Chapter 408


    After finishing her sentence, X Quest headed directly upstairs.


    Buzz, buzz, buzz… Catherine Batton’s call came in again and distracted Stanley Batton right then.


    “What is it now?” Stanley said after picking up.


    “Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you want to y a game with me?”


    “No,” Stanley answered right away.


    After that, he ended the call and walked out the door.

    Meanwhile, in the Quest family’s vi, Emily Quest was ying with her phone in bed after calming


    herself down from feeling angry earlier.


    Beep, beep, beep… Suddenly, she received a call from Tom Sullivan.


    When she saw who was calling, her hand trembled slightly.

    These days, Tom had been calling her very frequently, and he always talked about getting a divorce.


    Despite rejecting him each time, Tom still called her back repeatedly. It seemed he was very


    determined about it.


    As usual, Emily immediately cancelled the call.


    She absolutely refused to get a divorce with Tom. Now, she had already lost too much. There’s no


    way she could allow herself to lose Tom too.


    Although Tom no longer had the same status as he did before, Emily believed that he would regain


    the glory of his former days sometime in the future.


    Emily wouldn’t easily let go of such a valuable husband so that other women could snatch him.


    Once Tom returned to the peak of his glory, Emily would be the one standing next to him.


    Right then, Tom sent her a Wechat message. “Come out and have a chat… I’m in front of your


    house. Don’t worry, it’s not about getting a divorce.”


    Emily immediately felt overjoyed.


    What could it be if it wasn’t about getting a divorce?


    Could he be here to patch things up with her? Did he remember the good times they had during the


    time they were apart? Did he realize he still loved her?


    Emily was ecstatic in that instant.


    She instantly let out a long sigh before quickly getting up and fixing her hair. After that, she tried her


    best to suppress the joy in her heart while pretending to appear depressed. With a frown on her


    face, she put on her shoes and walked down the stairs.


    Downstairs, May Conner and Jeremy Quest were seated while they drank tea.


    When Emily saw them, she immediately pretended to look even more depressed. With her head


    lowered, and her body seemingly drained of energy, she looked like a rose that would soon wilt


    away.


    Seeing his daughter this way made Jeremy’s heart wrenched in pain.


    “Emily, why are you down here?” Jeremy asked.


    Emily slowly looked up at Jeremy with a nk expression. “I want to take a walk outside.”


    “I’lle with you…” Jeremy said.


    “I want to be by myself for a while,” Emily said and shook her head.


    After that, she lowered her head again before hastily walking out. She didn’t even change her


    shoes.


    Jeremy was prepared to stop Emily but May grabbed him by his hand before he could do so. “Let


    her go out for a while. She’ll be fine…”


    “What if she loses control out there again?” Jeremy seemed worried.


    “She already ate her medicine at noon. Don’t worry. She’ll be fine,” May saidfortingly.


    Only then did Jeremy sit down. However, he was still very concerned.
