Chapter 472 288 Vouchers “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 in and taken Thorne away.”

Thea’s face turned dark when she heard Jewel’s name. She remained silent and sullen.

Chapter 472 William and Thorne exchanged a glance, both equally perplexed. William asked, “Jade, don’t you like Jewel?”

Was Unfortunately, Jewel was Thorne’s fiancée, and she unwilling to criticize Jewel in front of Thorne, which made him embarrassed and uncomfortable. Feeling frustrated, he stood up and said, “I’m going to the study to look at some documents.”

After Thea left, William’s face turned cold.

“Hmph. It’s all because of you, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Playing both sides. Jade must be jealous,” William frowned upon Thorne, disapproving from every angle.

Thorne looked at Thea’s departing figure with a puzzled expression on his face.

Why didn’t she like Jewel?

Is it really jealousy?

As soon as the words “jealousy” came up, Thorne’s heart blossomed with flowers. A faint smile adorned his face.

William was furious, “How dare you laugh? Seeing two outstanding and beautiful girls jealous of each other because of you, do you feel particularly accomplished?”

Thorne looked at William and nodded, “Yes.”

Jewel didn’t care whether he should be jealous or not.

She has always been introverted and never bothered with these petty jealousies.

William angrily snatched the silver ear fungus soup from Thorne’s bowl and said, “You don’t deserve to eat the silver ear fungus soup I made.”

Thorne saw his furious appearance and instead of getting angry, he laughed.

Then he snatched the white fungus soup back and drank it all in one gulp. “This was given to me by Thea. If I don’t drink it, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to her?”

William was furious.

“Was my daughter indebted to you in her past life?”

Thorne said, “Probably.”

William snorted coldly in his nose, “Hmph.”

Thorne, bored to death, placed his wheelchair in front of the French windows in the living room. He enjoyed the heavy rain outside.

William washed the dishes and sat beside the coffee table, lighting a cigarette. He took a deep drag and sighed, staring at Thorne’s back. He wondered how he could make his daughter see that this person was nothing more than a beautiful face.

Then he suddenly realized and took out a chess set from the drawer. “Thorne, come over and play chess with me.””

He was a genius mathematician, unbeatable in chess. He made Thorne lose even his underwear, making his daughter witness his embarrassment. Everyone was fascinated by him.

Thorne rolled his wheelchair over.

Then, sitting across from William, he leisurely picked up the chessboard and began setting it up.

William observed him, seeing him move slowly, and couldn’t help but worry for him, “Can he play chess?”

“I knew a little.”

“Have you been here before?”

“No, but I have learned the rules on the computer.”

William sighed and silently removed two pieces from the board, saying, “Don’t accuse me of bullying you. I took away two soldiers, fair enough.”

Thorne was stunned. Then William took out the gun and put it back in again, saying, “No need to give it to me.”

“That’s what you said. If you lose in such an embarrassing way, my daughter will despise you. She doesn’t like foolish men.”

Thorne let out a sound from his throat, “Hmm.”

Then the two people started playing chess.

At first, William was always holding a thermos cup, feeling relaxed and content.

his haphazard attacks, his opponent managed to successfully evade every single one of them, without any casualties. He decided to set aside his thermos cup and started taking the situation seriously.

On the other hand, Thorne would occasionally glance at the study upstairs. Then he would casually inquire about Thea’s daily routine.

“Does Thea work this late every day?”

“Yeah. Working overtime and staying up late were the norm in the past few years. I was worried about her health and wanted to persuade her to stop. But if she stopped, her mindset would be bad, and she would always reminisce about her deceased husband. She would fall into a state of reminiscence, grief, and despair. Thinking about it, it’s better to let her immerse herself in work, at least work can help her forget her troubles.”

Seemingly realizing something, William suddenly shouted, “Take the game seriously. I’m already bad at it, and you’re not even trying. Don’t give me a sour face if you lose later!”

Thorne curled his lips and said, “Oh, okay.”

Then he lifted the chess piece and ate one of William’s soldiers.

William stared, then shrugged. “Every time I chat with you, I let my guard down and you take advantage of it.“”

Thorne smiled and said nothing.

Just as Thea finished work, she put on a coat and went downstairs.

Then she went to the sideboard and took a bowl of popcorn, sat in front of Thorne, and ate popcorn while watching them play chess.

Thorne casually played chess, but he was completely focused on chatting with Thea, “Is work finished?”

Thea said, “Hmm.”

She fed the popcorn directly into his mouth.

“Your favorite flavor.”

Thorne stood there motionless.

“How did you know that I liked this flavor?”

Thea was also stunned.

She searched earnestly in her memory: she and Theodore were dependent on each other in their childhood, and they were so poor that they couldn’t even afford to eat enough. How could they have money for snacks?

Later, when she met him again, she didn’t recognize him. It was just a fleeting glance. It was even more impossible for her to know his lifestyle preferences.

Until this time, she brought him back home from the Rainbow Bridge...

In their lives, popcorn never appeared from beginning to end.

82354 Chapter 472 “It must be that I remembered it wrong,” Thea laughed.

Thorne’s eyes were deep in color, shimmering with a mysterious glow.

“But I, indeed, loved this flavor the most.”
