Chapter 594 A Big Secret (1/2)

Magee stared into her eyes and said, ”You don't have to apologize to me. It was not your fault anyway.”

Emily looked back at him and asked, ”Why are you here? Did you come to see me for something?”

”Yes!” His eyes wasn't able to conceal the mixed feelings in the corner of his eyes. Magee continued, ”Rose died in prison. I heard she spent her last moments in a great deal of pain.”

Emily stood there frozen and shook her head in disbelief. All kinds of thoughts and emotions whirled in her head.

What was the last time she had thought of Rose? It was too long ago for Emily to remember.

Jack passed away, and now Rose had died as well. But the betrayal and pain they brought to her still remained. And yet none of that could even compare to the torture Emily was experiencing now.

No person could bear to watch the one they love turn into a complete stranger for the remainder of their lives.

”Are you upset?” Magee was puzzled by her reaction and said, ”I thought you would be happy to hear about the death of the person you hated so much.”

”I have neither the time nor the strength to think about other people's problems. The current predicament I'm in is overwhelming enough as it is.” Emily slowly shook her head and continued, ”Is that all you've come here to tell me?”

”Of course not.” Despite being a smooth-talker with women, Magee stuttered in front of Emily, ”I wanted to ask you an important question.”

”What?”

”Would you like to leave with me?”

”What are you talking about?” Emily's eyes widened and she could not believe what she had just heard from Magee.

Magee's ears turned red with embarrassment. He cleared his throat and asked seriously, ”I said, would you like to leave this place with me?”

”No!” Emily refused him without a second thought, and she continued, ”I don't know why you asked me that, but I hope you stay away from my personal matter. We should stay respect each other's boundaries as friends.”
