Blake's POV
When I came down from Emerson's room, I happened see Leo walk in. He came alone and did not bring Sunny. He looked a little tense when he came in.
"Where is Sunny? Why are you here alone? Didn't you bring her?" Patricia asked him first.
Leo said coldly, 'She has something to do and can't come. I will bring her here next time."
What Emerson just said to me upstairs proved that he knew about Marc's betrayal.
I finally understood why Emerson didn't stop Abigail from leaving back then. Because he was the only one who knew the truth.
All these years, he had been carrying these secrets. He must have been under great pressure.
I went downstairs, and Leo greeted me.
I walked up to him and whispered, "Come upstairs with me to see Emerson."
"Alright." Leo nodded. He followed me upstairs reluctantly.
"Emerson won't scold me anymore, right?" Leo asked as he walked.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Are you still thinking about that?" I was a little helpless when I heard this.
"He scolded me too many times. How can I not be afraid?" Leo was afraid of Emerson.
"He won't do that anymore. You have already grown up!" I said in a gentle tone.
Leo looked at me in surprise. "You are different today. What's wrong?"
'Nothing. Emerson said something to me just now. We'll talk later."
We came to Emerson's door. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.
'Emerson, Leo is here!" I said outside the door.
Leo was so nervous that all the hair on his body stood up.
"Let him in!" Emerson's tone was indeed gentler.
The door opened and Leo walked in. "Emerson, you have lost a lot of weight recently. Did you not eat well?"
Emerson stared at him, ignoring his boring question.
Leo felt uncomfortable by the way he looked at him. So he turned to look at me.
"You talk to Emerson. I have to make a phone call." I suddenly said.
Leo frowned in annoyance.
I ignored his helpless expression and closed the door.
When Leo came out, he looked much calmer. It seemed that the conversation between him and Emerson went well.
Leo got angry easily. When he saw Nick downstairs, he wanted to beat Nick. I stopped him.
"Come here, I have something to tell you!" I said to Lea.
Leo could only hold back his anger and followed me toward the back garden.
Walking on the small road in the garden, Leo said angrily, "Blake, why are you stopping me?"
"You can't solve the problem with your fists now. If you really fight with Nick and beat him hard, Emerson and Patricia will be sad. We are all their grandsons."
'But I just don't like him," Leo said angrily.
"If you don't like him, think of another way to teach him a lesson. Don't fight with him. You are not teenagers anymore!" Leo always fought with Nick. I couldn't help but shake my head as I thought about it.
"Got it. I won't fight with him. But I will never be nice to him!" Leo was still very angry.
'Just ignore him. Pretend that he doesn't exist. I don't mind." I laughed.
"By the way, Blake, you said you have something to tell me. What is it? What did Emerson say?" Leo suddenly remembered what I said before.
I didn't really want to tell him about it, but I couldn't hide it from him.
'It is about the reason why Marc betrayed Abigail. I have a very important clue!" I said in a deep voice.
Leo's expression turned serious. He asked in a low voice, "What clue? Since Emerson knew it, why didn't he look into it?"
'Because it's a little embarrassing." I didn't want Leo to think that Emerson didn't care about this, so I explained. 'Then I'm more curious. He hooked up with another woman. What else would be more embarrassing than that?" Leo sneered.
I looked at him and sighed. I lowered my voice and said, "They found a kind of drug with an aphrodisiac effect in Marc's system."
"How come? Why did he do this?" Leo's face turned pale. He clenched his fists.
I knew that he must suffer a great blow. I comforted him in a low voice, "Forget it. That's the past. Calm down."
"I really want to give up just like that." Leo was very sad. Marc ran to meet Olivia on his birthday. Marc never thought of his mate and children.
I was also mad, but it would only make me tired if I lingered too much over the past.
"But I don't know whether he took it himself or someone framed him," Blake said in a deep voice.
"It must be Olivia. I must find her and make her pay a painful price!" Leo calmed down a little.
I nodded. "I believe that Olivia must have something to do with it. However, we can't deny that Marc took the drug voluntarily. We still do not know what really happened."
'Don't bring him up in front of me. I beg you. Do not mention him again in the future!" Leo covered his ears. He was in pain.
"Okay, I won't mention him again. Calm down. Don't let Patricia and Abigail see you like this." I comforted him softly.
'Blake, you go in first. I have to stay here for a while." Leo kicked the stone next to him hard. The stone floated on the water twice and sank to the bottom of the lake.
I did not say anything more and walked away.
At the dinner table, Emerson didn't join us since it was inconvenient for him to come downstairs
Patricia asked the servants to bring the food upstairs. She would feed Emerson. Since she wasn't here, the atmosphere at the dining table was a little strange.
The two little guys also felt that the atmosphere was strange. Hedwig, who was usually talkative, was also quiet today.
Catherine ate silently while taking care of the two children. Nick's eyes always stayed on her.
I saw everything. I clenched the knife and fork in my hands, but I remembered Emerson's condition. I could only endure it for the time being.
Fortunately, Nick was sensible. He quickly finished his meal. Then he went upstairs to say goodbye to Emerson and left first.
Then, the oppressive atmosphere was gone.
"Abigail, Blake, I'll be leaving first!" Leo received too much information today.
"Alright, be safe on the road. And you can let go of those issues," I said to him.
"I know." Leo clenched his teeth, and then he drove away.
It was late at night. I told Abigail my thoughts and asked her to move in.
Abigail was happy to hear that. She agreed and decided to move here in a few days.
At ten o'clock in the evening, only the bedroom on the second floor was still lit with soft lights.
I watched Catherine put the kids to bed. When they knew that their holiday had begun, they jumped excitedly on the small beds for a long time.
When I returned to the room, Catherine reached out and wrapped her arms around my neck. Her face leaned over intimately.
I reached out and touched her wrist. We were no longer a passionate couple like when we first married. But the time we spent together was warm and happy.
'The way Nick looked at you is getting more and more unrestrained. I really want to teach him a lesson." I was unhappy and my voice was cold.
Catherine chuckled, "How did you find out?"
'Don't you feel that he is looking at you with ill intentions?" I asked, staring at her with dissatisfaction.
"Of course. I just ignored him." Catherine was also very troubled.
'In the future, you have to stay away from him and never meet him again, understand?" I was still worried and
wanted to remind her again.
"By the way, there is something I should tell you. While you were looking for Richard, Troy called me and invited me to eat together," Catherine said.
I was very angry. "Why did you meet him? Don't you remember how he treated you before?" Catherine smiled fawningly. "I know you are concerned about me. In fact, Paisley left me something. And I was going to take those things back."
'This is obviously a trap. How can you be fooled?" I got up and held her shoulders. "I know you are nostalgic. But don't meet Troy again in the future. I sent his daughter to the mental hospital. There's no way that he doesn't hate me. I don't know what he is up to, but definitely not something good."
"Alright, I will remember this. In the future, no matter what he says, I will not meet him again." Catherine nodded and promised me.
I was afraid that she would be soft-hearted. I sighed and held her in my arms. My thin lips pressed against her forehead. "Do you know what I am most afraid of? I am afraid that you and the children will be in danger!" Catherine trembled slightly, and then she murmured, "I am also afraid that you will be in danger. You must be careful in the future. I don't want anything to happen to you."
After saying this, we both remained silent. We could feel care in each other's words.
