Eason was at worst a rapist or a man who cheated on women''s feelings.
But the goal she had in mind had now been aplished, and she would leave the rest up to E.
Anna heard E get on the phone and exaggerating: "Dad! I''ve got something important to tell you!"
After her phone call, she came back to the assistants'' office.
Five Minutes Later
E grasped her phone in her hand and was running to Anna: "Ann! Ann! Oh! No! Sister! Sister!" Her
disturbed voice made her words sound incoherent.
She took Anna by her hand and pulled her to a more private, discreet ce where they could talk:
"Mom said that dad had booked a ne ticket and that if you are pregnant, you muste to our
home. My parents will be fully responsible for you. Oh! No! My brother will take this responsibility upon
him!"
She was going to have a sister-inw! E was so happy now!
Pregnant? An odd grimace struck on Anna. How could she be pregnant? She wasn''t a child anymore,
and she had definitely known how to take her morning after pills.
Anna had just wanted Eason to give her a reason for his leave. She wanted to ask why he was
avoiding her now, and more than this, she wanted to know why he was avoiding her now.
She never thought of making Eason responsible for any of this, and now she just nodded absently to
E''s excited words.
Jenny visited theirpany in the afternoon.
Samuel was not there, and E was in the office, busy printing some documents for him.
When her her mother was downstairs, she ran down the stairs to pick her up.
E settled Jenny into the office, went out, and called Anna in.
Anna looked confused when she saw thedy sitting in sofa, and even frightened when Jenny started
to talk with her.
"Mom finally found you, my dear daughter!" She had been looking for her daughter-inw for more than
30 years! Jenny was so excited that she almost cried out when she took Anna''s hands, who was so
pretty and capable in her eyes now.
Her son was finally getting married, and she could now finally be relieved of the burden of an unwed
son.
Er......r.... E and Anna watched the scene with slight awkwardness. "Mom, calm down a bit. You''ve
frightened Ann."
Anna''s hands were still held tight by Jenny: "Mrs. Si..." said Anna awkwardly. Eason''s mother was so
passionate about her. She was almost overwhelmed with emotion.
Jenny calmed down a little. She patted Anna''s white little hands, and guaranteed her: "E told me
what had happened between you and my son. If Eason dares to abandon you, I''ll break his legs with
my own hands!" While hearing her speak these words, Jenny started gnashing her teeth, Anna was
confused when she saw that now Jenny was so serious. Wasn''t this Eason Bo a casanova? Did neither
one of his previous lovers ever came back to him before her?
Or did Jenny react like all of the other women Eason had sex with?
E looked at her mother sitting on the couch, and thought of Vi. Why couldn''t she meet a mother-
inw who liked her this much?
Jenny then started talking a lot to Anna. She reluctantly left thew firm after she had confessed to her
tons of important things.
At night, E got a phone call from Samuel. Samuel told her that he would have a business dinner
tonight, and that she would have to go back home alone, on her own.
She decided to get a good night''s rest and visit their old house the following day and spend it with her
son.
Samuel did not return home until nearly midnight. The bedroom door was strongly pushed open and
E woke up.
She looked at the time. It was almost twelve o''clock now. Sitting up in bed, this time she noticed that
Samuel was walking unsteadily and was off bnce.
She could smell the wine on him a mile away. "Are you drunk?" E jumped out from the bed and held
him in her arms.
When Samuel saw her, he immediately embraced her and kissed her gently on her lips.
The strong smell of wine made E a little uneasy. Oh, my god! He had drunk too much!
She pushed away the man that was now hugging her: "Sam, you''re dead-drunk. I''ll make you some
soup to sober you up."
She helped Samuel to the bedid him down on it, and then immediately went to the kitchen to get his
soup ready.
When she came back, Samuel was lying on the bed, head askew, sleeping.
She put the soup on the table and gently nudged him, "Sam, wake up. Have some soup."
But by then she felt that she was pulled by a great force and staggered back into Samuel''s arms.
Samuel held her so tight.
"Emma..." he whispered. That name, when she heard it, was like a lightning bolt, and it stroke E like
thunder in her ears.
Sheid so stiff, rigid in his arms. She heard it right, what he said was... Emma.
So Emma still dwelt smowhere in the bottom of his heart. However hard he tried, he still could not
forget her.
The room was now so quiet, and Samuel was sleeping like a baby. E didn''t try to wake him up again.
Half an hourter, she pushed the man''s arms away and calmly got out of bed. She took off his shoes
and clothes, and then tried to push his whole body in bed.
It was a little past one o ''clock in the morning after this toss and turn in bed. E went to the other side
of the bed andy down quietly with her back to Samuel.
When Samuel woke up the next morning, E wasn''t beside him anymore.
The whole apartment was very quiet in the morning time, almost like it was empty. He rubbed his sore
temples. He had met a few alcoholic partnersst night and he had drunk too much, indeed.
He went out of the bedroom, looked around, and was sure enough no one was at home besides
himself. Where was she?
He took out the phone to look at the time. It was already past 8 o ''clock in the morning. He then tried
calling E.
The call had been put through for a second, and then hung up. Samuel was a bit confused.
Did something happenst night? Then he called the office. The phone rang for a long while before
someone finally picked it up.
It was Anna, not E. She told him that E hadn''t arrived at thepany today.
Ah, yes, he remembered now, E had told him that she would visit the old house today.
Samuel still felt a little dizzy. He had a brief wash in the bathroom to freshen up and then tried calling
the old house.
He felt a little uneasy since he didn''t know where she was.
Mrs. Qi answered the phone. Samuel was relieved when she told him that E was ying with their
kid upstairs.
His naughty girl knew exactly how to make him worry. She didn''t even tell him when and where she left.
Or... did he sleep too tight, too tight that she couldn''t wake him up?
Samuel was so busy with the Changyue case that he again didn''t notice that there was something
wrong with E.
It was only until three dayster, when he returned to the empty apartment in the middle of the night,
that Samuel started missing her presence. He then took out his cellphone and tried calling E several
times. No answer.
By then realized something was wrong and started asking himself why E hadn''te back home for
the past three days. She did not go to thepany, either. But she knew that he was still working on
the Changyue case these days, and she seemed to be keen on keeping Emma away from him.
Why didn''t she do anything all this time? She even allowed Emma to be with him for three whole days.
Samuel wasn''t that stupid to think that E had started to trust him.
He remembered sending her several WeChat messages in thest three days, but got no reply
whatsoever. He thought that there must definitely be something wrong with E, and by now she was
probably more than furious at him.
