Chapter 236 The Houghton Family

The Ginger family of Juxshire and the Cooper family had previously engaged in business dealings. Stefan had visited the Ginger residence several times and had met Lydia. Therefore, the two could be considered old acquaintances.

Stefan sighed emotionally, “The last time I saw you, you were just a woman in your twenties. I didn’t expect time to pass so quickly…”

Lydia also nodded with mixed emotions, saying, “Indeed, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye… How is my father doing?”

“Your father was indeed still robust. I’ve heard him mention you quite a few times. He probably regrets driving you out of the Ginger family back then,” Stefan said with a sigh.

Back in the day, the Ginger family wanted to arrange a marriage alliance, but Lydia disagreed. Consequently, her father issued a harsh ultimatum. If she refused the marriage, she would have to leave the Ginger family. His intention was to pressure Lydia into submission. However, unbeknownst to him, Lydia was stubborn and defiant. To everyone’s surprise, she left the Ginger family in a huff.

After that, there was no further contact.

After hearing that, Lydia felt a bitter taste in her heart. She said, “If he truly regretted it, why didn’t he come to apologize to me?”

Stefan replied, “You’re well aware of how your father is, always concerned about saving face…”
