angry with Joyce's attitude. "What do you mean? I'm your mother. Who would talk to their mother like this?"

Joyce sneered. "So what I'm your daughter? Are you skilled at betraying your daughter? The news of my friend Thea should been

"Enough!" Kelly interrupted Joyce impatiently. "Parents are always right to educate their children in the world. No matter what the Rowland family did, it was because Thea was disobedient and insensible if they were too much. There would be no children without parents.

Kelly was furious. She pointed at Joyce's nose and scolded, "You don't listen to me but your father. If you anger me away, your father will be heartbroken. Joyce Maddox, are you so heartless?"

Joyce's tightly clenched fists relaxed weakly.

She couldn't do it. She was raised by her father with great hardship.

Even if she didn't understand why her father couldn't forget Kelly who had run away for so many years, she still didn't want to see her father sad.

Upon seeing the helplessness and fatigue in Joyce's family today. Don't throw a tantrum."

Yes, Kelly smiled smugly. "Get in the car. Everyone is gathering at the

Joyce subconsciously felt disgusted and thought, 'What gathering? Kelly has been thinking of ways to find a boyfriend for me since she returned. Although Kelly said she is looking for a boyfriend for me, she is thinking of a way to sell me for a good price.' Kelly brought a young

man

with her on all kinds of occasions.

She always encouraged men to approach Joyce as long as she felt suitable, completely ignoring Joyce's thoughts.

Upon seeing Joyce was unwilling to get into the car, Kelly emphasized, "Your father is also there. If you don't go, I won't go either."

Joyce rolled her eyes and got into the car. She slammed the door shut.

Kelly's face darkened.
