Chapter 681


    Boyd, who had left with Maeve before, now caught up again. "Emily, can I speak to you for a


    moment?"


    "No, I..." Emily pursed her lips.


    Boyd interrupted her hurriedly. She didn''t know if it was because he was married, he became


    gloomy in a state of preupation. "I just want to talk to you. I won''t keep you a moment. Ten


    minutes! Or five minutes. I promise I won''t bother you after I finish my words!"


    Upon hearing thest word, Emily frowned.


    Almost subconsciously, she turned her head to look to the side.


    When Simon met with her gaze, a faint smile crossed his lips. He raised his hand and stroked her


    head as if he had done it countless times. "Why are you looking at me? Come on, it''s up to you!"


    "Okay!" Emily said, nodding after weighing the pros and cons.


    Seeing this, Simon shook her shoulder. "I''ll wait for you at the crossing ahead."


    After that, he walked past them with his hands in his pockets.


    This pedestrian street led to the river bank. When they were in university, they often dated here on


    weekends. Now they stood face to face, but everything was different. Emily asked nonchntly with


    her hands sped behind her. "Boyd, what do you want to say?"


    Boyd lowered his head and kept silent for a while. Then he said slowly, "Emily, do you hate me?"


    "No." Upon hearing this, Emily shook her head, a faint sneer hung on her lips. "Boyd, you did hurt


    me a lot, but the past is, well, it''s past! It''s a lie that lovers could still be friends after breakup. We


    can''t be lovers or friends, we''d better not to meet each other in this life! I did hate you and don''t


    want to forgive you, but now, I feel nothing to you. At your wedding, I said that I wish you happiness


    after your marriage. I mean every word of it."


    "Emily, I know that I''m not worthy of your forgiveness." Boyd''s gaze was deeply fixed on her, behind


    his eyes was a whole universe of pain. "But Emily, I have a reason. Until now, I am still helpless!"


    "Life was so hard when I studied alone abroad. I knew what you had done for me, so I also wanted


    to give you a better life! After graduation, I worked as an intern at Maeve''s father''spany. I didn''t


    expect that she would love me at first sight. I told her thousand times that I had a girlfriend, but she


    didn''t give up!"


    "In the end, in order to force me to marry her, she even set a trap for me. Imittedmercial


    crimes. If I don''t agree to be with her, I will be thrown in jail. Even if I might be released, my life is


    ruined. You know that I am an only child. I need to support my parents, so I am forced step by step


    and have be what I am now..."


    Hearing this, Emily was stunned for a moment.


    She had always thought that the reason why he cheated on her was because he had taken a fancy


    to Maeve''s identity and wanted to make use of this opportunity to achieve a meteoric rise. She


    never thought that he would have no other choice.


    He was not happy either.


    When Emily heard the truth, she was indeed shocked. But on second thought, she couldn''t help


    sneering. "Well, it''s indeed her style!"


    She had seen Maeve''s tactics. At that time, her uncle was almost thrown in jail. If she hadn''t


    reached a marriage agreement with Simon, he would have ended up in prison. Maeve would have


    done anything to anybody to get her way. What a horrible woman!


    "Emily, I don''t know how we became like this today. I was sincere when I returned to China, I told


    you to wait for me for three years, at most four years, I will definitely be sessful an rich. By then,


    I won''t have to worry about being manipted by anyone!" Boyd looked at her and his voice


    became hoarse, "I just didn''t expect that you would get married before me..."


    "Boyd." Emily called his name in a soft tone as she used to be when they were in love. She shook


    her head, but what he said was resolute. "I understand your difficulties, but this can''t change the


    fact that you chose to abandon me."


    Between his lover and career, he chose thetter.


    Therefore, even if she knew the truth, she wouldn''t regret her decision. She did not deny that she


    would feel a bit of bitterness for the their past, but that was all.


    "I''m sorry." Boyd croaked a wry smile, "Actually, I came to you after the wedding to tell you these


    things. I haven''t seed for you for a long time, but Mr. Chin came down."


    "Really?" Emily was surprised.


    Boyd nodded. Thinking of the conversation in the car that night, he couldn''t help but clench his fist


    and said, "Well, he warned me to stay away from his wife."


    Emily stood there in a daze. She had not expected that.


    No wonder she didn''t see anyone after she finished juicing the fruits that night. He lied to her that he


    was going to dump the garbage but came back after a long time.


    Emily tilted her head and looked ahead. In the streetmp, Simon stood there with one hand in his


    pocket, habitually holding a cigarette with his left hand. The white smoke was blown far away by the


    wind. He skillfully flicked the ashes from his cigarette, and his side face was strongly defined as a


    sculpture.


    Boyd looked at her face that was right in front of him, but he felt that she was far away.


    The dim light in his eyes was like thest trace of mes in the burning charcoal. He asked


    tentatively, "Emily, we... I mean, can we be together in the future?"


    "No." Emily shook her head without hesitation.


    Boyd slowly nodded and said bitterly, "Okay, I got it. I''ll do what I said. I won''t bother you anymore!"


    Emily pursed her lips and said nothing more. She turned around and was ready to leave.


    When she just took a step, she heard Boyd''s voice, "Emily, do you love him?"


    Her heart missed a beat all of a sudden.


    She opened his mouth, only to find that she didn''t know what to say. She froze for two seconds, and


    then left in a hurry.


    She walked quickly all the way to the intersection, and her heart beat raced because of thest


    question.


    Hearing the footsteps, Simon turned his head and looked over. He removed the cigarette in his


    hand and said unhappily with a frown, "Didn''t you say it would take five minutes?"


    "Yes!" Emily nodded.

    Simon rolled up his sleeves and showed his watch to her. "You''ve overrun your time by one minute!"
