Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 46

After her mother passed away, Lydia brought Willow to live with them.

Willow took a liking to Wren's bedroom.

Quentin had said the exact same thing back then.

"Wren, Willow is having a hard time adjusting. You're the older sister, be reasonable."

Later on, Willow broke the fountain pen Vivian had left for Wren.

Quentin said, "She didn't do it on purpose. Don't be so petty."

Even later, when Willow went abroad and needed money.

Quentin said, "You're married to Lawrence now. What's wrong with helping your sister out?"

These words had acted like a noose, choking Wren for years.

Hearing them again now, she only felt exhausted.

"Dad," Wren's voice was faint. "If I stop being reasonable, will you guys have no idea what to do with me?"

Quentin froze. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means, starting today, I'm done being reasonable."

With that, she hung up.

On the other end of the line, Quentin's face turned livid.

Sitting next to him, Lydia's eyes instantly welled with tears.

"Is Wren still blaming me? I've tried so hard to treat her well all these years. Why can't she just tolerate Willow?"

Quentin slammed his hand on the table.

"She really thinks she's untouchable now."

Lydia dabbed her eyes, her voice gentle but loaded with implication.

"She's been married into the Langford family for so long, she probably feels she doesn't need us anymore. But Quentin, Willow is just finding her footing at Langford Medical. We can't let Wren ruin this for her."

Quentin's expression darkened.

"Tell her to come home for dinner tomorrow."

Lydia gave a subtle nod.

And just like that, her family set the stage for their next confrontation.

That evening, Wren received a text from Quentin.

Come home for dinner tomorrow night. We need to talk.

She glanced at it and didn't reply.

A second later, he sent another message.

If you ignore this, I'll come down to Stellaris Medical myself.

Wren stared at the screen for a long time.

Finally, she replied with a single word.

Fine.

It was time she went back anyway.

Some debts needed settling with the Langford family.

The same went for her own.

At ten o'clock that night, Lawrence returned to the estate.

Willow was sitting in the living room sorting through files for the recovery project, papers strewn across the coffee table.

Seeing him walk in, she immediately stood up.

"Lawrence."

Lawrence glanced at the files. "You're not asleep yet?"
