A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1451 Heartbroken

Louis stared ahead, feeling like the person in front of him was a stranger. It was as if he didn't know Taylor at all. It was the first time that she had been so open about her thoughts and feelings.

"If you had ever thought about my feelings regarding the matter, then we wouldn't have to have this conversation. We can't even be friends now. Do you understand me?" Taylor choked out, her eyes almost in tears.

"I don't care! How many times must I tell you that before you finally believe me?" Louis shouted at Taylor, agitated. He could feel himself losing control.

"And how many times must I tell you that I care? I care about it! What's so hard to understand?" Taylor didn't want to argue with Louis anymore. She felt that it was meaningless because he was so hard- headed.

With a scoff, she turned around and walked towards the children's park. She called Amy and left the place with her daughter in her arms.

There was no way that she would let herself cry in front of him. It would just double her feelings of humiliation. She had had enough of that for one day.

As he watched Taylor walking away, Louis regretted not saying something or chasing after her. He didn't know what else to do. How could he make her understand his good intentions?

He pulled off his tie harshly. He needed to calm down or he might do something else that he would regret.

It was just that he was so desperate.

The look of determination on Taylor's face kept flashing on his mind as Louis drove away. It felt as if all the paths that would have led him to her had been blocked. He was lost, unsure of which road to take.

It took him a long time to get back to a familiar place and environment. He realized that a man should lick his wounds in a safe place, so he forced himself to go back to MK Manor.

As he walked inside, Louis didn't even notice his father. It was as if everyone else was invisible and all he could see was a void. He walked straight to the liquor cabinet, passing Hunk.

"Wine! I need some wine! I need the best wine that can make me forget everything!" he announced.

He took out the most expensive bottle they had. Then, with the bottle in hand, he sluggishly walked up to the second floor.

A few hours later, Hunk called Emily on the phone. "Emily, come and check on your brother. When he came back today, he took a bottle of wine to his room, and he hasn't come out since. I'm worried about him." Hunk had tried to call Louis several times but had been met with silence. So, he asked Emily for help.

Without saying another word, Emily drove to MK Manor and got there within two hours.

When she arrived, Hunk walked up to her. "It's like he lost his soul! He just took the bottle and went to his room. Go and have a look. You're better fitted to talk to him than me," he told her, his face red with anger. He had been controlling himself from just barging into Louis's room and taking the bottle of alcohol from his hands.

"Don't worry about it, Dad. I'm going up to talk to him now!" It took some convincing but Emily finally got her father to calm down. She made him sit down on the sofa to wait while she went upstairs.

"Brother, are you okay? I'm coming in!"

Emily couldn't hide her shock when she opened the door to his room. It was a mess. Bottles of alcohol were scattered all over the ground. She could have sworn that her brother was fine earlier, but now, it

looked like his life had been sucked out of him. All it took was a small sip of alcohol for him to get lost in the void. He looked devastated.

"What on earth happened to you? Come on, it's just a break-up. Maybe you should let Dr. Tang check you for heart disease or something," Emily muttered.

Then, she carefully stepped forward and gently kicked the huge bottle of alcohol to the corner. Then, she took another step to get closer to him. "Okay, why don't you let me join you for a drink? You can tell me what happened."

As soon as she finished talking, Emily quickly regretted mentioning the word "drink." Louis immediately turned his head to look for the bottle when he heard her words.

"Wait, it's unsanitary to drink from the bottle. I'll get us a glass so we can drink together!"

Emily told him. She had planned to switch the bottle to something less alcoholic as soon as Louis wasn't looking. However, he seemed to have caught on and didn't give her a chance to do so. He quickly grabbed the bottle and poured the liquid into his mouth without taking a pause.

"Brother, can you please drink less? If something is bothering you, tell me. Maybe I can help you. Women think differently, so sometimes it's difficult for men to understand them. So come on, spill the beans. Maybe I can help you work on something to win her heart."

Emily's words caught Louis' interest but he only slightly turned his gaze away from the bottle and looked at his sister. With a contemptuous smile, he then looked away from her again and took another chug of the alcohol.

"Hey! Do you think that I can't do it? You shouldn't underestimate me, you know. I'm quite smart and I'm your sister. Even if Taylor is my psychologist and I don't have enough knowledge about her yet, I will definitely stand by your side and help you with anything," Emily said with a promising tone.

"Thank you, sister! But you can't help me! Nobody can!" Louis' heart ached so much. His face no longer had life. He started to push Emily away. However, when she started to resist, he simply stood up and pushed even harder until she was outside. Then, he slammed the door on her.

"Hey! "Why did you do that? I'm your sister!" Still in shock that he had slammed the door, Emily turned her head and saw her father. He looked both helpless and embarrassed at the same time.

"How about I ask Jacob to come over? Maybe it will be easier for Louis to open up to him," she suggested, shrugging in defeat. She really had tried her best.

"I don't think that's necessary. Just give up and let him have his drink. Maybe he just wants to forget about things instead of talking about it," her father said casually. After all, Hunk had a lot of experience when it came to dealing with them. He was willing to give his children space if they wanted it.

His insight surprised Emily. "Dad, how did you find out about Louis and Taylor?" she asked.

Her father let out a deep sigh and said, "Look, every parent cares about their children even if sometimes they don't talk about it. Your brother is attracted to her, smitten even. Unfortunately, it seems that he can't get what he wants in the end." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Emily really wanted to know how her father had come to know this.

Suddenly, the door to Louis' room opened. He greeted the two of them with a fiery glare. Then, he turned to his father with gritted teeth and asked, "Did you say something to Taylor?"

His father bellowed out a laugh. "Do you really think that I will play tricks on a fragile woman with a daughter? She helped your sister recover from her depression. I will always remember her kindness. In fact, I am grateful for it."

Tears started to form in Emily's eyes when she heard her father say those words. She knew that her biological father was a respectable man but it was the first time that she had witnessed him act like this.

"But…" Louis choked out as he tried his best to hide the pain that he had been feeling all day. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes but he remained dedicated to not letting them see him cry.

"But she rejected you several times. And today, she completely broke your heart, right?" Hunk finished for him with a calm tone. It was hurtful but it was the truth.
