Sure, here’s the translation:
As soon as Carlos finished speaking, Emily raised her hand and forcefully pushed him away. She glared at him, her eyes red like they were burning with fire: "Carlos, are you treating like a fool?"
So, he knew everything, laid the trap long ago, and even their marriage could be treated as a joke by him.
She once thought he might have his reasons, but this "for her good" concealnt hurts more than blatant harm.
He should have been the closest person to her, yet he kept her away from all troubles, making her feel like an idiot, waiting for the day the truth would co out.
"Emily!"
Carlos stepped forward, wanting to explain, the Prisnet was too strong, only by uprooting them could she and the child be safe.
But as he reached out to touch her arm, Emily flung it away.
At this mont, the only thought in Emily’s mind was: Leave, imdiately get away from here, the further from Carlos, the better.
Only then would her heart stop hurting so painfully.
Aaron was scared stiff by the commotion, despite being clever, he’s just a few-year-old child, unable to understand the love and resentnt between adults.
His small hand clung tightly around his mom’s neck, suddenly feeling a cool patch on his cheek, it was his mom’s tears.
In his mory, mom was always smiling, never cried.
"Mommy, don’t cry," Aaron pressed his chubby little face against hers, softly coaxing, his voice tinged with a nasal sound of grievance, "Dad lied to mom, we don’t want dad anymore, we’ll leave with sister."
As he said this, he snuck a glance back, only to see dad standing alone not far away, not daring to co after them.
Emily did not look back, holding Aaron, she headed straight back to the apartnt.
Later, Linda White and Adam Willow were caught together, and after the news was released, Mrs. Carter and Maria Carter only found out that Aaron had been kidnapped?
In the subsequent three days, calls and ssages from The Prescott ca like a tide, with explanations, with concerns, but Emily didn’t reply to any or answer any.
Until early morning on the fourth day, Emily sent Carlos a ssage, with only one sentence: "See you at the civil affairs bureau entrance at ten in the morning."
She wanted a divorce.
It wasn’t an angry remark, but a decision she made in the past three days, recalling his deceits countless tis.
At daybreak, Emily called Evelyn Hanson, asking her to co over. She simply did not have the courage, to face the matter of divorce together with the children.
She prepared the divorce files, packed them into the folder, when the doorbell rang outside.
Emily thought it was Evelyn arriving, and quickly moved forward to open the door, but her steps paused when she saw who was at the door, surprisingly, it was the Governor.
The Governor was leaning on a cane, yet her back was still tall and straight, looking spirited and robust, she had a gentle smile on her face, and softly asked, "Won’t you invite in to sit?"
Before she could finish speaking, Aaron sprang out like a lively little rabbit from inside, rushing straight into the Governor’s arms.
The little one loudly called, "Grandpa, you’re here!"
Governor bowed down and ruffled his hair, the grandparents exchanged a look of mutual understanding, no words needed, Emily understood.
Governor must be the "reinforcent" Aaron intentionally brought in.
She hesitated for a mont, but eventually stepped aside, "Please co in."
The bodyguards stayed outside the door, Aaron sat obediently at the dining table having breakfast, but his gaze often darted their way, afraid his mom might be upset.
Once Governor sat down, she didn’t beat around the bush and directly confessed: "After knowing of the relationship between us father and daughter, I haven’t had a day without guilt, always pondering how I could make up to you."
Yet, he understood, any amount of compensation is futile, "Grace’s death, the fatherly love you’ve missed all these years, are things I can never repay in my lifeti."
He looked at Emily, his tone full of earnestness, "I don’t ask you to forgive imdiately, just hope you won’t let Aaron and Celeste experience again the pain of a fragnted family."
But Emily just shook her head, her determination unwavering, "I’ve made up my mind."
With that, she stood up to find the prescription paper, handing it over.
"This is what mom left, it can help you nourish your health, I plan to go abroad, and won’t co back in the future, consider this my mom’s last gift to you."
Governor may not be a good father, but he is a good leader, Zylos needs him.
Governor reached for the prescription, as soon he touched the paper, he suddenly halted: "Why are there words on the back of this prescription?"
Emily was taken aback, this prescription accidentally got a few drops of water on it previously, she didn’t give it much thought then, didn’t expect it to reveal unseen writing.
The writing was undoubtedly from her mother Grace Parker.
It was a letter Grace Parker wrote to her, filled with concern between the lines: "My Emily, by the ti you see these words, mom would be gone.
Don’t be sad, birth, old age, sickness, and death are simply natural laws, mom is just accompanying you in another way.
You thought mom was killed by Prisnet, but actually no, they didn’t have the ability to kill . I found out it was late-stage pancreatic cancer myself and decided to embrace death.
After I’m gone, Prisnet won’t keep an eye on you, you can lead a peaceful life.
I entrusted you to Henry Parker, not a rash decision.
It’s because mom knew, following him, you would be closer to your real father.
Soday, you father and daughter can reunite.
Mom also trusts, soone like Henry Parker, isn’t a match for my clever Emily.
In the future, I can’t walk with you, just hope you can find your happiness, don’t get wronged, live out your own brilliance joyfully.
Finally, if soday you could see Old Tate, please tell him for , that I never regretted loving him."
The words on the letter, revealed after so many years, Emily read them, tears blurred her eyes.
Governor held onto the prescription, his once upright back slowly hunched over, tears like broken beads fell onto his hands, he looked at the final sentence, crying like a bewildered child.
It was his missed lifelong lover, leaving her last words.
Until Emily’s hand gently laid on his back, radiating warmth, a choking "Dad," finally broke the silence in the room.
A month later, the sunshine was just right.
Emily dressed in a pristine white wedding dress, accompanied by bridesmaid Evelyn, walked out of the apartnt alongside Carlos, heading towards the waiting car outside.
Evelyn looked at Carlos, her gaze hostile, her tone full of warning: "Carlos, you owe Emily a lot, this belated wedding is just the start of your repaynt."
Carlos gripped Emily’s hand tightly, holding a bouquet, he looked at Emily with determination and said: "I’ll use a lifeti to repay everything I’ve owed her."
Emily just got onto the car when a frantic figure suddenly rushed over, blocked the car, clutching the window, refusing to let go.
Emily took a closer look, unexpectedly, it was Sophie Parker.
Sophie, hair disheveled, clothes a ss, without even wearing shoes, her feet were injured, she looked completely unhinged.
Evelyn leaned over to Emily’s ear, whisperingly said: "Henry Parker was greedy for bribery, with solid evidence, sentenced to life.
Adam Willow and Linda White t their fate too, life and death penalties respectively, heard Mrs. Parker was enraged into a stroke and hospitalized, Sophie beca like this, the Parker Family’s money was all confiscated, no one cared for her."
Sophie clung to the car window, her voice shrill and hoarse, repeatedly questioning, "Why? Why is it always you who gets happiness?
Emily, I clearly followed the dreams, swapped everyone I should, why is the ending still so terrible?"
Evelyn frowned, whispered, "She’s talking nonsense, what dream, I think she’s completely crazy, ntally ill."
Emily, however, gently raised her hand, allowing the driver to lower the car window, gaze calmly looking at Sophie,
"Sophie, fate is never determined by vague dreams, it always lies in your hands; it’s you who chose the wrong path."
With that, she withdrew her gaze, Carlos told the driver, "Drive."
The car slowly moved away, eventually stopping outside the church.
Carlos opened the car door, carefully carried Emily out of the car.
Ahead, surrounded by flowers, the Governor, Evelyn, and Aaron alongside Maria were all smiling and waving towards her.
Amidst the scene, Emily seed to also see her mother Grace Parker standing among the crowd, smiling at her.
Emily and Carlos exchanged a look, in each other’s eyes, saw only the reflection of one another.
The afternoon sun fell on them warmly and brightly, all the storms had passed, and everything was at its most beautiful.
