Secretly Married for 4 Years, He Regrets to Tears After the Divorce-Chapter 130: Rationality Wavers, Almost Captivated

Wren Sutton and Adrian Lancaster’s eyes met, their gazes locking together.

His feather-light kiss landed on the corner of her mouth, feeling exceptionally intimate and gentle. That, plus his unprecedented declaration of support...

Wren Sutton had to admit she was moved. Her heart raced, and she nearly gave in.

Just as she was about to lose herself, her resolve wavering, forgetting to resist, an image of Maya Marshall’s face flashed through her mind, along with words Maya had once said.

Wren Sutton jolted, her mind clearing instantly. She calmed herself and turned her head, avoiding Adrian Lancaster’s scorching gaze.

"Your sincerity is appreciated, but you’re not the one who can truly clear my name. The law is."

"To be honest, I’ve already hired a lawyer. If the Marshall family wants to sue me, I’ll see them in court."

Adrian Lancaster’s expression didn’t change as he went along with her. "Which lawyer did you hire?"

Wren didn’t intend to hide it and answered truthfully, "Aaron Pierce."

Adrian pressed, "Who made the introduction?"

Wren didn’t want to drag Spencer Sawyer into this, fearing it would cause a misunderstanding and create trouble for him.

"A college classmate. You wouldn’t know them." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Adrian was skeptical. He gave her a long, meaningful look and gently tilted her chin up.

"It seems your college classmate is quite impressive to be able to get Aaron Pierce."

Wren feigned composure. "Isn’t it a lawyer’s job to represent people in court?"

Adrian didn’t argue, but his gaze grew more profound.

"I won’t press you on the matter of hiring a lawyer. I was already planning to..."

Just then, with a DING, the elevator arrived at their floor.

Wren cut Adrian off, urging him, "Let’s go. We shouldn’t keep Grandma waiting."

"..."

The two of them stepped out of the elevator and headed for the matriarch’s hospital room.

Seeing Wren, the matriarch was both happy and heartbroken for her.

As expected, the old woman brought up what had happened at the Quinn family’s full-month celebration and, right in front of Adrian, gave the Marshall family another tongue-lashing.

"The Marshalls have truly dug their own grave."

"Wren, don’t you worry. The Lancaster family has your back. You have nothing to fear."

Wren was deeply moved. She felt the urge to cry but held back her tears.

Ever since the incident, she hadn’t expected anyone to have her back. But the matriarch’s words filled her with the warmth of family—a precious, loving feeling.

"Grandma, thank you for believing in me."

The matriarch’s words were a great comfort to Wren. "I know exactly what kind of person you are. Even if someone put a knife in your hand, you wouldn’t dream of hurting anyone."

Wren squeezed the matriarch’s hand. "Grandma, I’ve hired a lawyer. We will get to the bottom of this, and the truth will come out. I promise I’ll give you a proper resolution."

The matriarch was relieved. "Good. We’ll trust in the law."

The two of them went back and forth, and Adrian couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

"Grandma," he interjected, "did you have something you wanted to say to me when you called me here?"

Only then did the matriarch shift her attention to Adrian, her expression instantly turning serious.

"Of course I have a few things to tell you."

Adrian sat in the chair on the other side of the bed, leaning forward slightly with an unreadable smile.

"I’m all ears."

The matriarch cleared her throat and began, her tone exceptionally grave.

"First, no matter what the Marshall family demands, you are forbidden to agree to anything."

"Second, from this moment on, you are forbidden from visiting Maya Marshall in the hospital. Whether she has an amputation or ends up in a vegetative state, it has nothing to do with you. The Lancaster family owes the Marshall family nothing."

"Third, you will do everything in your power to help your wife win this lawsuit."

「An hour later.」

The matriarch was getting tired and wanted to sleep, so Adrian and Wren rose to leave the hospital room and head home.

Before they could step into the elevator, Adrian’s phone rang. It was a call from Maya Marshall.
