Chapter 18
Alyssa did not expect to hear such harsh words. She withdrew from the chair and reached out to adjust
the sses on the bridge of her nose. “Oh.”
She knew Emmett disliked her.
But she didn’t feel very sad about his reaction because there were the usual words she heard all her
life.
After all, Skr was supposed to be his bride. But unfortunately he was tied with an ugly bumpkin like
her. Anyone in his ce would be angry and dislike it.
So Emmett’s reaction didn’t surprise her lot.
Even though he despised her, she didn’t feel anything butplete indifference.
“If there is nothing, I’ll go out first.”
Emmett didn’t say anything, so she didn’t have any reason to stay. She turned around and left the
study.
As the door closed, Emmett turned his chair and looking in the direction of the door.
This was the first time he had encountered just a woman. Not only did she say she didn’t care about his
appearance, but also she didn’t say a word of defense when he insulted her.
No doubt, she was ugly but there was something about her that pulled him towards her more and more.
Ah, this ugly woman was really beyond his expectations.
…
It was still early, so Alyssa didn’t n to go to her bedroom.
She sat down on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV. Leaning back on the sofa
comfortably, she raised the volume. This ce was much better than her dingy and small apartment.
Somehow, she felt a little cheerful.
Although Emmett disliked her, he still wanted to see her and didn’t embarrass her. And he also didn’t
restrict her movements so she could move freely in this house. This was actually the most freedom she
got in her whole life.
At this point, he was much better than those people of the Moore family.
Just as she was enjoying the show, there was a whistle behind her.
Just as she was enjoying the show, there was a whistle behind her.
Alyssa first didn’t pay attention to it. But the whistle kept ringing. So she had no option but turn around
to see.
She was Justin cozilying towards her. He had changed his cloths and looked much better than
before.
She widened her eyes in shock. How could he be here?
Emmett was satisfied with the shock in her eyes and he showed a frivolous expression, “Alyssa, don’t
you remember me, do you? We just haven’t seen each other for half a day.”
He then remembered something and ced his hand on his chest. “Sister-inw, I am hurt.”
She looked at ‘Justin’ warily, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m Emmett’s cousin. So I’m staying in his home for a few days. Is there a problem?” Emmett slowly
approached her as he spoke. He was in a far better moodpared tost time.
‘Justin’ lived in Emmett’s vi, of course, it was normal.
It was her, who wasn’t normal.
She couldn’t ignore his molestation and rudeness to her before. And now her husband, Emmett was
also in the vi. There was no doubt that ‘Justin’ who was very frivolous and shameless would do
something ridiculous.
And at that time, Emmett would definitely side his cousin more than her. So it was better to stay away
from all these problem.
Alyssa didn’t want to give him a chance to do something ridiculous, so she said perfunctorily, “No.”
Without another word, she got up and went upstairs with her head down. The living room was not safe
with this man around.
However, she still underestimated the man’s shamelessness.
She hadn’t even taken a few steps, ‘Justin’ grabbed her wrist, with his thumb rubbing softly on her
delicate wrist. In order to match her height, he bent down, leaned over to her ear. “I haven’t had dinner
yet. Are you just going to let me keep starving? I’m still hurt, you know.”
There were so many things that happened in the evening that Alyssa almost forgot that ‘Justin’ was
injured.
Emmett deliberately reached out to touch her head, his thin lips almost sticking to her ear, “Make
something to eat for me. I’ll me waiting for you.”
Alyssa’s body stiffened. When she was about to push him away, she saw that Frank had alreadye
down from upstairs. Her expression changed intensely and she quickly dodged his touch and shed
aside.
Emmett already hated her so much and if he misunderstood her… all the freedom would be took away
from her.
‘Justin’ was not angry, saying with a smile, “Sister-inw, hurry up. I’m very hungry.”
Frank, next to him, saw his interesting expression and turned his head to one side. This was the first
time he had seen his boss like this.
Who wouldn’t have thought that such an intimidating man like Emmett Lawrence would degrade
himself just to flirt with a woman who was already his wife?
Emmett raised his eyebrows and nced at Frank, “What do you mean by your expression?”
“Nothing…” He just thought that what his boss had done was not so gentle.
Instead of concentrating his job, his boss decided to pretend to Emmett’s cousin and flirt with his wife.
As if that poor woman didn’t have enough problems, he was creating even more.
Was it for the excitement of taboo?

But the next second, Frank denied this thought.
His boss wasn’t that sick in head.
He had been with Emmett for so many years, and he had never seen Emmett fall in love with someone.
Although the boss’s wife was not very good-looking, the boss treated her differently.
