Manson’s car stopped halfway because Henry was here.
“I’ll send her back.” Henry got off and came to Emily.
Henry was clean and handsome. It made Mason feel ashamed.
“Emily!” Manson looked at Emily who was about to get out of the car.
Manson wanted to be the one who sent her back, but he was afraid that forcefully doing so would make Emily hate him more.
“I still have to go back to the Sharp Group. I can stop by with Henry.”
Emily explained to Manson.
Though her impression of Manson had changed a great deal, they met for only one evening. There was still no way to change her feelings about Manson.
Manson knew that Emily hated him. It was because he had gone too far before.
He didn’t know how to make up for it so that Emily could change her view.
Seeing Emily got off the car, Manson immediately followed her.
“Young Master Manson, is there anything else?”
“I … can I see you again?” Manson was a little nervous, but he was unwilling to miss the chance.
Emily looked at Henry and suddenly said, “I have something to say to Young Master Manson.”
Henry pursed his lips, nodded, and returned to the car to wait.
Manson immediately became nervous. Was she going to refuse him?
Or was she willing to give him a chance?
Without waiting for Emily to speak, Manson said, “I will change! Really! Trust me!”
“Actually, whether you would change or not has nothing to do with me.”
Truth would hurt people, but Emily believed that deception would do the greater harm.
Since she didn’t want to lie, it was better to get straight to the point.
“I came to see you tonight because your mother came to make a deal with me, and I agreed.”
“A deal?” Manson was a little panic.
“Yes. She agreed to some of my requests, so I promised her something.”
Manson felt that his heart had been torn apart.
He raised his head, looking at the horizon. There were no clouds in the night sky, and the stars were sparse. He felt lonely.
“What did you promise her?” he suddenly asked.
“During this period of time, I’ll try to have dinner with you every day.”
“For how long?” Manson believed in her sincerity. “Try” meant that as long as she was free, she would accompany him.
Emily stared at him. Two seconds later, she replied, “Seven days.”
Manson let out a long sigh. He lowered his head and gazed her face.
“It’s a week then. Maybe there’s still a chance to change your opinion.”
Manson smiled. It was the first time he realized that his mother cared so much for him.
As for what Sarah promised her, Emily didn’t say anything and Manson didn’t want to ask.
Everyone had his or her own secrets. There was no need to keep digging.
“Alright, I’ll pick you up from school tomorrow.” Manson smiled. He finally relaxed.
“Get in the car. It’s getting late.”
Manson took the initiative to open the door for Emily.
Before Emily got in the car, she couldn’t help but said, “I won’t agree to be your girlfriend anyhow.”
Although it was a bit cruel, it was truth.
“You should grateful for having a good mother. Your mother always tries her best to get what you want. She really loves you.”
However, no one could tell whether this kind of doting was good or bad for Manson.
Manson was domineering and Sarah had a lot of responsibility for it.
