Lady Miller perfectly embodied the mindset of prioritizing profit over parting ways.
She thought that Thea and Thorne would be especially looking forward to her gift, even eagerly anticipating these two younger generations to please her with their gifts.
Little did she know, the two people in front of her were the purest souls born for love. Thorne straightforwardly told her, “More than the shares and dividends of the Miller family, what I truly desire as a gift is your acceptance and recognition of Thea.”
Lady Miller turned her head towards Thea and said, “Thorne, you can make money, of course you don’t care about fame and fortune. But Miss Fletcher might not feel the same way.”
Little did Thea know, she regarded money as worthless, “Lady Miller, Theodore is not in good health. Once we get married, I will hand over the Fletcher Group to someone capable to succeed. I will take Theodore to seek out renowned doctors and cure his body. The gift you gave me, it is highly likely that we won’t need it.”
Lady Miller was completely dumbfounded.
People who do not care about fame and fortune, their gifts cannot blackmail others at all.
“Are you leaving the Capital?” She realized belatedly that she might lose a precious grandson.

This was also the first time Thorne had heard Thea mention this plan. His heart was filled with happiness, knowing that he was loved so much by Thea, and he felt content. Naturally, he would not undermine Thea’s idea and said, “This is my wish.”
Lady Miller walked out in a daze, “Your father has only you as his child, and yet you want to leave him. How heartless you are.”
Thorne protested against her with silence.
After Lady Miller left, Thea inexplicably became uneasy.
Lady Miller had been dissatisfied with her before, so she resorted to those underhanded tricks to drag her into the mud, in order to make Theodore give up on her.
Today, she witnessed the intimate scene between her and Theodore. She was probably going to be furious and who knows what bigger scheme she would use to retaliate against
her.
It seems that she had to be more careful recently.
Thea thought about all this, feeling restless, so she didn’t feel like continuing to linger with Thorne. She pretended to be relaxed and cheerful as she bid him farewell, saying, “Theodore, it’s getting late, I have to go back.”
Thorne’s eyes were instantly filled with disappointment.
He held Thea’s hand and said, “There have been many good days recently. Thea, I want to marry you. I can r longer bear the pain of being separated from you and our child.”
After saying that, he hugged Thea tightly, reluctant to let go.

Thea laughed and said, “You weren’t clingy like this before.”
“Nonsense. I used to stick to you too. I just endured and didn’t dare to say it. You have no idea how hard I endured, I almost turned into a ninja turtle.”
Thea thought for a moment and said, “Theodore, let’s get
married first.”
A look of surprise blossomed in Thorne’s eyes. But soon, that joy was overshadowed by a shade of gray, “No, if my uncle finds out that I secretly got married to you, he will definitely hold a grudge against me for the rest of his life.”
Thea said earnestly, “I went to persuade him.”
Thorne was moved, “Then I will go to your house tomorrow to propose. No matter what, I must obtain the approval of your uncle.”
Thea nodded and said, “Then I will wait for you to come tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
As the departure was imminent, Thorne was reluctant to part with Thea. He tightly held her hand and refused to let go. After a while, he gently caressed her flat stomach and asked, “Have you had any morning sickness these days?”
“You were better off not saying anything, but once you did… ugh…”
Thea went to the bathroom and vomited for a while, then returned back feeling listless.
“Don’t mention sensitive words in front of me.”

Thorne saw her face turn pale, and he felt extremely sorry for her.
“Okay, I won’t say it,” he became silent instead, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Time pressed on, Thea kissed his forehead and finally departed.
Thorne gazed at her figure, as if staring at a husband stone with no response for a long time. By the time he snapped out of it, Thea had already disappeared without a trace.
Thorne sat in front of the computer and began to search for information on pregnancy symptoms in pregnant women.
But there were still photos of Nathan and Thea hanging on the hot search, and believe it or not, the two of them really looked quite compatible. The comments below were all in support of them getting back together.
Thorne frowned unhappily, and he took out his phone to call
Thea.
“How come, you already miss me right after leaving?” Thea teased him with a playful tone.
Thorne asked her, “Hot search, do you want me to help you
handle it?”
Thea fell silent for a moment.
Thorne may have sensed her intention, “Keep it, do you have a use for it?”
Thea confessed, “You, the Miller family, have been bullying people too much. I just wanted to give them a taste of their

own medicine. If you don’t like it, then forget it. You can just take down the trending topic!”
Thorne said, “It’s time to show them some colors. So they don’t think my wife is easy to bully. I support you.”
Thea chuckled, “If Lady Miller knew how her precious
grandson disrespected her behind her back, she would be left in tears.”
Thorne said in a grumbling tone, “I only dote on my wife. Whoever makes her unhappy, I don’t care if they are the king of heaven or anyone else, I won’t be pleased.”
Although Thorne had already expressed his loyalty to Thea, she still couldn’t bear to see him caught in the middle between Lady Miller and herself. So she told him, “Don’t worry, I’m just scaring her. I won’t really do anything to her.”
Thorne said, “You don’t have to consider my feelings.”
The next day, a group of police officers really showed up at the Miller family’s door.
One part surrounded Lady Miller, and another part surrounded Mr. Joshua.
At this moment, the Miller family, spanning several generations, were enjoying the flowers and having a heart–to- heart conversation in the garden.
Seeing this situation, Robert naturally sternly questioned the police, “What are you doing? Even if you want to give my mother and younger brother a hard time, there should be a decent reason, right?”

A police officer met Robert and patiently explained to him, “Someone accused your younger brother of spreading false rumors and defaming others‘ reputations” As soon as the words were spoken, Mr. Joshua turned his head guiltily.
Robert understood perfectly, but he angrily exclaimed:
“And what about my mother? She was always a person who turned a deaf ear to things happening outside the window.”
“Your mother was suspected of spreading rumors, which had far–reaching impact and reached the level of being filed.”
Robert looked at his mother in astonishment, he had no idea what his mother had done.
Lady Miller’s eyes revealed a look of astonishment. She was surprised that, as the behind–the–scenes commander, she had only ordered her employees to vigorously promote a few trending topics, yet how did she get exposed so quickly?
She even glared angrily at the maid, suspecting that the maid had betrayed her.
Robert sat down on the sofa.
“How could you be so confused?”
Mr. Joshua pleaded with Robert, “I just felt that Miss Fletcher from the Fletcher family was not worthy of my nephew, so I posted the news of her meeting with Nathan online. I had good intentions, I just wanted Thorne to know Miss Fletcher’s true nature and not be deceived by her. I was doing it for the sake of my nephew.”
Lady Miller was once again astonished, “Did you post that hot
