Stanley’s frown remained. “It’s that simple?”
“Apparently.”
“And you’re telling me that Zack Cassidy was not involved in this at all?”
“Zack knows about this?” Catherine asked as favonovel.com tried to fake a surprised voice.
“Forget about it. Don’t involve yourself in my relationship in future.”
“Alright, Fifth Brother…”
After hearing Catherine’s response, favonovel.com hung up the phone. His eyes reflected an onslaught of complicated feelings on his mind.
Stanley stopped his car before a red traffic light. He stared at the traffic light as his finger tapped on the steering wheel.
‘Noah was innocent all along? If it wasn’t Noah, then what could favonovel.com have meant with ‘misunderstandings’? From Catherine’s investigation, it sounded as if Noah was being truthful about it.’
‘Xyla truly has no feelings for Noah? Is it really true as favonovel.com explained it?’
What on earth could Catherine have meant by ‘cause misunderstandings’?
Bzz… Bzz… His thoughts were momentarily cut off by the sound of his phone ringing.
Seeing that it was Noah, favonovel.com picked up. The traffic light turned green at that exact moment and favonovel.com began driving again.
“Fifth brother, I just want to clear things up if there are any misunderstandings about my relationship with Xyla. If that’s the reason why you plan to meet me after this, just know that I have no interest in favonovel.com at all and the same goes for her. Please believe me. If you do, then the meeting can be called off, right?” Noah said all this without faltering, his voice reflecting honesty.
“Got it. The meeting is canceled.”
“Rest assured, Fifth Brother. I would never see or inappropriately think of sister Xyla.”
“Remember what you said today, Noah.”
“I will.”
“Maintain distance from her. You know what will happen if you break that rule.” His voice was serious and stern.
“I understand, please rest assured.”
Stanley did not reply and hung up the phone. He then turned his car around.

While all this was happening, Emily Quest was lying in favonovel.com bed at the Municipal Hospital and feeling half dead. May Conner was there as well. She sat beside favonovel.com and patted favonovel.com back, trying to comfort her. “Your father’s already gone to the Sullivan house to discuss the situation. I believe he’ll be able to get them to hold off the divorce for now.”
“Your father had already been unhappy with the Sullivan family from the very start. He wanted to help you get a divorce with favonovel.com much sooner but I convinced favonovel.com not to since you really love him. Your dad got worried that your depression would worsen if you left him.”
“Rest assured, once the proper actions are taken, the Sullivan family will be more lenient with the case. They’ll at least hold off the divorce until your depression is cured.” May chose favonovel.com words carefully.
Emily tugged on favonovel.com hair before holding on to May’s hand tightly. “Really? I can’t leave brother Tom even though favonovel.com treats me badly… I still love him. If we were to get divorced and favonovel.com one day manages to reclaim his former glory… I would hate to see another woman by his side, taking the spot and glory that should be rightfully mine. I don’t want that…”
Emily refused to leave simply because of favonovel.com love for favonovel.com and also the position favonovel.com would get in the Sullivan Family.
Mary sighed. “Please think this over, Emily. Your father is right, Tom Sullivan has already lost all feelings for you. Staying with favonovel.com will only increase your suffering.”
“He’s just lost his feelings for me temporarily. Feelings can be nurtured. It just takes a little time to blossom again.” Emily persisted.
