Chapter 689


    Emily stood there in a daze.


    She was surprised by the sweet ways in which he wanted her to address him. She felt as if her


    breath had been taken away so that she could only hear her heart beating so fast that was about to


    jump out of her chest.


    Fortunately, her aunt came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and said with a smile, "Simon,


    have a taste of this. This is Jamaica Blue Mountain! One of your uncle''s friends who works there


    give several pounds. Your uncle will never share it with others!"


    "Thank you!" Simon took it with both hands.


    Aunt also brought out a tter of fruit and put it on the table.


    Emily finally understood why Z said that love was not old, it was to keep an eternal me and


    eternal light, the existence of the world took it as nourishment. Since the day she was adopted by


    her aunt, she was treated the same way as her aunt did to Selena. Her aunt had already regarded


    her as a daughter. Now she was genuinely d that her daughter''s husband was such a humdinger.


    Aunt asked lovingly, "Simon, what do you like?


    I''ll cook for youter!"


    Simon curled up his lips and answered politely. "Aunt, I''m not picky about food. I can cook too.


    Please let me know how I can help!"


    "Okay!" Aunt''s face wrinkled in a grin.


    From selling the kidney in the morning to paying off the money for each family, half a day had


    passed. By the time the meal was ready, it was already afternoon. As the extraction fan buzzed,


    through the ss door of the kitchen, Emily could see Simon, whose lips were slightly upturned


    standing next to her excited aunt in front of the burners.


    A lively conversation went on with everybody joining in when they enjoyed the superb meal. They


    usually had meals in the living room. Their house was old- fashioned, and the rooms were furnished


    with taste.


    Today, with Simon, the round table seemed to be too small forthem.


    During the more than two days since Emily returned to the town, everyone was frowning worriedly


    about the debts. They didn''t eat much. Most of the time, they just ate some snacks.


    Now, with great relief, these dishes gave them a good appetite. Though her uncle was inarticte,


    he poured out two sses of champagne and handed one to Simon enthusiastically.


    "I''d like to propose a toast! Simon, here''s to you! As you said, we are a family now. I won''t say too


    much, but thank you! Bottoms up!" After saying that, uncle whispered in his ear, "My wife doesn''t


    allow me to drink. Since you''re here, I''d like to get drunk today!"


    "Cheers!" Simon raised his ss with both hands.


    Selena also picked up her ss and said, "Here''s to our savior. But I can''t drink alcohol, so I


    substitute juice for champagne!"


    Emily looked at the smile on her family members'' faces and realized that they had already epted


    Simon. Although she despised Simon for hisrger-than-life acting, she loved the atmosphere now


    because everyone hadn''t felt so happy out for age.


    She raised her ss against the ss and took a sip of champagne. Her stomach seemed to be


    warm.


    The mealsted for a long time. At the end, it was dark outside. Emily looked at the clock on the


    wall and ased with a frown, "Simon, you have drunk so much. How can you drive back to Ice city?"


    They were not in the city, where he could call for a driving service. He had to drive on superhighway


    back.

    Aunt came forward and pulled her arm unhappily. "Don''t go back tonight! Simon must be tired. Why


    don''t you leave tomorrow morning? I''ll clean up a bedroom for him. He stays here tonight!"


    "No. We have to go to work tomorrow!" Emily said with embarrassment.


    At this time, Simon said slowly with a ss of champagne, "I''ll take the night shift, so I have nothing


    to do at day."


    "..." Emily gritted her teeth.


    When aunt heard this, she smiled and made the final decision for them. "That''s settled. You can ask


    your boss for a leave tomorrow morning. It''s alright!"


    Since they were married, so they had to sleep in the same room. Selena shared the room with aunt,


    and her uncle would sleep on the sofa.


    When night fell, the smell of food and alcohol clung to the room. Emily held the quilt brought by her


    aunt and walked into the bedroom.


    Simon, who had already taken a shower, was standingzily by the window, with a cigarette in his


    hand, blowing out the smoke.


    Even though they were married, Emily still felt very shy about sleeping together in her aunt''s house.


    But at the same time, she didn''t forget another thing. He left with a beautiful woman in a sports car,


    and when she called him that night, the woman told her that he was taking a shower...


    She threw the quilt and the pillow into a bed and said without raising her head, "You sleep on


    Selena''s bed!"


    Then, Emily went straight to the opposite bed and threw off her slippers to lie on it.


    After the lights were turned off in the bedroom, Simon stubbed out the cigarette, but he didn''t do as


    she said, instead, he lifted the quilt andy next to her.


    "Hey, what are you doing! It''s not big enough for us!"


    Emily reached out her hands to push him away, tightly biting her lips.


    Because there were two twin beds in the bedroom, so it was indeed small for him, who was tall and


    muscr. On top of that, she was sulky.


    Who had told her that he had no mistress since he met her in Crocus City?


    Liar!


    Doubts that had been submerged in her mind suddenly resurfaced. She felt somewhat had


    suffocated her heart, something like straws, armed with sharp prickles, leaving her endless pain.


    Simon grabbed her wrists easily with one hand, almostpletely pressing her against the wall.


    "What else can I do with my wife?"


    "You can sleep with other girls!" Emily said in a bad mood.


    "Who?" Simon asked in azy tone.


    Emily sneered and blurted out, "The one who drove a sports car at the hospital entrance. You can''t


    fool me. She told me that you were taking a shower!"


    Hearing this, Simon thought for a while and replied with a calm andposed voice, "Her name is


    Caroline Channing."


    Caroline Channing? Well, why didn''t she call Max ck?


    Emily gave a forced smile. "What a fashion name!"


    Simon popped himself up with his arm, quietly raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Emily, that''s the


    reason why you reject me by switching off your phone?"


    Emily pursed her lips and said nothing.


    Even in the dark, she could recognize his profile. She knew that he was staring at her with his


    beautiful eyes. When she heard a deepughter, she said angrily, "What are you


    <pughing at!"
