Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me

Chapter 677: Chapter 669: The Truth

Shirley Lockwood’s twisted logic nearly made Leo Joyce spit blood. "This place is off-limits to minors. Rory, if you want to come to a place like this, you’ll have to wait another ten years."

Hearing Leo Joyce’s words, Shirley Lockwood recalled the heavily made-up, scantily-clad women she’d seen when she arrived that afternoon. "That’s not happening. If I wait ten years, the little vixens here will have snatched you away by then. So, to be safe, I’m going to guard you well, my husband. And you—don’t even think you can dump me just because I’m young."

Annoyed, Leo Joyce shot a glare at Archie Lockwood, who was feigning innocence off to the side. "Archie Lockwood! Get your daughter under control! I suggest you take her and leave this place immediately."

Archie Lockwood stepped closer to Leo Joyce and deliberately lowered his voice. "Leo, it’s not that I wanted to come here. It’s just... my travel schedule seems to have been leaked by a certain someone. I had nowhere else to stay, so I was forced to come to you."

At those words, Leo Joyce remembered that he *had* indeed leaked Archie Lockwood’s itinerary before returning to the country. He couldn’t hold it in any longer and cursed, "Fuck!"

"Ahem, don’t curse in front of my daughter. You’ll be a bad influence on the little one," Archie Lockwood warned, rubbing his nose in embarrassment.

What Shirley Lockwood hated most was hearing someone call her a "little kid" in front of Leo Joyce. So, she corrected him with a warning of her own. "Dad, let me declare once again, I am not a little kid anymore. I’m all grown up. Therefore, my husband can speak however he pleases."

"—" Archie Lockwood’s handsome face darkened with displeasure. He shot a look at his daughter for siding with an outsider.

’A grown daughter can’t be kept at home!’ The saying was absolutely right.

The elevator doors opened. Leo Joyce walked out, and Shirley Lockwood followed close behind, urgently tugging on his sleeve. "Husband, I heard you’re incredibly well-connected here and that there’s nothing you don’t know. Can you help me find someone?"

"—" Leo Joyce stopped in his tracks, frowning as he looked back at Archie Lockwood.

Archie Lockwood hadn’t expected his daughter to suddenly ask Leo Joyce for help. With a hint of irritation, he said in a cold voice, "Rory, Leo is very busy. Don’t trouble him with things like this."

But at his words, Shirley Lockwood spun around angrily and yelled at him, "If I don’t trouble him, who should I trouble? Dad, if you were willing to help me look for her, do you think I still wouldn’t have found my mom?"

Archie Lockwood’s face turned frigid. In a harsh voice, he said, "Rory, it was your mother who didn’t want you. It’s not that I won’t help you find her."

"I don’t believe you!" ’Her memories were blurry, but she knew her mother loved her very much, always holding her tight and cooing softly in her ear.’

’Her mother was so wonderful; how could she ever bear to abandon her?’

’It must have been her dad. He was too domineering and bullied people too much, so her mom must have been scared off by him.’

’Just like all those women who tried to hit on her dad—every single one of them was eventually scared away by his stone-cold face.’

"It’s the truth, whether you believe it or not! You’re returning to Country M with me tomorrow morning."

"I’m not going back. Unless I find my mother, I’m not going back to Country M with you." She had gone through so much trouble to get here; she refused to leave without finding her mother.

’She knew that if she really left with her dad this time, she would never get another chance to run away and come back.’
