A Miracle Fault novel Chapter 57

And now there was nothing more she could possibly give him. She gently removed his hand on her shoulder and smiled, "Antonio, yes. I'm back, I'm sorry."

She was sorry that she left without saying goodbye, and she was sorry that she couldn't give him any hope from now on.

"Don't say sorry. It's good that you're back." Antonio took her small hand again, "You know, Emmeline, I almost left for America. I came to quit school today, but I didn't expect you to come back. God bless me, you finally showed up. Emmeline..."

He pulled the girl into his arms and hugged her with all his strength, "I've missed you so much. My heart is breaking!"

Emmeline stiffened and struggled to push Antonio away, "Antonio, listen to me ... these days I ..."

"It's okay!" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Antonio, "No matter where you've gone, it's good that you're back. You are the girl I want to protect in my life, and I won't lose you this time!"

He held her tightly, not giving her a chance to resist. Emmeline couldn't break his embrace and slowly gave up. She suddenly whispered loudly in his ear, "Antonio, let go of me. Listen to me, I'm married!"

Antonio's arms around her trembled violently, and then after a few seconds, he slowly let her go. Endless pain spread in his eyes. He had long investigated something, but he did not believe it was true.

"What are you saying? Emmeline, don't you lie to me. You're only twenty years old, and you're still in school. How can you possibly get married!" He laughed, and tears were welling up in his eyes.

"It's true. Antonio, I'm married. I married Master Stefan as a substitute for my sister. Antonio, I'm sorry. Promise me you'll have a good life. You are so young and handsome, and there will be a better girl for you in the future. I don't deserve you!" She looked into Antonio's desperate eyes and her heart throbbed with pain.

She knew it would hurt him, but she had to make a decision now.

Antonio looked at her in shock and his hands began to tremble, "What did you say, Emmeline? You married Stefan? No, it's not possible. How is it possible?"

It turned out that Ciara was Antonio's aunt and Stefan was his cousin. He knew that recently, in the Byrne family, his two cousins were fighting very hard for the Byrne Group.

He knew that the Byrne family and the Campbell family were united in marriage, and it was Anayah and Frank who were getting married. How did it become Emmeline and Stefan? This was totally impossible!

"Emmeline, that's not true. How can you marry Stefan, the man who has been on Soul Island for nine years? He is crippled and needs to be in a wheelchair. Emmeline, are you kidding!" He knew this was the truth, but he would never believe it.

Emmeline tightened her grip on his arm, "Antonio, calm down. It's true. For my father, I married into the Byrne family in place of my sister, and I'm now Stefan's wife. I'm sorry, Antonio, forget me!"

"How can I calm down? How can I forget you? Emmeline, why? Why did you marry that wheelchair guy? Why didn't you talk to me? Emmeline, you're my girlfriend. Why didn't you come to me? If I had known then, I wouldn't have let you do it."

Antonio lost control instantly. His eyes were red and his pain was heartbreaking.

It was the first time that Emmeline saw that Antonio was so desperate and anxious, so painful and remorseful.

She looked at him in a daze, and her heart ached, "Antonio, I'm sorry. I just want to make it clear to you today. Don't wait for me anymore. You go to America and forget about everything here."
