Chapter 163


    Emmett stared into her eyes, silent for quite a while, then shrugged, “Nah, I don’t want to push you.”


    What was he really after?


    All he wanted was for ra to be a normal wife, to share her social life with him, to just chat about her


    day.


    But every time he conversed with ra, he felt she was deliberately keeping her distance.


    He wanted to understand her better, but without resorting to certain measures, he couldn’t get any


    information out of her.


    Was he not a good enough husband?


    “Emmett, don’t be mad!” ra felt stuck between a rock and a hard ce, “I can’t control my friend’s


    thoughts. If she doesn’t want to meet you, I can’t


    force her.”


    “I get it.” Emmett patted his thigh, “Come sit.”


    “Huh?”


    Emmett pulled her over and made her sit on hisp.


    This made ra blush.


    “You… this isn’t appropriate, is it? We’re in the office.”


    “What’s inappropriate? You’re my wife, who dares toment?”


    ra really wanted to shut him up right then.


    “Can you not do this? If people hear, they’ll have more criticisms against me. I’ve already dealt with


    enough suspicion and misunderstanding in the office, how am I supposed to continue working?”


    Emmett smiled and kissed her.


    Caught off guard, ra forgot to resist. By the time she remembered, her face was as red as an apple.


    “You…”


    “You’re already a mother and you’re still blushing like a little girl!” She was truly adorable.


    ra immediately got up from hisp.


    Because she had noticed his… change…


    “If there’s nothing else, I… I need to get back to work! I was helping a friend earlier and left a lot of work


    unfinished.”


    Before Emmett could say anything, ra had already bolted out the door.


    All Emmett could do was chuckle helplessly, then he pulled out his phone and made a call.


    “Matt, you can stop investigating ra’s friend from now on.”


    “Alright.”


    After hanging up, Emmett smiled to himself.


    Perhaps he should trust ra more. Otherwise, when would their marital bond deepen?


    Isn’t trust the foundation of a marriage? He should give her more of it.


    ra hurried back to her office, sitting at her desk with a red face.


    Her coworker called out to her a few times, but she didn’t respond until she was gently tapped on the


    shoulder.


    “Your design was praised by the boss! I just saw it, really good.” Her coworkerughed, “Could you


    teach me? I always feel like I’m out of ideas. I think I should retire.”


    “You’re too kind! I just looked at a lot of examples, no special tricks.”


    “Well that’s talent!” Her coworker waved her off and was called away by someone else.


    ra sat in her chair, lightly pping her cheek to try and wake herself up.


    In the hotel, Leah woke up to an empty room, feeling annoyed.


    She stood up, tore off all the bandages on her arm and threw them away!


    Walking out to the balcony, Leah dialed Elio’s number.
