But Ben shouted for Emma to leave, and she rushed away. However, Callum urged Ben to speak to Emma rationally, and Ben relented, though he was reluctant.<\/p>\n<p>Emma gently explained that she understood how Ben felt, but Ben responded by telling Emma that she had broken Lola\u2019s heart.<\/p> <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He added that Lexi was wearing Lola\u2019s hoodie every night, and had accidentally called Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) \u2018Mum\u2019 and it had broken her.<\/p>\n<p>Ben insisted that he, Callum and Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) were all Lexi needed, and said that if Emma cared, she would walk away.<\/p>\n<p>But Emma told Ben she would be sticking around, and hoped to be able to come to an arrangement for Lexi\u2019s sake.
