Exhausted from the past two days, Ethan Smith quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after he entered his dream world, Hugh Taylor’s car arrived and parked downstairs of the hotel.
“Mr. Taylor, Miss Taylor is staying here,” Cato Cain said, bowing.
Hugh Taylor nodded and said, “Take me upstairs.”
“Yes, Mr. Taylor.” Cato Cain hurriedly led the way, taking Hugh Taylor straight to Emily Taylor’s room.
Emily Taylor had been awake for a while, having hardly slept at all the previous night.
“Emily, it’s time to go back,” Hugh Taylor said calmly.
Emily Taylor nodded and replied, “I know.”
“Let’s go then,” Hugh Taylor said, his voice heavy.
Biting her lip, Emily Taylor got up and went to Ethan Smith’s room, wanting to say goodbye to him.
However, Ethan was sleeping soundly, and Emily couldn’t bear to disturb him.
The group stood around Ethan for a while without speaking.
“Let’s go,” Emily Taylor murmured quietly.
“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to him?” Hugh Taylor asked. Emily Taylor steeled herself and shook her head. “No.” “Then let’s go,” Hugh Taylor said, striding towards the door.
As they were about to leave the room, Ethan Smith suddenly mumbled these words in his sleep.
Emily Taylor froze, her footsteps involuntarily stopping in their tracks.
As she turned around, she realized that Ethan was only talking in his sleep.
“He’s even calling your name in his dreams,” Hugh Taylor sighed.
Emily Taylor felt even more miserable. Biting her lip, she suddenly said,
“Father, wait for me a moment.”
She hurried back to her room, grabbed a pen, and began writing quickly on a piece of paper.
She wrote and rewrote, making changes and crossing things out, filling a whole page with her words.
But no matter what she wrote, Emily Taylor wasn’t satisfied.
She then quickly wrote down a few words: I’m going back to Capital City; take care of yourself.
These brief words conveyed Emily Taylor’s most sincere feelings.
She placed the note on Ethan’s bedside table and gently kissed his forehead.
“Let’s go,” Emily Taylor turned and walked away without hesitation.
Emily Taylor’s eyes were glued to the direction of Ethan’s room.
“Let’s go,” Emily Taylor waved her hand.
“Yes, Miss,” the driver started the car.
At this moment, Ethan Smith suddenly woke up in bed.
He felt a sense of unease in his heart, sitting up on the bed, his head a little foggy.
Soon, Ethan saw the note left on his bedside table.
Ethan hastily opened the note, discovering the words Emily Taylor had written.
“Miss…Miss Taylor…” Ethan’s face suddenly changed, as if his heart had been stabbed!
He rushed to the window and looked out.
The Taylor family’s car was downstairs, about to leave.
“Emily!” Ethan Smith yelled with all his might!
Afterward, he sprinted desperately down the stairs!
Unfortunately, the car had excellent soundproofing, and Emily Taylor couldn’t hear Ethan Smith’s voice.
By the time Ethan Smith reached the ground floor, the car started and slowly drove away.
Ethan Smith’s face turned extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and chased the car with all his strength.
“Miss Taylor! Emily!” Ethan Smith used all of his energy, desperately chasing the car.
In the car.Emily Taylor’s mood was terrible.
Although they hadn’t spent much time together, Ethan Smith had already left an imprint in Emily Taylor’s heart.
“Maybe in a year, this guy will really make it to Capital City.” Hugh Taylor comforted.
“Not maybe, definitely.” Emily’s tone was firmly determined.
“Let’s hope so.” Hugh Taylor nodded.
The car was speeding up, but Ethan Smith behind them showed no sign of giving up.
His forehead was covered in sweat, as he chased and shouted frantically.
“Miss, there seems to be someone chasing us from behind.” Finally, the driver noticed Ethan Smith desperately pursuing them through the rearview mirror. Hearing this, Emily hurriedly opened the car window and looked back.
“Stop the car!” Emily exclaimed urgently. “Miss, we…”
“I said stop the car!” Emily shouted harshly.
The driver dared not defy Emily’s wishes and quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Emily got out of the car and walked towards Ethan Smith.
The mutual pursuit made Ethan even more impulsive.
He ran up to Emily and pulled her into his arms!
“Damn this kid!” Cato Cain in the car was instantly furious and was about to push the door and step out, but Hugh Taylor stopped him. “Let them be.” Hugh Taylor waved dismissively.
Seeing this, Cato Cain could only say no more.
“Are you leaving now, why so hurried…” Ethan said with some pain.
Emily was still the gentle and generous Emily Taylor.
She reached up to wipe Ethan’s tears, smiling, “A real man doesn’t shed tears so easily.”
Ethan wiped away the light of tears at the corner of his eyes and said with great pain, “Can you not go?”
“I cannot.” Emily said without hesitation.
“I’ve spent enough time in River City. It’s time to return to Capital City.” Emily smiled.
“But… but I don’t want you to leave…” Ethan said rather weakly. Their days together had become a part that Ethan couldn’t let go.
A day apart felt like three seasons.
That was Ethan’s state of mind right now.
Emily extended her hand, gently patted Ethan’s head, and smiled softly, “If you want to see me, come to Capital City to find me.”
“In a year, I’ll be waiting for you in Capital City, waiting for you to marry me.” Ethan couldn’t hold back once again, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.
But he didn’t want Emily to worry, and he certainly didn’t want Emily to be disappointed, so he held back his grief.
“Definitely, I’ll go to Capital City in a year to marry you. Wait for me!” Ethan clenched his teeth and said.
“Emily, it’s time to go.” In the car, Hugh Taylor said calmly.
Emily glanced at Hugh Taylor, then looked at Ethan Smith and said, “Ethan, from now on, you’ll have to rely on yourself.”
“When dealing with certain people… you can’t be too soft-hearted, or else you’ll be taken advantage of, okay?”
“In a year, I’ll be waiting for you in Capital City, waiting for you to marry me.” With that, Emily Taylor walked back towards the car without looking back.
These words echoed in Ethan’s mind.
His heart felt pierced by countless needles, unbearable pain.
Just as the car was about to start, Ethan suddenly thought of something.
He quickly shouted, “Emily, wait!”
The car halted again.
Ethan anxiously ran to the front of the car and took out the jade pendant, handing it to Emily.
“Emily, this jade pendant is a gift from me to you. You must wear it at all times!” Ethan said with some excitement.
Emily took the jade pendant and smiled, “Alright, I will..”
