Because I Was an and He Threw Away 125

Chapter 125 The Lying Girl 

It was not only Ethan. Everyone in the Wilson family liked Emily’s cooking. 

It was not because her dishes were elaborate or showy, but because she always remembered each person’s preferences and dietary restrictions with precision. 

Yet tonight’s dinner still felt as though something was missing. 

It was not poorly made. It simply lacked the dishes Ethan loved. 

There was soup, seafood, vegetables, and a simple side dish. 

The spread looked balanced and thoughtful, but not a single item was something Ethan especially favored. Several of the dishes, on the other hand, were clearly chosen with Sophia’s tastes in mind. 

When Ethan picked up his utensils, he hesitated for a moment, unsure where to start. 

Thinking of Emily from before, he had to admit that she truly had changed. 

In the past, he would not even need to reach out. She would already have placed his favorite food on his plate.

Ethan glanced at her without drawing, attention. Her head was lowered, her lashes casting a faint shadow under the light. Her expression was calm, almost too calm. That stillness made him unaccustomed, even unsettled. 

Although the meal didn’t fully suit his taste, Ethan was not particularly picky. He finished it anyway. 

When he set his utensils down, Emily was still drinking her soup. Ethan withdrew his gaze and looked at Sophia, asking casually, “Sophie, what did you learn at school today?” 

Sophia put her cup down, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and answered immediately. “Today we learned some new words and did math exercises. During activity time, the teacher had 

us draw autumn.” 

She paused and then added as if she had just remembered, “Oh, and the teacher said there’s an outdoor activity next week. 

Parents can come too.” 

She sounded excited. As she mentioned the outing, she looked at Ethan and then at Emily. 

Emily heard her clearly and understood what Sophia meant. 

Ethan spoke before she could. “Sophie, let Mom-” 

He had not expected himself to suggest that Emily attend the 2/5 

activity.

Before he could finish, Emily looked at Sophia and cut him off. “Sophie, let Daddy go with you. Mommy is on duty next week and also has a charity clinic.” 

After hearing this, Sophia thought for a moment and then turned to Ethan, her eyes full of anticipation. 

Faced with his daughter’s gaze, Ethan could only say, “If I have time, I’ll go with you.” 

Sophia immediately became overjoyed. “That’s great. If you go with me and I get tired, you can carry me.” 

Ethan reached out and pinched her cheek lightly, smiling faintly. “All right.” 

Sophia went on talking, but Emily no longer paid attention. 

Ethan, however, kept glancing at Emily from time to time, trying to figure out what she was thinking. 

Had she not always cared most about their daughter? 

How could she bring herself to refuse to participate in Sophia’s kindergarten activity? 

Even though it was not the first time, Ethan still found it hard to believe that Emily would make such a choice.

After dinner, Emily took Sophia upstairs to wash up.

Once they were done, Sophia, dressed in pink pajamas and hugging her teddy bear, asked, “Mommy, can I go see Daddy?” 

Emily replied, “Mm.” 

Sophia was delighted. Hugging the bear, she hopped out of the bedroom and went to Ethan’s room. 

Watching her so happy, Emily let out a bitter smile. 

After taking her own shower, Emily realized she had forgotten to bring her skincare products. 

Ethan had some in his room, so she decided to go over briefly. 

When she reached the door, she was about to push it open when she heard Sophia’s cheerful voice inside. “Nancy, look. I’m all clean and smell nice now. What about you? What are you doing?” 

Nancy replied, “My mom was hospitalized. I just got back from the hospital.” 

Sophia’s voice softened. “Oh… then your mom has to rest more. You must be really tired.” 

Nancy paused for a moment before replying gently, “That’s very kind of you, Sophie.” 

standing at the door, Emily felt her heart sink, wave after

After a moment’s hesitation, she clenched her teeth and pushed the door open. 

As soon as the door opened, Sophia turned around. Seeing Emily, she blinked guiltily and said, “Mommy, I’m keeping Daddy company while he’s in a meeting.” 

Emily looked at Sophia, coldness spreading through her eyes. 

She had taught Sophia never to lie, and Sophia had agreed so earnestly. 

Now, lying came naturally. 

Emily didn’t correct her. She already knew it was too late. 

Her heart hurt, but she no longer wanted to intervene. 

If Ethan didn’t care, why should she care so much? 

Emily replied flatly, “Mm.”
