Chapter 4

In the evening, a friend invited us out for their birthday dinner.

Just as I was about to enter, I heard Lucas's cold voice coming from inside the private room:

"Every Valentine's Day she has to make a fuss."

"Ignore her, I bet within two weeks, she'll be back crying and begging to make up."

I gripped the door handle, not pushing it open.

Ryan next to me quickly explained: "Emmy, don't listen to him, he's drunk and talking nonsense! I'll scold him for you!"

He was about to push the door open.

I held him back, shaking my head.

I had loved him for eight years, giving my all, thinking even the coldest heart could be warmed.

Ryan was still muttering: "They're just chatting nonsense, you know they're never serious..."

I took a deep breath, handing the gift to Ryan:

"Help me give this to Jason, wish him happy birthday, I won't go in."

"Okay, hey..."

Just as I was about to turn and leave, the door to the private room suddenly opened.

Jason stood in the doorway, we both froze for a moment.

He didn't know I had already heard Lucas's words, and pulled me in: "Emmy's here, come on in!"

This dinner was not only to celebrate Jason's birthday, but also arranged to persuade Lucas and me to reconcile.

Jason made me sit opposite Lucas: "Lucas, Emmy is so good, you've been together for so many years, don't let things get so tense."

Lucas didn't look at me once, but the veins on the back of his hand gripping the glass were bulging.

Ryan quickly gave Jason a look.

Before Ryan could pull me up, Lucas finally spoke:

"Emma, I've said before, I'm just helping Olivia out, giving her the title of Mrs. Shen. We can still be like before."

"I'll wait for you at home."

I coldly replied: "I came to celebrate Jason's birthday, not to listen to your nonsense."

Lucas irritably took a sip of wine: "Jason is my friend, why do you need to come celebrate his birthday?"

Jason couldn't stand it anymore and directly confronted him: "Lucas, you've gone too far! Emmy is my friend too, I invited her here."

I looked up, meeting his gaze seriously: "Lucas, think it through. Her or me!"

With that, I got up to leave.

As I closed the door, I heard Ryan say: "Lucas, choose Emmy, otherwise you'll definitely regret it."

"Shut up." Lucas's voice was full of anger.

I didn't look back.
