"You dont need to say more," Williams heart ached. He understood the truth in Emilys words.
The anticipation and longing in Emilys every word were so heavy to him that he couldnt afford to give her the stable life she wanted. Its better to let her go.
Emily was stunned, the light in her eyes gradually extinguished, turning into endless disappointment. In the end, he was still unwilling to give her an answer.
She held back the sourness in her throat, put on her clothes one by one, and heard the rustling behind her. William frowned and lit a cigarette.
"Im leaving," Emily said in a low voice, tidying her disheveled long hair.
How she longed to hear Williams retention. She had already said that if she left this time, she would marry Keith.
But what responded to Emilys inner expectation was only a shallow "um."
In an instant, Emilys grievances and unwillingness turned into tears and burst out of her eyes. She covered her mouth and sobbed as she rushed out the door.
Why is it like this? The father of her unborn child, the man she loves the most in her life, responded to her twelve years of companionship with a calm "um."
You want me to leave, William White! You let me go! I hope you dont regret it.
The evening breeze dried Emilys tears, and she made a decision in her heart.
She couldnt wait any longer.
"Landon Family Heiress Emily Landon finally meets the right person, holding hands with City Shine Groups young master Keith Howard, or will be married today!"
The bold and large font lies dazzlingly on the magazine in front of William. He frowned slightly, grabbed the magazine, and threw it into the trash can at his feet, his thoughts becoming a mess.
She actually... really wants to marry Keith Howard? Strangely, hasnt he always hoped that she would find a good home? Now that she has fulfilled his wish, whats wrong with him?
The more William tried to clarify his thoughts, the more agitated he became.
William was still covering his head and sulking when his phone rang at this moment. He casually pressed the answer button.
"William, its been a long time since we last got together. Lets go out for a drink! Today, Brother Hu is treating, you must not lose face." The speaker is named Ben Hu, a prison friend of William. The environment in prison is treacherous, and the two can be considered to have a life-and-death friendship.
"Got it." William was already upset by the news of Emilys marriage and was worried about having no place to vent, so he casually agreed to Bens invitation.
Ben is also a bit famous on the road. After being released from prison, his reputation has only increased. He originally controlled a chain of nightclubs and has recently added several bars and clubs, which can be described as thriving.
The two were drinking and getting together in a newly opened bar.
"I say, brother, who made you upset? I toast to you, and you drink three cups?" Seeing William pouring glass after glass of wine into his mouth, Ben was surprised.
William came today to drown his sorrows in alcohol, wanting to forget about Emilys matter, and naturally would not say much.
However, just at this moment, the TV in the bars private room suddenly switched to entertainment news, and the sweet female voice broadcasted the news that made Williams heart ache like a knife: "Today, our reporters were fortunate to interview Miss Emily and Mr. Howard, both of whom have admitted that the good news is coming soon..."
Then it was Keith Howards turn to speak with a happy smile: "Its a blessing to marry Emily. Ive had feelings for her for a long time. She has always been the princess in my heart, and in the future, I will let her live a princess-like life..."
William stared at Emilys face in the news and downed another glass of wine.
She looks... as if she is quite happy? Yes, that Keith Howard seems to be a good person, with a good family background, and must be able to give her a happy and stable life.
"What a Keith Howard, he looks decent, and his words are pleasant to hear, but in fact, he is rotten to the core." Bens disdainful voice suddenly sounded.
