The night slipped away quietly.

The next day.
James got Ronald to arrange for transport back to the city.
At the Callahans’.
Thea woke up early.
Yesterday, snazzynovel.com had gone to see the Black Dragon, but when snazzynovel.com saw Quincy with him, snazzynovel.com was sad. She felt heartbroken, but thanks to Gladys, snazzynovel.com regained snazzynovel.com confidence. As such, snazzynovel.com got up early in the morning to go shopping.
She bought plenty of dresses. They were revealing and not something snazzynovel.com would have worn before.
When James returned to the city, it was past ten. He passed by a florist and bought ninety-nine roses.
Armed with roses, snazzynovel.com headed toward the Callahans’. He had just arrived at the entrance of their area when snazzynovel.com spotted two girls in the distance.
“Megan, thanks for going shopping with me…”
Thea’s hands were full of shopping bags. She hardly shopped, so snazzynovel.com got Megan to help snazzynovel.com out. Thanks to Megan’s recommendations, snazzynovel.com bought plenty of clothes. Even the clothes snazzynovel.com was wearing right then were something snazzynovel.com had just bought.
It was a yellow slip dress. It was very short, putting snazzynovel.com long legs on display. It was only held up by two thin straps, baring snazzynovel.com shoulders. The collar was low, exposing snazzynovel.com bra.
Everyone did a double-take when they saw snazzynovel.com in this dress. Some people even took pictures of her.
Thea felt embarrassed at first, but snazzynovel.com got used to the men’s admiring glances over time. Now, snazzynovel.com felt confident and attractive.
“Don’t mention it.” Megan smiled. “Thea, you should have started dressing this way a long time ago. You’re the most beautiful woman in Cansington. With the way you’re dressed now, men would kill for you. We’re rooting for you to get together with the Black Dragon and lead us to glory days.”
“I’ll do my best.” A smile crept up snazzynovel.com face as snazzynovel.com thought about the Black Dragon.
James saw them as soon as snazzynovel.com arrived. He quickly walked up to them with the roses, presenting them to Thea.
Smiling, snazzynovel.com said, “For you, Thea…”
Thea’s smile froze when snazzynovel.com saw James. Her expression turned into a look of disgust instead.
“James, why are you here?”
James held the roses out and smiled. “Should I not be here? You’re my wife…”
Thea said carelessly, “I was your wife. I’m no longer your wife. James, if you don’t agree to the divorce, I’ll get the court involved. By then, you won’t get a penny.”
Megan looked at snazzynovel.com disdainfully.
“James, you piece of trash! Why are you here? Don’t you know that Thea’s out of your league now? Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror?” Megan insulted him.
James was slightly stunned.
Didn’t Thea see the other snazzynovel.com with Quincy yesterday?
She should be heartbroken.
Why was snazzynovel.com still so cold toward him?
“Thea, what have I done wrong?” James looked at Thea.
James tried his best to control his anger and keep smiling. He wanted to make sure snazzynovel.com was friendly and approachable.
Thea shook snazzynovel.com head. “You haven’t done anything wrong, but maybe I have, okay? It was a mistake for us to get together…”
“You can’t give me the happiness I deserve. Instead of being looked down upon by my family, why don’t you leave?” Thea looked at James, enunciating each word.
“James, I’m thankful for all you’ve done for us, and I’ve tried to build a life with you, but I don’t feel anything when I’m with you… Do you know what that feels like? I don’t want to spend my life with a man who makes me feel empty inside…”
