After Divorcing the Tycoon, I Married into a Wealthy Family Again-Chapter 57: The Future Is Long
Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Future Is Long
Florence Fuller was somewhat moved by his kiss, her eyes dazed, her lips slightly swollen. Ethan Harper tightly embraced her, pressing his forehead against hers: "I really...really...miss you especially."
Florence Fuller bit her lip, listening to his voice full of longing, tears glistening in her eyes: "Why did you suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear?"
She felt it was so unreal.
Day and night, especially when he vanished without reason, she couldn’t find him, she was going mad.
"I’m sorry." Ethan Harper held her, murmuring by her ear over and over.
"What’s the use of being sorry?" Tears slipped from the corners of Florence’s eyes: "Do you know, I got married."
Ethan Harper’s eyes were filled with sorrow: "I know."
"You know." She pushed Ethan Harper away, stepped out from his embrace, and looked at him in pain: "What’s the use of knowing, you disappeared whenever you wanted and appeared whenever you wanted. I searched for three years without a trace, and yet you can find me flawlessly."
She loved and hated Ethan Harper simultaneously.
From the moment they met, this man had given her everything; deep, restrained love, and thoughtful care. Struggling in the Fuller Family, he taught her how to survive.
He never said he loved her, but all his actions proved that he did.
But such a person vanished suddenly on an ordinary day.
She thought of countless possibilities, business trips, dealing with family affairs, and that he would return soon.
But from beginning to end, there wasn’t a single phone call or message, and she stayed like a fool in that house for months. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Florence." He looked deeply at her: "Three years ago, it was beyond my control, I couldn’t dare involve you, I feared something might happen to you."
"Then tell me." She wiped tears off her face: "Why did Clara Fuller know you were in France?"
She had tried so hard back then to find out he was in France, yet when Clara Fuller came to SJ, she casually said they were married, especially since she had been in France for three years.
"A sudden encounter. But I had no contact with her."
Florence looked at Ethan Harper, this man’s inner world was always mysterious; she knew his family life was complex, and he was always avoiding disasters during those years in Cloudsea.
She was so confused.
"I need to go back." She brushed past Ethan Harper: "I need to go back."
Ethan Harper reached out to hold her hand, the cold touch made his heart tremble slightly; he wrapped an outer garment around Florence and embraced her through this posture: "Feel free to resent or hate me, I have no objections, but Florence, these three years apart have been a piercing pain for me. I returned now just for you, I won’t force you; from now on, we have a long time ahead of us."
The embrace from behind vanished, and Florence aimlessly walked away from there.
She didn’t know what to do, Ethan Harper’s sudden appearance seemed to have disrupted all her rhythms.
The next day.
Luke Gardiner appearing with another woman at a charity banquet and sitting with his wife made headlines, dominating the top three rankings.
Clicking in, you could see all three seated in the same row, though there was some distance between Florence and Luke Gardiner. Other photos showed Luke Gardiner and his female companion looking intimate.
"Wow, the wife is also quite the beauty, what’s Young Master Gardiner thinking?"
"House flowers can’t beat wild flowers’ fragrance."
"This Mrs. Gardiner sure has patience, sitting with a lover on stage, only Young Master Gardiner could do this."
"What’s it matter, probably the wife doesn’t care, business marriage with no feelings involved."
"..."
Usually, such public opinions would fade on their own, but today, half the day passed and the buzz not only didn’t decrease but increased, also revealing Luke Gardiner’s previous romantic scandals.
Someone listed the numerous female celebrities he dated in the entertainment industry.
Others calculated how many girlfriends he had in total.
"Heard that Young Master Gardiner has always been generous, women who followed him gained a lot."
"So handsome, rich, young, and from a decent family background, if a woman secretly bore his child, she’d get more."
"He probably pays attention to protection."
"Who knows, what if an illegitimate child surfaces someday."
"..."
Gardiner Corporation.
Edward Johnson stood in front of Luke Gardiner’s desk, watching his face grow darker.
"Can’t bring it down." He tossed the phone onto the desk: "What did those two media outlets say? How did they manage to sneak in?"
Edward Johnson looked at him: "It was the lady who let them in."
Even today’s hot topics were all pushed up by Florence Fuller’s actions.
Done by her.
Luke Gardiner squinted, was this woman trying to tear off the facade completely?
"Take it down immediately."
"It’s taken down, but there’s still one, DN Dawn isn’t willing to remove it, that’s a company under the lady’s control," Edward Johnson said.
Luke Gardiner’s face looked increasingly grim, he picked up the phone to call Florence Fuller.
No answer.
He was about to make a second call when an elder’s call came in.
He closed his eyes, didn’t even need to answer, and walked out straight: "I’m going back to the old house."
Florence Fuller didn’t go to the company all day, and in the evening, she got a call and went to an appointment.
Florence Fuller pushed open the private room door, Christopher Fuller was making tea at the coffee table, and upon hearing the noise, a smile rose on his handsome face: "Long time no see, sister."
Christopher Fuller’s father and Florence Fuller’s father, Michael Fuller, were biological brothers, and he was three years older than Florence Fuller.
Michael Fuller was a harsh person, since taking over all the company’s affairs, he’d pushed his own brother to the company’s periphery. Had it not been for Christopher Fuller’s abilities allowing him to return to Fuller Clan headquarters with great difficulty, he now held a position that was only titular and without real power.
Michael Fuller was very cautious of him.
Florence Fuller tossed her bag onto the sofa and drained the tea he had poured.
She didn’t look in a good state or mood.
Christopher Fuller noticed: "You met Ethan Harper."
Florence Fuller looked at him: "You met him early on?"
Christopher Fuller smiled: "He went back to Cloudsea City once, by chance."
Cloudsea City... Florence Fuller felt a slight turmoil in her mind but ultimately chose silence.
The waiter brought the dishes continuously to the table, and Christopher Fuller handed her the gift he brought: "Long time no see, a gift for our meeting."
Since Florence Fuller returned to the Fuller Family, their relationship was not good; they had barely met a few times.
These two cousins’ relationship was almost like strangers.
But Florence Fuller also knew that this cousin was not as easygoing as he appeared.
That was why Florence Fuller initially grabbed the shares in her hands and sought him out, reaching a deal with him, which initiated their contact.
Christopher Fuller gifted a top luxury brand necklace.
Florence Fuller accepted it, also knowing that his reason for finding her this time was definitely not simple: "Let’s get to business."
Christopher Fuller nodded: "We can talk while we eat."
