"No! I won't let you leave me again! I've suffered enough, and I don't want to go through that anymore!
Elaine, please don't leave me. You've promised me no matter what happens, you will stay with me!"
Emmett hugged Elaine tightly.
***
Elaine started to cry. She nodded repeatedly without saying a word.
'Emmett, of course, I don't want to leave you, but ... what Atwood said is a huge obstacle between us.'
Atwood was so angry that his face darkened. He clenched his teeth and glared at Emmett fiercely.
Then, he stared at Elaine and asked coldly.
"Kid, ask yourself. Do you think you deserve Emmett? You should leave Emmett if you have a
conscience. Whether Emmett is sincere to you or not, your presence is inappropriate. Don't you
understand?"
Elaine trembled, "I do ... I do..."
They would never see each other.
They would have to ignore each other.
They would be total strangers!
A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Emmett's pale face. He hugged Elaine, laughing coldly and
said.
"Father ... Please give us each other some dignity while I still call you father. Don't push so hard. the
Walls have ears. Whatever you've done, it will be known."
"You, what are you saying?" Atwood was frightened by Emmett's fierce look. He took a step back and
narrowed his eyes at Emmett.
Emmett stared firmly back at Atwood with threatening.
The atmosphere suddenly became so stiff.
Even Kayden felt confounded.
Elaine buried her face in Emmett's arms and silently shed tears.
What she did not know was that the father and the son were staring at each other with hatred.
After a long while, Atwood gave up first. He coughed and said, "Let's wait and see. Sooner or later, you
will regret it! And you, you will have your consequences!"
Elaine was scared to tremble. She looked at Atwood just to see that he had already turned around and
left with a walking stick.
"I am wrong. I shouldn't have done this, right? How can I be with you? I don't even deserve you
..."Elaine wiped away her tears, muttering. Emmett looked down at her and became calm and gentle."
***
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You're doing the right thing. Things aren't as bad as
you think. What happens between us is all about us. You don't need to care about that old bastard."
Old bastard?! Elaine was shocked. How could he call his father this?
"Emmett, you don't look well. Your face is pale ..."
"Of course it is! I'm dizzy now! I need to go in and lie down ..."
"What? Then why didn't you say anything? For god's sake, why are you so stubborn?"
While complaining about Emmett, Elaine supported him into the ward and helped him lie on the bed.
Emmett grabbed Elaine's hand and pulled her into his embrace.
"Elaine ..."
His voice was deep and lingering.
"What?"
"Promise me that you will stand with me no matter what. OK?"
"Well ... Fine, I promise you."
Elaine said vaguely while she felt somewhat hesitant.
Seeing how determined Atwood was, Elaine thought the chances of them being able to get together
seemed very small.
Elaine scratched her head, pouting. She couldn't help but ask, "Emmett, are you thirsty?"
"No."
"Then ... are you hungry?"
"No. Elaine, what exactly are you trying to say? Just say it. You're confusing me."
Emmett sighed and helplessly spoke.
She didn't even know how to lie while she was trying so hard to talk the nonsense here. Didn't she
know how stiff her expression was now? It was as if she had stolen someone's things and was looking
for a place to hide them.
That was funny.
"Oh ... You got me."
Elaine grinned, tears still hanging on the corner of her eyes. This childish expression made Emmett
unable to be mad at her.
"Emmett, I just wanted to ask you. After my father did that thing ... don't you hate him?"
Emmett's face froze. After a while, he said hoarsely,
"To be honest, I hate him. I've always been hating him."
***
Elaine was so frightened by Emmett's anger that she took a deep breath. Just as she was about to get
up and stay away from Emmett, Emmett began to exert strength on the arm on her back, pressing her
so hard that she could not move and she could only lie on his chest with a surprised face.
Emmett narrowed his eyes and said, "I always hated him. Besides, I used to hate the court, too. Why
didn't they sentence your father? I kept thinking about it. As I grew up and hated your father even more.
It was because of his fault that I lost my mother, as well as my sister, whom I had never had a chance
to meet."
Elaine started to tremble.
She was afraid that Emmett would target her and chop her up.
Emmett suddenly smiled. "I admit that when I met you, I was very surprised to find that you were
actually the daughter of that man. I tried to fool you around and then I would abandon you fiercely. In
this way, a girl like you will probably be so depressed. Then maybe you would probably choose to
commit suicide like Oliver's girlfriend."
Elaine curled her lips and complained in tears, "Emmett! You are a freak. And I actually wanted to be
with you and love you for the rest of my life! You're so ruthless!"
Emmett chuckled. He raised his head and kissed Elaine on the tip of her nose. He continued, "Calm
down and listen to me. Look how difficult it is for me to do this. I'm sick, and I have to hug you while
explaining everything to you."
"Well, you actually wanted to fool me and abandon me! You're a bastard. I hate you!"
Elaine pouted and rolled her eyes.
However, to Emmett, she was just adorable. He could not help but hold Elaine's head and kiss her lips
fiercely.
Elaine's unhappiness dissipated, leaving behind only her shyness. "Why are you making so much
noise while kissing? Everyone outside can hear you. That's so embarrassing."
Emmett gently stroked Elaine's back, as if comforting a child. He continued then, "Things sometimes
will go beyond your expectations, and even out of your control. For example, I just discovered that
everything happening between you and me is completely contrary to my original plan."
***
"Things sometimes will go beyond your expectations, and even out of your control. For example, I just
discovered that everything happening between you and me is completely contrary to my original plan. I
enjoy every conversation with you, as well as every expression of you. I feel that no matter what you do
or say, you are so cute and I'll never get tired of watching you. Gradually, I want you, not only your body
but also your heart. If you don't love me, I guess I'll go crazy with jealousy. I was so jealous that I fought
with my best friend, Oliver, and I even was going to stab him. Luckily, though, I didn't. Gradually, I was
sad to find that I fell in love with my enemy's daughter, deeply and helplessly. Slowly, I subconsciously
chose to forget about my hatred. I even thought about how to flatter your father when I saw him one
day. Elaine, this is everything. Although my initial thoughts were bad, you could forgive me, right?
Because I love you so much, and for you, I intend to give up my hatred."
Elaine stared blankly at Emmett. After a while, Elaine hugged Emmett tightly. She rubbed Emmett's
chest with her face and spoke.
"Emmett ~ ~ You're so nice ~ ~ ~ What you said just brought me back to life ... Emmett, I love you. I
love you so so so much ..."
Emmett chuckled and tugged at Elaine's pink ears. "Hey, baby, get loose. I'm still sick. You're strangling
me to death. Hey, it seems that you're still full of strength. Well, maybe when we were no longer rich
and couldn't afford any food, you could just go and do some muscle-power job to maintain our family."
"Come on. I'm not that strong!"
Before Elaine's tears had completely dried up, her optimism began to work as she hugged Emmett and
giggled.
Hearing Emmett's confession, she felt so sweet.
Kayden stood outside the door and looked inside. He was confused.
Men and women in love were so strange. Just now, the atmosphere had been so cold.
How came suddenly they had become so intimate again?
Atwood seemed to have made them love each other more, again.
That was strange.
However, Mr. Smith's objection was strange, too.
***
Elaine felt very happy now. Although Atwood was still opposed to them, Emmett had already confessed
to her. Being loved by Emmett, she felt very warm.
