NovelEnglishChapter 47 Chapter 47 Jake was just starting to feel pleased, but he remembered seeing Thea get into another man's car a few days ago. Then his face suddenly turned cold.
With a scoff, Jake tilted his chin up slightly and said, "Thea, stop. This kind of behavior is just makingannoyed.
"If you want to marryone day, you seriously need to work on that spoiled little princess attitude of yours." Thea was utterly confused by his words.

I've given you so many chances, but you keep putting up this front, then pulling these little stunts to get my attention. Isn't this exhausting for you?" Finally, Thea understood what he was implying. She almost laughed out loud at how ridiculous it was.
Thea looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "Why on earth would you think that after you cheated onwith another woman. I'd still be into you? And that I'd go out of my way to get your attention?" Jake's face tightened, and he shot back, Then explain why you're here" Thea's lips curled into a smirk, a strange glint in her eyes. "Jake, the Hendrix family doesn't only have you. There are way better options than you.
"I still plan on marrying into the Hendrix family, but not to you. Got a problem with that?" Jake's fists clenched as his voice becmore strained. "What do you mean by that?" you. I'd rather choose someone Thea raised an eyebrow, her tone light but sharp. "Exactly what I said. I don't want to choose yo else Thea paused, then continued, "Take your uncle, Nicolas. He's good-looking, rich, and he's going to inherit everything. Why wouldn't I go for him instead? Giveone good reason why I should settle for you," When Jake heard this, his expression changed, but instead of anger, he chuckled. "Thea, even if you're just trying to pissoff, there's no need to drag my uncle into this.
"People outside don't know, but those of us in the family do. Nicolas will never love another woman, He has someone he's been in love with abroad for years.
"As far as I know, even if he gets married, it's just to keep his family off his back. The spot for his real wife has already been taken, and when she comes back, whoever is with him will have to step aside." Thea's face remained calm, but her heart twisted painfully for a second. Nicolas already has someone he loved? Why hasn't he ever mentioned it? she thought.
Jake's words echoed in her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder. 'Will our marriage end once that woman returns?" Thea knew it was a marriage of convenience. She'd always known this day would come. But now, faced with the reality, the truth still stung.
Thea dug her nails into her palm, lighting to keep any sign of enjotion from her face in front of Jake. Her voice grew sharper, laced with sarcasm. "If that's true, then I love to say, the gap between you and your uncle is enormous. 11:51 Sat, Oct 26 ki uu.

"One of you knows how to stay commited, while the other throws away years of feelings without a second thought. "I may not be good enough for Nicolas, but what makes you think you are good enough for me?" Jake's face darkened, his chest rising and falling as his temper flared.
Then Jake grabbed Thea's wrist roughly, his voice harsh. Then Jetteach you a lesson. You've been the one chasing afterand trying to get into the Hendrix family. "Whether you like Madelyn or not, you don't get to make that choice.
"And just so you know, Grandpa is here today, and I'll tell him about our engagement personally.
"Once he makes a decision, there's no turning back. Being the future Mrs.
Hendrix without my love is the punishment you'll get for your attitude.
