His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 2013

Chapter 2013 Sincerity

The next morning, a row of luxury cars lined up in the Sheffield family mansion's courtyard.

Norton was in the living room, receiving the Cheever family's father and son duo.

Jensen Cheever had a bright smile on his face, chatting and laughing with Norton. His son, Wilmer

Cheever, sat quietly beside them. He was a good-looking young man exuding an elegant aura.

“Mr. Cheever, Madilyn should be back in a day or two. We'll arrange for her to meet with Mr. Wilmer

then, so the youngsters can get to know each other better,” Norton chirped.

Jensen nodded and echoed, “I heard Ms. Madilyn is already a hospital director. It is remarkable that

she has achieved so much at such a young age. I feel that my son may be inadequate to be a match

for her. Hahaha.”

“Hahaha! Mr. Cheever, you must be joking. That's not true at all! He's definitely good enough for my

daughter! Mr. Wilmer is truly a talented young man, helping Cheever Group secure two major projects

at such a young age. With such achievements, he stands out among his peers even across the nation!”

After exchanging words of flattery, Norton stood up to see the guests off.

When the living room quieted down, he turned and went upstairs, pushing open the guest room door.

At that moment, Mildred was still trying her best to persuade Lorraine. “All the grudges and grievances

are in the past. We're also of advanced age now. I know that you've harbored hatred all your life. But

now that you're getting old, you should think more about your daughter's future.”

Noticing Norton entering the room, Mildred shot an angry look at him.

Lorraine remained indifferent regardless of how they tried to persuade her. Now, she even stubbornly

refused to talk and was reluctant to nod in agreement.

However, in order to finalize that marriage of convenience, Lorraine had to attend the ceremony.

Jensen and Wilmer had stated they would respect Madilyn and her mother's opinion.

Norton waved his hand at Mildred, signaling her to leave the room and let him converse with Lorraine.

The expression in Mildred's eyes darkened, and she gave Lorraine's back a fierce glare before leaving.

“Norton, there's no need to waste your breath. You cannot arrange Madilyn's marriage as you please.

Besides, you never treated her like your biological daughter. Over the years, you've neglected her, not

even providing her with basic child support. Don't you have any shame?” Lorraine shifted her gaze

from the windowsill and stared angrily at Norton.

“Lorraine, I understand that I've wronged you in this lifetime. That's why—”

Norton began to defend himself but was immediately interrupted by Lorraine, “That's enough. Are you

sure that's how you feel? You've been perfectly content all this while. I've come to understand

everything after all that I've been through. I admit I've been foolish for falling for your deceit in the past.

There's no such thing as love in your eyes. You only care about your personal gains.”

Norton was stumped.

His expression stiffened, and he furrowed his brows in fury.

“Lorraine, let's not talk about feelings and discuss benefits. As long as you can get Madilyn to agree to

marry the Cheever family's scion, I promise to compensate you and your daughter with several

properties and a company. This way, you can also secure a foothold in Xandenia in the future. This

should be sufficient to prove my sincerity, right? No matter how hard Madilyn works in Horington, she'll

always just be working for others!” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Lorraine was dumbfounded. Indeed, this man is forever only concerned about interests, assuming

everyone in the world can be bribed.

A bitter smile spread across her face as she regarded him with an expression as if she no longer

recognized him. Any previously lingering fantasies in her mind and feelings in her heart were shattered

at that instant.
