“Hm, I saw her grow up to be a mature woman now for these three years,” said Benjamin.
“You really love her, don’t you?” asked Janie gloomily.
“That’s right. She’s my soul, my mind, and my heart, but she’s not mine.”
Janie was surprised. She never thought that Benjamin loved Emmeline so deeply. She understood now, even if Benjamin dated her, she would never get his love. All of them belonged to Emmeline.
Benjamin smiled bitterly when he saw Janie’s expression, “Now you know it, do you still want to date me?”
Tears fell from Janie’s eyes.
“I know I’m not as good as Emmeline, but…” she wiped her tears and continued, “You’ll be my soul, mind ,and heart now. It doesn't matter if we dated or not.”
“Silly girl.”
When the both of them left the Imperial Palace, Benjamin was already tipsy.
He called his driver to send them back. After Janie got out of the car, she got in a cab and went to Emmeline’s cafe.
The cafe looked tidy without traces of a fight.
Emmeline and the triplets had their dinner. The triplets were doing their homework in the room while Emmeline stayed in the little garden.
The rain stopped and it was refreshing. The flowers and plants were watered by the rain. Some branches and remnants of flowers were beaten down by the wind and rain. Emmeline took the broom to clean them up.
Janie came up to her. Her face was still flushed and she was still tipsy.
“Janie?” Emmeline felt puzzled seeing Janie.
“Why are you here at this hour? Have you eaten dinner?”
"I ate a bit," She didn’t talk about going to the Imperial Palace to drink with Benjamin. After drinking wine, they ate some snacks.
Originally, she wanted to go to Benjamin's villa to cook dinner for him, but he refused.
