As soon as Emily heard the words "break up," she said, "No, don't do that. Couples will quarrel. That's quite normal. Isn't it hasty to break up just because you quarreled? You're just in a bad mood now. You see, no matter how badly Franklin treats me, I don't want to break up with him. Not at all."
"Hmph, that's because he's Mr. Brent. If Jason were like Mr. Brent, I won't want to break up with him." Lisa snorted.
Emily was afraid that she would really break up with Jason when seeing Lisa's expression. She thought they were a perfect match and didn't hope they break up.
"We're all in a bad mood now. Why don't we go out for a drink? Didn't people say drinks make them happy? If a man will get out to drink when he's unhappy, why can't a woman?" Emily suggested.
Lisa looked at her in surprise and said after a while, "Indeed women can get out for fun too. I used to get out for fun when I was unhappy. Haven't you done that before?"
She hadn't.
She used to be a good girl, and she didn't have much money. She had never been to bars or other entertainment places. Then she fell in love with Lucas and married Franklin and had a baby. So she had no chance at all.
Even though she drank a lot to please her clients, she drunk at the restaurants. She had never been to a bar before.
"Really?" Lisa exclaimed when seeing her expression.
Emily muttered, "It's not a big deal. There are many people who haven't been to a bar like me. It's not rare."
"Well, it's indeed rare in the 21st century," Lisa shook her head and said, "You've really taught me a lot."
"Lisa, I won't talk to you if you keep saying that." Emily's face turned red from her teasing words and she immediately glared at her.
Lisa smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll take you to the bar today. Let's drink together."
"Really?" Emily's eyes lit up.
Lisa said, "Of course. I won't lie to you. Let's go! We're both in a bad mood anyway. We can talk while drinking."
Emily nodded constantly. She had always been depressed for the past few years. When she was taking care of the child alone, she was helpless.
Now her child was no longer a little baby and had been away from her for, and she found that he was living a good life after leaving her. And Franklin was taking care of him, so she was relieved. She just wanted to find a place to relax now.
Lisa drove Emily out to a famous bar in the city.
But the bar was not open yet. Lisa parked the car and said to Emily, "Let's go eat something first, or we'll have a stomachache when we drink at night. When I was young, I can drink as much as I want. But now I'm afraid I'll vomit and hurt myself if I don't eat something first."
"Okay, I didn't eat either." Emily nodded.
Lisa took her to a nearby restaurant. They ordered some special dishes and chatted as they ate.
They talked about Lisa and Jason. Emily did not expect Jason to be so stubborn since he looked very gentle. And she insisted that Lisa had deliberately lied to Jason about Matthew's matter and hurt him. And that was why Cheng didn't even answer her calls.
