Semua Bab I Never Regretted Leaving You: Bab 471 - Bab 480

"Jade, come here and have some lotus seed soup," William said as he held the bowl of lotus seed soup he had made in his hands and presented it to his daughter.Thea took it over, but immediately handed it to Thorne.Thorne glanced at William and couldn't help but suppress a laugh when he saw his defeated expression.William felt unhappy inside, but he smiled kindly on the surface and said, "Thorne, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..."Thorne immediately cleared his throat and gave him a signal with his eyes.He never even complained to Thea. Why William got all worked up?William was dumbfounded, and then he closed his mouth in a daze.Thea took a sip of lotus seed soup and then looked at her father, asking cautiously, "Shouldn't what?"William glanced at Thorne again, and Thorne shook his head slightly. William was now one hundred percent sure that Thorne had not reported him. He felt relieved in his heart. He then smiled and pretended to be careless, saying, "Dad shouldn't have let Jewel

Thea looked fearfully at the ceiling, sorting out her jumbled thoughts. She must have developed romantic feelings for Thorne, feeling ashamed in her heart, which led her to have these shameful dreams.This is not a good thing after all, as Thorne already had someone in mind.That night, just like Thea, William also had a sleepless night.Ever since Thorne entered his home, his heart has been constantly hanging. He can feel that his daughter's favor towards him is almost ingrained in her bones, but he always feels that Thorne is not a good match for Thea.Not to mention Thorne's disability in both legs, his experience of having been imprisoned would discourage any woman.After thinking all night, William came to the conclusion that he had to break up Thorne and Thea, no matter what.The next day.Thea slept until she woke up naturally.After she went downstairs, she was surprised to find that the house was unusually lively.William and Kyler, the brothers who always argued whenever the

Thorne had an expressionless face, but his handsome eyebrows were deeply furrowed.William said again, "No wonder Kyler holds you in such high regard, it turns out it's because of your prestigious background."However, William clearly did not look up to Thorne just because he was born into a prestigious family. Instead, he looked down on Thorne even more, “But don't think for a moment that I will look up to you just because you come from a wealthy family. I, William, am not that materialistic or vain. My daughter doesn't need to marry into a wealthy family because she herself is from a prominent family. I only want her to marry a decent, sincere, and caring young man."Thorne suddenly got playful and teased, "How do you know I didn't genuinely care for her and spoil her?"He clearly gave her his heart, his wealth, and his life.Couldn't William, a foolish idiot with high grades but low intelligence, see it?William was quite arrogant and said, "Perhaps you have a tiny bit of affection

Thea laughed, "He, he has absolutely no self-awareness."A sour feeling welled up in her heart, as she couldn't live up to the many expectations her father had for her.Thorne noticed Thea's gloomy expression and suddenly sorrowfully took her hand, “Thea, you deserve all the praise your father had. You deserve any man in this world."Thea blurted out, "And what about you? Why do you avoid me like the plague?"Thorne's thin lips slightly parted, and his handsome face became visibly distressed. "I..."Thea realized that she had been too hard on him and felt ashamed, so she awkwardly stepped back one meter away and said incoherently, "Theodore, I was just joking with you. I am... I am just lacking confidence in myself, feeling strongly that I don't deserve happiness. I was trying to overcome it, so I sought security with you.""I knew my behavior was outrageous. After all, a sense of security is something no one can provide. It is also unreliable. In the end, the only person you can alwa

William's dissatisfaction with Thorne was evident in his eyes, as he crossed his arms and grumbled, "What do you mean? So you're saying all those compliments about my daughter were just lies?"Thorne said seriously, "I didn't deceive her.""Why not just praise her in the end?"Thorne looked at him helplessly and said, "I was afraid she would cling to me."William's expression instantly became varied, his fists clenched tightly, making a cracking sound. He paced back and forth in anger, saying, "Where exactly is my daughter not good enough for you? How dare you treat her so cheaply?""Uncle, I did not disrespect her. I couldn't make her any promises, so I didn't want to give her any hope," Thorne said solemnly.William paused for a moment, calmed down, and also felt that Thorne's words and actions were not wrong.He sighed, "You're right. It was Jade's own problem. She was harshly treated by her stepmother since childhood, and later she encountered Nathan, this scumbag. She has been co
