The appearance of Emma, from beginning to end, might be a fraud.
"Zack, I thought she would stay abroad for the rest of her life after I knew it."
Lyman said in a low voice. "So I didn't mean to hide it from you."
There was another reason why Lyman kept Zack in the dark, because he didn't want to hurt Zack.
Although Zack looked cold and silent, he could accept to be in a relationship with Emma when he had torn himself apart from his family, which meant that he had really fallen in love with her.
No one could accept such a bloody fact after the true color of their first love was revealed.
"I see."
Said Zack indifferently. "Thank you, Lyman."
Zack seldom expressed his gratitude, and he naturally knew that Lyman concealed it for his own good.
"Zack, are you okay?"
Lyman asked worriedly, "Do you need to drink with me?"
"No need."
Zack said in a low voice. "So many years have passed. I just want to know the truth."
Now that the fact was clear, he didn't think too much.
"Okay."
Lyman answered cautiously and couldn't help asking, "By the way, why did Luca suddenly mention this to you?"
Luca didn't do things without any purpose. Did he have any plans?
"He did it out of kindness."
Zack's mouth crinkled into a smile. "But this guy is too virtuous. He doesn't want to talk to me nicely."
"Well, that's how he is!"
Lyman said and continued, "Well, I have to hang up now. I have to have some night snacks with Sofia!"
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Zack fell into a thought coldly again.
Downstairs.
After talking with Zack, Luca sat on the sofa and played games with a cold face.
When Daryl came back with Benjamin and saw Luca like this, she walked up to him and asked with concern.
"Luca, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
"No."
Seeing that Daryl sat beside him, Luca put down the game controller in his hand and replied sulkily.
"Luca, did you lose in the game just now?"
Benjamin sat on the other side of Luca and asked.
Luca rubbed Benjamin's head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could I lose?"
"Then why do you look like someone owes you eight million, Luca?"
Daryl smiled and touched his head. "Tell me, what's wrong with you?”
"Nothing."
Luca looked at her and finally said, "Daryl, go upstairs to accompany Zack."
"What?"
Daryl doubted if she had heard it wrong. Was Luca asking her to accompany Zack?
Luca disliked Zack a lot. Why did he say something like that?
But wait a minute, Daryl realized and asked again.
"What's wrong with Zack? What happened to him?"
"Nothing."
Luca repeated the same answer.
Daryl had no choice but to compromise. Luca still kept her in the dark.
"Well, I'll go upstairs first."
Then she stood up and went upstairs.
At this time, Zack was still in the study.
Daryl wandered around the bedroom but didn't find him. She thought he should be working in the study, so she went downstairs to the kitchen to get some desserts and drinks. Then she went upstairs again.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
She came to the study and knocked on the door seriously.
