Chapter 394
394 – Han Shuo’s promise
After leaving Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, Han Shuo had originally decided to return to his residence. However, he discovered through his mystical demon that Emily and Phoebe were walking out of her room.
Contrary to Han Shuo’s expectations, Emily’s eyes were red, as though she cried. Phoebe, who originally came to admonish Emily was not as overbearing as he had imagined and was instead repeatedly persuading Emily.
Holding each other’s hands, their friendship had deepened since the time when they were in the Valley of Sunshine. Emily’s eyes were red as she continuously took tissues to wipe the corners of her eyes, her miserable appearance causing others to feel pity for her. Phoebe gently supported Emily as she sighed, “Elder sister, I was rude. I didn’t know your life had been like this.”
“Let it pass Phoebe, it’s already hard for you to be able to forgive me. I am indeed at fault regarding this matter. An unexpected combination of factors just so happened to occur. Ai…” Emily gently wiped the corner of her eyes as she confided in Phoebe.
“Alright, alright. We’ve almost reached your doorstep, you should head back in and not let others see you in this state. It’s all that guy’s fault, not yours. I’ll settle scores with him and shouldn’t have caused trouble for you.” Phoebe persuaded Emily, stubbornly urging her to return to her room.
“Phoebe, thank you. You are a good woman, no wonder he likes you so much.” After entering her room, Emily held Phoebe’s hand and said sincerely.
“Haiz, I wouldn’t have expected that Sister’s life was worse than mine. I had always thought that as a daughter-in-law of Betteridge Family and also having a brother who wields great authority, your life was surely more blessed than mine. Let’s forget it, I will be leaving first. It’s already quite late, you should get some rest.” After she finished speaking, Phoebe released Emily’s hands from her grasp and departed from Emily’s residence.
Han Shuo had heard the whole conversation through his mystical demon, causing him to momentarily feel puzzled. He had originally believed that even if both of them did not cause a ruckus, they would be ridiculing and abusing each other. Who would have thought that the matter would turn out in this way?
Altering his direction, Han Shuo headed towards Betteridge Family. Emily who had just wept precisely needed his comfort at this moment. No matter the situation, Han Shuo did not wish for Emily to be hurt. Having made this decision in his heart, he hastened over.
Ever since Emily and Han Shuo got together, she had always considered his needs and gave her all in doing things for him. As he gazed at the woman fast asleep in front of him, Han Shuo started unwittingly reminiscing about the past. The more he recalled past events between the two of them, the guiltier he felt.
“Ai, I owe you too much, it has been hard on you.” Han Shuo sighed, muttering to himself as he gently caressed Emily’s face.
“Everything was by my own will, I have never blamed you. Besides, I know you treat me well, there’s nothing to feel guilty about.” The side of Emily’s lips suddenly curled into a blissful smile, as she opened her eyes after finishing her sentence.
“Oh? Why have you woken up so quickly and not sleep a while more?” Seeing Emily awaken, Han Shuo couldn’t help but knit his brows as he gently chided her.
“It’s alright. After having sex with you, I could feel the mysterious energy you left within me. This energy has helped me improve my body, which is why I could recover so quickly. Bryan, everything was really of my own will. I know that your heart actually aches for me, but so long as you love me, I don’t hope for anything else. After all, my identity has been fixed.” Emily stretched out her hand to caress Han Shuo’s firm face, smiling as she spoke softly.
“You will definitely get a formal status soon. I swear that I will give it to you, this is something you deserve!” Han Shuo looked at Emily who had done much for him and promised resolutely.
“Bryan, do you want to know what is Phoebe’s stance regarding our relationship?” Emily had a joyous expression, kissing his chest before smiling as she asked.
“No matter what Phoebe’s stance is, it will not affect our relationship. Even if she firmly disagrees, it wouldn’t change a thing. Don’t worry, I will talk to Phoebe about this.” Han Shuo promised once again, determined to not let Emily suffer any grievances.
“Gege, your words really made me happy!” Emily chuckled and continued, “In any case, Phoebe agreed!”
