CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 048 OPPORTUNITY

A warm embrace provided her with the most solid shield, just like his silent devotion in her previous life.

Sophie Wilson sighed lightly, suppressing the bitterness in her nose; otherwise, she feared she might cry right then and there.

Luckily, they have a lifetime to slowly spend together.

"Lucy, what’s wrong with you?" As soon as Sophie squeezed in, she saw Lucy Wells in the crowd, head drooped, face ashenly pale, and tears streaming continuously.

Upon hearing the voice, Lucy looked up and immediately dashed into Sophie’s embrace as if she had found a family member.

"What happened?" Sophie held Lucy tightly.

"Still crying? Did I say something wrong to you?" Joshua Wright got even angrier upon seeing someone protecting Lucy.

Sophie completely ignored Joshua Wright; she knew him well. He was Lucy’s husband in the previous life, the main culprit who ruined her entire life.

"Lucy, what’s the matter?" Sophie asked. She wanted to help Lucy, but if Lucy had no determination to break away from him, no matter how hard Sophie tried, it would be useless.

"I wanted to buy a jar of cream, but he wouldn’t let me." Lucy said aggrievedly, "I wanted to use my own money..."

"You think you can waste your money like that?" Just as Lucy finished speaking, Joshua scolded: "Why buy cream? Why are you so pretentious? My mom never used that stuff in her entire life—why do you have to? With that money, wouldn’t it be better to do something useful? Getting a house and bringing my parents over is the proper thing to do!"

Sophie couldn’t help but smile angrily upon hearing that.

How much could the most expensive cream sold in the supermarket cost?

Around a hundred, maybe.

And just because of that, he publicly scolded Lucy to tears—is that even human?

"Your mom never used it because your dad was incompetent and couldn’t afford it!" Sophie shot back immediately.

"Who are you?" Joshua Wright glared at Sophie in anger, "It’s between me and my girlfriend—not your place to step in!"

"How could someone who doesn’t even protect his girlfriend dare to call himself her boyfriend? Have some decency and stop embarrassing men!" Sophie mocked Joshua, whose face changed dramatically as he stepped forward to grab Sophie.

Did Joshua see Charles Seymour as dead?

With a darkened expression, Charles stepped forward, his intimidating presence forcing Joshua to stop in his tracks, unable to move even an inch forward.

"Bringing your parents over is your business—what does it have to do with Lucy?" Sophie’s question enraged Joshua, "She’s my girlfriend!"

"What if she’s not anymore?" Sophie smirked coldly and then asked Lucy, "Lucy, do you still want a boyfriend who disregards your feelings?"

"Even if you marry someone like that, you won’t be happy. If you’re unhappy, can your mom rest assured and feel at ease?"

Sophie’s words directly touched Lucy’s heart. Lucy wanted to marry early to reassure her mom, but if doing so only made her mother worry even more...

"Joshua Wright, let’s break up!" Lucy bit her lip and said with a heavy nasal tone.

As soon as she spoke those words, the stone weighing heavily on her heart miraculously disappeared, making her feel completely relieved.

"Lucy Wells, are you sure? If you break up with me, where will you find a man as good as me?" Joshua sneered arrogantly, "I’ll give you a chance to reconsider—if you miss this chance, even if you beg me later, I won’t agree."
