Love Enveloped In Lies
Episode 148

The lights in the room were off. Sitting in front of the chest of drawers, Zoy looked at herself in the mirror.

His heart was exceptionally calm, fused with space.

He clenched his fist so tightly that the wedding ring on the fourth finger of his left hand glinted, hurting his eyes. He knew things would go on like this, why was his heart still aching?

“I’ll never let you go, Michelle!”

It was dark outside. The journalists waited outside for a whole day, but no one answered. They all left in frustration.

Sitting on the sofa in the room, Scott was reading today’s headlines.

In fact, the reason he didn’t send people to block the news was because he wanted to know who the manipulator was behind the scenes. But I didn’t expect that person to have ever appeared. Now he couldn’t wait to die. After all, the other side was a ruthless character.

“Well, I’ll let you go this time.”

His eyes were as cold as the dark night outside the window, making it difficult to discover the deeper meaning in them.

The next morning, when Michelle woke up, she made breakfast in the kitchen as usual. But she looked much skinnier than normal today, probably because she hadn’t slept well last night.

Scott was up early too, as he had something to sort out.

When he came downstairs, he caught the smell of food from the kitchen. He lifted the corners of his mouth and quickened his pace to go downstairs.

“Why don’t you get more sleep?”

As Michelle spoke, she came out with a bowl of soup in her arms. Put it gently on the table.

Suddenly Scott hugged her and kissed her earlobe. Michelle, I love you.

For a moment, Michelle’s face turned red. Ever since Emily had been home, even though she was a stranger, she hadn’t paid much attention to this sort of thing. But Michelle was embarrassed and didn’t know how red her face would be if others saw her.

Scott knew she was uncomfortable, so he quickly released her.

After dinner, Scott left the house directly, while Michelle packed her bags at the villa. Because right now, Scott said they’d be back soon.

The word “home” brought him a lot of energy. She missed her mum a lot. She missed her mother’s meals and her nice bed.

“Michelle! Michelle! “

As soon as Scott left, a heartbreaking voice came from above. Michelle unconsciously covered her ears so they wouldn’t be hurt by the roar of Emily’s lion.

“What’s going on?”

As Emily approached her, Michelle lowered her hand.

“Look, there’s no news on the internet. I haven’t heard from you at all! ” Emily handed Michelle the phone and stared wide-eyed at the screen.

Frowning, Michelle hesitated for a moment and picked up Emily’s phone.

As she said, there was no news of her in the news. I couldn’t even look for traces of the past, and the post bars and BBSs were empty.

It was as if nothing had happened.

“It must be him. He seems a capable man. I’ve underestimated him. “Emily looked at Michelle with a big smile on her face.

He said yesterday was useless, but now he wanted it back.

However, at this point Michelle hesitated because she knew it must be very awkward for Scott to do so. And all they did was for money. Then you have to solve it with money.

The thought made Michelle’s heart ache. Because he thought he owed her too much.

Seeing her lost in thought, Emily couldn’t help but touch his elbow and say, “What are you thinking? I’m so hungry Make me some food. “

“I have. Go and get a bowl. I’m not your daughter. ” Michelle rolled her eyes then walked into the living room without looking back.

“Hey woman!”

Emily pretended to be angry and called her name, but she couldn’t help laughing.

After breakfast, Michelle received a call. He looked at the caller ID and hesitated for a long moment before pressing answer.

It was Walter. “Are you okay, Michelle?” he asked.

“I’m fine.” Of course, she knew why he’d asked her that question. Now that things had happened, there was no need to worry.

Emily sat down next to him with a plate of fruit in her arms and ate it greedily. However, when he heard the male voice on the phone, he couldn’t help but be curious.

But suddenly she was bored with their conversation, so she lost interest.

After hanging up, Michelle sat on the sofa with a pillow in her arms and continued to watch TV. There wasn’t much expression on her face. Emily wasn’t a talker, so she didn’t ask.

But I was sure it wasn’t Scott calling. However, when he saw Michelle frown, he was curious about the identity of the other party.

“Is it a man who is secretly in love with you?” She tilted her head to hear him clearly.

However, she was nudged by Michelle.

“What’s on your mind? Could you be more serious? I’m fine now. You should go home now. “

Michelle didn’t hesitate to shoo her away. But actually she was reluctant to do so, it was just a joke. As far as she was concerned, Emily was her only best friend.

A close friend?

It’s when you’re needy, helpless or alone that you’ll run away the first time.

“Michelle, I’m sorry. Please let me go I’ve just returned to China with trepidation and left before having any fun. “

Emily begged as she gripped Michelle’s arm tightly, not wanting to let her go.

One day, Michelle finally decided to go home. She and Emily sat in the back of Scott’s car, talking and laughing with each other.

The car drove slowly towards the Happiness District. Michelle and Scott raised their hands to their arms and Emily had to follow them alone.

“Walter, how could you …”

As soon as they entered the room, Michelle and Scott saw him sitting on the couch. Suddenly, Michelle’s smile disappeared. It seemed she hadn’t welcomed him into her home.

Looking at them standing at the door, Walter was scared, but he still got up from the sofa.

“Michelle, I’m so glad to see you,” he endured the discomfort in his heart and greeted her.

Michelle never thought she would come at this moment.

The situation was a little awkward. Emily, who was standing behind them, looked at Walter. At that moment, he felt his heart beating so fast!

“Emily, you’re here too. Come on!” After Olivia left the kitchen and saw a group of people in the room, she was extremely happy. She knew her daughter would come back safe and sound.

Because she hadn’t received the news in advance, Olivia hadn’t prepared many dishes.

“I’m going to prepare even more dishes.” After glancing at the dishes on the table, Olivia turned and was about to go to the kitchen, but Scott stopped her the next second, “Don’t bother, Auntie. Let’s eat out to celebrate. “

After hesitating for a moment, Olivia smiled and nodded. The dishes were put in the fridge and could be heated the next day. In any case, it was a real gift from Scott. Besides, his daughter had had so much trouble, which was the main reason she was celebrating.

Then they went downstairs. As there were only four of them, Walter was left alone.

“It doesn’t matter. I drove here. “Standing in front of the car, Walter said calmly.

But when he turned around, Emily ran up to him and opened the door of the black car. Walter was stunned and turned to look at her.

Emily was tall and thin, with snow-white skin and bright blue eyes, making her look like a doll.

“Will you drive my car?” He asked.

Emily said nothing, but nodded sincerely. Being a gentleman, Walter didn’t refuse.

In the passenger seat, Emily occasionally looked at the person sitting next to her, then turned her head to laugh.

Walter, who was driving attentively, did not notice her, for his heart had rushed to the car in front.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, a waiter greeted excitedly, “Sorry, how many people are you?”

“Five.”

Michelle glanced at Scott and saw that she had no intention of speaking. Then she answered immediately to ease the embarrassment.

A waiter led some people into the restaurant’s private room, and another waiter also politely placed the menu in front of them. Emily seemed very rude. He perused the menu and smiled suddenly. He looked at Walter beside him and asked, “What do you like to eat?”

“I…” Walter was puzzled by Emily’s enthusiasm.

This foreign girl really is outgoing, he thought.

Emily was a little worried when she discovered that Walter couldn’t give her the answer. He looked at the menu and ordered various dishes he liked.

Scott looked here and there, but couldn’t find anything he liked to eat. He closed the menu and looked at the waiter, “what’s the best in your restaurant?”

“We…”

“Bring the best food in your restaurant here.” It was Walter who spoke and his words were very generous.

Michelle could feel their mutual jealousy for her. She didn’t like this kind of environment and she didn’t want the two brothers to be separated by it.

“Scott, we’ve ordered enough. We don’t need to serve anymore. Well, if that’s not enough, we can ask for a little more. “

Michelle looked at Scott and said softly. But it was only because of her action that Walter was growing increasingly disgruntled.
