She was directly exposed by her younger brother Eric , who couldnt take it any longer and said , Sis , dont lie to us . Rose just stopped by . She told us everything between you and David , Roses physical appearance surprised Ember . She quickly lost color in her face . Because Rose , the person who was a pot stirrer , was likely to have said a lot of harmful and worthless things in front of her parents for her mother to become so upset . She said , My daughter , we have been a burden to you . We are so sorry , as her mother , Mrs. William , sat up on the bed and wore a dejected expression . Ember held her sadness and moved closer to help her mum . What are you talking about , Mom ? How could David not want you ? This can only be because our family is poor , Her mum said . Ember pressed her cheek into her mothers to soothe her , saying , Mom , love is something that cannot be explained clearly . Even if our family has money , if he doesnt want me , he still wont . Mom , take a look of your daughter . Isnt she gorgeous , you see , you see?, She purposefully waved her face in Mrs. Williams direction . However , Mrs. William held her face while displaying her anguish and said , Youve lost weight . Ember has just lost a lot of weight as a result of David . She held her mothers hand and smiled at Mrs. William on the bed , saying , Mom , you dont have to worry about your daughter . Your daughter doesnt rely on anything else but her talent and this beautiful face , and I promise to find you a better son in law than David . She said , Losing weight is good . I want to lose weight every day , but I couldnt , Ember was unable to stop thinking about Alexander . He ought to be superior than David . William was aware that her daughter was making a forced grin in an effort to calm her anxiety . 12:12 Chapter Is The more you do this , the more I feel sorry for you , Mom , You have to trust that I will undoubtedly meet a man who is 100 times better than him . Im poor , so i want a man who wont depend on me . Fortunately , I didnt marry him , because otherwise he would forsake me in the future , Ember said sadly .

She started to nod off when an unexpectedly urgent phone call woke her awake . When she turned over and picked up the phone from the nightstand , she recognized David as the caller . So late already . She set the phone aside while pretending not to see it . However , the phone appeared to ring incessantly . Reluctantly , she picked up the call . The other person appeared stunned for a long time before speaking when he suddenly heard her voice . Ember , where are you ? I want to see you . I miss you . His voice was so familiar . Everything they went through seemed to happened yesterday . Scenes kept flashing in her mind . Ember gripped the phone firmly in both hands while remaining silent . Two tears rolled down her cheeks .

Im sorry . 12:12 C Chapter 18 Davids sobbing voice broke through the phone after a brief pause . When Ember overheard his jumbled sobbing , she briefly became panic .
