Hearing her question Emily body froze. She can feel that her body is trembling.
Seeing her mother grinning before and now afraid like a insecure child like that Emily can understand her feeling somewhat. But what can she do it's also not her fault she know her indifferent attitude toward Cherry give her mother a kind of insecurity that's why she never comes to her home and prefer to stay Australia and even if she comes her home she always stay in imperial hotel instead of SI mansion because she don't wants to hurt her feeling more by facing her every day. She also don't wants see her hopeless. No she really doesn't want that.
She also know about the conflict her mother and grandmother having because of her but she just can't tell about her secret until she found them.
She has created some walls around her to stop people to coming near her but when she saw Cherry longing filled eye for her daughter her walls shattered in tiny pieces.
like that at first time in front of her Emily felt an indescribable feeling in her heart because before that she has only seen longing in her mother eyes but today she also fees insecurity in her mother eyes .
**************
She still remembers when she return her home that day with Liam after nearly 3 years. after being kidnapped for almost 3 year she becomes inhuman to any emotion in her heart. that 3 year when those people have tortured her cruely like their is no tomarrow for them.
in those 3 years Emily always dreamed that her father will come to save her will hug her and take away from this cruel place but with time her every expectation toward her parents fade away.
No one come to save her no one come to hug her like that she slowly slowly she forget all of her memory before 9 years. the only thing she remember was now only revenge and that cruel period of time.
Her mother hugged her tightly and beg for forgive her with her teary eyes. But at that time Emily was too traumatized from that accident that when anyone and her own mother ever try to come near her she treated them like a plague.
Seeing Emily is not answering her question Cherry closed her eyes in despair and did not say anything about it just as she was about to herself pull away from Emily. A word finally escaped from Emily mouth "En".
Not understanding what she meant cherry look upward with a questioning look.
Emily sighs and finally said the word that she wants to hear "This time I wouldn't leave" hearing her word Cherry chuckled and grinned immediately. And remember why they are here and then said to Emily.
Seeing her smile Emily then said to her again "Let's go we need to go now or we will be late"
"But u didn't tell me why are we going there" asked Cherry hurriedly when she saw Emily start walking toward a certain direction.
U will know soon said Emily while dragging her mother.
When they reached their destination an attendant who was responsible to escort their guest come and escort them to their table.
When they arrived the escort passed them their masks according to the gala theme.
"Emily why did u bring me here" It's been years since I have to this kind of dinner.
"Just sit here is a gift that I want to give u"
