In the past life, what exactly was Lucy Wells thinking that drove her to marry that Joshua Wright?
If she hadn’t known about Lucy Wells’ later experiences, she wouldn’t have been able to stop this tragedy from happening in this lifetime.
Lucy Wells bit her lip, raised her head, her eyes red again, "Thank you, Sophie."
If it hadn’t been for Sophie Wilson, she’d really have continued down that path.
Even being with Joshua Wright always made her uncomfortable, but to leave her grandma’s house quickly, to prevent her mom from being bullied by her uncle and aunt, she truly would have married Joshua Wright.
Luckily, Sophie Wilson woke her up, freeing her from that ridiculous fantasy.
"What are you thanking me for? It’s mainly because you were willing to step out." Sophie Wilson said with a smile, picking up a custard bun for Lucy Wells, "Have some sweets, it’ll lift your mood."
"Okay." Lucy Wells took a bite, and the smooth sweetness slid down her throat, reaching her heart, overshadowing the bitterness of many days and making her feel much better.
After lunch, Sophie Wilson took Lucy Wells home.
Charles Seymour was waiting in the car, not following them upstairs.
After Sophie Wilson escorted Lucy Wells upstairs, she felt something was off the moment she entered.
"Oh, the big hero of our family is finally back. What skills you have, breaking up with Joshua Wright just like that, impressive indeed."
Daisy Lewis’s sarcastic tone made Lucy Wells extremely uncomfortable, but she remembered what Sophie Wilson had said, that to make her mother happy, she must first be strong herself. Constant compromise only led others to think they could bully her and her mom.
Suppressing her usual timidity, Lucy Wells spoke up, "Aunt, Joshua Wright and I aren’t suitable."
Ordinarily, Lucy Wells wouldn’t dare say anything back, but now she dared to speak to her , which immediately infuriated Daisy Lewis, "Oh ho, not suitable? What kind do you want? Joshua Wright is a top student, and now his monthly income is four thousand. How much do you make a month?"
"He’s got looks, he’s got money, what more do you want? A prince or a millionaire?" Daisy Lewis’s words were too much for Lucy Wells’ mother to endure.
"Sister-in-law, Lucy can choose someone she likes, as long as she’s happy, it’s fine."
"It’s not like I’m saying this lightly, can you really let her go wherever she wants? If you do, won’t she end up like you?" Not speaking was one thing, but Lucy Wells’ mother’s reply gave Daisy Lewis the perfect chance to mock.
"What does how I am have to do with you?" Lucy Wells’ mother became anxious upon hearing this. She wasn’t meek, having raised Lucy Wells on her own, she retorted sharply, "Who are you to boss me around here?"
"Second daughter-in-law, if you have nothing going on, just leave." Lucy Wells’ grandma spoke up too. She very much disliked Daisy Lewis and understood her intentions too well, fearing that she would leave the house to her own daughter.
"Well, I was just being kind, how did I become a villain?" Instantly realizing she wasn’t gaining anything, Daisy Lewis directed her anger towards Sophie Wilson, "Were you the one who instigated Lucy Wells to break up with her boyfriend? What are your intentions? Are you just unable to see my family’s Lucy happy or what?"
