“No! I waited for Lucian for six years. Why should I cancel our engagement?” Aubree protested with teary eyes, making sure to look at Lucian pitifully after speaking.
Lucian frowned again when he met her eyes.
If this were a typical day, he would surely make things clear with the Pearson family.
However, he couldn't do so now since they got into such a big argument because of the matter.
Meanwhile, Samuel's anger barely dissipated when he heard Aubree's words. He slammed the table furiously and yelled, “If you don't cancel it, get out of this house! Don't come back until you come back to your senses. Get out!”
Following that, Samuel strode out of the study with a steely face. As he passed by Lucian, he gave the latter a nod.
With knitted brows, Lucian watched Samuel leave. In the study, Aubree continued to sob.
Gina looked at her husband and then at her daughter. Feeling lost about who she should persuade first, she turned to Lucian in the end. “Lucian, uh... I don't think Samuel will calm down anytime soon. Could you bring Aubree to your place for a couple of days?”
As if worried that Lucian would not agree, she added carefully, “I know you also have something to say about the engagement. After Samuel calms down, we'll have a talk. Don't worry. Aubree will not make trouble.”
Aubree remained silent, still sniffling.
Never in Lucian's dreams did he expect to find himself in such a situation.
Upon hearing Gina mention the engagement, he contemplated for a while and finally agreed. “I got it.”
Afterward, he looked at Aubree. “Come with me.”
Aubree and Gina were elated to see him give in so soon, but they forced themselves to remain calm.
