"If I love you, maybe I would have been with you a long time ago. Emma, you've known me for so long, so you should know that if we are really fated, we would have been in love long ago."
Cedric was right. If Cedric and Emma were really fated, even if Cedric met Joanna, he would be with Emma.
When Emma was Cedric's mistress, he only treated her as his sex partner, which showed that he didn't love her at all.
"Why... can't you fall in love with me? Why?" Emma knelt on the ground feebly and burst into tears.
Cedric stepped forward to take the knife away from Joanna's neck and then said to Emma in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Emma. It's my fault."
"We also have a child. Cedric, I gave birth to a child for you."
"I know. I'm sorry for what I did to you. If I didn't ask you to be my mistress in the past, you could live a happy life now." Cedric was very regretful for what he had done before.
He knelt in front of Emma, then said with guilt and self- blame, "Emma, it's my fault, but love is something that can't be explained. I fell in love with Joanna for no reason. I can't control this kind of feeling for her. You may say that Joanna is not worth my love. But it was because of me that she suffered all that. I'm sorry for you and her. If you can't let Kerr go until you kill someone, just kill me."
"No." Seeing that Cedric picked up the knife on the ground and wanted to commit suicide, Emma was frightened. She covered her eyes and muttered, "Cedric, I don't hate you, and I've never hated you. I'm just jealous crazily. I gave birth to a child for my husband. I remember everything now. My husband was very kind to me, and he didn't mind my past. We lived a happy life. But he died because of an accident, then my son died, too. I suffered a great blow and was immersed in my own thoughts. I thought that my child is yours. I'm so sorry."
Emma was incoherent when she said that.
Hearing Emma's words, Cedric looked at her with sad eyes.
"I'm the one who should say sorry, Emma. No matter what you want, I'll promise you."
"I... don't need anything. I know that I can't force you to love me. It's me... who asks too much. Your child is in the hidden compartment behind the wall. You can find him."
Looking at Cedric and Joanna, Emma said this and then left in a daze.
Joanna felt sad in her heart as she watched Emma leave.
She shouted, "Emma, thank you!"
Emma did not look back and soon disappeared from Joanna's sight.
When Cedric and Nacho found Kerr in the hidden compartment, he was not injured. Instead, he was sleeping soundly. Seeing that Kerr was fine, Joanna could no longer control her emotions. She hugged Kerr's body tightly and burst into tears.
"Kerr." Joanna held Kerr's soft body tightly and said with her face full of tears.
Seeing Joanna crying so sadly, Cedric put his arms around her waist and comforted her, "Don't cry, Kerr is safe. Well, let's go back now."
Joanna's eyes were filled with tears. She raised her head, looked at Cedric and nodded gently, "Okay. Let's go home."
Kerr rubbed his eyes and hugged Joanna's neck, "Mom, that aunt is not bad. She made a lot of delicious food for me."
"I know." Joanna said tenderly as she touched Kerr's soft hair.
Joanna knew that Emma had always been kind.
Since Kerr was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Mignon held Nacho's hand and leaned against his arms. When she saw how happy Joanna and Kerr were, she put her hand on her belly.
She was ready to be a mother, but she didn't know, when she would get pregnant.
Nacho didn't know Mignon was thinking about. Seeing that she put her hand on her belly, he was confused and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have a stomachache?"
Hearing this, Mignon was a little unhappy.
She raised her head and said, "Nacho, you are such a big fool."
Nacho was a good man, but he didn't know what Mignon was thinking about stupidly.
Hearing this, Nacho's face darkened slightly as he frowned. He looked at Mignon's unhappy face and didn't speak.
"Young Master Gu, this is the document for today's meeting." Sibyl put the document on Nacho's desk and glanced at Nacho.
She could work with Nacho because Nacho was so kind to her.
Nacho knew that Sibyl was very serious at work, so he made an exception to promote her to be his private secretary.
Nacho did not notice her gaze, but said faintly, "Okay, I see. We'll go to the Acalan Hotel for a meeting later, prepare for it."
"Okay." Just as Sibyl left the office, Nacho received a phone call from Mignon.
Mignon had been staying in the villa recently because she had nothing to do.
"Dear, what's wrong?" Nacho asked with gentleness.
Mignon was very clingy to him, like a spoiled child.
"Are you in the company now?" Holding the report in her hand, Mignon asked with an excited face.
She went to the hospital for an examination, and result showed that she was pregnant. The first thing she did when she returned to the villa was to tell Nacho about this Hearing this, Nacho gently raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I have to attend a meeting later."
