The Abandoned Wife

Elias frowned, and when he spoke, his voice was tinged with a hint of exasperation. "I've long since told you to let Lucian make the decisions himself when it comes to his marriage. Everyone is free to live their own lives. Why must we meddle so much?" Disapproval was written all over Sonya's face. "How could I possibly allow that? Is Lucian's marriage his business alone?

It makes it appear as though we're too ruthless." Elias was likewise aware of the Pearson family's current condition. However, he didn't find
