When asking the one who Emily felt guilty for the most, undoubtedly, Zoey would be the first one.
"It's not your fault. I am used to being alone. It's the same everywhere."
"Zoey, don't make me feel sorry for you."
Zoey stiffened and said, "I never thought about it."
That was the reason why Emily felt so sad. In the darkness, she held the hand of Zoey first but also
released it first.
Zoey had not been heard for nine years. As to this, sometimes she wanted to resent her brother, but
she had no right to do so. "Sorry..."
"It's not your fault. It's my choice."
He chose this when the other man asked him to make a choice nine years ago. He stayed there for
years, waiting for the day when Emily would come back.
"Have you seen the report these days?" Emily didn't want to talk about it anymore because she would
never be able to pay the debt in the rest of her life.
"If I knew it was you seven years ago, and if I had known his arrangement would be wrong, I would
have refused to accept his proposal in the past." Zoey's tone was cold and resolute.
"Let bygones be bygones." Emily sighed.
Zoey became silent. After a while, he said, "The kid resembles you a lot." His tone was still cold, but
slightly gentle.
"Hmm, Charles is a smart boy. I will bring him to you a few days later. You will like him."
"Okay."
"By the way, I might bring another person here." Emily thought of Brian.
"Brian..."
"Yes." There was no doubt that Zoey would know this. News about them was spread all over the city.
"Really?"
"Who knows? I just think it's interesting."
Zoey's blue eyes became deeper. "Are you still afraid?"
Emily's smile froze on her face.
"You know me, Zoey. I should be single, and Charles was an accident. I don't regret for him, as for
Brian..." Emily was not sure.
"You have started to care about him. If you were not, you wouldn't have cared so much about him, you
shouldn't be too careful. The past is past, even if it was something that can't be forgotten and the past
can't deprive anyone of the right to enjoy happiness. In those years, I didn't break your barrier and
enter your heart, but I still hoped that someone could get inside even if it wasn't me. You have to care
about yourself much more."
"You are in my heart, Zoey."
"Well, but it's not where I want to occupy in your heart, but I also know that I'm not the person who can
spend the rest of my life with you. We knew it from the beginning, so when I made my choice that year,
I didn't choose to fight for your love. It's not easy to have a place in your heart, and I'm already
satisfied, so I don't want to walk more deeply into your heart any more. All I can do is to stay by your
side and protect you. I can't live with you for the rest of my life, but I can still fight for the hardships with
you. This is my choice, and you know I will make this choice. "
"So you are the one who can make me face with ease."
Zoey smiled and said, "Give it a try. Brian may be a good choice."
"Wow, it's so rare to hear such a good comment from you."
"I've heard a lot of rumors in this city over the past few years. It's said that he's a playboy, but he never
takes the initiative to make a move on any woman. It's said that he doesn't pay attention to the
business, but the interests of several business that the Yun Company has given him can be gained.
He's not a simple man."
Hearing what he said, Emily smiled and did not contradict him. "He is the CEO of the World
International."
"Sure enough." It seemed that Zoey already had a suspicion about it from his tone, but it was normal
for him to have a suspicion. About the environment around him, Zoey was so sensitive that Emily even
gave in to him.
"Maybe only a person like him can catch you."
"It seems that this is the only man you are sure about, except my brother."
But Zoey didn't give any reply, because he knew very well that Emily's brother shouldn't be simply
illustrated as 'sure'.
Although he had only met that man for a few times, he hoped that Brian would seize Emily since Emily
had made her choice. He didn't want to leave her alone.
"Have you been contacted with Ron over the years?"
Zoey became worried, "Are you not feeling well?"
Emily shook her head slightly, "No, you can rest assured, I'm fine."
Until she looked at Zoey to comfort her, Zoey finally calmed down and asked, "Where is John?"
"Neither." Emily was silent for a while.
"If I guess right, your power should have developed a lot over the past few years. Help me investigate
Ron, and you'd better not let John know. I have a feeling that even if Ron contacted John, he would not
tell me."
"Okay." Zoey nodded, "That's not mine. That's your power."
"It's the same. Yours is mine, isn't it?"
Seeing that, Emily smiled slyly. But Zoey could do nothing about it.
"Today, a group of forces eliminated the Harvey Gang. Be careful."
Originally, Zoey wanted to send someone to follow Emily or follow her by himself, but he knew that
Emily would not agree. Under the calm surface of this city, a huge storm was always brewing.
The shuffle of all the forces seven years ago was still clear in his mind. He knew that one day, Emily
would make an attack. After he found out everything, what he could do was to keep a slight distance
from her, after all, the identity of her would not be found out temporarily.
"Who is so bored in Harvey Gang?"
Emily never wanted to meddle in things she didn't care at all.
"Zoey, Charles has bought a house here and you move in. If I find you are here again, I'll fall out with
you."
A smile appeared on the Zoey's cool face. He would never refute what Emily said, not to mention that it
was just one thing, "Okay."
"I'll take Charles to visit you some other day."
"Well, don't be alone, and don't take the consequences yourself."
Emily was shocked. "I know. I have you and Charles."
"I hope so."
Emily forced a smile and turned away as soon as possible. She was sure what Zoey was going to say
something related to Brian.
Now she was not sure whether she had made the right choice to be together with Brian or not after one
round by one. She stepped out of the door and saw Haze standing by. She looked around for a while.
"When did you come here? Why didn't I see you?"
"When you were making out with Zoey." Haze stubbed out the cigarette.
"After all these years, you are still good at teasing others."
"Not as good as you." Haze shook his head helplessly.
"Zoey will move today. My room is big enough. You can move with him."
"Thank you, Miss."
"Haze, you must take care of Zoey."
Looking at Haze in front of her, Emily said in a serious manner. Over the years, Haze had always been
with Zoey, so Emily trusted him.
"Don't worry, Miss. Emily."
It was not until Emily left that Haze opened the door and walked into the studio. Zoey was packing up.
"I've given you advice for so many years, but it still isn't as useful as Miss Emily's one word."
"Yes." Zoey bent a little and only spoke a simple word.
"So many years have passed. Are you still willing to let go?"
"Her happiness is enough."
Although Emily might have pretended to be happy, it was enough. It was much better than before, and
there had been nothing like this before.
"Yes, Miss Emily has changed a lot..." But there was something hidden in her eyes, which made Zoey
unable to look away.
Zoey continued to pack up. In fact, there weren't many things to pack up. Haze stood aside, watching
his boss bustling around.
In many aspects, Haze admired Zoey very much. Especially in terms of relationship, Zoey could let go
of who he love so easily and choose another way to guard the relationship, even if he would never get
her.
However, Haze was sure that there was a place for Zoey in her heart that nobody could shake. His
persistence and his attitude was really admirable.
By the time when Emily came back, Brian had already been back home. Looking at his half smiling
eyes, Emily quivered slightly.
"I will gossip if you stare at me like that at night." Emily thought of what Zoey had said when she saw
Brian.
"Oh, what did you think?"
"Humph!" Ignoring him, Emily put on her slippers.
She glanced at the shoe cabinet and suddenly remembered that her clothes and shoes were all
prepared by Brian from the first day she lived here. It was rare that he knew her size, which made her a
little shocked.
"What are you thinking about?" At this moment, Brian came over and asked, "Did you drink?"
"Yes, I drank a little." She slightly moved her eyes from the shoe cabinet and closed the door.
"Water? Or milk? Are you okay?"
"I will be happier if I have a glass of wine."
"Not today. You've drunk too much these days."
As he spoke, he poured a glass of milk for Emily. She looked at it with a pout.
"I think my taste is not that bad, right?" And she even had to drink milk.
"Oh, Charles said this brand is good, but you don't like it. I can think about asking Charles to change it.
Tell him that his mother doesn't like it."
Threatened with sheer confrontation. Emily drank it up in one gulp. Brian said with a smile. Although
there were some restrictions between them, it was obvious that they cared much about each other.
"That brat! What kind of system has Vincent mastered to make him so obsessed that he doesn't even
call me?"
Several days had passed since she went out, but Charles didn't call her at all. It didn't happen in the
past. At last, Emily attributed it to his love for the electronic system.
But Brian didn't say much about it. If he said too much, there was no need for Emily to make a guess.
He knew how sensitive she was, so he said, "Have you seen the person you care about?"
