She grabbed Clara’s wrist tightly. “What about now? What if Elio tells you now that he wants you to be his woman?”
I’m already married to Emmell, I can’t betray him! Unless Emmett stops loving me, or he betrays me first” Clara’s face was full of resolve, “We haven’t spent much time together, so you probably don’t know me welll I want a simple life, I don’t want to owe anyone anything, and I don’t do anything to hurt anyone! I hope I can live without guilt and die without regrets.”
“I get you” Leah gently patted her hand. “If you ever need help with anything, don’t hesitate to ask me! I’ll do whatever I can to help you!”
“Thank you” Clara smiled, “We met again in this country, maybe we’re destined to be good friends! As long as you don’t hate me.”
“Of course, I won’t! It’s always better to have more friends than being alone in a foreign country! Plus, we share the same last name, maybe we were sisters in our past lives! Leah stepped forward and hugged Clara tightly.
Behind Clara’s back where she couldn’t see, Leah smirked a weird smile..
At the Milburn family’s villa abroad.
Today was the old man’s birthday, so almost all the descendants of the Milburn family would be here,
Elio didn’t really want to come, but he had to.
He went to the banquet hall and found a seat.
He sat there drinking alone, no one could tell what he was thinking.
Suddenly, someone came over and tapped his shoulder!
“Why are you sitting here all by yourself? Come on, let’s have a few drinks!”
Elio looked up, it was Aaron Calloway, Leah’s father.
“I’m not a drinker.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Don’t be so modest, we don’t have to get drunk! Just have a chat.” Aaron pulled up a chair and sat down, “Do you know my daughter went back to our home country?”
Elio glanced at him, “I know.”
“So why did she go back? You told her you needed help with something, she went, and when she came back, she said she wanted to go back to our home country, and asked me to hand over the domestic trade work to her! I really don’t know what this kid is thinking.”
Elio frowned.
He had always thought that Leah went back home for Emmett.
But Clara didn’t think so, and Leah denied it!
“If you as her father don’t know, how would I know? Maybe she just thought home was better! There are more opportunities there.”
“If she had always wanted to go back, I wouldn’t be so puzzled, but she really didn’t like going back before! I’ve mentioned to her many times that 1 wanted to give her all the domestic affairs and let her go back to help me, but every time she refused me seriously, if I kept bringing it up, she would get very
angry!” Aaron shook his head, “I even thought she might have a boyfriend back home, but she didn’t dare to tell us! You, as her brother, might know.”
“You should know, Leah and I don’t usually hang out, I only contact her when I need her help, as for whether she has a boyfriend or not, she wouldn’t tell me! We’re just relatives, I don’t really know her well.”
