Lucas didn't come back all night, and since I refused to cook for Chelsea, he blocked my contact information. I didn't have time to care about these things, and hurriedly took a car back to my hometown, intending to take away the items that carried my childhood memories.

I don't know what Lucas talked about with my mother. As soon as I got off the car, I saw her standing at the door, waiting anxiously. When she confirmed that Lucas didn't come with me, her face suddenly darkened. My mother didn't know yet, but Lucas would never step into this house. Deep down, he was full of contempt for me and this family.

"Haven't you guys reconciled yet?" asked the mother.

"We won't make up," I answered firmly.

Before I finished speaking, my mother slapped me hard on the face, and half of my cheek swelled up instantly. She seemed to still be angry, and like when we were children, in front of everyone, she picked up the broom at the door and beat me hard, using all her strength every time.

"Lucas has told me everything. You are lucky to find such a good man. Why can't you fight for it?" She cursed, "You are jealous and spend your life in debauchery. How can you be so cheap? I tell you, no matter what you do, whether it's kneeling or getting pregnant, you must find a way to marry Lucas , otherwise you will never come back!"

Suddenly , a cool breeze blew and heavy rain poured down. My mother finally stopped, stopped me outside the door, and threw out my things one by one.

"Get out of here now. Even if you die, you must die in the Lu family!" she roared.

The trophy I was so proud of when I was a kid hit me on the forehead, blood mixed with rain water slid down my cheek. I bent down and searched for memories of the past among a pile of messy things.

At this time, a Bentley slowly stopped beside me, and Lucas walked out of the car. He held an umbrella in one hand and grabbed me from behind with the other hand and dragged me to the car.

" Ella , have you learned your lesson?" He sneered, "No one in this world will love you except me. Come home with me obediently, and apologize to Chelsea after you go back. You are still the future Mrs. Lu."

He threw his coat on me, and a unique scent of Chelsea's perfume hit my nose. I turned my head to the window, looking at the scenery blurred by the rain, feeling lost.

I used to regard Lucas as my salvation and confide my innermost thoughts to him. However, he used my unknown pain as a tool to manipulate me. He has never been my support, let alone my love. Only by leaving him, leaving that so-called home, can I live a better life.

Just as I was thinking, Lucas 's cell phone rang. " Brother Lucas , why haven't you arrived yet? Everyone is waiting for you." Chelsea 's voice came from the other end of the phone, "They all teased me, saying how could the company team building only let the boss's wife attend, and the boss himself was idle, I can't cope with it..."

Lucas looked at me awkwardly and subconsciously wanted to leave me behind, but felt it was inappropriate.

"Ella, the company is having a team building, you should come and join us," he said. This was a privilege I had never had before. In order not to disturb him at work, even if I was bringing him food, I would stand outside and wait for his assistant to come out. This time, it was a gift from him that was unprecedented.

I took out a tissue and wiped the blood off my forehead, then slowly replied, "Okay."
