Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Joyce could not take it anymore. She quickly stepped forward and pushed Lily away.

"Dad? Are you out of your mind?" said Joyce.

She did not use much strength, but Lily looked like she was in great pain, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Ethan was a little helpless. "Joyce, Lily didn't do anything wrong. She's innocent, isn't she?"

Joyce was about to go crazy. "That's not the point. The point is you at least have a bottom line and dignity. Did you stoop so low for that woman? She is the same woman who abandoned you back then."

Ethan stood up and slammed the table. "Joyce Maddox, she's your mother. Do you have any respect for her?"

Joyce's eyes were glistening with tears.

"Mom?"

Mom

As if Joyce had heard something funny, she pointed at her slightly red and swollen face. "Which biological mother would slap her daughter in public?"

Only then did Ethan notice something was wrong with Joyce.

He knew Joyce had always had a strong personality and rarely cried like this in front of others.

A A trace of guilt flashed across Ethan's eyes, and he did not know what to say for a moment.

Then Kelly walked in crying.

"I didn't want to hit you at first, but you kept scolding me and saying why I didn't die outside. You even told me to get out. Joyce, I'm your mother after all. Do you hate me so much? When I hit your face, the pain is in my heart. If I wasn't so disappointed, do you think I rald would have slapped you?" said Kelly. Then she looked at Ethan sadly.

Ethan's gaze slowly became firm. He looked at Joyce with a hint of annoyance for the first time.

"Joyce, your personality has changed drastically ever since your mother returned. You used to be a sensible child. How did

you

become like this?"

Joyce's eyes widened.

Kelly's acting amazed Joyce, but what hurt her most was Ethan's favoritism and distrust.

Joyce laughed bitterly and wiped the tears from her face.

"If you believe her but me, there's nothing else to say. You guys have the meal. You're the family. I'm nothing," said Joyce. Then she turned around and left.

Ethan looked at her back and wanted to ask her to stay, but he did not know what to say.

He was also confused momentarily, wondering if he had done something wrong.

However, when she saw Kelly, tear-stained, beside her, his heart could not help but soften.

"Don't cry. Joyce has never been by your side since she was young. Normally, she can't accept it for a while."

Kelly immediately became cold and pushed his hand away.

Her eyes were cold with a little disgusted. "So, that's your problem. If you knew how to educate your child, why would there be such a problem?" Ethan was not angry when he heard Kelly. He nodded with a guilty expression. "Yes, it's all my fault. Don't be angry."

Kelly stopped crying and said calmly, "So, I'll handle Joyce's education and future development from now on. Do you have any objections?"

Ethan was in a difficult position. "I naturally have no objections, but Joyce is independent. She has her own thoughts. As parents, we shouldn't interfere too much."

Kelly's face fell, and she threw her fork to the ground.

Ethan was helpless and could only change his words, "Alright. I'll listen to you. I'll help you persuade Joyce more."

Upon hearing that, Kelly smiled.

Thea planned to return to the Rowland family on the day she was discharged.

After all, she had fulfilled all the conditions in her grandfather's will. It was time to take back what belonged to her.

However, she met Max before she went back.

Neither Max nor Thea expected such a situation when they met again.

Recalling what he had done to The Thea, Max felt a little embarrassed.

He coughed awkwardly and said, "You've been discharged. Does your leg have any sequelae?"

Thea stirred her coffee with a spoon a and I smiled I carelessly.

I not dare to look into her eyes.

"I didn't expect them to overdo it. Don't worry, I'll investigate when I get back. Whether it's intentional or not, I'll give you justice," said Max.

Max

Max felt he was full of sincerity, but all he got in return was a sneer from Thea.

She supported her chin with her hand and looked at the scenery outside. Her tone was faint as she said, "Max, don't you understand what I'm telling you? I've suffered a lot because of you guys. I can sit here calmly and talk to you now because we can work together temporarily. "However, it doesn't mean I can forgive you for everything you've done. Our relationship has reached the point where there's no way to reconcile. After all," said Thea, pointing at her body. "My wounds are reminding me forgiving you is letting me down." Looking at how serious she was, Max couldn't bring himself to tell her to stop fooling around.

He suddenly felt depressed. He had always been an outsider when he dealt with Thea in the past.

He was also concerned about the overall interests of the Rowland family when he had to intervene.

Chapter 165

Max felt he had his difficulties. Thea should have understood him.

In addition, blood ties could not be ignored.

He naturally felt Thea's words about leaving and hating them were all fake.

Unexpectedly, Thea's disgust was real, and so was her hatred.

Max truly realized he was about to lose Thea forever at that point.

Max stared at Thea's cold eyes in a daze. Suddenly, disappointed, he said, "I still remember you and Duncan always had conflicts when you were little, but you reconciled quickly. I had to worry about how to make you two reconcile most of the time. I racked my brains to think of a way, but I saw you both playing together again.

"You and Duncan laughed at me and said I was a little adult and had endless worries daily. Later on, you and Duncan made a mistake. I took the initiative to come out and take the blame. Mom punished me. You two cried until your eyes were filled with tears. You said you would protect me when you grew up. At that time..."

"Max Rowland," Thea interrupted.

She didn't even call him Max.

"I don't have time to listen to your stories of the past. I'm sorry. I don't remember what you told me. After all, I was so young at that time. I only have memories after the age of ten.

Max had a bitter taste in his throat. A mix of futility and sourness welled up in his heart, and his eyes were slightly red Thea was ten years old when Emmalie was

found.

It was also when her relationship with the Rowland family became worse.

He stood up, losing his composure. "Sorry. I have to go to the bathroom."

Thea nodded and looked out the window again. She listened to Max's fading footsteps and never looked back.

Thea knew if she turned her head, she might talk about kinship with her Max in the future.

However, she felt there was no need.
