Janice turned to leave.
"Lucy, I ain't going back. I'll watch the store for you."
Janice walked away as she spoke.
She didn't want to face her husband.
Even less so, those who had once hurt her.
To be honest, she hadn't even figured out how to deal with her husband.
That night, when Lucy asked her what her father was like, she was silent for a long time. By the time she wanted to answer, Lucy had already fallen asleep.
There was no denying that before Lucy went missing, he was the best man in the world to her, a good husband.
After Lucy went missing, at first, he was out every day with people looking for Lucy, leaving her alone without comfort. Janice didn't blame him for this.
Elisa stole her daughter, she would blame him if he did nothing.
While he was out looking for their daughter, she was at home alone, facing the family's blame.
She put up with these, and she didn't blame him.
What pissed off Janice was the time when she lost her sanity.
Even though she lost her sanity, it didn't mean she lost her memory.
Now that she was sober and looking back, Janice harbored resentment against her husband.
As a husband, he failed to protect his wife and child and later had a close relationship with Madeleine Porter. He could have divorced her because she lost her sanity and couldn't accompany him to various activities. She was willing to let him be with Madeleine.
But he didn't.
Did he know that keeping her as the wife of the head of the Blue family would only make Madeleine want to kill her more?
Not only that, but even their child was not safe.
All in all, Janice couldn't forgive her husband or face him; they could only divorce.
Her daughter was found, her son-in-law was good, and Janice was already satisfied.
Whoever wanted the position of the wife of the head of the Blue family can take it; she didn't care.
"Janice."
Nathan instinctively chased after her.
"Nathan, if you dare to follow me in, don't blame me for chasing you out with a broom!"
Janice suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Nathan coldly, warning him.
Nathan stopped. The deep hatred in his wife's eyes was like lead, making his legs heavy and unable to take a step.
"Fiona, Cecilia, gal, let's go inside."
After preventing Nathan, Janice told Fiona, Cecilia, and the waitress, indicating them to follow her in.
Except for the waitress, Cecilia and Fiona knew that Janice had a brutal past, and the person responsible for this was Nathan.
Nathan's grandstanding today to recognize and protect his daughter can't erase his past negligence, nor can it erase the fact that he betrayed his marriage.
Cecilia pulled the waitress and followed Janice into the shop.
Fiona told Lucinda, "Lucy, you and Stefan take them back to Ascend Estate first. I'll keep an eye on your mom."
"Mom, I'm worried, I'll go in first."
Lucinda couldn't leave at this time, and she went into the shop with her foster mother.
"Lucy."
Nathan said in a low voice to Lucinda, "Tell your mom, no matter what happens, I won't divorce her!"
