While he was still in shock, Emma Smith had already taken advantage of the opportunity to escape his grasp, running out of the door. Robert Thomson watched her leave, not at all surprised.
After all, he had already informed Ethan Martin about his intention to get engaged to Emma Smith. The day before yesterday, he had taken her out and met Ella Martin and Olivia Ewards.
So he had been mentally prepared and was not too excited. He simply said, "I know."
But then he immediately added, "I don't think I need to go there."
On the other end, David Thomson was momentarily taken aback. Robert Thomson's personality was not as domineering and unrestrained as his own, but he had a hidden sharpness to him. If he wanted to achieve something, he would do everything possible to accomplish it, even if his methods were not so aggressive, but he was persistent enough.
He was not like David, who faced strong opposition from his father when he was with Charlotte Rodriguez.
