Speaker A
embarrassment, John could only pretend not to understand. It is not until John's phone rings that Emma realizes this man [music] is Korean. John knows his cover is blown and can only turn his face away to avoid Emma's gaze. He can
00:52
Speaker A
only say he did not mean to deceive [music] her. Emma simply misread the situation. Just as the two of them are in the middle of their argument, a sudden cry [music] of panic erupts from the table next to them. A child visiting

offers to stay behind and watch their luggage. On the other side, [music] after John gets the child into the ambulance, he leaves his phone number with the child's mother, telling [music] her that if she needs a translator at

bring himself to be so heartless. He agrees to help Emma with the translation. When the two of them [music] walk back into that after asking the staff they discover that her boyfriend's new love interest is someone else entirely. Emma had

prepared a whole speech full of harsh [music] words, but when Emma notices the slight bump on the woman's belly, the anger in her heart suddenly turns to sadness. She learns the woman is already 7 months pregnant, [music] yet she and

ex-husband. The [music] woman also says that if Emma still wants to win her boyfriend back, she will not stand in the way. Emma is completely puzzled after hearing this. When [music] they return to the restaurant, Emma admits that during her relationship with her
