Chapter 890
It was at night.
The roses outside the window had stopped blooming, and the night was quiet. The windows of
every house were closed again. After watching the bustling scene, they continued to do their own
things, but the smell of gunpowder could still be smelt faintly in the air.
There was no light in the room. Emily stood there motionless, looking into the distance through the
window.
She thought of Simon''s disappointed face after she refused him.
Looking down, she saw that the candles had already been put out. The cleaner was cleaning up
and throwing them all into the trash can.
There was a noise from porch, followed by the sound of heavy footstepsing from afar. It
seemed that the person had been waiting there. Emily turned around and looked into the distance in
the darkness. At this moment, the original bright eyes looked very gloomy now.
Even his expression was stiff.
Emily knew that it was hurtful for any manto be rejected from a proposal .
"Why don''t you want to marry me?"
Her voice was low and deep. It seemed that he was gritting his teeth.
Emily turned her head and looked out of the window. Not long ago, the fireworks bloomed in the
night sky like roses, as if they were still lingering there. They were so beautiful and bright that she
had never seen a firework with the pattern of roses.
She said slowly, "Simon, it''s not that I am happy every time I see fireworks."
Simon''s big hand in the pocket was tightly clenched, and the diamond ring rubbed his palm.
Emily met his gaze and continued to say softly, "You came all the way here. I know what you''re
thinking, but it''s impossible!"
Simon took arge step forward and asked just like before, "Why is it impossible?"
The light was dim, but Emily could see his features. Simon was staring at her and said, "Emily, I
know that you are disheartened at losing our baby, but we can have a child again. We can entrust
our love for this child to ourter children. If one isn''t enough, we can have two, three, or even more
children!"
Simon continued to walk forward, closer to her.
His Adam''s apple moved, and his breath was very heavy. He tried to persuade her. "Sean and Addy
have divorced. I told you that she had returned to Newley City long ago after regaining her freedom.
Nothing will affect our rtionship. You..."
Emily suddenly interrupted him and asked, "What about the future?"
"In the future?" Simon was startled.
Emily''s eyshes fluttered, and she stared at him for a moment. "Even if she returns to Newley
City, or goes to any country, but what if she happens to meet a second Sean? Will you leave her
alone?"
Simon was stunned.
He really had not thought about this problem.
Even if he had not thought about it, he could not answer it at this time. He might have lost his love
with Addy for a long time, but he was responsible for the guilt. It was a conscience debt. If
something like this really happened, he dared not deny that he would not...
When Emily saw his silence, she pursed her lips as she had expected.
She was really disappointed now.
She lowered her eyelids and looked at the big hand tightly holding her. She could see the blue veins
underneath her skin. Then she suddenly said, "Simon, I love you."
Simon was truly shocked, with his eyshes trembling.
There was suspicion on his face, as if he was hallucinating. His eyes were full of incredulity and
surprise, so much so that he didn''t know what to do.
She loved him...
She had never said that!
Simon felt his blood rush up from the soles of his feet. He was too excited to say a word. The heart
in his chest almost jumped out. He was very excited but there was a faint uneasiness.
His heart was beating widly. Before he could recover from his ecstasy, Emily looked up at him
again.

"When I thought about escaping from Ice city, but in fact, I couldn''t leave you, because I love you."
"But now I don''t love you anymore. Even if I didn''te here, I wouldn''t change my idea. I don''t...
love you now. Do you understand?"
Such a transition was a huge blow to Simon.
He felt like a person who had struggled to climb up from the cliff. As soon as he popped his head
out, he was easily kicked back into the abyss before he could cheer.
The proposal was almost his final bet. He thought that he could change her mind. Even if he
couldn''t, at least she would reconsider the decision to live apart from him...
Being stunned, Simon stood there for a long time.
Emily''s heart had already been dead for a very long time.
Her heart died with her unborn child.
At the age of 18, Emily met Boyd in university. At that time, she had firstprehended the feelings
of love. They had been in love for five whole years. Once, they were about to get married. She did
not expect to encounter Boyd''s betrayal in the end.
However, perhaps because she was too young at that time, she could quickly cheer up after being
injured. After that, she met Simon.
The entanglement before and after the marriagested nearly five years. Although she had a lot of
happy time, but when she thought about it, it was still too short. Finally, it was a failure again. Only
she knew how serious the emotional injury was this time.
From the age of 18 to 28, Emily spent ten years but failed. She was mentally and physically
exhausted and no longer had any hope of falling in love. Or it could be said that she had no courage
and only wanted to get rid of it...
As a person, one would be afraid of being injured. A person''s ability to withstand injuries was truly
limited.
"I am very tired. Both Boyd and you make me feel very tired and even frustrated! I really don''t want
to be with you again. Every second is very torturous for me. I just want to have a new beginning,
forget everything about the past and live a good life here!" After saying that, Emily bowed her head.
The drooping two hands were raised respectively, and the left hand touched the ring on the right
hand. The silver ring was suffused with a cold luster in the darkness.
In fact, she should have given it back to him long ago...
After Emily took off the ring, she grabbed his hand. Then, she slowly opened his hand and ced it
on his palm.
While withdrawing her hand, she looked at him. The corners of her eyes were slightly trembling, and
she said wearily, "Simon, I''m begging you. Please let me go..."
The confusion in Simon''s eyes gradually turned into desperation.
He waspletely desperate and helpless now.
Early in the morning, the sun was shining through the window.
Emily walked back slowly from the next room with a pillow in her arms. As soon as she passed the
porch, she could faintly smell the cigarette in the air.
After looking at the closed bedroom door, she looked at the half- open window, and then looked
down at the trash can next to the sofa. There were countless cigarette butts inside. Presumably,
after she leftst night, he should have smoked for a long time.
Emily put the pillow on the sofa and went to the kitchen to pour a ss of water.
Warm water spread from her throat into her stomach, and she raised her hands to press on her
painful temples.
She turned around and wanted to take something out of the refrigerator to eat. After opening it, two
cartons of milk fell with cracking sounds, followed by several bananas. The scene inside surprised
her.
It was filled with so much food that it was hard to open and close the door normally.
Just when she was still in shock, there was a sounding from the porch.
Emily looked back subconsciously and was surprised to see the tall and straight figureing over.
Just now, she saw that the bedroom door was closed, so she thought that he hadn''t gotten up.
Unexpectedly, he had already gone out in the early morning.
It seemed that he went to the supermarket. He not only carried two shopping bags full of stuffs, but
also a paper bag in her arms.
It came to Emily''s mind that the things in the refrigerator must have been bought by him.
Simon came over and put the shopping bags on the semicircle table. Then he said, "Emily, I fill the
refrigerator with food. I also bought some extra food that can be stored for a long time. If you don''t
like the food here, you can try to cook some food yourself. There are two books about the dishes!"
His voice was obviously hoarse.
Perhaps, he smoked too much and didn''t sleep well. His eyes were sunken and ck- ringed, being
streaked with red blood, which made him look particrly gaunt.
Emily pursed her lips and remained silent.
Simon opened the shopping bag, and he seemed to be checking if there was anything missed. He
checked them over and over again. Then he said in a low voice, "You here alone. I''m very worried.
The sun here is potentially damaging to your skin, so you should pay more attention to the sun
protection. Besides, you should wear more clothes when it''s cold. You must go to the hospital if you
don''t feel well. I bought you some basic medicines!"
"Although it is rtively safepared to other countries, the public security is still enough here,
especially at night. Try not to go out. If you go out, you have to find a colleague to apany you.
Remember to call 10111 when you run into a dangerous emergency! Remember to eat breakfast
every day, lock the door when you sleep at night, and take good care of yourself!"
Hearing his endless words, Emily couldn''t help but frown. She couldn''t help saying, "Simon, you..."
Simon raised his eyelids and he looked frustrated. Then he forced a smile and said in a hoarse
voice, "I understand what you said yesterday. I will respect your decision. If you want to live
yourself, then I agree. Don''t worry. I won''t pester you anymore."
"Well, thank you..." Emily was a little surprised.
Simon''s thin lips twitched hesitantly. Then he turned around and walked towards the living room.
He pulled up the suitcase next to the wardrobe and looked at her with deep eyes. After a long
silence, he said slowly and bitterly, "Emily, I''m leaving!"
Emily curled her hands into her sleeves and said hesitantly,"... Goodbye."
Simon said, "Goodbye."
They clearly knew the implied meaning of this word.
It was also a farewell to their love and marriage.
With the dull footsteps, the tall and straight figure quickly disappeared from the porch. Then all that
was left was a muffled sound of the door closing. In the end, no sound could be heard.
