I Never Regretted Leaving You (Can't Win Me Back)

Chapter 502

Thea’s hand holding the chopsticks trembled, originally reaching for the lotus root, but instead reached for the

braised pork. She added a piece of fatty yet not greasy braised pork into William's bowl and said, “Dad, this is

your favorite braised pork. Please eat it.”

William took a bite, and his cheeks puffed up, “Ouch, how much sugar did they put in this? It's so sweet! It's

almost making my tooth ache.”

Robert joked, “William, our daughter has grown up, she won't stay here anymore.”

Then he picked up a piece of lotus root and said, “Who else loves lotus root so much? Could it be that you,

Thorne, love eating lotus root?”

Thea blushed, her ears turning red.

With his head hanging down, his face almost buried in the bowl.

Thorne, however, cheerfully said, “Yes, | loved eating lotus roots.”

Robert, however, put the lotus root into his mouth and chewed it crisply, looking like he was enjoying it.

William smiled and said, “What a coincidence, Robert also liked to eat lotus roots.”

Thorne’s hand curled slightly.

Thea suddenly lifted her head and anxiously looked at Thorne. Under Thorne’s calm appearance, Thea felt quite

puzzled.

With his biological father in front of him, Theodore longed for family affection and his unforgiving nature, which

couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing. He either should have interrogated Robert about the truth of abandoning his

wife and child, or he should have kept his distance from Robert, never crossing paths with him.

But now Thorne’s lukewarm and indecisive attitude is really making it difficult to figure out his inner thoughts.

Thea was lost in thought for too long, and Thorne reached out and touched her arm. “Thea, what are you

daydreaming about? Let’s eat. The food won't taste good if it gets cold.”

Thea focused her mind and concentrated on eating her meal.

Thorne and Robert fought over the lotus roots, and soon a plate of lotus roots was emptied.

William chuckled and quipped, “You two have such similar habits and tastes, both love eating lotus roots and

both are left-handed.”

William becmore and more suspicious as he spoke, and he suddenly becinterested in examining the

faces of the two people closely. “Robert, don’t you say, Thorne and you, bear sresemblance.”

Robert glanced at Thorne, who was wearing oversized sunglasses and had a small face that was as delicate as a

porcelain doll.

There was a charm in America.

“Don’t talk nonsense, | have never been married in my life. How could | be so lucky and talented?” Robert said.

Thea suddenly suggested, “Uncle, you and Theodore are also destined. Why don’t you adopt Theodore as your

godson?”

Robert stared at Thorne, raising his head.

Seemed to be contemplating.

Upon hearing this, William was so shocked that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand onto the table.

He knew his daughter Jade was never one to make grand gestures. However, her proposal today was a life-

changing decision for Robert.

Would she not make such a decision for Robert without

reason?

Too lost control.

It is inappropriate.

However, Thea had no idea that her proposal was completely inappropriate. On the contrary, she looked at

Robert with anticipation.

Thea was very disappointed by Robert's indecisiveness.

She anxiously looked at Thorne and secretly held his hand under the table.

Thorne smiled at her and said, “Thea, | understand your strong desire to find a cozy hfor me, but you should

understand that the connection between people canno. De forced.”

Thea sighed deeply and said, “Oh, | understand now. | lost my sense of proportion.”

This meal ended in an awkward atmosphere.

In order to alleviate the awkwardness, Thea finished her meal and then went to the kitchen to clean up the

dishes and chopsticks. William, being a cunning fox, had a sudden ideal and also went to the kitchen to help out.

Only Robert and Thorne remained at the dining table.

Robert did not give Thorne face and felt extremely ashamed. He spoke with sdiscomfort, “Thorne, | did not

agree to what Thea said, it is not biased against you. It’s just that this matter is of great importance, and | need

to discuss it with my family members.”

Thorne played with the teacup, wearing a relaxed expression as if he was indifferent to the world. “You don’t

need to explain. This kind of thing was always a mutual agreement between us, you have your concerns, and |

have mine. In the end, it’s just our shallow fate.”

Thorne had no intention of ingratiating himself with Robert, which surprised Robert. He had thought that Thea

deliberately made him adopt Thorne as his son to provide Thorne with a powerful backer. And this action was a

way to reconcile with Thorne in advance.

“I must have misunderstood,” Robert said apologetically with a smile.

Thorne glanced at him and said, “Mr. Robert, with his immense wealth, felt that everyone close to you had

ulterior motives. It concerns Thea’s reputation. I'd better clarify it for

her.”

He paused and said, “Thea and | met on Weibo. She was a person who valued emotions more than material

gains. Her suggestion just now, although absurd, was just to fulfill one of my long-standing wishes. It was not for

the wealth of the Miller family.”

Robert laughed even more awkwardly, “I knew.”

After Thorne finished speaking, he slid away in his wheelchair.

Robert took a sip of his drink and, for sreason, turned down Thorne. He felt as if he had lost billions for no

apparent

reason.

Sad, disappointed!

Kitchen.

Thea stood in front of the sink washing dishes, while William stood in front of her like a door god.

“Dad, | didn’t need your help here.” Thea felt that her dad not only didn’t help, but also got in the way, so she

said.

William hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopped himself, “Jade.”

Thea noticed that her father wanted to say something to her, and she took the initiative to tear through this

layer of paper, “Dad, do you want to know why | behaved so badly in front of Uncle today?”

William stared into her eyes, “You haven't regretted wh did just now until now. It shows that you didn’t say this

on a whim.”

Thea nodded, “Yes, | wanted to give Theodore a home. Such a mindset was too urgent. So | didn’t think it

through.”

William said, “But why is it specifically Robert?”

Thea, who was not good at lying, beca little flustered and said, “I guess it was because | thought my uncle

was a good person.”

William shook his head and said, “I'm afraid it’s not for this reason. Jade, you are my daughter, and | know what

you are thinking. You have always been sensible, so it doesn’t make sense for you to do something so impulsive

today. After thinking about it, | can only guess one reason: Robert and Thorne have a deep blood connection. Is

that right?”

Thea looked at William in shock and asked, “How did Dad find

out?”

“I have seen Robert when he was young, and although Thorne was wearing sunglasses, | couldn't see his eyes.

But his graceful gestures and demeanor were somewhat similar to Robert when he was young. Moreover, they

had similar tastes and both were left-handed, so | made this speculation.”

Thea remained silent and nodded after a long while, “Dad is really meticulous.”

William's speculation beca reality, and he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

“But Robert never got married, he had someone in his heart, always maintaining his purity and never getting

involved in any affairs. Thorne couldn't be his biological child, right?”
