Chapter 311: Explanation
There had to be a higher power out there that was seriously invested in Emily and Derek constantly meeting up in places where they were not supposed to run into one another. When Emily had quit Haven Group the first time, she had expected to never see Derek again.
But out of nowhere he had shown up at B’s diner where she had been working. That one she could overlook as just a simple coincidence. But this encounter, Emily had to admit something was up.
How on earth had he managed to be in the same small town, same motel as her, and also outside in the middle of a blackout. Some things were just too much for the mind to take. And speaking of things that were too much for the mind to take. Emily was currently staring at Derek and she was livid.
In fact she was more angry at herself than she was at him.
For as far as Emily was concerned. If there was a competition to try, and find the biggest idiot on earth. Then she would win first, second and third prize.
Had she seriously been pining over this man?
Crying over an opportunity that they would never get to have. Had she really believed that if he came to her in person and apologized, that things would be different for them? That he would be able to explain away the situation. Clearly, whatever it was that she had been smoking while thinking that, had been something top grade.
After all of the things that she had been through, all that he had to say for himself was, ’I did not cheat on you,’
Like that was not the go-to phrase of cheaters everywhere. ’I am innocent,’ and ’I didn’t do it,’ were the most overused lines ever. Did he really think that she was just going to buy into that?
