Chapter 1216 Taylor Helps Emily To Hide Her Sickness From Jacob (1/2)

Taylor simply couldn't control herself anymore and finally exploded. While Taylor was frantic, Louis was rather calm. He merely regarded her with his cold blue eyes.

A minute later, after she had calmed down somewhat, Taylor drew in a deep raggedy breath. Fixing her eyes on Louis's face, she said in an unearthly calm tone, ”Mr. Ke, I don't think it's necessary for us to meet again in the future. Thank you for everything you have done for me in the past. I think I have now more than repaid your favor tonight.”

After she had spoken, Taylor turned around and quickly walked off. The dark night was quite windy, and Taylor clutched at the long red dress to keep it under control as she disappeared into the lonely city. All the while, Louis's eyes followed her until she was gone from sight.

About an hour and a half later, Taylor finally got home. Clocking her wrist, she noticed that it was already half past ten.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, she saw her daughter, Amy, asleep on the sofa. At the sight of her small shape curled up among the cushions, Taylor's heart swelled with a warm glow.

She looked at her daughter with a soft light in her eyes.

Taylor gently dropped her bag on the nearby chair, came to the sofa, and pulled her child lovingly into her arms.

The moment she wrapped her arms around Amy, the little girl woke up. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and asked, ”Mom, you're back?”

Taylor smiled with true joy upon hearing her daughter's high-pitched voice chirping at her. ”Yes. I'm back, darling,” she replied fondly.

”Mom, you are home so late tonight,” Amy softly whined at her mom.

”I'm sorry. I won't be back so late again. Where is Becky?”

Taylor asked as she felt a wave of guilt flood her heart. Over the past few years, Amy had been living with her, and she had always been a sensible and thoughtful girl. Sometimes, if Taylor was going to be late to get home, she would ask her pay-by-the-hour maid to stay longer and wait with Amy for her.

But today, when she arrived home, she didn't see Becky around.

”Becky said she had to go home at her normal time. So I decided to wait for you in the living room with the light on. I was worried that you would be afraid when it grew dark,” Amy told Taylor in a voice like a little wife.

Upon hearing Amy's caring words, Taylor's eyes filled with a tender loving light. She picked Amy up and carried her to the bedroom, where she tucked her in ”as snug as a bug in a rug” and left.

When she was about to leave, Amy suddenly spoke up. ”Mom, I saw Grandpa today.”
