Chapter 288


    Chapter 288 I Waited For Years


    After learning that it was Roxanne who had found Este, Sonya stopped reprimanding her. She


    focused on consoling Este, who was still crying in her arms.


    A whileter, Este exhausted her energy and finally stopped crying.


    “Good girl, Essie.” Sonya patted her back. “Ms. Pearson adores you. She identally angered you, so


    can you forgive her?”


    Hearing Aubree’s name, Este scrunched up her brow and turned around. She stretched her hands


    toward Lucian.


    Lucian picked her up and answered on her behalf, “Essie refuses to forgive her. Even if Essie does


    forgive her, I will never forgive her!”


    With that said, Lucian red at Aubree. “This has dragged on for long enough. I shall make myself


    clear once again. I will never marry you. From today onward, we no longer have anything to do with


    each other. You have no reason to show up before Essie anymore!”


    His words stunned everyone else.


    It took Sonya a few seconds to regain herposure. She grabbed Lucian’s arm and demanded,


    “Lucian, do you know what you’re talking about? News about your engagement has been released.


    How are we going to face the public if you refuse to marry Aubree?”


    Without batting an eyelid, Lucian responded, “That has nothing to do with me. It was you who released


    the news without seeking my agreement. I’ve stated my disapproval, but you insisted on doing so.”


    Sonya’s face turned ugly. Lucian had obviously made up his mind.


    She knew what her son wanted but had always assumed she had control over him.


    s, she forgot he was all grown up now. In fact, he was in charge of Farwell Group now.


    He was obedient all the while only because he wanted to be a filial son to her.


    “But…” Sonya trailed off beforeing up with another excuse. “But we agreed to your marriage to


    repay Old Mr. Pearson’s favor. How are you going to exin to him if you want to call it off?”


    Lucian furrowed his brows. “We’ve repaid the Pearson family’s favor by giving them what they wanted


    all these years. That’s enough. Farwell Group will still help the Pearson family in the corporate world as


    long as they don’t break thew.”


    Aubree gaped in disbelief.


    It was pretty clear that Lucian hade up with that n a long time ago.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    When did he start scheming? Was it after he rejected me previously? Or did he start after that b*tch


    Roxanne came back?


    She was panicking when Lucian nced at her, his face devoid of expression. “Ms. Pearson, please


    leave my house if you have nothing else to say.”


    Aubree froze in shock. She promptly apologized, “Lucian, I was wrong. I know my mistake now. I


    promise I’ll give Essie what she wants. It won’t happen again. Please don’t be mad at me!”


    Nevertheless, Lucian ignored her pleas.


    Aubree’s heart sank in dejection. She tried to grab his sleeves, but he avoided her grasp.


    “I’ve waited for you many years, Lucian…” Aubree’s hands froze midair. “I’ll change. I promise I will.


    Please don’t do this to me!”


    As Lucian remained silent, she shot Sonya a beseeching look.


    Sonya shook her head grimly. “You should head back home for now.”


    Lucian didn’t show any signs of fury, but she knew that was precisely the sign he was smoking with


    anger.


    Besides, it seemed that he had thought about it thoroughly before informing them of his decision.


    It was useless to say anything now, so she wanted to wait until he calmed down.
