As the old saying went, aged ginger was more pungent. When Hunk used his smooth tactics, the young ones didn't stand a chance.
Standing by the door of the room, Louis wanted to say something, but decided against it. He and Emily were still talking to each other when they noticed their father slowly going downstairs.
"Do you want me to cover for you again?" Emily asked out of kindness. She had no idea if she would be scolded by the old man if she were to interfere.
With a sigh, Louis shook his head. Even though it was just a verbal argument, he still felt drained from that interaction. He didn't even know if it was because of his defeat from his father's insistence or because of his strong desire to protect the woman he loved.
"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Just from observation, Emily could feel how much her brother loved that woman. Even though she really wanted to help, there wasn't much she could do. Taylor was the type of woman who could easily touch others and gain their trust from just a few words. Despite that, it seemed that she was a difficult woman to love.
"Yeah. Thanks, though."
It was the only reply that Louis could give to his sister at that moment. He turned around and went back to his room. When he closed the door again, he found himself thinking of Taylor again. He knew he had to let go of the past, but it was easier said than done. He just felt lost. He still loved Taylor as much as before.
He had turned into a man who had lost his soul. Even his greetings had no life in them. It was as if he had turned into a zombie that mindlessly walked around the earth.
Whenever Louis saw his reflection in Emily's eyes, he could tell that he was no more than just an empty shell. He had no life left in him.
"You should at least buy a gift for Janet. I know you haven't seen each other for quite a long time, but I reckon she will be happy if you bring her a bunch of roses,"
Emily reminded Louis before he left home. Instead of answering, he just dismissively waved his hand and drove away.
Without really giving it any thought, Louis headed towards LX Club.
He could already predict what was going to happen as soon as he arrived at the club. He was sure that his father was going to call him upon his arrival and inform him that he and Janet's father were going to play some golf. Then, they would both leave to go to the golf course together.
It was a predictable plan, but it would mean that Louis and Janet would be forced to eat lunch together. It didn't matter whether they loved each other or not. His father was determined to unite the two families through their marriage.
Fortunat
lous. It's like she's asking herself, 'Why can't you choose me instead of her?' Are you sure she is not your girlfriend?"
A shudder went through Louis's spine as she said those words. It was as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water on him and he suddenly came to his senses. He quickly turned around to look at who Janet was talking about. His eyes immediately caught sight of Taylor, but she was already on her way out of the club.
Taylor tried to avoid eye contact with Louis. She couldn't let him see the disdain in her eyes. She was making every effort to not meet his gaze and wanted to leave here as soon as she could. But all that she was doing just proved how jealous she was and how much she cared about the man.
Louis stood up from his seat right away and ran after Taylor. He didn't even bother to apologize or excuse himself. All that mattered was Taylor. He easily caught up with her and grabbed her hand. Then, he started blurting out a string of apologies.
"Why are you apologizing to me? You're confusing." Taylor tried to shake off his grip on her.
"Don't get it wrong. It's really not what you think. I've never been with that woman, you know," Louis stammered in a panicked voice.
However, Taylor just shook her hand again in an attempt to make him let her go. "You don't really have to explain anything to me. Haven't I made myself clear, Louis? Nothing is going to happen between us. It's simple. So, you shouldn't feel the need to explain anything to me, because what you do is none of my business."
With one final pull, Taylor finally broke free from Louis's grip. Then, she noticed that their conversation had caught the attention of a few people inside the club. Therefore, she hurriedly turned around and attempted to leave.
