Chapter 148


    ra could already see the writing on the wall, she was going to be so wiped out she wouldn’t even be


    able to lift her armst


    She instantly paled.


    “I’m giving you a chance toe clean right now! I might let it slide”


    ra stiffly shook her head, forcing out a smile, “I was just making small talk! How dare I keep anything


    from you?”


    “That’s more like it Emmett Melendez took her hand, making her hook his arm, “Let’s head to the


    office.”


    “Okay”


    Blissful Oasis Hotel.


    Leah Calloway stood on the balcony, her gaze level with the Melendez Group’s headquarters.


    Suddenly, the silence was broken by the ring of her cell phone.


    Leah paused, turning to pick up the phone from the table.


    Seeing the number on the screen, she frowned, “What’s up?”


    “Where are you?” Elio cut to the chase, no pleasantries exchanged.

    “I’m in the country!”


    “You know that’s not what I’m asking!” Elio was somewhat anxious, “You told me before you came


    home just to visit, you wouldn’t contact Emmett, you wouldn’t disturb ra and them! But my people


    saw you near the Melendez Group’s office!”


    Leah chuckled.


    “Don’t overthink it, I didn’t go see Emmett! I don’t even know where the Melendez Group’s office is! Are


    you a bit too sensitive? Can’t I go out when Ie home?”


    “Leah, don’t y me for a fool!”


    “Elio, we’re family, why are you always doubting me?” Leah sighed, “You’re always looking out for


    ra, but I don’t understand, if you like her so much, why are you okay with her being with someone


    else? Don’t you get jealous when you see ra and Emmett together?”


    “It’s none of your business!”


    Leah calmly said, “Don’t get heated! I just want you to face your feelings honestly! It’s a shame to let go


    of true love so easily! You might not meet another person you truly like in this lifetime”


    “You’re going so far to protect Emmett and ra’s rtionship, but what will you get in the end?


    Watching them reunite as a family, leaving you with regrets for the rest of your life.


    “Enough” Elio reprimanded her in a low voice, “Cut the crap! You know what your real intentions are, I


    don’t need to spell it out for you! I can only tell you that ra is mine, I promised to protect her for a


    lifetime, I won’t let you ruin her happiness!”


    “Hmph.” Leah’s eyes suddenly narrowed, “She’s yours? You’re going to protect ra for a lifetime?


    Elio, will she appreciate you? You’re the only one moved by your own emotions! The one by ra’s


    side is Emmett, the one who can touch her, kiss her, it’s Emmett!”


    Elio suddenly fell silent.
