Chapter 51


    “Maybe I should get a doctor to check you out.”


    “No, no need!” ra quickly responded, Tm just feeling super wiped out, a good night’s sleep will do


    the trick! I probably won’t be able to make it to the cocktail party tonight, I’m really sorry, Mr. Melendez!”


    “Just call me Emmett!”


    “Huh? But it’s just us here!”


    “From now on, you have to call me Emmett, no matter who’s around, or if it’s just the two of us.”


    ra was a bit confused by what he meant, but she just nodded anyway.


    *Ok..

    “Tll take you home, you should get some rest.”


    ra nodded vigorously, “Alright! Thanks… Mr. Melendez


    Emmett felt a little helpless.


    This woman….


    He didn’t even know what to make of her anymore!


    Once ra got home, she started waiting for Aiden’s call while clutching her phone on the couch.


    Suddenly, her phone rang!


    ra was startled, it was Elio who called…


    And here she thought it was Aiden.


    “Hello?”


    “Mummy!” Alex’s sweet voice came through, “Mummy! I miss you so much, I can’t sleep.”


    ra felt a pang of sadness, “Alex, mummy misses you too! I’ll be there soon!”


    “Don’t worry mummy, Mr. Milburn and I are getting along really well! Mr. Milburn bought me lots of


    yummy things, I’m afraid I’ll have to go on a diet when I get back!


    ra responded helplessly, “Don’t be too mischievous, Mr. Milburn has work to do, you have to learn to


    y by yourself! If you’re really bored, just give


    me a call.”


    “Alright! Don’t worry, mummy!”


    ra wanted to tell Alex about Aiden, but she didn’t know how to bring it up, so she just decided not to


    say anything.


    She’ll just wait and see!


    She was afraid that Alex might not be able to handle it, and she wasn’t there tofort him. If Alex


    started to cry, it would just cause trouble for Elio.


    Suddenly, Elio’s voice came through from the other end


    “When are you gonna agree to be my girlfriend? Alex justplimented me, saying I’m the best


    candidate to be his daddy!”


    Elio, don’t joke about this in front of the kid!”


    “Do I sound like I’m joking right now?”


    “Yes, you do!”


    “You’re just ignoring my feelings for you!” Elio said, “What did I do to deserve knowing such a heartless


    woman like you!”


    ra gave a helpless smile, “Once this is all over, I’ll definitely treat you to a meal!”


    “A meal? You think treating me to a meal is enough to repay me?”


    So what do you want?”


    “You also have to do me a favor!” Elio chuckled “Can you pretend to be my girlfriend? My parents keep


    pressuring me to get married, and it’s driving me crazy! So I told them I already have a girlfriend, and


    it’s you! They’ve even met you and are quite satisfied with you! So, you have to help me with this


    acting”


    Pretend to be his girlfriend again?!


    “Can you stop making things up without my consent? You went ahead and told your parents without


    consulting me! How can I face them the next time I


    see them?”


    Then I’ll try to make you my real girlfriend by the next meeting.”


    “Since you’re not saying anything. I’ll take it as your agreement! That settles it! I’m going to put Alex to


    bed now. Goodnight!”


    After speaking, Elio hung up the phone without any further discussion!


    ra looked at her phone, helplessly furrowing her brow How did ite to the point where they’re


    both asking her to pretend to be their girlfriend? She hadn’t even finished ying the role of Emmett’s


    wife herself, and now Elio also wants her to pretend to be his girlfriend!
