the future.”
After all, the woman he dreamed of marrying more than anyone else didn’t feel the same way.
“Let’s get back to you–when are you going to divorce Shane?” Lucius asked. Staying with Shane would only lead to her downfall, yet Marie remained blinded to the looming danger.

Lucius appeared stunned, and the look in his eyes changed noticeably. Despite his calm appearance, he stumbled over his
words. “Y–You’re divorced?”
“Indeed. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to your ridiculous proposal. So, tell me, are you seriously intending to use Taylor against me?” Marie inquired, staring at Lucius with a clear
gaze.

With downcast eyes, Marie replied, “I’ve forgotten a lot of things since I got sick. When I came to Hawford, I tried to recover my lost memories; not the ones others shared with me.
“Since you’ve made a request, I’ll do the same. You claim our grandfathers were close friends, but why didn’t the Whitmans. hear about this?”
