Chapter 302


    “I really can’t make head or tail of this… His mom never discusses anything with Emmett, and I’ve no


    clue how she found out about you.”


    Leah faked a smile, “Well, that’s just peachy!”


    “But don’t sweat it. I’ll try my best to keep you out of this! If all else fails, I’lle clean about who I


    am.”

    “No way!” Leah eximed immediately after ra finished her sentence.


    ra was taken aback…


    “What I mean is… Elio Milburn is also involved in this. If Emmett finds out not only has Elio been lying


    to him, but more than once, and he even brought me here to cover up, we’d be in his bad books for


    good! No more easy street for us! You must keep this under wraps no matter what!”


    ra sighed, “That’s been my worry all along. I’ve tried to feel Emmett out before, and he hates being


    lied to.”


    “Yeah… so does anyone really!”


    “But we’re stuck now! If I knew it’de to this, I’d never have dragged Elio into this mess…”


    Leah took ra’s hand, saying, “I know it sounds selfish, but Elio loves you! He shouldn’t get hurt


    because of your issues with Emmett.”


    Mentioning Elio, ra felt a pang of guilt….


    “He’s been down in the dumps all the time for you, even turning down blind dates arranged by the


    family. If you let Emmett take revenge on him, my cousin would be crushed!”


    ra pursed her lips, lowering her head.


    “You don’t know the situation in our family. Most of them don’t like Elio, always giving him a hard time!


    They might even seize this chance to kick him out of the family.”


    ra never thought it would be this serious. She was thinking that if push came to shove, she would


    tell the truth and beg Emmett to let Elio off the hook.


    But now it seems she really can’t take the risk unless she’s 100% sure because it’s not just her own


    fate at stake!


    “Don’t worry! I got it covered, and I’ll never forget what he’s done for me.”


    Leah nodded. She couldn’t care less about any of that as long as ra doesn’t admit she’s the mother


    of the two kids..


    “As for the issue between him and me… Leah, I need a favor. Could you please talk some sense into


    him? Tell him to let me go. He’s so great, and he deserves a good wife, not wasting his time on me!”


    “Ah! If only he would take that to heart. Do you think I haven’t tried? Nothing works!”


    ra tightly clenched her fingertips, feeling at a loss of what to do.


    “You don’t know, the Milburn family, they’re stubborn! I can kinda understand him; it’s like me and the


    guy I like. I know giving up would be better for everyone, but I just can’t let go!”


    ra lightly pursed her lips. The guilt inside her made her feel suffocated.


    “It’s all my fault! I was too impulsive back then, only thinking about myself, which led to all this. I should


    take most of the me.”


    “Forget it! ra, don’t beat yourself up. I know you didn’t mean it. When I get back, I’ll try to talk him


    around when I have the time and help him move on. I gotta go to get a meeting. We’ll catch upter. if


    you need anything, just give me a shout.”


    “Yeah, goodbye!”


    Back at thepany, Ricardo noticed ra seemed out of sorts and followed her.


    “What’s up with you? Did you have another spat with the boss?”


    “Huh? So if I’m not all smiles, you think I’ve had a row with Emmett?”


    Ricardo chuckled, “I’m just worried, you know. When Mr. Melendez gets mad, none of us can catch a


    break!”
