“Of course! Give me your address,” Emery agreed readily. “My life only revolves around Xavier these days. I feel I’m so detached from the world outside now. I really need to get out.”
“I’ll send you my address. You can ask the nanny to take care of Xavier, or you can just send her over to mom’s place.”
“Come to think of it, you’re the one who has the easiest life, Scarlett. Your parents take care of your kid, and your husband takes care of the company. You get to do whatever you want. How I envy you.”
“Then do you want to switch places with me?” I joked.
“Hell no. My husband is the best man on earth. I’m not trading him for anything else,” she said cheekily.
“So you know. Come on, I just sent you the address. Get over quick, we’re waiting for you.”
After I hung up, Camelia and I looked for a cafe and had a coffee while waiting for Emery.
“What’s on your mind?” I asked, seeing Camelia looking at her phone absentmindedly.
“I’m just worried about Tobias. I haven’t gotten any call since I came out last night. Marcus didn’t call either. Does he not care at all?”
“You should call the nanny and make sure if everything is okay. As for Marcus, it doesn’t matter if he cares for you or not. You’ve already wasted so many years on him. What you need to do now is to find your own life and improve yourself.”
Life was more than just pursuing love. Our lives were full of potential and possibilities. We should look for another open door instead of insisting on opening a closed door.
Camelia called the nanny and learned that everything was fine with the child at home. She wanted to call Marcus, but I stopped her.
