Chapter 46: Luc Taylor Invites Lindsey Beth Beth to Watch a Movie
The innocent smiles of the children were genuinely sincere, like the dawn breaking through the clouds, touching the deepest parts of one’s heart. It was so heartfelt that she couldn’t bear to refuse,
“Dr. Johnson, do you think I painted poolly? George’s eyes sparkled like stars, bright and charming, his lips curling into an intoxicating smile
“No, no, your painting is marvelous. I’m unworthy of it. Besides, I didn’t help much, I’m just doing my duty as a doctor”
“Thank your Emina accepted the painting without hesitation, treating it like a cherished treasure. She rolled it up carefully and slung it over her shoulder
George was surprised to see how much Emma treasured the painting he had given her, a warm smile spreading across his face like a gentle spring
breeze.
Ariane noticed Emma coming to replace her and quickly removed her white cont, preparing to leave. But she hesitated, saying, “Dr. Johnson, you probably haven’t received any messages these past few days, right? The signal here is weak, but it might be stronger on the hill behind the school. If you come across any news about the hospital I hope you remain calm”
A hint of mockery curled at the corner of her mouth, and a flicker of sympathy flashed in her eyes. What a pitiful woman, pursuing Luc for so many years and married for less than a year. Once she returns to Boston, she might be pushed out of the Taylor family
Anane, feel free to speak your mind Emma sensed Ariane was hinting at something but couldn’t grasp when she had offended her. Her attitude hadn’t
been this aggressive a few days ago, why the sudden change?
Anne felt a bit embarrassed and beat around the bush until she finally said, “Dr. Johnson, as a woman myself, I don’t know what to say in situations like this. But the rumors about another woman and Dr. Taylor might not be true. You must believe in him After speaking, she expressed sympathy, hoping to
convey genuine concem
Only then did Emma realize what Ariane was referring to. Her eyes were clear, not revealing the despair Ariane had hoped for. Ariane seemed foolish. jumping to conclusions, “Dr. Johnson, did you know about this? You… you’re so tolerant!”
Given the wealth and status of the Taylor family, how many women would leap at the chance to insert themselves? Perhaps enduring in silence might evoke some pity from Taylor, and she wouldn’t feel the need to clarify things.
“It’s not about tolerance; if a man wants to cheat, it’s not something I can stop, right? I can only control myself and not those who are extraneous”
Extraneous people? Was Taylor extraneous to her? How did the topic of intern seeks returnee scholar] come up in the hospital gossip?
“How quickly have I become a redundant party? Ariane thought.
However, she also felt that Emma was merely pretending to be strong. Inside, she must be hurting, right? Himph! Let’s see how long you can hold on! She
tossed her hair and stormed off
Luc sat in his office, scrolling through his phone, hoping to see any updates from Emma on social media, anything that would reflect his current mood. But there have been no updates recently. Recalling how he had mentioned preparing divorce papers as soon as she returned from the West, combined with hearing her say “ex–wife,” filled his heart with a sour, bitter feeling. Why did it hurt so much?
Was Emma not an insignificant person to him? An expendable person who somehow affected his mood?
Lately, Luc found himself wishing Emma would send a message or confront him–anything but the current silence.
Just as he was lost in thought, a message popped up on his Instagram. His eyes it up, thinking it was from Emma
Lindsey Luc, didn’t we agree to watch a movie last time? How about tonight?)
The light in his eyes dimmed considerably upon seeing that the message was from Lindsey. Softening his gaze, he began to type a response: [Alright, what
movie do you want to watch?ll book the tickets in advance.)
Drector Grant’s new fim “Fall in Love” is premiering today. How about that one?)
[Hm] After responding. Luc immediately began booking the tickets online.
Tickets have been booked, I’ll pick you up tonight!

Jane called him again, “Luc, why don’t you bring Lindsey home for dinner tonight? Mom and Soraya can prepare something in advance.”
“Mom, it’s okay”
“Luc, aren’t you thinking clearly? What do you mean by it’s not necessary? She just got back, and you don’t want to introduce her to me, her aunt? The Beth family will get the wrong idea.”
“Mom, there’s no need for that. I’m going to the movies with her tonight.”
Hearing that her son was going to watch a movie with Lindsey instantly brightened Jane’s mood. Her face radiated joy y that couldn’t be hidden. Did he take the initiative to ask Lindsey to watch a movie without her prompting?
Good with good! 1975 didn’t you tell

Jane hung up happily. Berny noticing her mother’s good mood, apploached and asked, “Mom, did my brother agree to bring Lin
Jane replied joyfully, “Your brother is going to see a movie with Lindsey tonight.
for dinner tonight?”
“Wow, that’s even better! I didn’t expect my always serious brother to have a romantic side.” Soraya said, linking arms with Jane
“Emma has been around my brother for three or four years, and I’ve never seen him take her to a movie. If Emma found out about this, she would be
furious, night? Hahaha.”
Remembering how Emma had once made things difficult for her, Soraya was eager to see her reaction after being dumped by her brother.
Jane shot her a light glare. “Why are you bringing her up? After she returns from the West, it will be time for her and your brother to divorce. By then,
Lindsey might already be pregnant with your brother’s child.”
Jane became more excited as she spoke. The thought of pushing Emma out of the Taylor family and having her son marry a woman of lower status lifted
the gloom in her heart.
A woman with no status or position wanting to marry into the Taylor family? It would only lower the family’s standards. Did others think the hundred–year-
old Taylor medical family had such a low threshold?
If she had been able to take care of her son, she would have kicked Emma out of the Taylor family long ago. The ideal daughter–in–law in her mind was
Lindsey–elegant, radiant, with a prominent family background, either on the same level or higher than the Taylor family’s status.
Emma, coming from a modest background, couldn’t even reach their standards. She wasn’t helpful to her son at all, she would only drag him down!
“Mom, my brother hasn’t divorced Emma yet. It’s better to keep a low profile for now to avoid any unfavorable rumors about him.”
