Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 154

"Thea, can I talk to you alone for a moment?" Nathan spoke to Thea for the first time in such a gentle tone.

Thea, however, was unappreciative. "There was no need." Her tone was cold and harsh.

Nathan looked sincere and said, "I just wanted to say sorry to you."

Thea looked at Nathan coldly, her gaze sharp as if it could penetrate his soul. She exposed his falsehood, saying, "Nathan, you were never genuinely sorry. You just wanted to seek my forgiveness so that your mother could receive a reduced sentence or even be exempted."

Nathan felt a slight guilt being exposed, but he looked at Thea with relief instead, as if he was certain that the kind-hearted Thea would definitely help him fulfill his wish.

"Thea, my mother, after all, was once your mother-in-law and took care of you. Can you forgive her for the sake of this relationship?"

Unfortunately, Nathan didn't understand Thea well enough.

If it were the Thea from the past, perhaps she was indeed a confused fool without principles, always giving in. But in this life, after experiencing the sorrow of kindness and compromise leading to the death of her beloved daughter, Thea has transformed from being submissive to taking up the butcher's knife herself, wanting to personally slay her enemies, those who bullied her and her daughter.

She looked at Nathan with a malicious glee and said, "Nathan, I wish your mother had died without a proper burial. How could I possibly help her escape punishment?"

Nathan's face turned pale.

He could understand that she hated him, but what he couldn't understand was why Thea hated his mother so much.

"I am the one who hurt you, why do you have to hate my mother?"

Thea's eyes turned red layer after layer. "What do you think your mother is? Just a wicked mother-in-law who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

Nathan's mind was filled with various scenes of Mrs. Hill's mixed feelings towards Isabella. At that time, Mrs. Hill always despised Isabella for marrying Nathan without a dowry and not giving him face, so she treated Isabella very poorly.

Almost every household has some conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Nathan thought that Thea's deep resentment towards her mother was truly due to her narrow-mindedness.

"How did you become like this?" Nathan shook his head, as if he didn't recognize Thea anymore.

His words angered Theo, who immediately gave Nathan his marching orders. "Nathan, my family Thea doesn't want to see you anymore. No matter how Thea has changed, your whole family is disgusting. So, just go away."

Nathan continued to persistently plead, "Mr. Sanchez, as long as you are willing to help my mother avoid imprisonment, I, Nathan, will certainly assist you in advancing your career. Why sacrifice your bright future for a woman?"

Theo's face turned pale. "Nathan, don't think too highly of yourself. Even without your help, I, Theo, could still achieve everything I want."

Nathan sought help in vain and felt utterly frustrated.

Theo, with his sharp tongue, couldn't help but stab Nathan in the heart. "Nathan, even your own father avoids you like the plague. Don't you ever reflect on why you are so detestable?"

This sentence truly made Nathan feel chilled to the bone.

Theo continued to PUA him. "Fortunately, my sister Thea got rid of scum like you, so she could get better and better."

Thea pouted and pushed Theo away, saying, "Theodore, stop being so foul-mouthed. Why waste so much time talking to this kind of beast?"

Nathan was in Thea's mouth, like a scorching ancient beast. Just mentioning him made her feel disgusted and want to vomit.

Theo sought help in vain, feeling miserable, and finally ended up at a bar to drown his sorrows.

Perhaps it was a weekday, and the customers at the bar were very few. The boss recognized Nathan and initiated a conversation with him.

"Sir, it's been a long time since you last visited my bar. Why didn't you bring your girlfriend with you today?"

"I was at Fate Bar."

"Is it okay if I came over to pick you up?"

"Okay. Fortunately, the boss knows you too, so come over and say hello to her."

Victoria was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Then I will come right away."

The boss frowned and muttered to himself, "Victoria... Is that her name?" He had a vague feeling that something was not quite right.

When Victoria pushed open the glass door of the bar, Nathan stood up warmly. He helped Victoria inside and introduced her, saying, "The boss still remembers your kindness in saving him back then."

Victoria looked confused, but she quietly enjoyed the praise that did not belong to her.

But when the boss saw her face clearly, his face became as gloomy as the sky in June instantly.

"Is she your wife?" Her tone was clearly unfriendly.

Nathan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

The boss snorted coldly, "Did you change your girlfriend?"

Like a thunderbolt, Nathan was struck and completely devastated.

"Are you talking about Joe... Isabella?"

The boss woke up as if from a dream. "Yes, I remember she was called by that name."
