When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1171
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Same old, same old.” Emery rolled her eyes. “It’s a pain in the butt having to live with your inws.
Hunter’s mom is getting especially troublesome. We have so many maids in the house but she still
forces me to get up early and make breakfast for Hunter every day. I’ve never had to do that before!
Besides, if I have to do all that, then we might as well get rid of our maids.”
Emery was a part of the Moore family after all. She never had to worry about a single thing her whole
life. Apart from that, she had a good eye for investments and had more than enough money to spare.
Hunter’s parents probably didn’t know that and just treated her like a housewife. Like most parents,
they pitied their son for having to work so hard and transferred all the pressure on Emery’s shoulders in
an attempt to build a ‘good wife’ for Hunter.
I didn’t know whether tough or cry at her story and stood up for her. “Didn’t Hunter speak up for
you?”
“Him?” Emery looked strange, as if she didn’t want to talk about him. “I wouldn’t know. We haven’t been
talking muchtely.”
“Why not? You two got together because you had simr interests in the first ce.”
Emery shrugged. “He’s very much into a bunch of academic stuff now. Every day, he heads straight
into the study aftering home from school and has meetings with the members of that discussion
group. They talk about all this finance and stock market stuff that is honestly pretty boring.”
Without waiting for me to answer, she ced her hands on the bench and sighed. “Still, I know that all
men want to be sessful. At least I find that drive and determination attractive.”
Iughed, but covered it up with two awkward coughs. “Watch it, you’re about to drool.”
Emery red at me before quickly changing the subject. “Since I have toe back again tomorrow,
I’ll just stay the night.”
“Tomorrow?” I didn’t really get it, but I teased her anyway. “So you sent Summer back just to take her
again tomorrow? You really see her as your daughter now, huh?”
“Well, she’s my goddaughter after all.” Emery crossed her legs and ced her hands on her knees
casually. Suddenly, she looked at my stomach and became a little serious. “Also, you’re having twins.
Everyone would want toe and take in some of your luck.”

I looked down at my stomach. While I felt a little weird under her stare, my whole head was filled with
the thought of Jacksoning to take Summer away, so I didn’t look further into it.
Only until tomorrow night did I realize what Emery meant. Cameron and Zachary arrived in full fancy
garb. The news of my pregnancy had already gotten spread far and wide. The celebration was
supposed to be held earlier, but due to my bar exam and because they were afraid I’d be tired from the
pregnancy. That would exin why they only held it today.
At first, I thought they would only invite some close friends and family, but the guests arriving at our
door became more and more strange. Apart from Cameron and Zachary, Louis and John naturally had
to attend as well. After that, some people of even higher status than Cameron and Zachary arrived. To
my surprise, even Channing showed up.
It seemed like everyone I knew who was of some high status showed their faces The celebration
miraculously turned the news of my pregnancy into some big event. Only when Iid my eyes upon the
crowds of people in my house here to congratte me on my pregnancy did I finally feel guilty at
Jackson’s words.
Macy became nothing more than a ck and white photograph stuck on a tombstone forever while I
continued to enjoy life and the admiration of many people. It was only reasonable for Jackson to feel
angry by such arge difference.
I did my best to greet everyone before starting to feel worn out. I decided to go upstairs to rest and let
Ashton and Emery deal with the guests.
