Chapter 203

It Can Only Be Wendy

After hearing his mother‘s words, Byron smirked mockingly.

“If I don‘t have plans to go through with that, what do you think Wendy should think about herself?”

Shock flashed through Melody‘s eyes and transformed into rage.

“What the heck are you talking about? Wendy‘s waited for you for so many years, and think of the
number of sacrifices she‘s made for you! You dare tell me now that you don‘t intend to go through with
it? The news of our two families coming together has been circulating out there for so many years.
Didn‘t you think of what the world would think of us if we ever called off the union?”

Byron snapped coldly, “Why did you think I‘ve never responded to this for the past six years? I‘ve
already told you before that I don‘t need you getting involved in this. I‘ll handle it!”

The underlying meaning was that he indeed had no intentions of going through with the engagement
with Wendy.

Understanding the meaning between the lines of his words, Melody‘s face fell. She had indeed heard of
this issue from the Fullers. They said that Byron had personally said all of these to Wendy.

However, at that time, she was still skeptical. She thought that with her son‘s personality, if he really did
not plan to go through with it, why would he even allow this engagement to last for so long?

Now, she had personally heard all these words coming from her son‘s mouth! Melody‘s hand was
clasped tight around the armrest of the couch as she bellowed, “If you‘re not going through with the
engagement with Wendy, what do you want to do? Marry that Jacobs woman again? I see that you‘ve
forgotten what that Jacobs woman did all those years ago!”



When Melody brought Rosalie up, Byron‘s eyebrows were locked tightly in a frown. He did not continue
the conversation.

“If it weren‘t for her all those years ago, you would‘ve gotten together with Wendy a long time ago! Us
Lawrences wouldn‘t have to endure that kind of joke! That Jacobs woman left a signed divorce
agreement and disappeared without a trace, leaving Estie behind without a care. She let such a small
baby get deported back to the country and turned our family upside down! I won’t allow this kind of
woman to step foot into our family ever again!”

Whenever she thought about that woman with the last name of Jacobs, Melody would always feel her
temper rising to no end. She slammed her hand hard on the hand rest of the couch. “I don‘t care what
you‘re thinking about doing right now about your marriage to Wendy! I‘ve already spread the news
about the wedding plans between you and Wendy. We, the Lawrences, will not go back on our words!
This marriage between you and Wendy is already set in stone!”

When she was done, she did not even wait for Byron to refute before looking up at Estie‘s room. Her
tone softened. “Regarding the incident about Wendy hitting Estie and not apologizing to her after that…
I‘ll let them interact with each other more these days so that their relationship can improve. Estie will
have to accept her as her mother someday.”

Byron saw how stubborn his mother was and frowned once more. It was his marriage, but he was not
given a chance to give his opinion. It had now escalated. His mother could even forgive the abuse that
was inflicted on the granddaughter she had loved all this while. He really had no idea how much Wendy
was involved in this matter. Melody saw that he was silent and took it as a silent agreement. Her anger
subsided a little.” Also, about that news article today… The woman in the photos is that Jacobs woman,
isn‘t it?”

Byron did not agree or disagree.



“I‘ll just take whatever happened today as an accident. The union intended between you and Wendy is
already widespread news. I don‘t care what you think, but you have to keep your distance from that
woman and take note of the influence that could have on both our families.”

Melody added as if she had just recalled something, “On another note, make that woman behave
herself! I don‘t wanna see any other versions of what‘s written in the news today! The woman in the
photos can only be Wendy!” She did not even give Byron a chance to respond before marching away.
