Chapter 174


    ra lowered her head, her voice dropping to a mere whisper.


    “Kids needpany.”


    1 get it now!” Emmett grabbed her hand tightly, “It wasn’t until you came along that I realized how fun


    and meaningful it is to have a family around. I used to think that making more money and making the


    Melendez family stronger was what happiness and importance were all about! But now I truly


    understand, that’s not what’s most important! The real happiness I want is having you by my side,


    having our kids by my side, work doesn’t matter”


    His sudden confession left ra a bit flustered.


    Emmett held her hand even tighter, “ra, everything I’ve changed has been for you! Please don’t let


    me down.”


    ra looked at him, “Let you down? How could I let you down?”


    “Unless your heart isn’t with me, I can take anything else!”


    “Let’s go, we gotta get to work.” Emmett never let go of her hand, even as he led her to the car.


    Looking at his profile, ra felt… like something was slowly changing.


    At the office, ra organized all the files on herputer, printed them out and ced them by the


    door for everyone to pick up.


    After a while, her phone suddenly rang.


    Looking down, she saw it was Leah.


    She was instantly startled, fearing Leah was in some sort of crisis.


    “What’s up?” ra answered the phone, quickly asking.


    “ra. the guy I like, he rejected me! What should I do?”


    “I don’t have any experience with that ra felt like a kid when it came to such matters.


    All she could offer were some words offort, like she’ll find someone better in the future…


    But she felt theseforting words were pretty useless.


    “I want to see you, ra!” Leah’s voice was pleading.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ra felt a bit awkward, “I’m at work right now! Can we talk after I get off?”


    “But I’m feeling so…” Leah sobbed, “1 feel terrible now, I just need someone to talk to! Can youe?


    Just for an hour?”


    “This…”


    “Half an hour, can you spare half an hour?”


    Left with no choice, ra agreed, “Alright, but I can’t promise how long I can stay. If somethinges


    up here, I’ll have toe back.”


    “Okay!”


    After hanging up, ra got up to ask Ricardo for a leave.


    But she was worried that if Emmett found out, he would start asking a bunch of questions!


    She wasn’t afraid of the questioning, she was more concerned that Emmett might be interested in


    her “friend“.


    If he decides to do a little digging, her real situation would be revealed!


    After some thought, ra grabbed her bag and slipped out quietly.


    She’d already said she wouldn’t be long, she’d be back soon, should be fine, right?


    In the CEO’s office


    Emmett was frowning at some documents, asionally signing his name.


    Before long, Ricardo knocked and came in, “Mr. Melendez, our staff saw Taylor Atwood personally


    went to Cedarwood.”


    “What’s he doing there? Emmett asked Ricardo, “Isn’t that ce the Quintin family’s turf?”


    Then he might have other business there, it doesn’t have to be work–rted! Otherwise, it doesn’t


    make sense… The Quintin family wouldn’t just hand over that ce to Taylor!”
