Chapter 1074 Making Up The Lie (2/2)

Emily didn't want to recall the terrible fever-dream that she had experienced last night, so she explained it simply using as few words as possible. She knew that by doing so, she could alleviate Hunk and Louis's doubts.

”Oh, I see. That isn't so terrible...”

'Luckily, Emily just had a nightmare, and there's nothing seriously wrong, ' Louis thought with relief. After hearing Emily's explanation, he nodded his head with understanding and didn't give it another thought.

After all, it was natural for girls to have nightmares. He had seen a lot of people doing strange things when they woke up after their nightmares, and they sometimes failed for a moment to recover from the fear of the nightmare.

allowing her long hair to tumble forward to veil her face and cover her face to hide all her bad feelings.

If Louis and Hunk insisted on going with her, how would she find the chance to meet with Jacob?

But Emily knew that if she told them the truth, it would only make them even more worried, so she could only continue to lie.

”Louis... Hunk... Actually... Actually, I lied to you. I don't want to go away on a trip. I just want to go and find Rita. I'm worried about her. She needs my company now. She is going to have a baby any day now. But she is very weak, and she has suffered so badly. She is my only friend. So...”

With a deep breath, Emily's eyes suddenly became resolute. There was a faint smile on her dry and bitter lips, and her expression had also become peaceful, making it hard for Louis and Hunk to tell whether her words were true or not.

”I just lied to you because I'm afraid that you will worry about me, and won't allow me to go. I have experienced loss so many times, and Rita is my only friend. I want to be there for her. Don't worry about me. I won't be there for too long. I will come back frequently and keep you informed of my situation!”

Emily raised her head slightly, and blinked her clear eyes, while her lips curled into a sweet smile. The way she spoke with such a sweet voice stunned Louis.

Rita?

To keep her company?

Hunk and Louis were both experienced men. How could they not notice that Emily was making excuses?

Louis had a rough idea of what she really wanted to do.

”Yvonne, actually, I think...”

Louis raised his eyebrows slightly while his eyes grew cold and disappointed. His voice was bitter and firm, but he was suddenly interrupted by Hunk.
