However , after hearing no movement outside , she lay back on the bed again . She knew she had to talk to Carter again , but obviously not now . And Carter probably had never been hit before , maybe he wouldn't come looking for her again in the future . Without much hesitation , Emma went to rest . Carter's influence on her was gradually diminishing . However , after that night , Carter did not appear by Emma's side for quite a long time . It wasn't that Carter had given up , but rather that the domestic company had some strategic deployments that required Carter's involvement .

Carter hesitated for a moment but decided to go back to his country first , also allowing Emma to calm down . Today Emma threw a tantrum as well . Carter didn't mind her hitting him , 11353 Chapter 20 it was better than completely ignoring him . Emma was the one he had raised since childhood . Over the years , he couldn't believe Emma would be so resolute . 1288 Vouchers His attitude also made it clear that he would give Emma some time to figure things out , and it would be better to take her back when they meet again .

A voice inside spoke out , only to be forcefully suppressed by him . " Emma had never been angry for so many years , but this time she was just frustrated . That being said , she still didn't feel quite right in her heart . Carter walked out of the room feeling a bit annoyed and couldn't resist drinking some more alcohol . The next day at noon , Kelly's phone rang . " Carter , you really didn't get involved at all in the wedding planning . " " You ran abroad at the drop of a hat , now everyone is laughing at me . " " I am also very busy at the company now . This matter was started by you , it doesn't make sense to put all the pressure on me . " Carter pressed his throbbing temple and moved the phone away slightly . He waited until Kelly had vented her emotions before putting the phone back to his ear .

" 17.399 Vouchons " As mentioned before , please continue to shift all the blame onto me . I appreciate your help during this time . " Kelly's voice suddenly stopped . " Have you made up your mind ? " " How was she ? " Carter remained silent and did not speak . Kelly hesitated for a moment before saying , " I have never really supported your approach . " " I don't know what Emma was thinking , but I do know that if this kind of thing happened to me , I would be extremely disappointed . " I knew your intention was good for her , wanting her to give up and fearing she would be criticized by others . " " But I feel that , starting from scratch , your actions were more about breaking your own heart than breaking hers . " " Carter , I have said all I have to say . Just like I mentioned when we first started working together , I hope you won't regret it . " Kelly didn't speak again after she finished saying this sentence .
