The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115

Lucille lay on the bed, looking up at him. The faint sorrow in her eyes had vanished, replaced by a sincere smile. “May you live happily ever after. Together forever.”

Lock them together forever!

Cedrick froze.

“Lucille?”

Only after a long pause did he tentatively call her name, as if testing the authenticity of her words.

Lucille smiled softly. “It’s late. I’m going to sleep.“.

Go on, keep reminiscing about your precious light.

“Lucille, wait. Not yet.”

He wasn’t giving up.

Lucille had already turned her back to him, but his voice persisted.

“Lucille, we’ve known each other for twelve years. For the sake of those moments of mutual respect we once shared… could you agree to drop the case?”

His tone was pleading.

This proud man was begging for Maricela’s sake–even offering their twelve–year history as a bargaining chip.

No matter how much she told herself to let go, bitterness welled up uncontrollably in Lucille’s heart. “Cedrick, are you bargaining with me? If I agree this once, will our twelve years of debts and grudges just vanish?”

Cedrick remained silent for a long time.

Waking the next morning, she felt significantly better. Though her body still ached with every movement, the pain was bearable now.

She decided to visit the holistic health clinic for Acupuncture Therapy and rehabilitation. Afterward, she’d return to her grandmother’s house.

So, as she finished breakfast and was packing things to take back, someone entered–walking straight in without knocking.

At that moment, Mylee was tidying up. Only one person would enter like that: Cedrick.

Assuming it was him, Lucille didn’t even glance back. Until a voice sounded behind her: “Lucille.”

Maricela.

Maricela actually knew the door code!

She could just walk in like this!

A flash of anger surged through Lucille, but she swallowed it almost instantly.

Forget it. I’m planning to sell this place anyway. Not worth getting angry over. Anger is useless–it only hurts myself.

Turning around, Lucille saw Maricela standing in the living room. Mylee watched Lucille anxiously from the side, as if saying, I don’t know how she got in.

Lucille nodded, signaling to Mylee that it was fine.

Maricela had come here secretly, behind Cedrick’s back. Her intentions couldn’t be good. Understanding Lucille’s look, Mylee retreated to the side.

Maricela stood at the center of the living room, her gaze filled with hostility, yet she remained silent.

Lucille had no obligation to entertain her. She finished packing her things and prepared to leave.
