The light was off in the room. Sitting in front of the dressing table, Zoy looked at herself in the mirror.
Her heart was exceptionally calm, merged with the space.
She clenched her fist so hard that the wedding ring on the fourth finger of her left hand was shining,
which made her eyes hurt. She had known that things would go on like this, why was her heart still so
painful?
"I will never let you go, Michelle!"
It was dark outside. The journalists had waited outside for a whole day, but no one answered. They all
left in frustration.
Sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, Scott was reading today's headline news.
In fact, the reason why he didn't send people to block the news was that he wanted to know who was
the backstage manipulator. But he didn't expect that person had never appeared. Now, he couldn't wait
for death. After all, the other side was a ruthless character.
"Well, I'll let you go this time."
His eyes were as cold as the dark night outside the window, making it difficult to find out the deepest
meaning of his eyes.
Next morning, when Michelle woke up, she cooked breakfast in the kitchen as usual. But she looked
much more haggard than usual today, presumably because she did not sleep well last night.
Scott got up early too, because he had something to deal with.
When he went downstairs, he smelt the meal aroma from the kitchen. He raised the corners of his
mouth and quickened the pace to go downstairs.
"Why don't you get more sleep?"
As Michelle spoke, she came out with a bowl of soup in her arms. She put it on the table carefully.
On a spur of the moment, Scott hugged her from behind and kissed her earlobe. "Michelle, I love you."
For a moment, Michelle's face turned red. Because there was Emily at home, although she was a
foreigner, she did not pay much attention to this kind of things. But Michelle felt embarrassed, and she
didn't know how red her face would be if others saw it.
Scott knew she was uncomfortable, so he let go of her quickly.
After dinner, Scott went straight out of the house, while Michelle was packing in the villa. Because just
now, Scott told her that they would be back soon.
The word "home" brought her much energy. She missed her mother very much. She missed her
mother's meals and her cute bed.
"Michelle! Michelle!"
As soon as Scott left, an earsplitting voice came from upstairs. Michelle covered her ears
subconsciously so that they wouldn't be hurt by Emily's lion roar.
"What's wrong?"
When Emily walked up to her, Michelle put her hand down.
"Look, there is no news on the Internet. I've got no news about you! " Emily handed the phone to
Michelle, and stared at the screen with her eyes wide open.
With a frown, Michelle hesitated for a while and took the phone from Emily.
As she said, there was no news about her on the news. She couldn't even search any trace of the past,
and the post bars and BBS had become blank.
It was as if nothing had happened.
"It must be him. It seems that he is a capable man. I underestimated him. " Emily looked at Michelle
with a big smile on her face.
She said he was useless yesterday, but now she wanted to take it back.
However, at this time Michelle hesitated because she knew that it must be very troublesome for Scott
to do this. And all those people did was for money. So he must solve it with money.
The thought of it made Michelle's heart ache. Because she thought she owed him too much.
Seeing her losing in thought, Emily couldn't help but touch her with her elbow and said, "what are you
thinking about? I'm so hungry. Please make some food for me. "
"It's done. Go get yourself a bowl. I'm not your maid." Michelle rolled her eyes at her and then walked
towards the living room without looking back.
"Hey, woman!"
Emily pretended to be angry and called her name, but she couldn't help laughing out.
After breakfast, Michelle received a call. She looked at the caller ID and hesitated for a long time before
she pressed the answer key.
It was Walter. He asked, "are you okay, Michelle?"
"I'm fine." Of course she knew why he asked her such a question. Now things had passed, there was
no need to worry.
Emily sat beside her with a plate of fruits in her arms and ate it with appetite. However, when she heard
the male voice on the phone, she couldn't help but feel curious.
But she suddenly felt bored with their conversation, so she lost her interest.
After hanging up the phone, Michelle sat on the sofa with a pillow in her arms and continued to watch
TV. There was not much expression on her face. Emily wasn't a gossipy person, so she didn't ask.
But she was sure that it was not Scott calling. However, when she saw Michelle frowned, she was
curious about the other party's identity.
"Is he a man who has a secret crush on you?" She leaned her head to hear it clearly.
However, she was pushed away by Michelle.
"What are you thinking about? Could you be more serious? I'm fine now. You should go home now. "
Michelle did not hesitate to chase her away. But in fact, she was reluctant to do so, it was just a joke.
For her, Emily was her only best friend.
A close friend?
It is when you are in need, helpless or lonely, she will rush out the first time.
"Michelle, I'm sorry. Please let me go. I just came back to China uneasily and you drove me away
before I got enough fun. "
Emily begged as she gripped Michelle's arm tightly, not willing to let her go.
One day, Michelle finally decided to go home. She and Emily sat on the back seat of Scott's car, talking
and laughing with each other.
The car slowly drove into the Happiness District. Michelle and Scott went upstairs arm in arm, and
Emily had to follow them alone.
"Walter, how could you..."
As soon as they entered the room, Michelle and Scott saw him sitting on the sofa. All of a sudden,
Michelle's smile disappeared. It seemed that she didn't welcome him to her home.
Looking at them standing in the doorway, Walter was scared, but he still stood up from the sofa.
"Michelle, I'm so glad to see you are all right," He endured the discomfort in his heart and greeted her.
It never occurred to Michelle that he would come at this time.
The situation was kind of embarrassing. Emily, who was standing behind them, looked at Walter. At that
moment, she felt her heart was beating so fast!
"Emily, you are here too. Come on in!" After Olivia came out of the kitchen and saw a group of people
in the room, she was extremely happy. She had known that her daughter would come back safely.
Because she did not get the news in advance, Olivia did not prepare many dishes.
"I'm going to cook a few more dishes." After taking a look at the dishes on the table, Olivia turned
around and was about to go to the kitchen, but she was stopped by Scott the next second, "don't
bother, aunt. Let's eat in a restaurant to celebrate."
After hesitating for a while, Olivia smiled and nodded. The dishes were put in the refrigerator and could
be heated up the next day. Anyway, that was a genuine gift of Scott. Plus, her daughter had gone
through so much hardship, which was the main reason for her to celebrate.
Then they went downstairs. As there were only four of them, Walter was left alone.
"It doesn't matter. I came here by car." Standing in front of the car, Walter said calmly.
But when he turned around, Emily ran to him and opened the door of the black car. Walter was stunned
and turned to look at her.
Emily was tall and slender, with snow-white skin and her bright blue eyes, making her like a doll.
"You want to ride my car?" He asked.
Emily didn't say anything, but nodded sincerely. As a gentleman, Walter didn't refuse.
In the co pilot's seat, Emily would peek at the person sitting next to her from time to time and then turn
her head to snicker.
Walter, who was driving attentively, did not notice her, because his heart had been rushing to the car in
front.
As soon as they stepped into the restaurant, a waiter greeted enthusiastically, "excuse me, How many
persons are you?"
"Five."
Michelle took a look at Scott and found that he had no intention to speak. So she answered
immediately to ease the embarrassment.
A waiter brought a few people to the private room of the restaurant, and another waiter also politely
placed the menu in front of them. Emily seemed very impolite. She looked through the menu, and
suddenly grinned. She looked at Walter beside her and asked, "what do you like to eat?"
"I..." Walter was puzzled by Emily's enthusiasm.
'This foreign girl is really outgoing, ' he thought.
Emily was a little anxious as she found that Walter couldn't give her the answer. She looked down at
the menu and ordered several dishes she liked.
Scott searched here and there but couldn't find anything he liked to eat. He closed the menu and
looked at the waiter, "what's the best in your restaurant?"
"We..."
"Bring all the best food in your restaurant here." It was Walter who spoke, and his words were very
generous.
Michelle could feel their mutual jealousy for her. She didn't like this kind of atmosphere, and she didn't
want the two brothers to break up because of her.
"Scott, we have ordered enough. We don't need to serve any more. Well, if it's not enough, we can
order some more. "
Michelle looked at Scott and said softly. But it was just because of her action that Walter was more and
more unhappy.
