Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1959

Chapter 1959 Being Dismissed

"I will get off the car and have a word with Mr. Baldwin," Luther nodded gently towards Cecelia, then opened the car door and stepped out.

Mr. Baldwin stood on the left, checking the signature page. "Mr. Warner, the will is in order. The notarization process has been applied for as per your instructions. Do you have any other orders?"

Luther pointed to the documents, "My mother and sister, I have left them enough money and shares of profits, but they cannot participate in management. Please keep this special agreement safe. It must not be known by anyone. The Warner family has some relatives overseas with scattered shares as well. If combined, it could also harm the group. So it is crucial to ensure that Joyce's control remains concentrated, this is of utmost importance."

Mr. Baldwin nodded, "Rest assured, Mr. Warner. This is the most basic professional ethics for a lawyer. I will surely keep your secret."

Luther nodded, "Good, you may go now, I have nothing else to instruct."

"Yes, Mr. Warner." Mr. Baldwin adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.

Luther sat back in the car, closing the door. "Alright, Mom, now we can go shopping."

As Luther got off the car, Cecelia glanced briefly at the contents of the will, feeling emotional. "Luther, you have thought of everything thoroughly. All considerations have been made. I am comforted to have a son-in-law like you."

Luther smiled faintly, "It's the least I can do. I owe Joyce too much, unresolved from the past. Now I cannot provide her with any assurance. This is the only thing I can do for her."

"Please don't say that, I know you were poisoned because of Joyce, you protected her, risking your life to save her."

Cecelia's voice choked, "The past is not worth mentioning. If I bring up the past, my guilt is even greater. My own daughter was right in front of me, yet I couldn't recognize her. Mistaking a thief for a daughter, inviting trouble into the house. That's how all the subsequent events unfolded, leading to misunderstandings and separations between you. I was the instigator of all this. Even now, I still blame myself. When I see you, poisoned, I feel ashamed. The secret laboratory of the warlords, it was me who established it and should have closed it long ago. It was my indecision that left hidden dangers, how can I face you? Now, I still believe that everything can turn around. The heavens will not be cruel to you. Just as after twenty-plus years of hardship, I could finally reunite with you all. You will be fine, don't give up easily."

Luther paused, "Mom, I have not given up. Everything I have done is just in case. If that day truly comes, I can face it calmly. The only thing I worry about is Joyce and the children. I fear she may be unable to move on due to self-blame. Her recent emotional lows, you must have noticed too."

Cecelia frowned, "Yes, I know."

"If..." Luther didn't finish his sentence, "I hope you can accompany her through the toughest times."

"Don't worry, I will never leave her side."

Cecelia promised, "I will always be her strongest support."

Luther nodded, finally feeling at ease.

He leaned back on the seat, his vision slightly blurry. He hadn't been driving for the past two days.

Cecelia pulled up in front of a top-notch fresh food store.

Luther followed her inside.

Cecelia carefully selected a few things, not too many. In fact, going out to buy things was a pretense, the real purpose was to avoid talking to Luther about Joyce. She marveled at Luther's thorough arrangements, while also feeling heartbroken about his life-threatening poisoning. At home, she was cautious around Joyce, not daring to show her concerns. Only by going out and clearing her mind at this moment could she find some relief.

Luther took the bag from Cecelia's hands, "Mom, let me take care of this."

Cecelia nodded.
