"Rosalia, let me tell you. Don't be afraid! Matthew now loves you with all his heart. Emery is a thing of the past. No matter how much she makes a scene, it's useless."
It was my best friend, Lily, who defended me against the injustice. She was furious upon learning what Emery had done.
"I know. I don't care," I said with a faint smile.
"That's good." Lily looked at my face and breathed a sigh of relief. "Which wedding dress do you like?"
"Let's wait and see."
"Okay, but why doesn't Matthew come to accompany you to try the wedding dress?"
"He has a last-minute meeting and will be here later."
"That's more like it."
As soon as the shop assistant brought me the wedding dress, a figure rushed straight in and knelt in front of me. I was shocked.
"Miss Hawk, I beg you. You're so excellent that you can get any man you want. Please give Matthew back to me. I can't live without him."
Emery was wearing a white dress and had a gentle temperament. She cried delicately and elegantly, rendering her lovable, but I was disgusted. "Why is she so persistent!"
I looked at Emery with disgust, saying, "Emery, what does Matthew mean to you? Is he someone you can kick away when you don't want him, and take back when you want? He's a living person! He's not someone you can order around!“
"No, I didn't abandon him. I had no choice..." Emery kept shaking her head and speaking incoherently.
Lily couldn't stand it anymore, saying, "Don't you dare to admit what you've done? You are so disgusting!"
"Three years ago, Matthew's company went bankrupt, and his father committed suicide by bearing debts. When his mother was seriously ill, weren't you the one who abandoned him and went abroad? Weren't you the one that didn't contact him for three years? Why are you pretending to be miserable now?"
Lily's words made Emery tremble even more. Her face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground.
The shop assistant was stunned by what she had heard.
"What are you doing here?" Matthew's voice rang out. It was unknown whether he was happy or angry.
Emery got up from the ground and pounced on Matthew. Matthew dodged. She missed and almost fell to the ground.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Matthew subconsciously reached out his hand and stopped, pursing his lips. I saw it all.
"Matthew." Emery's voice was sad and full of affection.
