Love You Enough to Leave You Chapter 782

Chapter 782Chapter 781
“Noah, I miss you. Can you come over? I haven't seen you for so many days,” Emma said sweetly into
the phone.
Noah had tons of things to deal with. On top of that, Stephanie was pregnant and needed his comfort.
Hence, he did not treat Emma as warmly as before. Although he kept telling Emma how much he loved
her, he, in truth, loved himself more. He only feared treating her indifferently would only make her
cause trouble.
After all, a desperate person would harm others without thinking of the consequences. To make sure
Emma did not do that, Noah could only pretend as if nothing was wrong. Even so, he did not like her as
much as he did back then.
“Have you taken a liking to a bag? Go and get it, then. Charge it on my card.”
“Noah, am I just a gold digger to you? I'm sure you know how much of your money I've spent over the
past few years. I just miss you. I want you to come over and keep me company. Is that so hard? Do
you not love me anymore?” Emma said pitifully.
Noah pinched the space between his brows and said, “I'll head over now.”
Soon, Noah arrived at his secret hideout with Emma. He had just parked his car when Emma pounced
on him and hugged him from the back. “Noah, I've missed you so much.”
Noah glanced around the area in terror. He sighed with relief when he saw there was no onesuspicious around.
Feigning confusion, Emma asked, “What's wrong, Noah?”
Noah shook his head and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Nothing. Let's go upstairs.”
When they had gone upstairs, Stephanie, who was in the car, was already burning with rage.
Isabella smirked and commented coldly, “I never knew Noah and Emma were in this kind of
relationship. What are you going to do, Stephanie?”
Stephanie unfastened her seatbelt and huffed, “What else can I do? Of course, I have to go in there
and catch them in their act. I swear I'm going to beat that adulterous woman to death today!”
Isabella grabbed Stephanie's arm. “Calm down, Stephanie. You're still pregnant, remember? It won't do
you and the baby any good if you get too emotional. Besides, if something happens to the baby, it'll be
an advantage for Noah and Emma.”
Stephanie gave her a look and asked crossly, “Then what do you propose?”
“Let's go upstairs and have a look. Let's hear what Noah has to say. It's no wonder people always say
that only half of what a man says can be trusted, while the other half is just sweet talk. I never believed
in that until now. Here I was thinking my brother loved you deeply when he acted carefully around you,”
Isabella said, adding fuel to the fire. She was intentionally agitating Stephanie. The angrier Stephanie got, the more troubled Noah would
be. When the time was right, Isabella could instigate Stephanie to go back to her family. Then she
would get the chance to meet Oscar. All she had to do was to find the right time and drug his food at
least three to five times. Once that was done, Oscar would belong to her.
Isabella had planned out everything carefully. She did not even have an ounce of guilt for using
Stephanie to achieve her goals.
As soon as Isabella and Stephanie got out of the car, the latter supported her belly and marched to the
elevator door. “Which floor?”
“The tenth floor, I think. That's what I heard her say back then. At first, I thought she was living there
alone. Who would've known Noah was also... They've been hiding it from me for quite a long time. Who
knows how long they've been together ever since they became friends?”
As expected, those words angered Stephanie further.
Both of them entered the elevator and headed upstairs in silence. The moment they stepped out of the
elevator, Stephanie knocked on every door. However, no one opened it until she arrived at the fifth
door.
Fuming, Stephanie stared at Noah, who opened the door. He was shocked to see Stephanie before
him. When he thought about how Emma was in there, his temples throbbed.
“Steph, what are you doing here?” Noah tried his best to stop Stephanie from entering.
Alas, someone was determined to go against his wish. “Noah, why aren't you letting Stephanie in? Are you keeping a woman in there?” Isabella said
gloatingly.
Noah instantly shot her a glare. Before he could say anything, Emma's voice rang out. “Noah, who is
it?”
Stephanie glared at Noah. She looked so furious that she looked as if she was going to eat him up.
Sensing she was angry, Noah pulled her into his embrace and said calmly, “Steph, listen to me. Things
aren't what it looks like. I just bumped into Emma along the way. Coincidentally, my shirt was stained
with coffee, so she kindly invited me over to get changed. Please don't misunderstand.”
Stephanie shoved him aside, strode toward Emma, and swung her arm hard, giving the latter a tight
slap with no mercy.
Emma clutched her throbbing face and glanced at Noah pitifully. “Noah.”
Emma would have been fine if she had not said anything. But as soon as she did, Stephanie's rage
spiked. She pulled Emma's hand aside and slapped both sides of her cheeks, showing absolutely no
mercy.
Emma instinctively dodged them and pretended to look pitiful to anger Stephanie further.
“Noah, help me. Noah, please. It hurts.”
Seeing Emma's foxy act made Stephanie all the more livid. She was so angry that she started to runafter Emma, forgetting the fact that she was several months pregnant.
The entire scene gave Noah a fright. He ran after Stephanie and grabbed her hand. “Steph, calm
down. There's really nothing going on between me and Emma.”
To his dismay, Emma refuted fearlessly, “Noah, we've known each other for so many years. I even kept
you company when you were living abroad. You weren't even friends with the daughter of the Clintons
when we were together. I'm your real girlfriend. How could you deny our relationship now?”
Noah's head throbbed. “Shut up.”
Stephanie panted with rage. Suddenly, an excruciating pain spread over her belly. She clutched her
stomach and screamed, “Ouch! Noah, my stomach hurts!”
Noah panicked, and he bent over to hold her up. Isabella, too, hurried over. “Stephanie, are you okay?”
It was not Isabella's purpose to let something happen to Stephanie, for she would be in deep trouble if
the Clintons discovered she was the culprit.
Noah shot her a glare. “You're the first one I'll be looking for if something happens to Steph.”
Isabella rebuked shamelessly, “Stephanie wouldn't be in such a state if you and Emma didn't have
such a complicated relationship.”
Noah's blood boiled. However, he could not be bothered to argue with Isabella when he saw the beads
of sweat on Stephanie's forehead. Upon arriving at the hospital, Noah anxiously watched the doctor push Isabella into the operating room.
After that, he and Isabella waited outside.
After taking a few deep breaths, he grabbed Isabella by the throat and said through gritted teeth,
“Isabella Walker, what's your purpose in bringing Steph there? I'll never forgive you if something
happens to the child in her belly.”
The pressure from his grip caused blood to rush to Isabella's face. Even so, she still smiled
nonchalantly and said, “Noah, I think you should inform Aunt Olivia about this. I'm afraid you won't be
able to explain yourself if something actually happens to Stephanie.”
Noah's face was distorted with rage. “I'm going to kill you, Isabella.”
Right then, a nurse rushed over and advised, “Calm down, Sir. Release this lady, or I'm going to call the
police.”
Hearing that, Noah tossed Isabella aside.
The nurse asked in concerned, “Miss, are you all right?”
“Thank you for helping me. I'm fine. My brother's anxious because his pregnant wife is in the operating
room. That's why he's venting it on me. It's just a sibling feud. Don't worry. You should go get busy.”
The nurse left after making sure everything was fine.
Staring at the operating room, Isabella pulled out her phone to make a call, but it got snatched away. “What are you doing? Give it back to me.” Isabella frowned.
Noah merely glared at her. “Isabella, what exactly is your purpose for doing this? If Stephanie really
gets angry, the entire Clinton family will be angered. Nothing good will happen to our family if that
happens. Why are you still plotting against me despite knowing the outcome? Tell me, did someone
promise you something?”
Isabella laughed so hard even tears poured down her cheeks.
“Noah, you think too much. I'm just annoyed by you. Think about it. You married a beautiful woman and
even progressed well in your career. I, on the other hand, am not only despised by Oscar but I was also
kicked out of his company. You've taken all the good stuff, while I can only watch you enjoy the fruits of
your victory. I naturally can't accept this. That's why I wanted to cause you some trouble,” Isabella said
nonchalantly, shrugging.
Noah raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
“Just you wait, Isabella. I'm going to make you pay with your life if anything happens to Steph.”
Isabella clutched her face, disdain flashing across her eyes.
“Noah, she's just your pawn in helping you rebuild Walker Group. Why are you pretending to be a loyal
lover? Besides, if you really love her, you won't have an affair with another woman,” Isabella mocked.
Noah merely pursed his lips and kept his silence.
