Bab 347: Sexless

Selma Payne's POV:

Emma's business-like attitude made Rhode a little depressed even though he didn't express it.

Since my last conversation with Emma, I hadn't interfered in their affairs. Feelings were very private. But this time, I asked them about their progress in an obscure manner in case another disgusting accident happened.

Rhode said that the misunderstanding between him and Emma had been resolved. He knew that Emma's avoidance was due to her family's interference. He understood this very well and was willing to do anything in exchange for her peace of mind and her family's support.

The former was easy to deal with, but the latter was more complex. Emma wasn't sure what she could get back from her family, who had been controlling her life. She didn't want to waste Rhode's feelings, so she agreed to break up with him temporarily.
