Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me

Chapter 678: Chapter 670: Looking for Mom

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth! Don’t say another word. You’re coming back with me tomorrow! If you dare say another word, we’re leaving right now!" Archie Lockwood’s tone was unyielding, leaving Shirley Lockwood no room to object.

As far as he was concerned, Rory was his only daughter. Seeing how determined she was to find her mother, he was terrified that if she succeeded, she wouldn’t want him anymore.

If he lost Rory, he would truly have nothing left.

This was the first time her dad had ever yelled at her so harshly. Feeling scared and hurt, Shirley Lockwood couldn’t help but burst into tears. "SOB... Daddy... why won’t you let me look for Mommy...?"

As soon as Shirley Lockwood started crying, Archie Lockwood’s tone softened. He walked over and pulled Rory into his arms, saying in a low voice, "Rory, isn’t it nice being with Daddy? Why are you so determined to find your mother? Daddy has already told you, she doesn’t deserve to be your mother. She was the one who abandoned you."

"SOB SOB... I don’t believe you... You must be lying to me... I don’t believe you..."

"Rory, be a good girl. Don’t cry. When we get back to Country M, Daddy will give you anything you want. Even if you really want a mommy, Daddy will find a suitable one for you." In Archie Lockwood’s view, it was normal for a child to want a mother, so if he had no other choice, he would try to find a woman worthy of being Rory’s mother.

’Of course, one thing was certain: this woman would absolutely not be *her*—that heartless woman.’

’It’s been almost six years. If that woman had even a shred of conscience, she would have come looking for them. But she hadn’t. Not even once...’

’Without Jason Lockwood in the picture, that woman would absolutely never come looking for him on her own.’

’The relationship between them was nothing more than one of mutual interest and betrayal.’

’So, over all these years, even though many women had thrown themselves at him, he’d never felt the slightest interest. He knew they were only after his money, and he didn’t want to experience being deceived, used, and betrayed all over again...’

’A suitable mommy?’ Shirley Lockwood’s small shoulders trembled, and her sobs slowly quieted. She choked out anxiously, "I don’t want *a* mommy, I want *my* mommy!" ’It had to be her real mommy. No matter how "suitable" someone else was, she didn’t want them.’

Archie Lockwood knelt, gripping Shirley Lockwood’s arms tightly. His eyes were red with anger. "How many times do I have to tell you? That woman doesn’t deserve to be your mother! You don’t have a mother!"

"You’re lying! You’re lying!" Shirley Lockwood shrieked, terrified. She struggled with all her might, crying, "I have a mommy, I do!! I remember! I remember!!!"

"You don’t!"

"I do! I hate you, I hate you! You’re always lying to me! You never let me find my mommy! I hate you!!"

The words "I hate you" struck the most vulnerable part of Archie Lockwood’s heart. He grew anxious and agitated. "You can’t hate me," he pleaded. "No one in this world loves you more than I do. No one treats you better."

"If you’re so good to me, then give me my mommy back."

Archie fell silent. He could give Rory anything! But a mother... that was the one thing he couldn’t give her.

For the first time, Archie Lockwood felt an emotional exhaustion like never before...

This feeling was more exhausting than when he’d first arrived in Country M, building his company from the ground up while raising Rory all on his own.

Seeing Archie Lockwood fall silent, Leo Joyce stepped forward, pulled Rory toward him, and knelt down. In a gentle, resigned voice, he said, "Rory, you can’t speak to your father like that. He’s the person who loves you most in this world. Saying that will break his heart."
