Chapter 174 He Left Decisively

When Emily saw the man charging toward her, she ran toward the backyard as fast as she could.

The out–of–control man raised the blade and chased after her, intent on striking her down.

Due to the natural speed difference between men and women, Emily was on the verge of being caught when Alexander appeared from nowhere. He kicked the man hard in the waist. The man staggered and fell heavily to the ground, the cleaver flying out of his hand.

Alexander reacted immediately and kicked the blade straight into the swimming pool.

Everything happened in a split second. Emily’s legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the ground.

Alexander subdued the man and didn’t release him until security arrived.

Emily sat on the ground in a daze, her eyes unfocused.

Alexander walked over, wrapped his arms around her, gently patted her back, and said in a soothing voice, “It’s over. You’re safe now.”

Emily looked in the direction of the banquet hall and faintly caught sight of Ethan leaving with Nancy in his arms.

He left decisively, without a second thought about her still being at the banquet.

Emily thought that even if he didn’t love her, he would not be so indifferent to her safety.

Once he was certain that Nancy was safe, he should have come back to the banquet hall to look for her.

But in the end, it was just wishful thinking. Ethan never returned, and he didn’t even call.

He had said he was coming to pick her up, yet in the end, the one he took away was Nancy.

Seeing Emily lost in thought, Alexander followed her line of sight.

He saw Ethan and Nancy as well.

Guessing what was causing Emily’s distress, Alexander let out a scornful snort and said, “Emily, you entrusted your happiness to the wrong person. You failed yourself, and you…”

And you failed me even more.

But Alexander didn’t say those words out loud.

Emily was indeed heartbroken, but after a while, she came to understand it.

If Ethan didn’t love her, how could he possibly care whether she lived or died?

Once she regained her composure, Emily said to Alexander, “Thank you for what you did just now.”

Alexander turned his face away, refusing to look at her, and asked in a low voice, “Do you regret it?”

Emily answered honestly, “I do.”

After saying that, she stood up, intending to leave the banquet.

Alexander walked alongside her and said, “If you already know it isn’t worth it, why waste time being sad over it?”

Emily stopped and looked at him. “Alexander, I really am calm now.”

That was the truth, even though emotions weren’t always so easily restrained.

After all, it had been eight years, nearly three thousand days and nights.

Alexander said nothing more, but he insisted on escorting Emily back. Even if it meant taking her all the way to Wilson Manor, he refused to leave her on her own.

When they returned to Wilson Manor, Matthew was still

awake.

Seeing Emily enter the hall, he stood up at once and asked, “Emily, why did you come back alone?”

Emily had already prepared her explanation. “Ethan brought me back, but he had something else to take care of, so he left again.”

Matthew was still uneasy and asked with concern, “What happened? Did the two of you argue?”

Emily gave a faint smile and said, “We didn’t argue.”

She had long since stopped caring enough to argue.

Matthew remained unconvinced, but he still said, “You and Ethan should take good care of your relationship. Once your health improves, you should have another child.”

Emily didn’t want to waste time arguing with Matthew, so she responded, “All right.”

After exchanging a few more words, Emily went upstairs to

rest.

Half–asleep in the middle of the night, Emily felt the mattress

sink beside her.

The next moment, she was pulled into someone’s arms.

Emily was a light sleeper. She opened her eyes immediately and, by the moonlight filtering through the window, recognized the person holding her. It was Ethan.
