Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 52

After leaving the club, Emma noticed a sleek black Ferrari parked right at the entrance. Oddly enough, a luxurious Maybach was parked next to it, each car worth around 2 million dollars.

Such extravagant vehicles at the entrance of a modest club certainly turned heads. The Ferrari was unmistakably Sean’s, while the Maybach belonged to Liam.

Sean was leaning casually against his Ferrari, sunglasses on and legs crossed, enhancing the scene with his presence.

As Emma approached, he quickly showed concern. “Emma, I heard the Gomez family summoned you urgently. Are you alright? Any injuries?”

“I’m fine, Uncle Sean. But- Emma started.

“What’s up?” Sean asked, noticing her hesitation.

Emma nodded toward the Ferrari. “Uncle Sean, don’t you think driving such a noticeable car might attract paparazzi?”

Sean, always fond of his luxury cars and accustomed to public attention, dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand. “Let’s not worry about that now, Emma. Come. I’ll take you for some cake,” he said, choosing to overlook the potential for unwanted attention.

Nearby, Emma noticed Liam’s quiet presence by the Maybach. She let go of Sean’s hand and approached Liam. “Mr. Hall, would you care to join us for some cake?”

Both Sean and Levi were taken aback by her gesture.

Sean, feeling a bit sidelined but determined, removed his sunglasses and fixed his gaze on Emma. “Emma, when I invite you for cake, there’s no need to ask anyone else,” he said, giving Liam a pointed look.

Liam, unfazed by Sean’s remark, took Emma’s hand firmly in his as if to make a statement. “Feeling tired?”

“Not really, just took a few hits and lost my knives,” Emma responded casually.

Levi felt a mix of admiration. ‘What exactly does she do? Always in the thick of action, from fights to defusing bombs. And she talks about it so nonchalantly! No wonder Mr. Hall was so taken with her.”

Liam reassured her, “It’s good that you’re not hurt. Let’s go home so you can rest. We have a well–trained pastry chef at home; you can have any dessert you fancy.”

Feeling targeted, Sean couldn’t hide his dismay. “Emma, are you really going to ditch me for a man?” It was a new and unpleasant feeling for him, and he exaggerated his sadness for effect. “My heart is breaking here. I just found you, and now you’re leaving me….
