Chapter 55


    Emmett showed up at ra’s ce, his presence in the tiny room seeming to shrink the space even


    more.


    “When are you moving to my ce?”


    In a few days, I guess!”

    “Tomorrow”


    ra frowned, “I need some time to pack! I still have time on my lease here and I’ve already paid the


    rent!”


    Emmett plopped down on the sofa, picking up a finance book from the coffee table, “You into this


    stuff?”


    Tm not really into it, I’m just trying to learn something I mean, how else am I supposed to be a good


    secretary if I don’t know anything?”


    Emmett smirked and responded, “If you’re interested in finance, I could teach you myself” ra quickly


    declined, “No, not I can manage on my own! I wouldn’t want to waste your time! Emmett insisted,


    “You’re my wife, I should be doing this.”


    He suddenly got up and headed for the bathroom, and ra hurriedly followed. She felt anxious,


    fearing he might find traces of Alex that she hadn’t yet managed to erase.


    After all, Emmett’s visit was out of the blue! She was totally unprepared! Trying to change the subject,


    Emmett asked, “Do you live here alone?“,


    ra nodded and replied, “Yeah!” Emmett continued, “Don’t you have a son?”


    ra’s face saddened as she responded, “He was taken away by my ex husband’s family”


    Hearing her mention her ex, Emmett frowned and said, “We should bring your son back at some point.


    I’d like to meet him”


    “Oh… okay. ra could only nod reluctantly.


    This was proving to be a real ordeal for her.


    Every second with Emmett felt like a scene out of a disaster movie!


    “Let’s eat. After a quick once–over of the ce, satisfied that ra was indeed living alone, he rxed,


    Tll have Ricardo help you move tomorrow”


    “Alright…” ra agreed, thinking she’d be closer to her son, she nodded.


    But she’d have to be extra careful when video chatting with Alex from now on!


    She dumped the contents of her shopping bag onto tes in the kitchen.


    Honestly, it didn’t look appetizing at all!


    She had bought it in a hurry, afraid her lie would be exposed! As for whether it was actually tasty, she


    had no ideal


    When she brought the tes over, Emmett frowned, “What is this?”


    “It’s good! Give it a try! It’s spaghetti bolognese!”


    Emmett scowled but didn’t move his fork, “You say this is good?”


    “Yes! It’s really good!” ra quickly tasted it.


    The next second… she almost threw up!


    Did she forget to add salt to this bolognese?! It was tasteless!


    Emmett looked at her, “What’s wrong?”


    “Nothing! I just… got too excited tasting such delicious bolognese!”


    Emmett eyed her suspiciously, then picked up his fork and had a taste….


    ra watched his brow furrow!


    “You enjoy eating this?”


    ra nodded vigorously, “Yeah! Don’t you like it?”


    “…You find this tasty?


    “Yes! It’s absolutely delicious!”


    Emmett put down his fork and stood up. Then enjoy, I’m off to bed.”


    “You’re leaving?” ra hurriedly stood up. T’ll walk you out!”


    Emmett said, “It’ste, I’ll just sleep here.”


    “What sleep here?!”


    “What’s wrong?” Emmett looked at her as if this was the most natural thing in the world.
