Chapter 57 I Won''t Lose You This Time


    And now there was nothing more she could possibly give him. She gently removed his hand on her


    shoulder and smiled, "Antonio, yes. I''m back, I''m sorry."


    She was sorry that she left without saying goodbye, and she was sorry that she couldn''t give him any


    hope from now on.


    "Don''t say sorry. It''s good that you''re back." Antonio took her small hand again, "You know, Emmeline, I


    almost left for America. I came to quit school today, but I didn''t expect you toe back. God bless


    me, you finally showed up. Emmeline..."


    He pulled the girl into his arms and hugged her with all his strength, "I''ve missed you so much. My


    heart is breaking!"


    Emmeline stiffened and struggled to push Antonio away, "Antonio, listen to me ... these days I ..."


    "It''s okay!" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Antonio, "No matter where you''ve


    gone, it''s good that you''re back. You are the girl I want to protect in my life, and I won''t lose you this


    time!"


    He held her tightly, not giving her a chance to resist. Emmeline couldn''t break his embrace and slowly


    gave up. She suddenly whispered loudly in his ear, "Antonio, let go of me. Listen to me, I''m married!"


    Antonio''s arms around her trembled violently, and then after a few seconds, he slowly let her go.


    Endless pain spread in his eyes. He had long investigated something, but he did not believe it was true.


    "What are you saying? Emmeline, don''t you lie to me. You''re only twenty years old, and you''re still in


    school. How can you possibly get married!" Heughed, and tears were welling up in his eyes.


    "It''s true. Antonio, I''m married. I married Master Stefan as a substitute for my sister. Antonio, I''m sorry.


    Promise me you''ll have a good life. You are so young and handsome, and there will be a better girl for


    you in the future. I don''t deserve you!" She looked into Antonio''s desperate eyes and her heart


    throbbed with pain.


    She knew it would hurt him, but she had to make a decision now.

    Antonio looked at her in shock and his hands began to tremble, "What did you say, Emmeline? You


    married Stefan? No, it''s not possible. How is it possible?"


    It turned out that Ciara was Antonio''s aunt and Stefan was his cousin. He knew that recently, in the


    Byrne family, his two cousins were fighting very hard for the Byrne Group.


    He knew that the Byrne family and the Campbell family were united in marriage, and it was Anayah and


    Frank who were getting married. How did it be Emmeline and Stefan? This was totally impossible!


    "Emmeline, that''s not true. How can you marry Stefan, the man who has been on Soul Ind for nine


    years? He is crippled and needs to be in a wheelchair. Emmeline, are you kidding!" He knew this was


    the truth, but he would never believe it.


    Emmeline tightened her grip on his arm, "Antonio, calm down. It''s true. For my father, I married into the


    Byrne family in ce of my sister, and I''m now Stefan''s wife. I''m sorry, Antonio, forget me!"


    "How can I calm down? How can I forget you? Emmeline, why? Why did you marry that wheelchair


    guy? Why didn''t you talk to me? Emmeline, you''re my girlfriend. Why didn''t youe to me? If I had


    known then, I wouldn''t have let you do it."


    Antonio lost control instantly. His eyes were red and his pain was heartbreaking.


    It was the first time that Emmeline saw that Antonio was so desperate and anxious, so painful and


    remorseful.


    She looked at him in a daze, and her heart ached, "Antonio, I''m sorry. I just want to make it clear to you


    today. Don''t wait for me anymore. You go to America and forget about everything here."


    After saying that, she opened the car door and ran back. She didn''t dare to stay longer, because she


    was afraid to see his sad and desperate look again.


    She ran to the roadside and hailed a cab and left the beach. By the time Antonio came after her, the


    car had already left.


    Emmeline went back to school. She didn''t attend the first ss. Seeing hering back, Agnes


    immediately went over to her, "Emmeline, how was it? Did you talk to Antonio?"


    Emmeline nodded and sat down in her seat. A momentter, the teacher of the second ss came in.


    In the whole morning, Emmeline was in a daze and didn''t listen to what the teacher was saying.


    When she and Agnes came to sit by the yground in the afternoon, Emmeline said to her, "I want


    Antonio to go to America immediately. It would probably be better for everyone. I don''t want to see him


    being abject."


    Agnes sighed, "Actually, Emmeline, my grandfather is in very poor health these days. My father said


    he''s been sent to the hospital for a checkup. He can''t get well because of the illness he got when he


    used to be a soldier."


    "He wants to see me marry hisrade''s grandson before he passes away. My father said he''d let me


    finish this semester and go to school in France." Agnes looked at the white clouds in the sky, was lost


    in thought.


    "No one in our family could disobey my grandpa. His words are like holy orders. I''m leaving for France


    in a month."


    Emmeline looked at her forlorn look, "What is the family name of your grandfather''srades? Why do


    you have to go to France? Don''t they live in X City?"


    "They do live in X City, but that grandfather''s oldest grandson is in France. His young grandson lives in


    X City. Grandpa is asking me to marry his oldest grandson, so I have to go to France."


    Speaking of this, Agnes felt sad. She had known from birth that she could not make decisions about


    her marriage.


    Emmeline took her hand, "Agnes, let''s cherish the time we have together. Even though we will be


    separated, one day we will see each other again."


    "Yes!" The two of them hugged each other tightly.


    After school, Emmeline said goodbye to Agnes and Lena and prepared to go back to Sweedal


    Residence.


    She had just walked to the road when she saw Antonioing this way. She stood there and watched


    Antonio stride towards her, "Emmeline,e with me. I want to talk to you." With that, he took her


    hand and walked towards the car.


    Emmeline looked at his angry face and pulled out her hand, "Antonio, I''ve made it very clear. Don''t do


    this. I''m going home."


    "Emmeline, how long are you going to lie to me? Stefan''s wife is your sister. I''ve already checked at the


    Civil Affairs Bureau and there is no information about your marriage." Antonio stopped her in


    exasperation.


    "..." He actually ran to check it.


    "Antonio, no matter what the result is, I have married into the Byrne family. I can''t leave the Byrne


    family for my dad''s sake," she said, afraid that Stefan would be furious again when he found out about


    it.


    Emmeline turned around and walked back. She had no choice but to stay in the vi unless Stefan


    would let her go.


    Emmeline had just taken a few steps when her wrist was grabbed by Antonio behind her, "Emmeline,


    you must have been forced. Don''t worry. I will tell Stefan to let you go. Let''s go, I''ll take you back with


    me to make it clear!"
