The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 231 Emma's Oath

Emma was still in Sky's embrace. His back still throbbed with pain, and his face looked grim. After a long while, he gently pulled away from Emma.

"Don't say that," Sky softly said.

His previously pale and gloomy expression eased a little. "Emma, don't cry."

Emma sobbed uncontrollably. "Sky, I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave Mom and Dad either, but I don't want to make everyone unhappy. Maybe it's best if I just leave."

"No," Sky said. "I'll handle this. You grew up here. Where else would you go?"

Emma bit her lip, reaching out to hold Sky's hand. "Sky, I don't want to make things hard for you."

"It won't be hard," Sky reassured her.

He stepped forward and cleared his throat, saying, "Nat, Lincoln, Hector, Mason, we're family. Let's sit down and talk about this. I admit, I'm biased toward Emma, but that doesn't mean I'll let anyone mistreat Nat. Let's all sit down and have an open conversation."

Natalie exchanged a glance with Lincoln. He and Hector nodded in agreement.

"Fine, let's sit down and talk," Lincoln said.

Sky led Emma to the dining room. Lincoln and Hector flanked Natalie, while Mason stayed with Olivia.

They all sat at the table. After instructing the helper to prepare some tea, Lincoln waited until the helper left before saying, "Sky, there's no one else here now. If you want to say something, just speak openly."
