Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open, and several men in black rushed in.

When Delia saw they were Emerald's subordinates, she immediately set her wine glass down, her face contorting in a grimace. "What are you doing here?!"

Seeing the group, Andre looked surprised for a moment before raising an eyebrow. He swirled his wine glass without saying a word.

The leader stepped forward, bowing slightly before addressing Delia. "Ms. Nixon, Madam sent us to bring you back to the estate."

Delia's expression changed, panic and fear filling her eyes. The moment those men entered, she had a sinking feeling, and now it was confirmed.

Emerald had forbidden her from associating with Andre, and now that Delia was sneaking around with him, her mother must be furious. She could already imagine the anger awaiting her return to the estate.

Grounding her teeth, Delia stubbornly said, "I'm not going back!"

The men in black exchanged a glance before one spoke slowly. "Madam said if

you refuse to return, we will bring Mr. Quinnett along with us."

"What?!" Delia's eyes widened in shock and anger. Emerald was clearly threatening her!

She took a deep breath and stood up. "Fine, I'll go back with you."

The man lowered his head. "Ms. Nixon, this way."

Delia glanced at Andre. "We'll meet again next time."noveldrama

Andre raised an eyebrow, understanding that it wouldn't be easy for him to see Delia anytime soon.

Still, he smiled and replied, "Alright, Ms. Nixon. See you again. I had a great time tonight. I hope you did too."

Delia's cheeks flushed, and she nervously avoided his gaze. "I did too."

After Delia and the men in black left, Andre downed the rest of his wine, his expression turning cold. He stood up and left the room.

On the way back to the estate, Delia's mind raced with various scenarios of how she might apologize to Emerald.

However, when she entered the living room and saw Emerald sitting on the sofa with a cold expression, the pressure from her presence almost took her breath away.

Clenching her teeth, Delia slowly walked toward Emerald. "Mom—" "Tell me, Delia, what did I tell you before?" Emerald asked.

Knowing her mother was referring to Andre, Delia bit her lip and lowered her gaze. "Mom, I really like him. don'Dwant to marry anyone else. I to marry him."

Emerald sneered. "What kind of spell has he put on you?"

Delia looked up at her. "Mom, I may only love one person in my life, and Andre is the one I love. If I can't be with him, then I'll never marry anyone else."

Emerald's eyes darkened.

"I think you've lost your mind! From now on, unless I say so, you're not allowed to leave the estate.

"If you care about Andre and his family, you'll listen to me. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make him suffer," she threatened.

"Don't you dare!" Delia snarled. "I warn you don't touch Andre, or I'll disown you as my mother!"

Emerald could hardly believe her ears. Her daughter, whom she had raised, was actually willing to sever ties with her for a man.

She looked at Delia, her eyes filled with disappointment. "Fine. Since you want to be with him, I'll let you From today on, I won't control your actions. If you want to see him, you can go anytime. But I won't give you another penny."
