Chapter 7
"Lucas, you shouldn't talk about Sophia like that. Maybe she's just upset about what you said to her, that's why she's not answering your calls."
"Why don't I try to talk to Sophia for you?"
Hearing these words, my soul floating in the air couldn't help but sneer.
Doesn't Emma find this two-faced act exhausting?
If I hadn't truly seen the dark side of her heart, I could never have imagined that a person could be so different behind closed doors.
Hearing Emma's words, Lucas smiled slightly at her.
"Emma, you're always so understanding. Sophia usually treats you so poorly, yet you're still here defending her to me."
"We've known each other for over twenty years, and you've become increasingly gentle and considerate. I was truly blind to have fallen in love with a vicious woman like Sophia back then."
"Emma, ever since Lily left us, you've been by my side, taking care of me, accompanying me through this difficult time. I really should thank you properly. If it weren't for you, I honestly don't know what I would have done."
Emma's hand slowly grasped Lucas's.
"Lucas, don't say such formal things to me. You know you're the one I've always liked."
Their eyes met, and I saw Emma start to lean towards Lucas. She tilted her head slightly and kissed the corner of his lips.
Lucas's body stiffened for a moment, but it was only for an instant. Then he took control, his hand pulling her waist to make her sit on his lap. His fingers held the back of her head, deepening the kiss.
The quiet environment was filled with the continuous sound of their passionate embrace.
A wave of nausea suddenly rushed to my head. I covered my mouth, afraid that I might throw up in front of them the next second.
The two of them continued to be intimate on the couch. I could clearly see a flash of triumph in Emma's slightly open eyes.
That look reminded me of the expression of satisfaction she had when she bullied me behind closed doors, making me kneel before her.
The memories I thought had died came rushing back to attack me.
