Shit! Mason didn’t know it! Emma forgot that and flustered, "Dad, I..."
"Emma!"
"It's just... because of Elena, we were sad and got drunk. So ..."
Then she seemed unable to hold back her tears, "Dad, Jeremy and I are innocent. Why are you blaming us? It’s Elena’s fault!"
Mason couldn't deny it, and thus hugged his daughter and comforted her gently.
Jacob stood in silence. He heard their talking without any expression on his face. Then he turned away to get into the car as if nothing had happened.
Inside the house, the housekeeper looked at Elena up and down for a long time, "Miss Elena, you've got chubbier. You look much better than before."
Chubbier? Elena subconsciously touched her cheek and then turned to Logan.
Logan couldn’t help smiling, "That's pretty good."
"Why?"
"It feels better to hug you." the man smiled. She was so thin that he could feel her bones when he hugged her before.
Elena pretended to glare at him angrily, which caused him to widen the smile on his face.
At the moment, Emma supported Mason and they came in. She happened to see the happiness spreading across Elena's face and she felt disgusted at once. How could Elena smile so happily!
Married to a cripple, she was supposed to cry and beg to return to the Bush family. But now she was smiling?
"Dad, since you're not feeling well, maybe you should go to your room and have a rest." Elena didn’t want to see him fake illness and proposed.
Mason was irritated by her and ordered, "Elena, come to my room with me now. I have something for you."
Elena didn’t miss the complacent look on Emma's face. She hesitated for a moment and nodded her head, "OK."
In Mason’s room, both of them kept silent for a long time. Then Mason spoke first. He sighed, "Elena, how are you after marrying into the Brown family?"
"Fine." She replied without any feeling.
Mason frowned, "What about Jeremy?"
"That's all in the past and none of my business now. I'm married to Logan, not Jeremy."
"Elena! Haven't you even got an ounce of introspection all the time?" He got furious and stared at her. Elena was always so obedient in the past. But now she seemed to have changed and look so different.
Elena thought she wouldn’t care anymore, however, when she was scolded by Mason, she couldn't help feeling her heart hurt. She slowly took a breath and insisted, "I didn’t do anything wrong. You're the one who never listened to me!"
"That's enough!" Mason's face darkened, "I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
Really? If so, what was the point in bringing back those painful past?
