Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 104

Lawrence's gaze darkened.

"Margaret."

"Shut up."

Margaret rarely spoke to him like this.

Growing up, she had doted on Lawrence, but she also knew exactly where his arrogance came from.

The Langford family had given him too much.

Power, wealth, status, and everyone's constant concessions.

So he was used to people waiting for him to come around.

But some people shouldn't have to wait.

Margaret turned to Wren, her voice softening.

"I won't tell you to endure it. If you want a divorce, then get one. There's just one thing. Come back and see me when I have a bit more energy."

Wren asked, "What is it?"

Margaret glanced at Lawrence.

"It's about your mother."

Lawrence's brow twitched.

Wren's heart tightened as well.

But Margaret said no more.

She was already too exhausted, her breathing noticeably heavier.

The nurse immediately stepped forward. "Margaret needs to rest now."

Wren stood up.

"Margaret, I'll come see you next time."

Margaret nodded.

Before Wren could turn away, the older woman called out to her again.

"Wren."

Wren looked back.

Margaret looked at her, eyes filled with guilt, but also a sliver of maternal affection that had finally let go.

"Don't ever say you don't have a home."

Wren's eyes burned.

"The path your mother left for you is your home."

Wren didn't say another word.

Lawrence frowned.

Wren continued, "It's not because I'm good at finding backup."

"It's because your actions are incredibly ugly."

Lawrence's face plummeted.

Wren didn't linger any longer.

She turned and walked down the corridor.

Lawrence stood rooted to the spot, making no move to chase her.

The door to the room was left ajar.

From inside came the sound of Margaret's low coughing.

Lawrence glanced back at the door, then turned his eyes toward the direction Wren had gone.

For the first time, mixed within his fury was an inexplicable sense of panic.

He wasn't ready to admit it was regret.

He realized that Wren's departure this time wasn't just her storming off in a fit of pique. Now, she had people standing behind her.

And on the Langford side, even the grandmother who doted on him the most had told her not to look back.
