Brian was looking forward to it. He felt as long as he worked hard, everything would be fixed. It was not
easy to deal with it, but it was possible to fix it.
“I hope so, but even if your family accepts me, my aunt may not agree.”
Winnie put the responsibility to her aunt.
“Why?”
Brian asked with doubts.
“Because she doesn’t like you. She said you are excellent and you have many people around you, I will
have no sense of safety to be with you.”
It was what her aunt worried, but she thought so too.
“Is it appraise or critic? I don’t have women around me expect you. I will only have you in the rest of my
life. Tell your aunt that… never mind, if Grandpa accepts you, will talk to your aunt.”
Brian had much thought, but he did not expect Winnie’s aunt had opinion on him.
He did have a lot of women around him, but he did not like them and he only liked Winnie.
“Ok, I will wait for your news.’
Winnie said with a smile.
“Go to sleep, we need to work tomorrow.”
Winnie ended the conversation. She did not dare imagine what Brian said. And there might not be a
day that Brian talked to her aunt.
Now she only wished she could have the children back.
Leo came to Emily’s home a lot these days, and Emily’s parents had got used to it and they were not
angry anymore.
He came a lot, but he did not often see Emily. She went to deal with the procedures of going abroad or
hung out with friends.
Now he came again.
He was disappointed that he did not see Emily in the living room, but he had talked to her parents.
“I have nothing to do today, can I have dinner at your home?”
Leo asked, even if he was refused, he would stay and wait for Emily.
“Ok, I will cook for you.”
Emily’s mother Ada said with a smile. She could see that Leo liked Emily wanted to accept him again,
but Emily did not forgive him, and she did not know why.
“Thank you, Ada, I can cook too, I can help.”
Leo was pleased. He felt relived that Emily’s parents accepted him.
“Help me another day. Go upstairs, Emily is in her bedroom.”
Ada said with a bright smile. Emily was finally home, if she did not tell Leo that, it was a waste.
“Emily is home?”
Leo asked in surprise.
“Yes, she came back at noon. She seems to have got a cold, she took medicine and….”
Before she could finish her words, Leo had run to upstairs, which amused Ada.
Leo pushed open the door of Emily’s bedroom. The curtain was closed and it was dim inside, but he
could see that Emily lying in bed covered with quilt.
He came to the bed and then sat down.
At this time, Emily said in a daze.
“Mom, I seem to have fever, get me some medicine.”
Hearing that, Low was worried. He reached to her forehead and felt it was hot. Without a word, he went
out.
Emily did not open her eyes. She thought it was her mother and did not expect to be Leo.
Soon, she heard the sound of door opening. She sat up and opened her eyes, and was to take
medicine.
But she found it was Leo.
“What are you doing here? Where is my Mom?”
Emily asked in puzzle.
“She is cooking downstairs, and it was me came in just now.”
Leo said to Emily with medicine in one hand and a glass of water in the other.
“Take the medicine, or you will get burn.”
Hearing that, Emily felt warm in heart.
She took the medicine obediently and then put the glass of water on the bedside table.
As she leaned over, her slippery pajamas straps fell over, revealing her breast, which was attracting in
the dim room.
Emily did not notice it but it was seen by Leo and he got fast heartbeat and thirsty in throat.
Emily sat well. Leo puled the quilt and covered Emily. Emily must be cold and he could not control his
violet beating heart.
At this time, Emily realized that she dressed few. She glanced at Leo and then took her line of sight
back. She pulled then quilt over.
“What are you doing here?”
Emily asked indifferently in a nasal tone.
“I miss you.”
He answered and he did have such a simple purpose.
“Don’t stay ambiguous words, I think it is better we keep distance.”
Emily was struggling. She felt Leo lied to her again, but she was pleased to hear that.
She knew it was hard to get over Leo. She still loved her, but she dare not believe him now for fear that
she would be hurt again.
“Emily, I was serious about what I said to you, and I am serious now. I am not kidding. Think it over,
if…:
“No, it is impossible. I have a blind date, and I will have a new relationship soon, so it doesn’t matter if
you are serious or not.”
Emily did not want to hear Leo so say words to sway her, or she could not tell which was true or false,
so she stopped him.
“It doesn’t belong to you, your blind date loved Winnie.”
Leo said and did not want Emily to use Brian as an excuse.
“How did you know?”
Emily asked in surprise. She did not tell him. Did she tell him when she was drunk?
“It doesn’t matter, don’t reject me using Brian. I know you can’t accept me know and don’t believe that I
love you. I can understand, but don’t hurry to reject me, try to feel my heart, I…”
“Stop, I have my reason to reject you. Since you know I will reject you, don’t insist. I won’t believe you,
because I don’t think it necessary to think for a man who had lied to me.”
Emily interrupted Leo again. If she could believe him, she would not mind and would not break up with
him,
What Leo said now was a torture to her and she had the right to reject him.
She continued.
“Leo, you may not realize I was hurt, if you do, you would not come to me again.”
“To be honest, I have finished my procedure for going abroad, I am going abroad, so don’t waste your
time on me. it is impossible that we can be together.”
Emily said sadly.
She could not let go of the fact she got cheated, so she could not accept Leo, and it would be the
source of contradiction.
She really wanted to go out and get relieved and heal her heart. If at that time Leo liked her, she would
accept him.
But she did not know how long it would take and if Leo would wait for her.
“Emily, I hurt you and I am sorry, but I hope you can give me a chance…”
Leo felt sour and he could feel Emily did not believe him. he tried to persuade her, but Emily did not
give him a chance.
“Go out, I don’t feel well and I need some sleep.”
With that, she lied down and covered herself in the quilt.
After a moment of silence, she felt that Leo got up, walked out and closed the door.
She did not pop her head our till the door was closed, but she did not turn around, because she cried
silently.
She wanted to tell Leo, now matter he liked her or not, it was late. She did not get over him, but she did
not want to be disturbed and just wanted to heal her heart.
Leo did not leave, because he was not to give up. He did not leave until he finished the dinner there.
On they way home, he made a call to a friend.
“I need a favor.”
“…”
“I have fight with my girlfriend. She was angry and wanted to go abroad. Help me and make her fail to
deal with the procedures.”
“…”
“Her name is Emily Jones.”
“…”
“Ok, do it some time.”
After hanging up, Leo gave a sly smile.
Klara learned that Wendy was in the hospital, so she came to see her.
Though Wendy could not be Brian’s wife, but Klara needed her help to go back to the Bennet Group,
so she came to show her concern.
“You got a cold, why are you in hospital for days?”
Seeing that Wendy looked bad on face and lost weight, she asked.
“I got a fever, but I didn’t notice it, so I got pneumonia. The doctor said I need to live in hospital for
Megan. But it is good to stay in hospital, so that I don’t need to hear my mom’s nagging at home.”
Wendy was touched that Klara came to see her, which meant she made a true friend.
“If it is pneumonia, you should pay attention to it. Listen to the doctor and discharge when you get
recovered.”
“Klara felt Wendy’s sickness is related to her mood. If she had not broken up with Brian, she would not
get sick.”
“Yes, it is quiet here, and I can think it over.”
Wendy dare not face the future and did not want to go home. For her, the hospital was the best place
now.
Thinking of the rudeness of Brian, she did want to give up, but thinking Winnie was pleased, she did
not want to give up. She was struggling and did not know what to do.
“Has Laura contacted you?”
Klara asked.
“We met, it was me waiting for her in her work place. I wanted to asked her what she said to Winnie, so
that I can come up with a solution, but she was evasive and said she had told me everything.”
