Mom, Please Marry Daddy

Chapter 52 Shackles of Love

But Emily didn't want to talk to him at all. She just held Charles's hand and walked away, completely ignoring the presence of Brian.

Seeing that, Charles took a look at Brian sympathetically. He knew that it was he who had done something to offend Emily, but he would definitely choose Emily between Emily and Brian. So, Mr. Brian, good luck.

Receiving the look of 'good luck' from Charles, Brian wished he could bite his teeth. Charles deserved to be his son. It was really a good way to pass the responsibility to other people. It turned out to be wrong to hide the truth for the little boy.

But when he thought of how rudely Emily had treated Cassie, he shook his head and decided to let it go. He was the father, and Charles was the son. He deserved it.

As a result, Brian couldn't stand it at night anymore after being tortured by Emily for all the day. He dragged Emily out of the room and said, "I think we should have a talk."

"Is it necessary?"

"Yes, it is." If it continued like this, he would go crazy first.

"I'm listening."

"It's my fault to hide it from you, but I don't think I did anything wrong. Charles is not only your son but also my son. Just like you can't refuse his request, I can't turn him down."

"So you mean that it is Charles's fault."

"No, Charles did nothing wrong. He was afraid that you would be worried, so was I."

"So you mean it's all my fault?" Emily raised her voice.

Brian sighed, "Don't you find that you are too irrational about the matter of Charles?"

Brian discovered this before. He understood that Emily cherished Charles very much. But when he saw that how she solved the matter of Cassie today, he didn't reject to let Cassie learn a lesson, but he also found that Emily was a little extreme.

"Why was Charles so careful when he was just hurt slightly? You have done something to make Charles worry about you before, right?"

Brian's words made Emily feel a little worried. She seemed to think of something. Was it a shadow? Emily smiled bitterly. She took a look at Charles's room and thought, 'Am I asking for the wrong things?'.

"I'm going out for a walk."

She didn't want to stay in this room anymore, she didn't want to face Brian, and she didn't want to see Charles's pure eyes. All of these made her think whether her so-called protection was a shackle. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Brian wanted to grasp Emily. However, Emily shook off his hand with strength and said, "I can do it myself. Don't follow me."

After Emily left, Charles walked out of the room with an angry look in his eyes.

"Mr. Brian, you've gone too far. How could you say that to Mommy?"

"What about you? Why are you so cautious to hide the news of your injury?"

"You know nothing. How could you say that about Mommy?"

Brian was annoyed by the look on Charles's face, but he couldn't ignore it. He could only walk up to him and hold him in his arms, letting him sit on his lap.

"Don't cry. It's my fault." Since he came back, Brian had never seen Charles cry. This was so heartbroken to Brian.

"It's all your fault... I just don't want mommy to know that, I don't want her to get hurt. "

Charles said as he wiped his tears hastily. Brian tried to wipe the tears off his face gently, but he couldn't wipe all of it. Then he heard a story about Emily that made him silent for a long time.

Many things had happened in China when Emily was pregnant, and the depression was accumulated in her heart. She had been very thin in the budding few months, as if she could be blown down by the wind. Under the care of his grandfather, she had barely recovered. However, she had almost died during the labor.

It could be said that Emily was risked her life in exchange for Charles. Later, Charles's grandfather once said that he was really afraid at that time. He was afraid that the doctor would ask him whether he wanted to save the mother or the child, because at that time, Emily would not hesitate to say that she wanted to save the child.

When Charles was about three years old, he was kidnapped by a man accidentally. He tried to threaten Charles's grandfather with Charles. At that time, his grandfather blocked the news from Emily, fearing that Emily would go crazy and do something bad.

No one knew better than Charles about what Charles meant to Emily. In the following one day, his grandpa had promised to satisfy that man's require. Nothing was more important than Charles's safety. Fortunately, Charles had been rescued safely. This matter had come to an end, but it hadn't been over yet, and Emily finally discovered it.

Because his little face was accidentally scratched by those people, and there were some bruises on his arms and legs. Such injuries were definitely not caused by their own people, so in the afternoon of that day, Emily knew it. That is to say, at that night, Emily suddenly disappeared.

The next day, when Emily came back, she had been covered in blood and bruises all over her body. Charles's grandfather was almost scared to death. Then they knew that Emily had beaten up the kidnappers, she paid them back by ten times and threw them into the police station.

However, when they were sent there, they were covered with red blood and looked kind of enchanting but more horrible. At that time, since Charles was still a muddle headed boy, he knew that if he got injured, Emily would be injured too, which may be more serious.

It was at that time that Charles knew that he had to be strong to protect his mother and would never allow himself to be hurt, so he chose such a way. Besides, from that time, Charles had not been attacked by anyone else. Obviously it was an accident this time, but such an accident undoubtedly made Emily feel sorry for him.

With a long silence, Brian didn't say a word. He held Charles's tears in his hands, which were very hot. He had thought how much hardships it would take for Emily to raise Charles, but he never thought that she would be so weak in health when she was bearing him. It was even possible to see a corpse with two lives.

If Emily had not been able to get through at that time, what would have happened now? Brian dared not imagine, as his hands had unconsciously clenched.

For the first time, Brian thanked the God for giving him the good luck to know Emily. For the first time, he felt grateful that Emily had survived from that kind of weakness. For the first time, he felt so guilty that he hadn't accompanied Emily by her side.

Charles was right, and so was Emily. It was all his fault, because he didn't know the truth. Before he went through that kind of worry and pain, he didn't think he was qualified to criticize either Emily or Charles. He felt helpless, because he regretted not being with Emily in the past seven years, but there was no way to change the past, and he was confident that he could change the future.

"It's my fault. My son is a tough man. I am proud to have a son like you. Your mother is also right. She raised you up well. It's all my fault. Don't cry, or I will feel sorry for you."

"Charles, from now on, I will stand by your side and protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you," Brian said gently

If anyone dared to hurt them, he wouldn't let them know more about the hell. He couldn't imagine that Emily was covered in blood. The thought of such a scene always made Brian want to suffocate. He had already fallen into it.

Charles wiped his tears, looked at Brian's earnest and persistent eyes and asked when he was deep in thought, "Have you fallen in love with Mommy?"

As for his son's sensitivity, Brian didn't say anything, but just smiled slowly and didn't contradict him, "If I say yes, what will you do?" Brian didn't regard Charles as a kid who didn't know anything. Charles had the right to know everything about them.

After thinking for a while, Charles seemed to have made up his mind and his eyes were red with tears. Then he said, "Mr. Brian, I like you very much. I want you to be my daddy too, but I don't know what Mommy will think."

Brian was not surprised by Charles's answer. They were bound by blood, but also got along very well with each other. But Brian knew that if Emily wanted to leave, Charles would follow her.

"Your mommy and I have the same idea that our family will live happily together." Now that he had fallen in love with her, how could he leave her alone.

It seemed that Charles thought of something. He looked at Brian and thought about Emily. He didn't want to leave Emily on his own. He believed in Brian.

"Daddy, I'll help you."

Brian smiled and said, "You just have to stay at home. I'll take your mommy home."

Charles patted his chest to make sure that he would be at home.

It was unknown how many cups of wine Emily had drunk in the "QW Bar". Even if Zoey wanted to persuade her, she wouldn't stop. So he had to drink with her.

"Am I binding Charles up too much?"

Emily shook the glass slightly. The wine tasted bitter.

"It's just your thought. Charles may not think so,"

"Oh, really?"

Emily drank it up and said, "I owe Charles too much, really." She owed him both a happy childhood and a smooth life.

"Although I haven't met Charles before, I'm sure he'll think that he feels lucky to have you in his life."

Just as meeting Emily was the most celebrated thing in Zoey's life. He was willing to do anything for her. Emily was a charming person, but Emily didn't seem to realize it.
