Emma turned aside and forced her tears back to the eyes.
Ivan helped Kate stand up.
Kate showed surprise on her pale face.
Ivan's brow wrinkled deeply. Before he turned around, he was pulled by Kate.
Kate was in tears, making him distressed.
She yanked Ivan's wrist and tenderly said, “Ivan, I am fine, don't blame Emma......”
Hearing that, Emma sneered.
Ivan frowned more deeply. He turned to see Emma with loathing.
He broke his wrist free from Kate, put his hands on her shoulders and looked her up and down. Then he asked her, “Is there any injury?”
Kate bit her lower lip and shook her head, “I'm OK. Emma didn't do it on purpose.”
Ivan nodded and turned to Emma.
Until this moment, Emma did not feel that Ivan had really changed.
The way he looked at her was no longer serious, no longer doting, no longer indulgent.
She suddenly became an evil woman, and he was ready to scold her for the woman he loved.
Emma was hurtful, but she still raised her chin high and showed no weakness.
“Emma, you were not like this before...”
Upon hearing Ivan's words, Emma smiled ironically, “Are you still the person you used to be?”
Emma's rhetorical question made Ivan looked away.
Ivan lowered his head, fumbled for his cigarette case from his trouser pocket and lit a cigarette.
Kate behind him stood there, fixing her eyes on them with a paler face.
“Emma, whatever I did before, it was all my fault... I told you it has nothing to do with Kate. I you are angry, just vent you anger to me. Don't bully her again.”
Ivan’s deep voice was still pleasing to hear, but it was so strange that Emma felt incredible.
“I bullied her?!”
Emma felt wronged.
Her boyfriend was robbed, and not it became her fault!
Ivan took a hard puff of the cigarette and then flicked it off. It fell to the snow, with a slight noise, the cigarette end put out.
It was like Emma's mood at the moment. The residual heat became cold.
Ivan turned to Kate and gently held her in his arms. “Kate, let's go,” he said.
“Ivan!”
Standing behind, Emma finally could not help but stopped him.
Ivan and Kate turned around at the same time, his arm was still on Kate's shoulder.
...
Emma's line of sight became blurred and she could not see clearly their expressions.
“If a year ago, I chose to go back with you, would you be with her?” Emma clenched her teeth and asked.
Ivan was silent for a moment, but his line of sight was on Kate's face.
They affectionately looked at each other and he said finally.
He said, “Emma, if the feelings for you before is called I like you, then now, my feeling for Kate is undoubtedly love, I love her...”
