Winnie felt she had made herself clear and she just repeated it, but Stefan seemed that she had not
heard it.
In that case she had to be decisive and repeat herself.
"I don't like you, even if you insisted and waist your whole life on me, we still can not be together."
"Think about it, don't embarrass yourself."
"I still have thing to do, I gotta go."
Winnie said in one breath and directly hung up the phone.
She knew Stefan would be sad to hear that, but it was better than his efforts was in vain.
Winnie had nothing to say to Stefan, only hoped he could understand as soon as possible, so that they
could be friends.
Stefan was really sad. Thinking of Winnie’s words, he felt heartache.
He liked Winnie but Winnie did not like him. He did not want to give Winnie burden, but he could not get
over Winnie.
A day had passed, but Emily was at work today, her mother could only wait for her to come back.
Her mother was worried. Leo did not know it, if Emily told Leo, he would know it today.
So her mother made a call to Leo and asked him to come to her place.
In the kitchen, they were getting the dinner ready.
“You had been here recently, I miss you.”
Emily’s mother asked while cooking.
“Emily did not allow me to come, I dare not come if you had not called me.”
Leo explained and he felt sad about it.
“I don’t know what she is thinking.”
Emily’s mother said, but she knew that Emily did not allow Leo to come was because Emily had not yet
made up her mind.
“I don’t know why she refused to see me and to answer my phone recently. And even when she
answered the phone, she had a hot temper.”
“Christine, do you know what happened to her? Let me know if she needs help, I will offer help.”
Leo tried to get to know the reason from Emily’s mother. He was confused and worried about Emily.
He had asked Emily, but Emily did not talk to him, so he asked her mother.
“Don’t worry, Leo, Emily will be fine.”
Seeing that Leo was worried, Emily’s mother wanted to tell him that Emily was pregnant, but Emily said
she would tell Leo himself, so she had to hold back.
Leo guessed something from her tone and knew that she must know something, but why she tried to
hide it from him?
“I am really worried. Our relationship got improved, but she was suddenly cold to me, which makes me
nervous.”
Leo said, he hoped that Emily’s mother would leak some information to him, so that he could adjust his
plan.
“Don’t worry, Leo. I promise that Emily will marry you and you will soon call me Mom.”
Emily’s mother said happily, which was a best answer to Leo. If she had not promised Emily, she would
have told the truth. It was quite torturing to keep happy thing a secret.
“I am confused, Christine.”
Leo dare not believe it due to Emily’s attitude.
“You just need to wait to marry Emily.”
Emily’s mother felt she would tell him the truth if it went on.
“Leo, watch the food in the pot, I have to get some light food and cook some porridge.”
Then she gave her position to Leo and then got some vegetables.
“Christine, it is too much, you don’t have to get some light food.”
Leo said. He did not know who the light food was for.
“Someone can’t eat oil food, but only light food.”
As her voice fell, Emily and her father got home.
“Charles, Emily, you are back.”
“Leo, you are here. If I have known you are here, I would have bought something good.”
Emily’s father was happy to see Leo, but Emily got nervous.
Today was the deadline. It must be her mother called Leo here, so she had to tell him that she was
pregnant.
“What are you doing here?”
Emily asked with displeasure and wanted to drive Leo away.
“I..”
“What is your attitude? I called him here.”
“Leo, come and help me with the food, leave her alone.”
Emily’s mother said. She was upset that Emily treated Leo with that attitude. When she turned to the
kitchen, she gave a glance at Emily.
“You do have a problem in your attitude. It is normal that Leo comes.”
“Dad, I go upstairs to change my clothes.”
Emily was annoyed now and did not want to listen to anyone, so she interrupted her father and went
back to her room.
The dinner was soon ready. Emily’s mother place the light food and porridge in front of the seat of
Emily and then went upstairs to call Emily.
She wanted to warn Emily so that Leo would not be awkward.
“Talk to Leo politely. Did Leo force you to get pregnant? If you were not willing to, will you be
pregnant?”
“Be gentle at the table. If you don’t want to say a word, don’t say it.”
Emily’s mother said seriously.
“I have no appetite to eat, so you eat with Leo.”
Emily was angry that her mother called Leo to come when she was not ready.
“You have to eat, Leo cooked for you. Go down, or I will tell Leo you are pregnant.”
Emily’s mother knew Emily’s temper. Emily was stubborn, so she had to threaten her.
“Mom,you are boring.”
Emily did not know what to say.
"Mom, just give me one more day. Tomorrow, I will talk to Leo about it."
Emily suddenly changed her strategy and began to intercede. She wanted to delay it and she got one
more day to think about it.
"You will do nothing even if I'll give you ten days. Fix it today and you don’t have to worry any more. If
you're in a bad mood and get something in your mind, it has a big impact on your child."
"You choose, go down or let Leo come up to you."
It seemed that Emily's plea was not useful, her mother did not give her time but urged.
"All right, I'll go down to dinner."
Emily had a feeling of no place to hide, as if three people were attacking her.
Emily and her mother went downstairs for dinner. Emily felt uneasy and wanted to ask Leo to leave by
saying harsh words, but she was afraid of her mother and father would scold her.
She was silent during the meal.
After dinner, Emily’s mother called everyone to the living room and sat down. Emily was no exception
forced to sit down, but she was nervous.
"It was I who called Leo here today. Charles was also asked to come back. I have called you all here
because I have something important to say."
Emily’s mother began the topic in a formal and rigorous way.
"What's wrong with you? What makes you so serious?"
Emily's father said with a smile, it was his first time to see his wife host a family meeting seriously.
"Just stay back and wait for the good news."
Emily’s mother could not help but smiling.
"All right."
Although Emily's father didn't know what was going on, he still cooperated with Emily’s mother.
"Not me, it is Emily to say it."
Emily’s mother looked at Emily's father, and then at Emily.
"Emily, say it."
Emily’s mother was anxious and wanted to say it for Emily.
"Mom, this is between Leo and me. I will talk alone with Leo."
Emily said and got up, then wanted to take Leo to leave, but her mother knew her trick.
"Sit down and don't play tricks with me. This is your deadline, and I will speak for you if you take a step
forward."
Emily’s mother said directly. She wanted to fix it as soon as possible, the longer the delay, the more
torture it was.
It was torture to Leo and Emily, their friends and the parents. Why didn’t she just say it, so that
everyone's minds got settled?
"Mother, you are imposing."
Emily could only sit back to the original position.
Emily was helpless and panic in face of her mother, even she was not sure her insistence was right or
wrong.
