Chapter 1182 He Can’t Exin Himself
Infuriated, Ashton growled with gnashed teeth, “Be prepared to fall to your death, then!”
Ignoring her, Emmanuel, knowing Ashton was still weak, after securing her with safety measures,
suddenly instructed, “Hold on to me!”
“What?!” Ashton couldn’t believe her ears. “You want me to hold on to you? What nonsense are you
thinking? Who do you think you are?”
“Shut up!” Emmanuel hurriedly interjected before she could explode. “I injured my arm saving you
during the day. I can’t carry you down, so you have to hold on to me!”
Earlier, when he descended, he wanted to find two sets of ropes, but unfortunately, he only had one in
the trunk. Moreover, even with two sets, Ashton, in her current state, couldn’t descend alone.
“I…” Ashton suddenly became submissive, looking somewhat aggrieved. “Hmph, fine, I’ll hold you!
Must you be so fierce?”

She had never hugged a man, even when she was ostensibly Maxwell’s girlfriend. Now, considering
the man had saved her life, she decided to give him some advantage.
Emmanuel, however, wasn’t thinking along those lines at all. When she hugged him, he couldn’t help
but frown and say, “Don’t hold too tight. I told you yours are massive, and it makes it hard for me to
breathe!”
“You!” Ashton almost passed out from anger for the third time because of him.
In fact, she was quite mncholic about why she had suchrge sets. Although men liked it, she didn’t.
In fact, she often found it inconvenient, especially during fights. Now, being criticized by Emmanuel,
she decided that when she returned, she would consider getting surgery to reduce it a bit and see how
it felt.
Although Emmanuel reminded her not to hold too tight, as they descended, Ashton couldn’t help but
tightly hug Emmanuel. Emmanuel had no choice but to endure the pain of jealousy from other men.
Unexpectedly, after descending for a while, Emmanuel’s phone in his pocket rang. Initially hesitant to
answer, he thought about the time, realizing it must be his wife, so he paused, took out his phone, and
indeed, it was Mackenzie.
“Emmanuel, why haven’t youe home yet? It’s already 11 p.m.!” Mackenzie sounded a bit worried
and angry.
This man, as soon as he gets busy with udette’s matters, forgets about his wife at home! He didn’t
even call home to check in!
“Oh, Mackenzie!” Emmanuel quickly exined the situation to his wife. “I haven’t finished here yet. I
lost track of time!”
“Why are you still busy sote?” Mackenzie asked, puzzled.
Before Emmanuel could respond, Ashton became a bit impatient. “Emmanuel, is it your time to be
intimate with
“Un, Mackenzie! Emmanuel quickly exined the situation to his wife. “I haven’t finished here yet. I lost
track of time!”
“Why are you still busy sote?” Mackenzie asked, puzzled,
Before Emmanuel could respond, Ashton became a bit impatient. “Emmanuel, is it your time to be
intimate with your wife? I’m almost too tired to hug you anymore!”
What?
On the other end, Mackenzie’s beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed. “Emmanuel, are you alone with
Officer
Summerton right now?”
She had been quite polite, not mentioning them hugging each other. Even so, over the phone,
Emmanuel could feel the coldness emanating from his wife.
“Shut up!” Emmanuel quickly scolded Ashton, warning her to watch her mouth.
Though displeased, she merely pouted, looking like a victim. It was such a contrast to her usual proud
and dominant demeanor. If her colleagues and admirers saw her like this now, their jaws would surely
drop. This was definitely the not Officer Summerton, who was bold and fierce and wouldn’t hesitate to
beat up men at the slightest provocation, they knew!
Ashton indeed didn’t do it on purpose, but now, sensing Emmanuel’s anger, she knew she had done
something wrong, causing suspicions between the couple.
“Mackenzie, 1-”
“Alright, I know. You must be helping Ashton, right?”
Emmanuel was still worrying about how to exin, but unexpectedly, his wife guessed it right away. He
could only go along with it and give a perfunctory “Hmm.”
“Be careful, I’ll rest now. See you tomorrow.” Mackenzie not only spoke kindly but also had a gentle
tone, surprising Emmanuel.
However, after hanging up the phone, there was a hint of anger in Mackenzie’s eyes. She believed
Emmanuel, of course, but she thought Ashton did it intentionally. Could that woman really like
Emmanuel? Was she trying to deliberately make me misunderstand him? Just what’s so charming
about that idiot? Why do so many women like him?
After Emmanuel put his phone away, he red at Ashton again. Fortunately, his wife was smart and
understanding; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to exin himself.
