Chapter 348 You Donât Have to Be Responsible âWhat happened? Arenât you the clearest? Why are you pretending to be innocent here?â
Emily gritted her teeth and roared. She forcefully pushed Lucas away from her. Lucas was caught off guard and was directly pushed back two steps, crashing into the wall.
He stared at Emily blankly, unable to react.
Emily glared at him, her tears gradually blurring her vision. She said angrily, âYou clearly knew the truth long ago. Why didnât you confess to me? No wonder when I asked you to investigate the whereabouts of the childrenâs father, you said that there was no result. Lucas, is it so fun to lie to me? Is it fun to watch me struggle alone?â When these words came out, Lucas finally came back to his senses and realized the reason why Emily was not right these days. âDid Chase Smith tell you this?â He asked in a hoarse voice.
Apart from Chase Smith, he couldnât think of anyone else.
After all, the only person that Emily had met alone was that woman.
âYes, she told me. If not for her, Iâm afraid I would have been fooled by you forever!â Emily did not deny it. When Lucas saw this, he couldnât help but reveal a bitter smile. In fact, during these past few days, when he had been alienated by Emily, he had had a faint guess. Now that his guess had been confirmed, he felt relieved but more uneasy.
D âI didnât want to hide it from you. I just didnât know how to tell you, so I didnât say it.â Lucas tried to speak up for himself. He looked at Emily sincerely. âI know what you have experienced in the past five years. Even if you once told me that the reason you wanted to find the father was that the children needed a father. I hope that you and the children can accept me from the bottom of your hearts, not just because of the blood bond. I want to make up for you!â Unfortunately, Emily could not listen to him at all.
The anger of being deceived and the scars of the past made Emily unable to control her emotions.
âWho cares about your compensation? You donât have to make it sound so nice. If you really want to make it up, you should have told me immediately after you found out the truth of the matter!â Emily stared at Lucas with resentment. She gnashed her teeth and said, âDonât worry. Although I am not capable, I have raised my children by myself in these years. You donât need to be responsible anymore. From now on, you better not appear in front of me and the children!â After saying this, Emily turned around and wanted to leave.
How could Lucas let her leave like this? He knew very well that if he let Emily leave like this today, it would be even more difficult for him to explain this matter clearly and get Emilyâs forgiveness. âDonât go, listen to me!â, Lucas once again grabbed Emilyâs wrist and forcefully pulled her back. Perhaps because he used too much force, Emily lost her balance and directly fell into his arms.
Seeing this, Lucas simply took the opportunity to hug her. When Emily smelled the unique aura of the man, she was stunned for a moment and struggled to get up, âLet me go!â Unfortunately, no matter how much she struggled, the hand that held her was like an iron pincer, making it impossible for her to break free. In the end, she really had no choice but to glare at him with red eyes. âLucas, what exactly do you want?â âAs long as you calm down and listen to me, I promise to let you go in a while.â Compared to Emilyâs exasperation, Lucas appeared calm. Emily glared at him angrily, her eyes full of viciousness. âIf you donât say anything, Iâll take it as a yes.â Lucas looked at her with eyes full of love and helplessness. After he finished speaking, he paused. When Emily saw this, she snorted coldly and turned her head away, looking as if she did not want to pay any attention to Lucas.
Lucas did not care and spoke to himself.
âI have never thought of being irresponsible, nor have I ever felt that this matter was difficult. If I really had such an idea, I would have stopped interacting with you after knowing the truth of the matter. Every day after work, as long as I have time, I will come to visit them, and you.â
a little.
Even though she was only a little better, Lucas still noticed it. He continued, âAs for why I didnât tell you about this, I just said that I really donât know how to tell you. You are the biggest victim in this matter. You even lost your closest relative because of this matter. So I was afraid that you would vent your anger on me and hate me. I didnât dare to gamble, so I just wanted to slowly make you accept me and then confess these things to you.â
Hearing this, Emily looked at Lucas with a complicated expression.
In fact, there was one thing that this man had said that was right.
In the past, she had hated the man who had ruined her innocence. If not for that man, everything else wouldnât have happened.
But now... she understood.
That man was actually the same as her, a victim. What she should hate should be the mastermind behind that incident.
