My Dreamy Old Husband

Nevertheless, Lucy did not respond to their insults. It seemed as if her kneecaps were stuck to the ground. She had her head bowed, and her shock of maroon hair that was soaked through laid matted against her forehead.

She had stopped seeing and hearing her surroundings because the anger deep down in her heart was the only thing fueling her to live on.

I am betting my life on this! I am betting that Jordan wouldn’t have the heart to let me die for real!

Seeing as Lucy refused to answer him, Ryan kicked her suddenly, causing her to topple to the ground. She was already at the brink of her limit for the longest time, but she had been enduring it with the last breath she had. Now that Ryan had kicked her down, Lucy simply did not have the strength to support herself. In the end, she slumped onto the ground, motionless.

However, Ryan was still unsatisfied, so he approached her to kick her a few more times. “Wake up! Stop playing dead. Even if you die, our father will not even pay any attention to you.”

His rain boot with a thick sole trampled on Lucy’s soft and fragile body; one could almost hear her bones cracking and breaking. Nevertheless, Lucy refused to make a sound—maybe she no longer had the energy to utter anything.

Nobody in the Edwards Residence had the courage to say anything while they watched the two of them beating Lucy up at the main entrance. In reality, the elders of the Edwards Family were all sitting in the living room, and that included Jordan too.

The large living room was so quiet one could hear a pin drip, whereas all the elders were gazing at each other in speechless despair. The atmosphere was especially depressing, and everybody turned to look at Jordan, who had a dark and eerie expression.

They started having second thoughts ever since Lucy started kneeling at the entrance.

In all honesty, it wasn’t a huge issue that Lucy was a lesbian because there were plenty of dirty secrets within rich and powerful families. Many people posed as characters with high morals on the surface, but some men might start fooling around with other men after getting bored with women. When they got bored with men, some of them might even get involved with dogs.

In reality, the Edwards were furious that Lucy had lied to them. They were also angry that she hadn’t gotten married for more than a decade because of a woman. Besides, since the embarrassing family news had been exposed to the public, they had no choice but to make their stand by chasing Lucy out of the house.

As long as she returned and admitted her mistakes, Lucy just had to get married with a man with the right social status to bring benefits to the family. Everything would be okay as long as she stayed as a passable Miss Edwards.
