Chapter 20
Kate, who was waiting outside, felt a sense of unease when she saw Rodney go in.
So when Emma and Rodney were about to leave, Kate didn’t even think twice before stopping them in their tracks.
“Emma, are you leaving already? Is this person your friend?”
For Kate, Emma had a little more patience than Marcus, but only when compared to Marcus.
Since that night at the Donovan family’s old mansion when Emma heard those words, she could no longer treat Kate with kindness.
Faced with Kate’s not–so–friendly inquiry, Emma just gave a matter–of–fact
response.
“There is nothing more to say about Marcus and me, and this is my boyfriend Rodney.”
Rodney greeted Kate politely, but Kate was not in the mood to respond. Instead, she felt a hint of resentment towards Emma, and her tone also carried a hint of displeasure.
“Emma, you and Marcus broke up less than two months ago, how could you…”
“Can’t you see that he has suffered a lot for you during this time? Since you promised to come back and see him, why can’t you give him a chance?”
Kate’s gaze, which she cast on Emma and Rodney, made Emma frown

deeply and her face instantly turned cold.
“Madam Donovan, no matter how much Marcus suffered or what happened, he has no relationship with me in terms of money. Everything is his own fault.”
)
“I was willing to agree to meet with him because of your past kindness to me. Is it only acceptable for Marcus to cheat before the wedding, and I have to seek your opinion again after breaking up with him and starting a new relationship? What qualifications does Marcus have to make me do this for him?”
”
“Madam Donovan, you knew about Marcus cheating before I did, but you chose to keep it from me. I won’t judge whether what you did was right or wrong, but you have no right to ask for my forgiveness for your actions.”
Kate’s face turned red and then pale as she was scolded by Emma. Seeing Marcus weakly leaning against the wall and coming out, she didn’t even bother to argue with Emma, and hurriedly ran towards Marcus.
Emma glanced back and then placed her hand in Rodney’s, leaving together with him.
From then on, she had no further relationship with Marcus.
This was Rodney’s first time in Chicago. Emma took him around the city and they met up with Estrella Bennett. They made plans for Estrella to visit Paris in the future before leaving Chicago and returning to Paris.
The plane landed in Paris again, and Emma felt a long–lost sense of relaxation rising in her heart.
Emma met Rodney when she first came to Paris.
At that time, Emma, who was looking for a house with the agent, was almost cheated, but Rodney appeared and stopped it all, and then

After that, the two of them became friends, occasionally meeting for occasionally meeting for meals and gatherings, and they became more and more familiar with each
other.
Later, Rodney confessed his feelings, and Emma almost naturally agreed.
Some people might think that Emma was being cold–hearted by starting a new relationship just two months after breaking up with Marcus.
But all of these had no effect on Emma.
As Rodney said, avoiding will only cause more trouble for oneself, facing fear is the best way to overcome it.
Emma never doubted sincerity, but she couldn’t deny that sincerity changes in the blink of an eye.
Emma would not deny Marcus’s sincerity back then, nor would she deny Rodney’s sincerity now.
She had the courage to leave decisively after knowing Marcus had changed his mind, so she had the courage to accept another person’s sincere love again.
