Chapter 1576
Emily blurted out immediately, “No, Kya isn’t his kid.”
“Then whose kid is she?”
With a stone-cold face, Emily answered, “I was raped when studying abroad in Oakdale City, and Kya was born
there.”
Shawn looked at Emily in shock. He suddenly squatted down, bursting into tears, “Emily, I’m so sorry, I really am.
You’ve had to bear so much suffering!”
Listening to Shawn’s crying, Emily felt a pang of pain in her heart and turned to look out the window.
As a kid, she saw her dad as a mountain, tall and mighty. She admired him, loved him, and thought he would always
protect her.
But over time, that mountain had long since collapsed, no longer resembling its former self.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReturning home today, she barely recognized him. He had aged considerably. He looked poor and miserable, and
he reminded her of the old clock abandoned in the yard when she was a kid, on the verge of decay.
But should she feel pity for him?
If he hadn’t gambled, they wouldn’t be in so much debt, he wouldn’t have had to sell the old house, and she
would’ve had a home.
They could’ve been a happy family. Despite the huge gap between her and Charlie, she could’ve pursued him with
courage and determination.
But now, she didn’t have the courage to approach Charlie anymore. With no support behind her, only endless
pressure, how could she possibly date him?
She had always known that her dad would show up sooner or later. He was like a ticking time bomb, ready to
explode and ruin everything she
had
And now, he had shown up.
For some reason, Emily felt relieved despite her sadness.
Maybe because she had been worried for too long, she couldn’t hold on any longer.
“Emily!” Shawn looked at her back and cautiously probed, “Are you dating Mr. James? Can you ask him to help me
find a job? He’s loaded. He can definitely help me!”
“No way!” Emily turned around, her eyes icy, “Mr. James and I are just boss and employee, don’t even think about
using him. If you dare approach him, I’ll quit my job immediately and take Kya away from J City.”
“No, no!” Shawn quickly said, “I was just asking. If you disagree, that’s fine, no need to get angry.”
With a flattering smile, he said, “Emily, you must be tired from work. I’ll cook you a few dishes tonight. Try your
dad’s cooking”
Then Shawn exited the room
Emily sat on the bed, her mind a mess. How was she supposed to handle Shawn?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe used to gamble without giving a danan, and he wouldn’t have changed his ways so easily. She should kick him
out firmly, but seeing him talk to her so cautiously, looking so old and helpless, she couldn’t bear it.
Her phone suddenly rang It was a message from Charlie [‘ll be home late, wait for me]
Emily’s heart skipped a beat She took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied (Estelle’s staying here tonight, it’s
best if you don’t come
Charle Jisn’t Jonathan with her?]
Emily Maybe
(Then you should rest early
After she read the message Emily’s phone slipped from her hand and landed on the bed it made her realize that
her relationship with Charlie had indeed came to all end
