Chapter 770


    Emily''s face turned red in embarrassment. "Anthea, I do hope you haven''t fallen in with the wrong


    crowd. Will you stop saying that?"


    "I''m not. I''ve been to some poor countries and met simple and honest people!" Anthea said in


    defense. Then she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. "Emily, it''s my new number.


    Keep in touch! I will never lose cell service again. I have to go to buy some grapefruits for my mom


    on West Street!"


    "Miss Lee, I can drive you there!" Simon said decidedly.


    When she introduced herself just now, as a doctor, he appreciated her courage in rendering medical


    assistance abroad for so many years. Besides, she was a woman. There were few Schweizters in


    this world now. What was more important was that Anthea was Emily''s close friend, so he had an


    ulterior motive in offering to help her.


    Anthea waved her hand and held the small bunch of baby''s breath. "No, you may continue. I can


    walk to there, only a short distance away!"


    When she was about to turn around and leave, she blinked her eyes at Emily meaningfully.


    Emily put her hand on her forehead. She could never break away from her frivolous image.


    She looked away, but the low voice of the man rang at this time. "Do you want to make out in the


    car as your friend said?"


    "I don''t want it!" Emily red at him.


    Simon raised his eyebrows and said teasingly, "I''m just joking. Don''t take it seriously!"


    "..." Emily gnashed her teeth.


    Simon''s thin lips curved up slightly and suddenly said, "They areing out!"


    At the same time, he had already walked past her with big steps. He walked up to the two elders


    and helped them carry things. From a distance, she heard theughter of her aunt.


    "Emily, was Anthea talking to you just now?"


    "Yes!" Emily replied.

    "Oh dear. I haven''t seen her parents recently. When did shee back? She changed a lot. She''s


    a little tanned, but she''s more pretty. I can''t even recognize her just now!" Aunt whispered in


    surprise.


    Emily nodded in agreement. Indeed, she did look a bit different. Anthea was very beautiful since


    young. She had always been a well-recognized beauty in the schools.


    "She is at the same age as you, twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She has be a


    spinster. She has been abroad for the past few years and hasn''t evene back for Christmas.


    Until now, she doesn''t even have a boyfriend. I''m so worried for her!" After her aunt sighed, she


    dropped the subject, "You are much better than her. You get yourself a good husband!"


    Emily pursed her lips.


    She couldn''t help but look at Simon, who was leaning over to help her uncle put the food into the


    trunk one by one. His side face looked so handsome that she couldn''t take her eyes off him.


    Her aunt was still murmuring to herself. "I''ll call her tonight and ask her toe over and have


    dinner with us!"


    "Okay!" Emily nodded.


    The dinner was as extravagant and lively as it used to be.


    Since her aunt returned home from the market, she had not stopped working in the kitchen. In fact,


    in the past four years, as long as Simon went back here, the dinner would be a st as if they were


    spending another


    Christmas together.


    After Simon yed chess with her uncle, he washed his hands and went to the kitchen to help.


    Separated by a transparent ss door, she could hear Simon and her aunt talking andughing


    from time to time in the buzzing sound of the exhauster.


    Unknowingly, it was already dark outside. Emily''s eyes were fixed on the television screen, her


    heart was pulling her towards the kitchen. When Simon came out of the kitchen carrying a tray, she


    couldn''t help but stand up. Avoiding the sight of her uncle, she pulled him aside and asked in a low


    voice, "Simon, are you going to stay here tonight?"


    "Auntie asked me to stay!" Simon repliedzily.


    "..." Emily frowned.


    Seeing that he was helpless either, she pursed her lips but did not say anything.


    Until the sound of the exhauster in the kitchen stopped, aunt came out with the freshly cooked soup.


    Emily cleared her throat and pretended to say casually, "Auntie, Simon will go back after dinner. He


    has a morning shift tomorrow!"


    Simon, who bent down setting the table, suddenly stopped.


    "Well!" Her aunt was very disappointed when she heard this, but she understood. "Well, Simon,


    maybe next weekend you two cane back together. You haven''te home for a long time!"


    Simon nced at Emily''s face and his lips curled into a smile. "Sure."


    Emily pursed her lips and was surprised that he didn''t refuse.


    The living room was lit, and five of them were sitting around a round table. The smells from the


    kitchen filled the room, which deluded her into imagining that they hadn''t divorced yet.


    Although she was on the mend from severe first- trimester nausea, she still had no appetite. She


    had forced herself to eat more before. Now, facing such a sumptuous meal, she was stressed. After


    eating a few mouthfuls of food, she was stuffed.


    To ensure that she was not too obtrusive, she left the table early and sat on the sofa. Simon and


    uncle were deep in conversation. Every time they met each other, they always had plenty to talk


    about.


    Halfway through, she went back to the bedroom and took out her mobile phone to call Anthea.


    At that time, her aunt mentioned inviting Anthea toe home for dinner. In the evening, Emily had


    called her, but she didn''t get through. When she called Anthea''s home, she was told that Anthea


    went out at five o''clock.


    At this time, she called Anthea''s home again, but her mother still said that Anthea had not returned


    home yet.


    Emily frowned, put down her cell phone, and went out. The picture on the dining table gave her a


    big fright. Just before entering the room, the two men, who were talking andughing at the table,


    were both passed out drunk.


    Her aunt and Selena were helping her plump uncle up.


    Seeing that she was stood on the spot, aunt said unhappily, "Emily, don''t just stand there! Simon is


    very drunk. Hurry up and help him in!"


    Emily pursed her lips. "But he''s going back to Ice city..."


    "How could he drive back?" Hearing this, aunt refuted directly, "His legs wouldn''t hold him up. I


    won''t let him call a driving service. That''s dangerous. Tomorrow is the official weekly rest day. He


    can do his work the day after tomorrow. He must rest here today."


    "..." Emily held her breath.


    That meant that they were going to sleep in one room tonight...
