Semua Bab Doted on by a Luring CEO: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Emily didn't say anything.Liam, who was driving, turned his head to look at Emily and grinned. "Emily, where are you headed?"Emily thought for a moment and replied, "Summit Road."Liam seemed surprised. "That place is quite far. Why are you headed there?"Emily didn't mind and answered truthfully, "My father is in a sanatorium over there. I want to visit him."Since her unpleasant argument with her mother last time, she hadn't had the chance to visit her father at the sanatorium. Now that she was out, she decided to take the opportunity to visit him.Liam was a bit taken aback. "Could it be the the Summit Sanatorium?"Emily nodded gently and gave a quiet reply.Liam casually remarked, "That sanatorium isn't very good. How could your family put your dad there?"Emily lowered her eyes and didn't respond. Luke, who was sitting beside her, stared at her for a few seconds before frowning and saying, "Just drive the car. Stop talking so much."As soon as he finished speaking, a r

When Emily came out of the sanatorium, it was already completely dark, and it had started snowing lightly at some point.She had rushed out earlier today, dressed rather thinly, and her slender figure looked especially desolate and fragile in the cold.She felt groggy and looked ill.She had thought that her mother would, out of respect for their more than 20 years of marriage, at least take good care of her father, even if she couldn't afford good medical care.But what was the result? When she arrived, her father was the only one lying alone in the shabby hospital bed, and the room was filled with a foul, rotten smell.Fuming, she found the person in charge and learned that her mother didn't want to spend a penny.If she was going to be heartless, at least she should stop making excuses about not having money.The things she had bought for her son last time were enough to cover her father's medical fees for a whole year.Emily let out a heavy sigh and checked the time on her

On the other side, after getting off work, Jake started texting people to go to the bar.When Campbell arrived in the private room, he saw Jake pouring alcohol directly from the bottle into his mouth.Annoyed, Campbell walked over and grabbed the bottle out of Jake's hand. "What's this supposed to mean? You call your brothers over, and all we see is you drinking?"Jake had already drunk quite a bit and was somewhat drunk. He kicked the table in frustration. "Damn it, those men, one after another."Campbell sat lazily on the sofa next to him, his legs crossed over the coffee table, and casually asked, "What happened now?"Jake didn't answer but picked up the bottle and continued drinking.Seeing his state, Daniel, who had come in with Campbell, grew concerned. "Campbell, what's going on with Jake?"Campbell replied, nonchalantly "What else could it be? He's heartbroken."Daniel was a bit shocked. "He and Emily had a fight?"Clearly, Daniel didn't know what had happened between

Helen paused for a moment before she giggled. "I begged the dormitory supervisor for a long time before she let me come out.""It really wasn't necessary. I just drank too much.""I was worried about you. If I hadn't come see you, I would have been unable to sleep."Jake looked at the enthusiastic and coquettish girl before him, and thoughts of Emily filled his mind subconsciously.Emily's concern was merely surface-level, but the girl in front of him was genuinely filled with him, heart and soul.Jake reached out and gave her a hug. "Baby, sorry to trouble you last night. You even cooked for me."Helen's body stiffened. "Cooked for you?"Jake looked at her expression and frowned slightly, "Wasn't it you who made it?"Helen quickly realized and hurriedly explained, "I’ve just learnt how to make some dishes. The ones I made last night weren’t perfect.""It was really delicious, you did great, baby."After Jake had breakfast with Helen and sent her back to school, when it was t

Emily was rendered speechless.‘What nonsense is Luke saying? It feels kind of grievance.’"You haven't had breakfast?" asked Emily."Nope.""Then go have breakfast now, you don't need to wait for me.""It's fine, I'm not familiar with the area around the company, you know, I just came back to the country, and I don't have many friends.""You've already sent your friends to the sanatorium and you still say you have no friends?" Emily exposed him.Luke paused for a while before replying, "You go ahead and eat with your friend. Friends are more important."After saying that, without waiting for Emily to speak, he hung up the phone.Emily stared at the phone, confused."Emily, who was that?" Wendy asked curiously.Emily put the phone away and casually responded, "A friend."She then sat back in her chair.Wendy leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Emily, don't leave. I promised Zack."Emily nodded and sighed.Wendy immediately started laughing, "Then I'll go with my boyfr
