Roxanne felt a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing Sonya’s words. She found Sonya’s actions hilarious when she suddenly thought about how similar the latter’s words sounded to those TV dramas and novels.
Unaware of it, Sonya continued, “Six years ago, you were the one who decided to leave Lucian. No one forced you to do so. Do you think the Farwell residence is somewhere you can come and go as you please?”
Roxanne tried to suppress her emotions and thoughts when Sonya brought up what had happened six years ago. “You’ve got the wrong idea. It’s not something I can decide on my own, whether it was my leaving six years ago or how far I have progressed with Lucian now.”
Sonya didn’t expect Roxanne’s retort, and she grew displeased. Roxanne continued to state matter-of-factly, “Even though you guys were aware of Lucian’s feelings for Aubree six years ago, you forced me to stand in the way of their relationship because your family needed a joyous event to bring Lucian’s grandfather good luck. I had no choice but to leave after suffering from Lucian’s cold treatment for three years.”
She was admitting that the reason for her leaving six years ago was because of the Farwell family. This was what Roxanne had always believed in. Except for the infant girl who passed away, she didn’t feel sorry for anyone for leaving six years ago.
“I was crestfallen when I left six years ago. I only came back for work. It wasn’t my intention to progress so far with my relationship with Lucian.” Roxanne stared at Sonya. “If you can’t accept me, you should tell Lucian. I have no say in this.”
Sonya was angered by her words. “Lucian was with Aubree for six years. You ruined their relationship, yet you don’t feel an ounce of guilt. Instead, you’re blaming the Farwell family? If you didn’t wish for this to happen, why did you come back? Why must you come back to Horington to work? Can’t you find a job anywhere else?”
She was being unreasonable. Roxanne frowned, but she remained calm as she retorted, “This is not up to me either. You can go and ask my professor.”
Sonya widened her eyes in anger. “I don’t care what you’re trying to achieve here! You listen very carefully. As long as I’m alive, I’ll never let you become a part of the Farwell family! Also, Lucian is my son! I know him best.
You didn’t even get him to fall in love with you for three years. Why do you think he will like you after six years? Besides, you have two illegitimate children!” No matter what Sonya said, Roxanne remained calm and indifferent, as if she wasn’t taking. Sonya’s words seriously.
However, she wouldn’t allow Sonya to talk about Archie and Benny like that. Her expression darkened instantly. “Mrs. Farwell, please consider your age. What’s the point of dragging two children around when you’re settling adult matters between us adults?
You keep saying that you’re thinking of the reputation of the Farwell family, but don’t you think you have disgraced the family by saying that about two innocent children?” Sonya noticed Roxanne’s change in expression and felt pleased.
She continued to provoke her, “Did I say anything wrong? How old are the two children? I think they’re about five to six years old. Your gave birth to them for another man after leaving the Farwell family for less than a year.
You said you love Lucian! I think you only love his wealth! Now that you’re back in the country, you behave as if Lucian did you wrong. Do you think you can trick me?”
