Michael left. He was so sad at that moment.
Wesley cleared his throat and said, “I seem to know something important.”
I waved the key in my hand and said, “Thank you for bringing it to me, but I don’t need it
now.”
That day, the key was left in his car. Today, he found it and sent it back to me. But I didn’t expect that Michael would suddenly come to me.
Wesley didn’t say anything but looked down at me.
He had a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak, just like Gilbert.
“Emma, do I really look like the person in your heart?”
His low voice clear and pleasing, making me in a trance for a moment.
I didn’t answer him. I just smiled at him, but he seemed to understand what I meant.
“No wonder you always look at me like that. I have thought about it for a long time and I thought that I had once hurt you.”
Hearing his words, I smiled and said nothing.
Before leaving, he suddenly asked me, “You have divorced. Can you consider to be with me? I’m still single.”
I was stunned. I was surprised to hear that.
He just saw my failed marriage and knew so much about my past. But he still had such a thought.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that I was not that bad.
I just took the wrong path.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t hold a dead person. Even if his heart beat in someone else’s body, it was not him anymore.
But I knew such a thing after I suffered losses.
“Thank you, Wesley.”
I thanked him sincerely and refused him frankly.
Chapter 18–No
“You are good, but it’s unfair to you.”
Lowering his head, Wesley smiled with regret.
“It seems that I have been refused.”
“You are so handsome. One day, you will meet a girl who loves you so much.”
But it couldn’t be me.
Because I wanted to say goodbye to the past.
Not only Michael.
Since that day, I hadn’t seen Michael or Wesley.
I had never heard anything about them.
My life was back on track.
One day, I just finished an operation. When I walked out of the hospital, I saw Michael.
The sunshine in the afternoon was th
and the warm light shone on him.
He just stood there quietly. His eyes were clear and he was handsome.
Seeing me, he walked up to me hesitantly.
“Emma, the company’s business is expanding. I’m going abroad.”
I was calm to hear it. But I was curious why he told me.
“I may not come back in the future.”
“Have a nice future.”
I could only say so. I didn’t think that we needed to say goodbye to each other. I didn’t know why he still wanted to tell it to me.
“Emma.”
When I was about to leave, Michael stopped me again.
I didn’t turn around. I just stopped and waited impatiently for his words.
After a long time, I heard his bitter voice.
“Take care of yourself. Don’t make me worry.”
Worried?
Was it necessary?
It was hard to tell who owed whom.
Just then, I saw Harper rushing madly towards me with a dagger in her hand.
When I realized what she was going to do, it was too late for me to hide.
The moment she stabbed me with the dagger, I closed my eyes obediently.
However, I didn’t feel the pain as I had expected. Instead, I was held in a warm embrace.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Michael‘s painful face. I also saw the blood on my palms.
Michael blocked the attack for me.
