Chapter 124 – The Abandoned Wife: Leaving the Country After Divorce Novel

Filed to story: Leaving the Country After Divorce Novel (Lucian & Roxanne)

When Estella saw Roxanne, there would be no way that she would let the latter leave so easily as well.

Since the situation was out of the norm that day, the only reason for it would be that Roxanne saw the news.

So is she avoiding me because she saw the news?

Thinking of that, Lucian felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure deep down.

Throughout the entire journey, the atmosphere in the car was depressing.

Once they reached home, they saw that there was someone sitting in the living room. At that, Lucian couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly. “Mom, what are you doing here?”

After Sonya left the café in the afternoon, she initially wanted to find Lucian for a chat at his office. But after giving it some thought, she decided not to interrupt him at work and headed to the manor to wait for him to come back.

She waited for an entire afternoon but never had she expected that he would have such an attitude the moment he stepped in.

Sonya, who was initially displeased, became even more upset. “What’s wrong? Do you mean that I can’t come over? Do you wish that I don’t ever come here again so that you can hide things from us and marry Roxanne?”

Upon hearing that, Lucian’s expression turned dark, and he instructed Catalina, “Bring Essie upstairs.”

Noticing the tension building up between the two, Catalina didn’t dare to waste a single second and hurriedly brought Estella upstairs.

However, Estella slowly trudged up the stairs. Just now, I think I heard Grandma mention Ms. Jarvis. Is Daddy going to marry Ms. Jarvis? But the news clearly said that Daddy was getting married to Ms. Pearson…

Estella was slightly puzzled, but she felt that if Lucian was going to marry Roxanne, it would be a dream come true.

Meanwhile, Lucian remained expressionless as he sat down on the single couch opposite Sonya.

“What’s with the news today? Aren’t you going to explain it to me?” Sonya questioned him coldly as she suppressed her anger.

As soon as she said that, she saw Lucian looking up and meeting her gaze coldly.

Their eyes met, and Sonya felt an oppressive aura surrounding her, causing her to restrain her rage.

There was a hint of mockery in Lucian’s voice as he refuted, “Did you not give me an explanation as to why the news of my marriage with Aubree got out as well? Besides, you didn’t even ask for my opinion.”

He had always known that Sonya wanted him to be with Aubree. However, never would he expect that she would resort to such harsh means.

After the news of it got out, Lucian knew that he could no longer remain silent.

Sonya felt a lump in her throat, and her expression changed. Although she felt rather guilty deep down, she still replied stubbornly, “It has already been so many years since your marriage contract with Aubree. The two of you were going to be together sooner or later. I’m just announcing it for you ahead of time. Besides, you humiliated Aubree at Old Mr. Queen’s birthday celebration previously, and we ought to make it up to her.”

Hearing Sonya’s words, Lucian pursed his lips mockingly. “If I don’t intend on doing so, then how do you plan on settling Aubree?”

A glint of shock flashed across Sonya’s eyes before it soon turned into rage. “What are you saying? How many years has Aubree waited for you? How much has she sacrificed for you? Now you’re telling me that you don’t have such intentions? The marriage contract between our two families has been circulating for so many years. Have you ever thought of how others would view us if we call it off?”

Lucian coldly questioned her back, “Why do you think I haven’t provided any response to this throughout the six years? I already told you that I don’t need you to interfere in this. I will settle it myself!”

In other words, he was certain that he never intended on fulfilling the marriage contract with Aubree.

Having understood his intentions, Sonya’s expression changed slightly.

She had heard the Pearson family mention this before that Lucian personally told Aubree about his decision.

Back then, she was full of doubts and thought that with Lucian’s personality, he wouldn’t let the marriage contract exist for so long if he didn’t have the intentions of marrying Aubree.

But now, she was personally hearing those words from Lucian.

Sonya clenched the armrest of the couch tightly, her face turned dark. “If you don’t plan on fulfilling the marriage contract with Aubree, then what are you planning to do? Are you going to marry Roxanne into our family again? I think you must have forgotten what she did back then!”

At the mention of Roxanne, Lucian knitted his brows again but didn’t respond.

“Back then, you would have been with Aubree long ago if it weren’t for her! Our family wouldn’t have been treated as such a joke as well! She left without saying goodbye, but leaving behind a divorce agreement, and even abandoned Estella, causing such a young child to be sent back to the country. She even turned our family upside down. I will never allow a woman like her to ever step foot into our family again!”

At the thought of Roxanne, Sonya felt her blood boil. She slammed the armrest on the couch forcefully. “I don’t care about what you think now. If you want to marry Aubree, fine. If you don’t, then so be it! Anyway, I’ve already spread the news of your marriage with Aubree. The Farwell family will never go back on our word. Your marriage with Aubree is set!”

With that, she didn’t give Lucian the opportunity to refute and glanced at Estella’s room upstairs, continuing in a softer tone, “After Aubree hit Essie last time, she hadn’t had the chance to properly apologize to Essie. I’ll arrange for them to spend more time with each other during this period to improve their relationship. Essie has to accept Aubree as her mother eventually.”

Seeing how obstinate his mother was, Lucian furrowed his brows.

After all, it was his marriage, but they had already reached the stage of discussing the engagement ceremony before he could even give his opinions.

Sonya was even willing to forgive Aubree after her beloved granddaughter was hit.

He didn’t know how much Aubree was involved in the whole fiesta.

Seeing that he remained silent, Sonya took it that he was agreeing to it, and her anger dissipated. “Also, the woman in the picture on the news today is Roxanne, right?”

Lucian remained silent.

“I’ll just take it that the news today was an accident. The news of your marriage with Aubree has already spread. I don’t care what you think, but you’d better keep a distance from Roxanne. Be more mindful of how your actions can impact the two families.”

Seeming to remember something, Sonya frowned, adding, “And get that woman to keep to herself. I don’t wish for there to be a repeat of the news today! The woman in the picture can only be Aubree!”
