That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Meanwhile, at the Thornton villa.

Ever since Victor had driven her out that day, Emma had been in low spirits.

In the past, Lily would have spoken up for her, but she didn’t that day, which could only mean that even Lily couldn’t help her anymore.

Realizing this, Emma felt utterly despondent.

She wasn’t a fool; after waiting for Victor for so many years, she naturally knew that Victor might never have intended to marry her.

But she always held onto a sliver of hope, especially with Lily supporting her all along.

She always believed that as long as she could wait, Victor would eventually marry her.

But she never expected that what she would end up waiting for was Olivia’s return and Victor repeatedly stating his intention to break off the engagement.

After a day of cooling down at home, Emma still harbored a glimmer of hope and mustered the courage to visit Lily.

Seeing her arrival, Lily was momentarily surprised but then welcomed her in as usual.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Madam, am I disturbing your rest?” Emma asked, her face full of guilt.

Lily felt guilty towards Emma because of Victor’s intention to break off the engagement. Moreover, she had always liked Emma. She smiled nonchalantly, “I consider you like a daughter. There’s no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing. Just think of this as your home.”

Emma gave a self-deprecating smile. “You used to say you considered me as your daughter-in-law, but today…”

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Emma paused, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued calmly, “I came today to apologize. Over the years, I’ve made many mistakes while staying by Victor and your side. I know you tolerated me because of the Thornton family’s kindness to Victor. Now that Victor wants to sever ties with me, I should apologize to you and hope you can forgive my past recklessness.”

After speaking, she looked pitifully at Lily. “But I hope you know that I always saw myself as Victor’s future wife. Whatever I did in the past was with good intentions for you all. Sometimes good intentions lead to mistakes; I never meant it. In the future, I won’t be able to stay by your side like before. I hope you can forgive my past actions.”

Seeing her holding back tears, Lily felt a pang of sorrow.

Over the years, she had indeed seen Emma as her future daughter-in-law and was very satisfied with her.

Her son’s sudden decision left her feeling caught off guard.

Emma’s words just now struck a chord with her heart, making her cherish Emma’s past companionship even more.

“Emma, don’t rush; this matter isn’t settled yet.” Lily said tenderly, getting up to sit beside Emma and comforting her by hugging her shoulders.

Emma gave a bitter smile. “Madam, I know Victor’s temperament all too well. He’s already said it to that extent; there’s really no room for turning back. It’s okay. If you ever feel lonely in the future, you can still find me. In my heart, you’re just like my mother.”

Lily was even more moved and thought for a moment before promising, “Emma, don’t rush. As long as the news of your broken engagement hasn’t spread, there’s still room for maneuvering. After some time when Victor has calmed down, I’ll talk to him.”

Emma’s goal was achieved, but she still maintained a pitiful appearance and nodded bitterly.
