David said seriously, “On the contrary, I think Emma is insecure in front of you. That’s why she’s afraid of you having something she doesn’t. That’s why she wants to steal from you. It’s very childish, like a kid stealing toys.”
Tears suddenly streamed down my face. I laughed self–mockingly,
“Even constantly stealing other people’s boyfriends is just considered childish, just kids playing around.”
David realized he had said something wrong and remained silent for a long time.

I used all my strength to stomp on his foot, “I hate you people so much!”
Looking at his stunned face, I continued,
“Why can people who are good–looking and from good families do whatever they want?”
“Why can some people play with others‘ feelings as they please?”
He forced a smile, “Actually, even with money, there are many things you can’t do, and many people you can’t love. You just don’t understand that yet.”
After a while, he said, “I’m sorry. Let me apologize on Emma’s behalf. What do you want? Let me buy you something?”
Seeing that I didn’t speak, he tentatively said, “How about a bag? Every time Emma gets angry, I buy her a bag and she’s fine.”
“I don’t want a bag. Emma did this, only she should be punished. Stop her allowance for another month. And don’t tell her when you’ll resume it. Let her worry for a while.”
Just give me one more month, and I’ll definitely force Emma into a corner with nowhere to go.
David laughed and said, “Do you think I’m that stupid? I wouldn’t have paid even if you didn’t say anything. Using my money to play with men is one thing, I haven’t been idle either, but trying to transfer my assets to run off with another man is really going too far.”
“This doesn’t count. You can still make one more request.”
After chatting with David that day, he sent me a photo. It was a picture of Emma and Jack kissing that day and their subsequent tryst at the
hotel.
