“Why did you agree Ivan to go with you, Emilia? Are you in love with him? First time in years that you depend on a man. Is he special enough for you?” Aston asked directly.
After a moment’s hesitation, Emilia answered, “To be honest, I don’t know what I feel about him. I trust him, maybe because of my illness. Well, you know, except you, I trust no man including my father. He’s special to me but I do not know why. I extremely trust him but I’m not sure if I have fell in love with him. I’m scared. I’m scared because I don’t know what I feel about him. I don’t want to break his heart. So, I’ve already talked with him today. I asked him not to waste time on me, but he didn’t agree. He said maybe someday he will fall in love with someone else. But before that day, he will make every endeavor to love me. But at that moment, I suddenly felt afraid. I’m afraid that he will love others one day. Am I too wicked?”
Aston comforted her gently, “Stop blaming yourself and follow your heart, Emilia. If you want to rely on him, you shouldn’t push him away. If you love him, you should tell him. Don’t retreat from love, don’t hide yourself. You think rejecting him is right for him, but in fact it hurts him the most. Why not give him a chance as well as yourself? Be brave, Emilia. Even if you get hurt, you can always come to me. I’ll protect you.” Aston said and his arms went around her gently. They grew up together and had a close relationship. They usually shared each other’s secret and grieves. They quarreled and compromised, but they could always lean on each other.
For a while, Emilia took a step back and asked, “How is Kayden, Aston? Do you think she will be with you?”
“Yes. I’m optimistic. Maybe I should try a little harder, but I’m not giving up on that. Don’t worry. I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to love her,” said Aston calmly.
That night, both Aston and Ivan didn’t leave the villa.
Georgia and Robert picked up their kids here to have a dinner together. When they went home, it was more than eight o’clock.
As soon as they got home, Annie asked, “How is Mother Vanessa, Mummy? Can I talk to her?” She missed Vanessa so much, for she had deep feelings for her Mother Vanessa.
“Not just yet, I fear. Trust me. It won’t take long for you to meet her again,” said Georgia softly.
“Really?” asked Annie suspiciously.
Georgia nodded earnestly.
“What Mummy said is true. We’re going to get Vanessa back and We are close to success,” said Robert.
“Daddy, Mummy didn’t lie to me this time, right?” Annie stared at Robert in disbelief, which almost broke Georgia’s heart. Her daughter no longer trusted her for she had cheated her before.
Robert squatted in front of Annie and took the little girl in his arms. “It is true, sweetheart, I promise. It won’t take a long time for you to meet Mother Vanessa again.”
