No…
She never said it.
Seeing Emmett’s reaction, Taylor felt a pang in his heart. “Clara is a nice girl. She might be by your side because
you’ve been good to her. She doesn’t want to hurt you. But whether she loves you… that’s hard to say. Emmett,
you’re rich, powerful, and wealthy but can’t buy a person’s Heart. So why chase after Clara? You can find someone
who loves you”
“She never said she loved me, but she never said she loved you
either.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“She did,” Taylor returned to his seat, picking up a talking doll. “This is what Clara gave me for my birthday. Listen.”
He pressed the switch on the doll, and Clara’s sweet voice flowed out…
Taylor, happy birthday! It’s been tough for both of us; I know it’s even harder for you with all the pressure from your
parents. But even so, you’ve chosen to stay with me. I’m really touched! I don’t have anything precious to give you
right now, so I’ll give you a promise. I won’t let you down as long as you don’t let me down! And… I love you.”
“Mr. Melendez, you should recognize Clara’s voice, right? I hope you can let us be.”
Emmett didn’t even know how he left the coffee shop or returned to the office.
It wasn’t until Clara tapped him on the shoulder that Emmett returned to reality.
“What’s wrong?”
Clara was delivering his schedule when she noticed him standing at the office door looking lost.
“Nothing…” Emmett stiffly moved his lips and walked back to his desk.
“Are you not feeling well?” Clara noticed his odd behavior and asked with concern. “It’s a season change; take care
of yourself. If you’re not feeling well, go see a doctor. Don’t push yourself. It’s not just you suffering and you have
two kids at home. It’s not good if they get sick.”
Emmett glanced at her and murmured, “Hmm, did you need something?”
“I’m just delivering your schedule!” Clara placed the schedule on his desk and reached out to feel his forehead.
But Emmett avoided her touch!
Feeling awkward, Clara retracted her hand.
“…If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. There’s a design team meeting later, and I need to prepare.”
Although she didn’t know why Emmett behaved this way, Clara knew she was not good at comforting people, so

However, as she reached the door, Emmett suddenly spoke, “You and Taylor…”
Upon hearing the name, Clara froze.
“What kind of relationship did you have?”
“… Why are you asking this all of a sudden?” Clara’s eyes darted away, “What kind of relationship could we have?
We were just ordinary friends.”
“Clara, why won’t you tell me the truth?”
“I’m just telling you the facts! When we were registering our marriage, you knew it was my first time getting
married, so what could my relationship with Taylor possibly have been?”
“…Today, Taylor and I had a long talk.” Emmett looked into her eyes.
“Did he talk about me?”
“What else could we possibly discuss.”
