Chapter 103 Everyone Is Crying "Dad, you should go check on Natalie! I'm planning to pack my bags and go on a trip for now. Is that okay?" Emma asked. She looked at William pleadingly as she cautiously made her request.
She had thought it over herself. At this moment, William's and Charlotte's attention wouldn't be focused on her.
If she stayed and Natalie reflected on her own experiences with the Langleys, Emma would truly have no chance left if Natalie decided to vent her anger and drive her out.
Natalie didn't live a good life with the Langleys. Once their real daughter returned, the fake daughter had been immediately kicked out.
And now, Natalie was found to be the real daughter of the Walkers, while Emma had becthe fake daughter.
Emma was afraid that after Natalie returned as the real daughter, she would repress her just like Selena had. Thus, avoiding the matter was the best choice.
Besides, now that the Walkers had found their real daughter, they would surely want to spend stbonding with her and making amends.
Emma's staying would mean she had to watch them shower Natalie with love, resulting in her feeling stabbed in the heart. So, it was better not to see it at all.
However, if she took the initiative to leave and not fight for anything, Natalie wouldn't have a valid reason to target her.
Emma even felt fortunate that Marcus had broken off the engagement at this time. The scene that happened at Holden Residence was a good enough reason for her to appear heartbroken in front of William and Charlotte. She was the doted-on eldest daughter who was raised carefully by the Walkers. How could she have done something as disgraceful as drugging someone? As long as Marcus didn't provide concrete evidence, she could firmly and resolutely deny it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer claim that she was heartbroken and wanted to travel to clear her mind after being rejected and slandered by the man she liked was a perfectly valid excuse.
Although William was comforting Emma at that moment, she knew he was eager to go and bond with his biological daughter.
Thus, rather than being asked to leave by the Walkers, it was better to take the initiative to leave first. "Dad, is that fine?" Emma asked again.
She watched as William remained silent for a moment, and her voice beceven more choked up as she made her request once more. "Dad, please helpexplain things to Mom and my brothers.
"As for my sister..." Emma paused before carefully speaking again. "If Natalie accepts me, I'll be her most loyal follower for the rest of my life." By referring to herself as a "follower" rather than a sister, Emma implied that she would never overstep Natalie in the Walker family.
When William looked at Emma's humble and flattering demeanor, he couldn't help but feel pity and guilt toward her.
"Emma, you don't need to act like this," he said.
"Dad, I want to leave to clear my mind, okay? Besides, Natalie is back, and the engagement was originally meant for her. Since Marcus doesn't like me, why not have my sister get engaged to him?" Emma lowered her head as her tears started to fall again. She quietly wiped them away and turned to her closet to start packing.
In the end, William didn't say anything further. He simply took out his phone and transferred smoney to Emma.
"Emma, I've sent you smoney. If you're going traveling, bring a friend with you. If you need anything, callanytime.
"Also, your brothers will always be your brothers. Mom and Dad will always be your parents." Emma choked up with emotion and nodded. "Thank you, Dad." With that, she urged William, "Dad, you should hurry to my sister's side! Otherwise, she might get upset again." William wanted to say that Natalie wasn't such a petty person, but it was true that he had spent quite sthere with Emma. Moreover, Charlotte had already shared the paternity test results in their group chat.
William didn't stay any longer, nodding to Emma before leaving her room.
As soon as he left, Emma dug her nails into her palms. The pitiful, sorrowful expression on her face vanished, replaced by an indescribable hatred instead.
The brothers who had doted on her didn't cto comfort her. Now, the whole family was focused on Natalie. Emma took a deep breath, quickly packed her luggage, and walked out the door with her suitcase in hand.
At the stime, Charlotte had just arrived back home. While holding a few reports in her hand, she quickly ran into the house.
"Hey, Mom," Emma greeted Charlotte while at the front door. Upon seeing her swollen and red-rimmed eyes, Charlotte paused for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Emma, you have a suitcase with you. What are you planning to do with it?" Charlotte asked.
"Mom, I've already explained everything to Dad. You should quickly go and see my sister! Dad will talk to you about it later." Emma had a bitter tone as she said, " Mom, I know everything now. I won't interfere or disrupt your reunion with Natalie.
"I previously suffered sgrievances while at Marcus' place, and by clinging to you, I delayed you from picking Natalie up. That was my fault.
"Mom, I'm leaving for a bit to clear my mind. You should quickly go in! My sister is waiting for you." With that, Emma forced back her tears and quickly left with her suitcase.
Charlotte felt a twinge of discomfort in her heart. She didn't feel good about seeing Emma cry, but she would never give up her biological daughter just because Emma was upset or in tears.
Then, Charlotte quickly ran into the house and headed straight for the third floor where Mason's bedroom was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, William emerged from the elevator. "Honey," he began.
"Talk later," Charlotte hurriedly interrupted him. Nothing was more important now than reuniting with her daughter.
"Nat," she called as she rushed into Mason's bedroom.
Natalie stood by the bedroom window as she wordlessly withdrew her gaze from the outside. She had seen Emma leaving with a suitcase.
"Nat." Charlotte approached her with the paternity test results. Her voice trembled with uncontrollabfe with ΟΠΙ IFF excitement as she said, "Nat, I'm your mother. Look, these are the paternity test results." Natalie had already found out about the results before Charlotte returned because she had overheard it during the phone call.
After all, the Walker brothers hadn't tried hiding it from her when they received the call.
This document merely confirmed what she already knew.
"Nat..." Charlotte's voice was choked up as her eyes reddened with tears. "Can I hug you, my daughter?"
Before Natalie could respond, Grace stepped forward and pushed her into Charlotte's arms Hug her! Why are you hesitating? Nattie also has a mom now." Grace clapped her hands joyfully as she repeated, "My Nattie has a mom now. Let's see how Victor and Diana will bully my Nattie from now on." When Natalie was hugged by Charlotte, she felt her body stiffen up. She just..... wasn't used to such intimacy with others.
"Nat!" Charlotte suddenly burst into tears. "My daughter, my daughter!" As Charlotte cried, William's eyes reddened as well. He stepped forward and cautiously hugged the two of them in his embrace.
However, as he was worried about Natalie's resistance, he didn't dare hug them too tightly.
Grace had been clapping her hands with joy, but when she saw Charlotte crying, William's reddened eyes, and the Walker brothers on the verge of tears... She started crying too.
