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

Chapter 500

Robert was shocked to learn that Lady Miller had rewarded Victoria so generously for saving her life, to the

extent that it could change Victoria's social status. While it was customary to repay a life-saving favor, Thorne’s

comment that “Victoria's encounter with Lady Miller was not a coincidence” made him suspicious of Victoria's

motives for getting close to Lady Miller.

“Zane, please tell Lady Miller that the adoption of Victoria as a goddaughter will be postponed until | have some

matters clarified.”

Zane laughed and said, “Sir, did you suspect Ms. Victoria's motives for getting close to the lady?”

Robert said, “Hmm.”

Zane said, “Since staying with the Miller family, Ms. Victoria has been extremely filial to Lady Miller. She chats

and talks with Lady Miller every day, and brews tea and pours water for her. She also politely declines any gifts

given by Lady Miller. She has a fresh and plain appearance. Lady Miller likes her very much.”

Robert said, “Someone said that Mr. Joshua is not the mother’s child. | didn’t believe it at first. Now it seems that

what he said is true.”

“So, he said that Victoria's encounter with her mother was a carefully planned design. | dare not disbelieve.”

Zane looked surprised and exclaimed, “Who is this mysterious person? How did they predict everything so

accurately?”

Robert laughed and said, “A young man. His words still need to be verified. Can't fully trust.”

Zane nodded, “Oh.”

After Zane left, Robert sat on the chair for a long time. Then, he suddenly stood up and hurriedly walked out.

The Fletcher Manor.

When Robert appeared again at the Fletcher Manor, it was noon, and Thorne and William were engrossed in a

gof

chess.

Thorne looked up and saw Robert. Robert made a hushing gesture towards him, and then stealthily walked

behind William.

William frowned, holding a cannon in his hand, unsure of what to do.

Robert suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Haha. William, oh William, you have your days too. Weren't you

quite skilled at chess before? How ctoday you can furrow your brow and kill a fly?”

“Your chess skills have declined. Could it be that you've been idle all these years and your brain has become

dull?”

William heard Robert's voice, looked up, and exclaimed excitedly, “Oh, Robert, you're here?”

After greeting, he immediately retorted to Robert, “Don’t just focus on making fun of me. Lettell you, it's not

chess skills have declined or that I've becstupid, it’s just that the opponent is too strong”

William randomly threw the chess pieces onto the chessboard and then stood up. “Robert, con, you and

Thorne have a game. | want to see if you can still laugh so cheerfully when you get slapped in the face,” he said.

Robert glanced at him and said, “If it rains, it rains. Even if | lose, there’s no way | would lose as miserably as you

did. Your talent was completely devoured by the opponent. It’s truly embarrassing.”

Robert sat across from Thorne and then set up the chessboard again.

Thorne leisurely restored the chessboard, his calm and relaxed demeanor, as if he were an extraordinary

immortal, already detached from the mundane world.

After the chessboard was set up, Thorne said, “Please.”

Robert also didn’t hesitate and made a move in the game.

Thorne, however, chatted with him while playing chess, “Any results?”

At first, Robert leisurely responded to him, “You guessed one thing right.”

Thorne corrected his wording, “It’s not that | guessed one thing right, it’s that in such a short time, you only

found out the whole story of one thing.”

Robert couldn’t help but grimace, “You're right. As for the other two matters, | will look into them slowly.”

Thorne said, “You have to hurry up. Otherwise, your household will not be at peace.”

Robert didn’t reply to him for a long time.

Upon closer inspection, he had already tightened his old face. He was fully engrossed in studying the

chessboard.

“Don’t deliberately talk toto distract my mind,” Robert said.

Thorne curled his lips.

William defended Thorne, saying, “Robert, give it up. Admit that you are not as skilled as him and don’t

embarrass yourself. When you played chess with Thorne, you lost a bunch of brain cells, while Thorne effortlessly

and contentedly won.”

Robert looked up and sized up Thorne. Sure enough, he saw his gaze directed upstairs, with a handsand

gentle face. He had a distracted look on his face.

Robert felt humiliated and said, “Thorne, be serious. If you lose later, don’t say that you didn’t give it your all.”

Thorne casually picked up a chess knight and walked to the other side.

William was also a wise person. With one step, he could see three steps ahead and realized that this horse could

When he was able to set up the defense, he realized that no matter what he did, it seemed impossible to

But he secretly thought that Thorne might not see farther than him. Perhaps he had just luckily made it this far.

So he deliberately turned a blind eye and took another step.

Little did Thorne know that, as he had predicted, the cannons would indeed ccrashing down, trapping him in

a besieged city.

William laughed heartily, “Hahaha, Robert, aren’t you supposed to be good? You lost in just fifteen steps.”

Robert looked at Thorne in astonishment, he was truly amazed by his talent and intelligence.

At that time, Thea had slept enough and went downstairs.

Thorne’s gaze fixed on Thea, “Thea, did you sleep well last night?”

“Excellent.”

Thea walked over and greeted Robert.

Robert carefully observed Thea, noticing her kind and gentle eyes, her full and graceful figure, and her elegant

and timeless beauty, which exuded the charm of a traditional lady, unlike the heavily made-up and flashy girls of

today.

Thea’s beauty, just like the girl next door, carried a touch of compassion and gentleness.

Extraordinary.

“William, you were really lucky. You had a good daughter.”

William glanced at him and said, “Hmph, but my precious daughter has also suffered from your temper, hasn't

she?”

Robert quickly apologized, “Ding ding ding, | apologize. It was my mistake to not recognize the preciousness of

my niece and mistake her for those vain girls outside. | was wrong.”

Thea tugged at William's sleeve and whispered, “Dad, don’t make things difficult for Uncle. No one is perfect,

who can be without faults?”

William pointed at Robert’s nose and jealously said, “You also had a good niece.”

Robert exclaimed with joy, “Jade is indeed sensible and well- behaved.”

After speaking, Robert suddenly sighed with melancholy, “Unfortunately, I, Robert, did not have good luck like

you, and | have no offspring to carry on my family line.”

Thea stole a glance at Thorne.

Thorne remained calm, as if he had no connection with Robert at all.

Thea had a brilliant idea, she had to do swork to bring them together.

“Uncle, it's almost lunchtime. If you don’t mind, please stay and have a meal with us. | will go and cook for you.”

Robert was extremely grateful and tearful, saying, “I have time, | have time. My niece invitedto stay, so no

matter how busy | am, | have to stay.”

Thea turned her head and asked Thorne, “Theodore, could
