Mom, Please Marry Daddy novel Chapter 18

"John, don't go too far," Emily narrowed her eyes and gazed intensely at the man in front of her, a bleak and dangerous smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

John pushed his glasses again and said calmly, "I was entrusted to do something worthy of trust."

"You should know that I don't have to get these things." Raising her eyebrows, Emily played with her fingertips frivolously, full of pressure.

"I know. I have never doubted it. But I have the information you want to know, don't I?"

Emily's eyes changed slightly again. "I knew it!" Or why haven't she gotten any news in the past seven years? It was indeed arranged by that person. Only that person would see her so thoroughly and know what could be done to her.

"How long?"

"It depends on who you choose." When John opened the marriage certificate, there was a trace of surprise in his usual calm face, "It's him." He seemed rather surprised.

This surprise successfully amused Emily. "What do you think? My choice is not bad."

"This seems to be not a wise choice." John put a hand on his glasses.

"It seems that you have just watched the surface of things in the past few years."

Hearing what Emily said, John was stunned for a while. Then he regained his calm expression and said, "It seems that there is something hidden."

"Isn't this the time you want to verify?"

"A week."

"I hope you can find some clues," Emily smiled coquettishly. It took her half a month to investigate Brian. A week later, she wanted to see what the person in front of her could find. And John just lowered his head to deal with the document without saying anything more.

"Does Alice still act like that?" With a low voice, John's hand, who was signing the document, paused again. "Since she doesn't want to leave, there is nothing we can do. Do you want to persuade her?"

"Who do you think I am?"

"If you ask her to leave, she won't refuse." John answered seriously, as if what he said was not only about Alice Pei, but also himself.

"That's what she decided to do. Why should I stop her? She has been holding a glimmer of hope for so many years and it's not easy for me to break her insistence. If you can teach me how to do it."

"Do you hate him?" It was the first time that John had said this word after seven years. Although in the end, these words finally changed into a simple word, but they all knew clearly how serious the word was.

"Who knows if I should hate him for his indifference when leaving or love his considerate arrangement for me?" There was a slight bitterness overflowing from the bottom of Emily's eyes, which could not be swept away.

"He loves you very much." You was much heavier than himself.

"But he abandoned me, didn't he?"

John was speechless.
