Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 75

It was a strange number but the person on the other side asked a question like this without any hesitation. So I knew the first second that it was Teresa.

I lowered my head and replied, "Teresa, you're still sneaky as before. Whether it's Benjamin or Zack, you're always using your own way to force them."

Soon, she received a text message: "Do I need to force Benjamin?"

Oh, no, she really didn't need to.

I blocked this number.

I got up and went to the police station after washing up. Bob saw me and said with a smile, "Zack has decided to go back to City B before summer comes."

"Who's going with him?" I asked nervously.

"You and me!" Bob smiled. "And September. The procedures have come through already."

"When are we leaving?" I asked.

Bob explained, "You and I can leave whenever we want but Zack's probably gonna have to hand over the tasks at hand. Maybe a week later or so."

I was very grateful to Zack.

He had always been following me, wherever I was.

When I went back to the neighborhood that night, I met Steve. I looked at him in surprise. He hesitated for a moment and explained to me, "Em, I needed to come back to this place to do something... I wanted to see you."

"Why?" I asked with a smile.

"Em, I'm sorry that I..."

I spread out my hands to stop her. "Stop! I don't want to share your nostalgia. Get lost"

Hearing my words, Steve said in a flustered tone, "Em, I missed you very much in the past four months when I was in Eburgh."

I looked at him and said blandly, "Steve, you know my temper. When I say it's over, it's over."

That's exactly what I thought of the relationship between me and Benjamin.

I cut it off completely, no more strings attached.

"Em..." he muttered incomprehensibly to himself.

I bypassed him and left. I never saw Steve again for the rest of my life.

I went back to the apartment and took a hot bath. Then I wrapped myself in a white bathrobe and went to the balcony. I took my cell phone and found Benjamin's number. After I looked at it for a long time, I deleted it.

But then I felt it was not enough and then I blocked his number along with Victoria's.

I lay on the couch and felt a little helpless. Then I suddenly remembered the low voice from last night. "Did I make you sad?"

And then those indifferent words, "But I can't be with two women at the same time. Emma...you know what I mean."

I knew it. He had chosen her.

I knew that she was the one he loved.

Just like Steve loved Charlotte back then, I had always been the woman who failed. I felt wronged, embarrassed, and uncomfortable, but I still refused to admit defeat.

So what if I admitted? Admitting defeat just made them look down on me even more!

I took the initiative to call Joel. He was a little surprised and asked, "Emma, what happened?"

I asked injuredly, "Joel, we are brother and sister, right?"

"Emma, you are my only little sister, the second heir of the Shears family, and our grandpa's only granddaughter."

I could hear the implications in his words. I'd only be his sister if I were to return to the Shears family, I said sadly, "Joel, both your and my relationship seem to be very complicated. Yesterday, I was divorced again."

I went through two failed marriages.

I was a complete mess. I wanted to fight for a better life for myself but couldn't.

"With Benjamin?" It seemed that Joel didn't want to talk about him anymore. He comforted me in a cold tone, "I got you, Emma, don't worry. The Shears family got you."

I bit my lips and said, "But I don't dare to go back to you."

"Emma, you are the only granddaughter of the Shears family, so whether you're willing to come back or not, you're still a member of the family."

"Grandpa..." I muttered to myself.

"Grandpa has never treated you as an outsider," said Joel in a soft voice, "Em, I'll come and pick you up."

That's something Benjamin also used to say to me.

However, everything that happened in the past was nothing but a pile of ashes to me.

I had a marriage and a child, but in the end, I couldn't keep him.

Since I couldn't keep him, the only way was to let him go.

When Joel came to my apartment that night, he held me in his arms and said softly, "If you want to cry, cry. I'll stay here with you."

That night, I cried very depressedly. I thought it was great to have an elder brother! At least I could vent my sadness without hesitation!

In the early morning, Joel packed up my luggage and said, "You said that your flight back to City B at 9 o'clock in the morning was with September."

"Yeah." I sat on the bed and said wearily, "I'll leave in a minute."

Joel asked, "Why is she also going over there?"

"For an investigation... About the Heaney family, I think." I hesitated for a moment and said, "September intends to have the baby there."

"Thank you, Em."Joel closed up the case for me, sat beside me, and said in a hoarse voice, "She hates me now."

I said, "Well, I know."
