Eli left, and Harper breathed a sigh of relief. "William, thank you!" Harper said softly. "You're welcome, just because you call me brother-in-law and pick up Emily for me. I'll help you make things right no matter what." William waved his hand with a smile. 3,000 dollars was thrown away, but William didn't feel regret. He cherished Harper very much and treated her as a family member sincerely. The difference in life between these two sisters was really huge. Harper laughed and then cried. William scratched his head. He understood how Harper was feeling. Because in a certain sense, he and Harper were in the same boat. One was that her husband cheated on her and the child was gone. One was that his wife cheated on her, and she teamed up with her lover to set him up. How much sacrifice did Harper make for Eli? He also gave everything he had for Emma. But why? Were kind people like them always the ones who get hurt? Was there fairness in this world? Emily looked at her father, then at her aunt with tears streaming down her face. She gently grabbed Harper's arm and said in a sweet voice, "Auntie, stop crying. Emily is very obedient!" Harper glanced at her niece with tears in her eyes and carefully held her tightly in her arms. The tears were pouring down even more. What an obedient child. Why should she bear the mistakes of the previous generation? "Harper, in my opinion, divorce is not a bad thing!" After thinking for a while, William decided to persuade her. Harper was engaged in art and was emotionally sensitive. Such people were easy to get into trouble. William knew very well what it felt like to be betrayed by a partner, and he didn't want the innocent and kind-hearted Harper to think wildly. "You and Eli don't have children. This is, first of all, a relief. Otherwise, divorce will be more difficult." "It took a few years to see his true face clearly, and you have made a profit no matter what. Otherwise, if it takes ten or eight years to see him clearly, your chances of starting a new life will be much smaller." "So, don't be discouraged. The most important thing you should do now is to cheer up, live a good life, and let Eli, that piece of trash, take a good look at you." As he said this, William felt bitter in his heart. He even persuaded Harper. What about him? Wasn't he worse than Harper? The only issue between Harper and Eli was cheating. And he and Emma were almost enemies. Thinking of Harper's conversation with Jayden on the bed in the bedroom, William felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. Emma, that was the person he loved deeply. How could she be so cruel? Join forces with her lover and hope to put him in jail again? "If you don't want to live with me, you can tell me clearly. Why are you so cruel? This is a knife in my heart!" William thought. "William!" Emma wiped her eyes, "Emma is so lucky to have you!" "Really? Haha." William smiled bitterly. "Yes, she must be lucky, but it's none of my business. She has another man. I still have to pretend not to know." William thought. "William, everything I said is true!" Emma's eyes were red and swollen, but her expression was serious. "Emma has been better than me in everything since she was a child, and the boys around her are also better than the boys around me." Harper's thoughts seemed to fly to her girlhood. "Actually, some of the boys surrounding me want to get to know Emma through my connections!" "After graduating from college, you have been pursuing my sister. I saw you working so hard and still trying to be nice to her." Harper suddenly took a deep breath and paused, "To be honest, I am very envious." "Really?" William looked straight at the ground and could only say this sentence. His heart felt uncomfortably clogged. He might never be able to love anyone else the way he loves Emma. He devoted almost all his passion and heart to Emma. But got heartbreaking results. If time could come back, he vowed that he would never waste even a second on Emma. Emma was not worthy of his deep affection and dedication! Harper took out the tablet computer to Emily and asked her to take it to the house to play. William said nothing. When Emily liked to learn to speak, it was better not to let her hear the adults chatting. After coaxing Emily away, Harper obviously relaxed. "At that time, Emma often chatted with me at night, telling me how you pursued her and how you treated her. I kept listening to what she said." Harper's face gradually softened. Women were all emotional. Even if the story had nothing to do with her, she would feel like involved. "At that time, I thought, if someone treats me like you did to Emma, I would marry him even if I pay him back." Harper's voice was soft but clear. William's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. They were all adults. Some things couldn't be said casually. It could be emotional. It could also be a hint. William subconsciously looked up at Harper. This beautiful sister-in-law, who looked very similar to Emma, had disheveled hair, no makeup, and a bare face. But her face was strangely red. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen from crying just now, but they had a different kind of charm. Stop it! William forced his thoughts back. "She is Harper, Emma's sister. What are you thinking about!" William thought. "Harper, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. You really don't need to envy us. Even if you and Eli have reached this point, you don't need to envy us!" William said seriously, "Everyone has his own happiness." A cheating woman and a miserably cheated man. Was there anything enviable about this combination? The more Harper said this, the more William's heart ached. How much he wanted to tell her directly, your sister cheated on me, and our love has been shattered. But he couldn't. First of all, the child was still in the house Children's words were unbridled and must not be heard by her. Secondly, no matter how good Harper's opinion of him was, as long as he told her about Emma cheating, she would definitely ask Emma to find out. But now, what William needed most was to hide his knowledge. Used only to be vague in language. "William, I know everything!" Harper smiled slightly, "When my sister found you, I thought I could also find my good home. When Eli pursued me, he did as well as you did. I thought I found my Mr. Right, but I was wrong.” "You still have a long life, don't be discouraged. If you need my help, just say it, we are a family!" William said seriously. He really treated Harper as one of his own family members. "William." Harper's eyes welled up with tears again, "Why, it was Emma you met first? Why not me?" These words hit William's heart like a heavy hammer. An irrepressible sourness surged into his heart. Between the two of them, separated by a coffee table, time seemed to freeze suddenly. William opened his mouth with a look of astonishment on his face. Harper looked at him boldly and calmly, with tears in her eyes. Neither of them moved. William's heart was filled with emotions. What she said just now was simply a confession. Could it be that Harper always liked him? William's heart softened at this moment. It turned out that he did not fail. It turned out that someone was still paying attention to him quietly. The heart that was almost broken by Emma's derailment healed slightly. However, there was no possibility for him and Harper. Was Harper beautiful? Certainly! Even if she was not as good as Emma, she was not far behind. Did Harper have a good personality? Certainly! In front of her, Emma was not worthy of being a human being at all. But why did God want to tease him like this? Why was Harper Emma's sister? Tell her that Emma was cheating? No! He couldn't take any chances! The revenge plan had just begun, and absolutely no surprises could be tolerated. Even after the matter with Emma was resolved, William might not be able to take even one step with Harper. Because, Emily. The matter between him and Emma would definitely come to light one day. Emily was innocent. One day, what would she think if she found out about her mother's cheating and saw her aunt become her new mother? Too messy! William held his head. Just now, the joy of knowing that someone secretly liked him was gone. "William, don't be burdened. I just spoke my mind and had no other meaning. I wish you and Emma grow old together!" Harper wiped away her tears and forced a smile. Grow old together? Hehe! I wish she could die! William was silent for a long time, then he collected himself and said, "What are your plans?" Harper said, "After the divorce, I want to change my life in a city!" "Ah?" William was very surprised. "There is someone here that I want to see but can't be with. I can't stay any longer!" Harper hugged her shoulders, as weak as a fallen leaf in the wind. At this moment, William almost blurted out, "I'll take you away!" What revenge? Fuck it! This woman secretly liked him. However, William's anger rose again when he suddenly thought of Jayden and Emma's plot against him. If he couldn't defeat this pair of bitches with his own hands, was he still a man? "Okay then!" Countless complicated thoughts turned into a nutritious sentence. William's heart slowly sank. A sudden love, gained and lost in just a few minutes. The gentle woman who secretly liked him was about to leave. This late confession gave William a little warmth in his cold heart. Made him feel that he was not such a failure. There was still hope for the future. However, in a blink of an eye, the two of them were about to say goodbye. No wonder Harper broke the taboo and told him what was in her heart. If she didn't say it, there would be no chance. They would be separated forever and have no contact for the rest of their lives.
