Henry had a premonition.
Although he didn’t know why he had such thoughts, when Emily came out and could return home innocently, Henry had a strange feeling of unease.
“He went for you, didn’t he?” Henry should have thought of that.
Apart from Hunter, who else could let Wendy withdraw the charges? Who else could make her leave the police office and return to her own place?
“What did you promise him? He wants you to return to him?”
“Isn’t that what I’ve always wanted?”
Emily gently pushed him and smiled.
“Actually, I was his woman. When we were on the island, I pretended to be with you and left him. That was also for the sake of Hunter.”
“Now, we’ve settled our differences. He’s willing to be with me again. Isn’t that a perfect ending?”
Henry couldn’t refute Emily’s words.
It was originally the perfect result for them to be together again.
There was nothing wrong.
But why was Henry so uncomfortable and uneasy?
“Are you sure that he really wants to be with you again?”
Henry didn’t know what he was thinking. He wanted her to say yes because he wanted to see her happy.
However, he also hoped that Emily could say no. In that way, Henry at least had a chance!
Emily did not answer this question directly. She just looked at him and gently pushed away his hand that was holding her shoulder.
“Henry, we are friends. You are my best friend.”
“Just friends?” Henry felt a little disappointed.
“Didn’t you want to help Hunter and me from the beginning?”
She knew that these words were very annoying. But in the relationship among three people, there would always be someone who would get hurt.
Hunter would not let himself be injured. If he was injured, he would hurt the others.
Hunter would let everyone go to hell and die with him!
So, Emily chose to hurt Henry?
“Sorry, I thought you were helping me.”
Emily’s expression became a little cold, as if she was very disappointed.
The disappointed look in Emily’s eyes was like a sharp knife that fiercely stabbed into Henry’s heart.
“I … I want to help you.” He suddenly wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t because he felt bitter.
“Thank you.” Emily didn’t seem to see the pain in his eyes.
After smiling gently at him, Emily continued to pack her things.
“He will come to pick me up soon. I still have to go back to my apartment to clean up.”
“Henry, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have survived these days.”
“But now, we finally see rainbows after the rain. Hunter has forgiven me and made up with me. We will be fine in the future. You don’t need to worry.”
Emily turned her face away and walked out with her luggage bag. Her eyes were dry and she was suffering.
Henry looked at her slender figure. Emily walked towards the door step by step.
He even forgot to help her carry the luggage.
He had also forgotten to open the door for her so that she could walk freely.
Henry had forgotten everything. His heart was broken from the moment she decided to leave him.
Emily’s hand landed on the handle of the door. Her breathing was very irregular and wanted to cry.
“I’m leaving. I’ll contact you later.”
She decided not to look back. If she did so, her tears might fall and her voice might become hoarse.
She couldn’t turn around.
She twisted the handle of the door.
The man rushed over and hugged her tightly from behind before she opened the door.
“Don’t leave me … please? Can you stay?”
Emily was standing still. She did not say a word, nor did she turn around to look at Henry.
Henry buried his face on her neck. Her neck was chilly, just like his face.
