Chapter 216


    “Alright, where are you? If I’m free, I’ll give you a heads up and we can arrange a ce to meet up.”


    “Let’s meet up downstairs at the Melendez Group! My ce is a bit out in the sticks, so it might not be


    convenient for you to


    “Alright, your call”


    As ra was about to hang up, Elio suddenly called out, “ra.”


    “What’s up?”


    “Have you… fallen for Emmett during this time?”


    Caught off guard, ra lowered her head and said, “He’s been very good to me, helped me solve a lot


    of problems, even handled my father’s issues.”


    “But are you happy?”


    “I am.”


    ra didn’t say anything more, just hung up the phone. Looking at her phone screen, ra felt


    something was off with Elio. She packeted her phone and left, Emmett was already waiting for her


    outside.

    “You look a bit off, what’s up?”


    ra touched her face, “Really? You might be seeing things. You’re taking me shopping, and I should


    be happy.”


    “Do you have a preferred car model?”


    “No,” ra shook her head and grabbed his sleeve, “If you’re trying to cheer me up, you don’t need to


    buy me a car. Let’s get some sweets for the kids, then go pick them up from school! They’ll be thrilled if


    their parentse to get them. Their happiness will make me happy.”


    “You’re always thinking about those kids.” Emmett sighed, a bit exasperated, “Alright then! Just wait a


    sec, I’ll let Ricardo know we’re knocking off early today to spend time with the kids.”


    “Awesome!” ra was so excited that she was about to p.


    The onlyfort she had now were the two kids! As long as they were happy, anything she did was


    worth it!


    As for everything else, she didn’t want to think about it.


    Taylor returned to the office, his face as pale as a sheet. His secretary was so rmed by his paleness


    that she was about to call an ambnce.


    “Mr. Atwood, what’s wrong? You look so pale.”


    Taylor waved her off, “I’m fine, you may leave now. I want to be alone.”


    “How can I leave you alone when you’re like this?” The secretary rushed to support him, “Should I call


    a doctor? Are you having a headache again?”


    “No need…” Taylor stumbled into a seat, still reeling from the news he just received.


    Thispletely overturned everything he knew! Though Leah didn’t provide any evidence for her


    usations and his mother would certainly deny everything if confronted, but…the character of his


    mother that Leah described also matched. his perception of her!


    He knew his mother was capable of pulling such things. She might even have even done things that


    Leah didn’t know about!


    If what Leah said was true, his mother must have pressured ra, making her fearful of any


    association with the Atwood family.


    “Why… why would my mother do this to me…”


    “Mr. Atwood, what are you talking about? Don’t scare me!” The secretary gently patted Taylor’s


    shoulder, “What on earth happened?”


    Taylor closed his eyes, images of a lonely and helpless ra in a foreign country kept shing through


    his mind.


    She came all the way on her own, only to be rejected. At that time, ra must have wished very much


    for him to wake up and for him to protect her. But when he did wake up, he had lost his memory.


    Taylor couldn’t imagine how devastated ra must have been back then. He suddenly stood up and


    was about to leave.
