Emily said, "I'm not that clueless, ya know. You were covering for me just now; why would I blame you?"
Charlie took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have a thing for that guy, Martin?"
"Nah, not at all." Emily shook her head.
"Then how do you explain calling him your hubby? Did you really tell the Ferber family that Martin is your husband?"
Emily felt more and more embarrassed and had no choice but to spill the beans about what happened that day.
Charlie was both frustrated and angry, looking at Emily as if he were disappointed in her, his thin lips drawn into a tight line. "Emily, I thought you might be a bit of a pushover, but at least you had your principles."
He suddenly didn't know how to scold her and just turned his gaze out of the car window.
Emily's eyes dimmed, and she hooked up an ironic smile, saying, "Disappointed in me, huh? I can't just stand by and watch what's happening to the Sullivan family. My mom might be biased towards me now, but for the first twenty years of my life, she raised me, helped me grow up, put me through school, and took care of me. I wouldn't be here if not for those twenty years."
She lowered her head and whispered, "We come from different backgrounds; you may never understand the helplessness of ordinary families."
For a moment, both of them sat in the car without speaking. Emily stopped thinking about anything else. If the Ferber family was upset about this, she would apologize.
She didn't owe the Ferber family anything; she owed the Sullivan family!
"Let's go; we'll go to the supermarket and buy some ribs," Emily said softly.
