Chapter 48 Her Softened Heart (2/2)

The fireworks exploded in the sky, with vivacious colours, one after another, but unfortunately, the protagonists had already left.

Emily returned home without warning. When she got in, she saw her father and mother sitting together, trying to sort things out. When they heard her voice, they move around quickly as if to hide something from her.
