Chapter 4
But Charlie grabbed my wrist
His face showed impatience.
“Today is Mom’s birthday. Do you really have to make a scene?”
His grip was tight, and the wound that Sarah had made earlier flared up again under his hold.
The pain nearly brought tears to my eyes,
“You’re really pathetic.”
“If you’re going to make a scene, apologize to Sarah,” Charlie staffed, releasing my hand and pulling Sarah close to him by the shoulder.
“You pushed her just now,” Charlie added.
Sarah, nestled in Charlie’s arms, smirked, but still looked at me with tear filled e

“Emily, I’m fine, don’t let it cause a rift between you and Wantile and Charbe,” she spoke softly, seeming so understanding.
Charlie coldly looked at me,
You have two choices. first, apologize to Sarah.
Second, go upstairs to your room and stay quietly, otherwise.
“Sorry,” Linterrupted Charlie’s words.
“Is that enough? If not, I can keep going,” Charlie said, a little taken aback before he angrily continued, “Good, very good. So after three years abroad. you’ve learned to play these tricks? Do you think if you make me angry, I’ll forgive your nonsense?
I didn’t look at him again and turned to leave the Walker family home.
When Mrs. Walker slapped me, Lucas had walked over.
I stopped him with a glance. I didn’t want to involve him in my issues with the Walker family.
In the car, Lucas’s face was dark as he grabbed my wrist and silently disinfected and bandaged my hand.
Afterward, he placed my hand to the side, not saying a word, staring straight ahead.
I knew, he was angry.
I leaned closer with a grin and tugged at his sleeve.
“Are you mad
Still silent.
I sighed and held his hand.

At first, I thought he was just helping because my brother had asked him, but later I realized…

The Walker family stopped contacting me, and I didnt reach out in them either.
They sent me abroad, and I thought I could live well by myself.
After learning of Lucas’s intentions, I kept my distance from him and refused his kindness.
But in the face of reality, my pride didn’t mean much.
I was alone abroad, not a local, faring discrimination. While others could earn a decent salary, I could barely make half of ir

I fell in love with research, so he invested in my laboratory.

In that time, the Walker family never contacted me.
Thad intended to explain to Lucas that I didn’t want to always cause him trouble.
But when I said it, his expression darkened even further.
He even brushed my hand away when I grabbed his sleeve
That’s when I got angry.

But his handsome face still carried indifference, and he remained silent.

When I woke up, we had already arrived home.
Dinner was ready.
It was all my favorite food.
I hadn’t eaten much at the Walker family’s banquet today, so now I was really hungry.
Lucas was sitting on the sofa, holding a video conference. When he saw me, he glanced over and said something in English, ending the meeting
After turning off his phone, he placed it aside and picked up an eronomies magazine to continue reading
