Though his limbs could not be well controlled, it did not affect him to go upstairs and he was still in
hurry.
Emily could not calm down and walked forth and back in her room.
It had been over 2 hours, but Leo still insisted, which had created a miracle of her father’s drinking.
Emily was worried, for Leo had never had so much drink and he could not stand it.
At this thought, she could not sit idle and was to go downstairs to drive Leo away.
She strode to the door, and as she was to reach the door, it was opened by Leo.
His eyes were blurred. As he saw Emily, he gave a silly smile.
“Emily, thank for you allowing me to have dinner at your home.”
As he said that, he walked inside, trembling, but he did not notice it.
Seeing that he was to fall down, Emily hurried to support him.
“You are drunk. Shall I drive you back?”
Leo frowned. He had been driving with her father for more than two hours, it was lucky that he could go
upstairs.
“No, you don’t need to send me back. I have a few words to talk to you and then I will leave.”
As he spoke, he felt tired and needed a place to rest, so he walked straight to Emily’s bed. And then he
threw himself on it.
“Emily, I am drunk. I can’t drink as much as your father, and it is the first time I drank this much. I felt
bad, I just wanted to drink, the more, the better.”
Leo could not say out a complete sentence at this moment, but he knew he was upset.
“I am drunk, but I understand…I understand everything.”
At this, he stopped, tossed in the bed, looking uncomfortable.
“What is wrong, do you want to vomit?”
Emily asked with concern. She felt distressed seeing that Leo was tortured by alcohol.
“No, I won’t defile your bed, and I don’t want you to hate me.”
“Emily, I want to tell you, I do love you. I love you afterwards, but I.. I.. don’t lie to you.”
Leo was drunk, but he was sincere when he repeated his words. And Emily could feel that.
He hoped that Emily could pick up his sincere heart, even if she just took a look at it.
“It was my fault I lied to you… I apologize…I apologize… I kneel down to apologize to you…”
With that, he was to get up, but was pressed by Emily.
“I don’t need you to apologize. Lie down, don’t move.”
Emily would not let him kneel down. Even if it was his fault, even if she could not forgive her, but a man
could not kneel down to others easily.
Just as Emily reached out her hand to press Leo, Leo grasped her hand.
"Emily, please give me a chance. I promise I really love you. Please....."
Speaking of this, Leo felt his eyes wet.
When Charles taught him, he thought he would not cry, because he was the one who had done the
wrong thing, and it was Emily who should be wronged. How could he cry in face of Emily?
But he really felt his heart sour and uncontrollably, he shed tears.
Just then Leo pulled Emily to his side and stretched out his long arm to embrace her in his arms. Only
in this way, Emily would not see his tears and think he was trying to conquer her.
But when Emily was lying in his arms, his tears were even flowing more. Not daring to make a sound,
he turned his head the other side.
"I really didn't lie to you..."
A complete sentence could not be finished. Leo's voice began to tremble, and he stopped.
Leo did not want to let Emily see his tears, but Emily saw it in the moment Leo got tears in eyes.
His tears trickled down from the corners of his eyes, but fell on Emily's heart.
Leo's tears must have added a lot of salt inside, otherwise how could her heart be hurt?
At the moment of being dragged down by Leo, Emily happened to lie sideways on Leo's arm, and also
happened to see Leo's tears from the corner of his eyes.
As tears flowing down, Leo turned his head to avoid being seen. But the tears shook Emily's heart.
What she could not bear to see was others cried, especially men.
She had never seen a man cry. How precious the man's tears were. He shed tears for a woman, was it
a proof that this woman was an extraordinary existence in his heart?
Then, after hearing Leo's almost sobbing voice, Emily could not control herself. Her eyes because
moist, and then there were tears flowing down.
She wanted to comfort Leo, but she was afraid that Leo would be embarrassed. She could only put
what she wanted to say in heart.
During these days, Leo experienced to forget, experienced to start over, coupled with her distrust and
repeatedly refusing, was he already physically and mentally exhausted, so that he could not help but
shed tears?
Was he really in love with her? Was he telling truth this time? Would he not do things for another
woman?
"Emily, I really don't love Winnie anymore. Actually...I have long not loved her, but I made a mistake,
and took guilt as love."
When Emily was silent, Leo suppressed his emotions and spoke again. His voice was low and soft.
"If I had trusted her, she wouldn't have been treated so unfairly. I can help her bear tens of millions of
debt. But instead of helping her, I hurt her."
"I'm sure...I'm sure you would feel guilty if it were you found out the truth."
"I tried everything to help Winwin in order to make up for my discomfort."
At this, Leo stopped, as if he had understood something and raised a self-mockery radian on lips.
"I realize now that I did everything for myself. I am so selfish, in order to feel better, I imposed
everything on others. I'm a jerk."
"People like me don't deserve you. Don't forgive me...
Leo realized that his actions had brought inconvenience to others and suddenly did not want Emily to
be upset because of his persistent bothering.
Although they loved each other, they were not right to be together. All right, give Emily peace and quiet.
"I'm going back. I won't bother you anymore. Go abroad and stay as far away from me as you can."
Leo got up when he finished his words. Before Emily said a word, he had gone out of Emily's room.
Emily sat on the bed in a daze. Although she was worried about Leo, she did not chase out.
Leo was not a scum, not a jerk. He was a good man with a good heart. But she was not sure if the knot
in her heart could be opened and if she could accept Leo.
Leo’s words made her Emily distressed. How disappointed he was at her to say those self-deprecating
things. Was her behavior really out of line? Should she reconsider him?
But had Leo given up? Did it mean that they had broken up in the real sense?
She was not sure if she was lucky now because she had broken up with Leo, or her sincere intention to
go abroad touched God, at noon the next day, Emily received a notice that she could study abroad.
Having brought all the materials of going abroad back, Emily sat in the car but was silent.
She had been looking forward to going abroad and finally she was able to do it, but she was upset.
Not because of her friends, not her parents, but Leo who had decided to give up on her.
As Emily was torturing herself, Leo sent her a message.
"The formalities for going abroad should have been received. Sorry, I did dirty means on your
formalities. I asked my friend to refuse your application to study abroad with various reasons. I'm sorry I
delayed it so long. It will never happen again. May you be happy."
After reading Leo's message, Emily felt wronged and cried.
Men were so fickle. Lying in her bed he said he loved her and then he gave up. Now it went even
further, wishing her happiness.
How could she be happy if she lost the one she most loved?
"Leo, you bastard, you used dirty means to prevent me going abroad, why can't you do it thoroughly?
Why don’t you insist? Why quit in the middle of the way? Why hurt my heart again?"
"You asshole. You're a big asshole."
Emily sat in the car scolding Leo, blaming Leo, resenting Leo, also crying loudly.
This was the first time she cried sadly when she was sober after breaking up with Leo, the first time she
felt it become a fact, the first time she felt she and Leo became strangers.
Their destiny was over.
Emily was lying on the steering wheel crying...
Leo did not feel better than Emily. He had not closed his eyes and slept for a moment since the night
before, even under the influence of alcohol.
Back to the villa, standing by the bedroom window, he looked outside at the night. This morning he
came to the company, and stood in front of the window in a daze.
It was not until he received a call from a friend saying that Emily's study abroad documents had been
taken away that he edited a message and sent it to Emily.
If he gave up on the spur of the moment last night, he was serious now.
This message had been sent out, but Leo still looked at it in a daze.
Last night, he drank too much, but he realized his inferiority.
Emily's attitude let him find out that his own selfishness had seriously affected Emily's quiet life. How
could be it love if it had been loathed?
All people said that if you loved her, let her be happy, Emily's happiness was to stay away from him, not
to be disturbed by him, to study abroad.
Since these were Emily's happiness, he was willing to help her and bless her.
But there was one thing he needed to bear by himself, that was to bear the loss of Emily and to
manage his painful heart.
It seemed to be difficult, more difficult to win a kingdom.
