Chapter 366: We''re Just Acting
Emmett sneered. He didn''t even look at Marina next to him and said coldly.
"What are you dreaming about? That''s just publicity."
(⊙_⊙)
Marina was lost for words.
...
After a long time, Marina saw the shadow of the seaside vi. She said in a low voice.
"But ... Emmett, we are engaged."
"Well, get a chance and release a statement saying that the engagement is cancelled."
Marina was astounded. She bit her lips tightly without saying a word.
''I won''t do that! I''m not making a statement! I won''t cancel this engagement!''
''Emmett, we''ll wait and see. After you take three doses of medicine, you will love me only!''
Emmett indifferently turned around and looked at Marina with disdain. He sneered.
"What? You really don''t want to marry me, do you? Have you forgotten that we were acting from the
beginning?"
Marina endured the pain and forced a smile.
"No ... I didn''t think about to be with you..."
Marina knew how difficult it was to say that.
Emmett didn''t say anything more. He looked for his mobile phone to read the report about the
engagement.
And then, he called Kayden.
"Kayden, it''s me. Start a thorough investigation from early tomorrow''s morning and see if there is
magazine or website dare to report my engagement. You can just bring someone over to damage their
offices. I don''t want to see any report about my engagement tomorrow!"
As Marina listened to Emmett''s phone call, she sped her hand tightly.
''Emmett, you''re really thoughtful.''
''You put in so much effort for ine.''
''In your eyes, only ine is a treasure for you?''
''Is everyone else in your eyes is a waste of space?''
At the seaside vi, the servants had already taken their ces, waiting for the arrival of Emmett.
Emmett took the lead and walked into the house. He proudly pointed at a guest room downstairs.
"That''s your room. You''re not allowed to go upstairs."
Marina stayed in the living room.
She watched Emmett go upstairs.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Emmett entered his bedroom, closed the door, took off his clothes and took a bath.
After taking a bath, he rxed andy on the bed. He called ine.
He wondered how ine was in d.
...
It was only after a while that ine answered the phone. Emmett could hear the sound of the wind
through the phone.
It should be evening in d now.
"Hello?" ine replied in a muffled voice, sniffling.
"It''s me."
Emmett said proudly.
ine was surprised and immediately blushed. She smiled and nced Je beside her. She took a
few steps to the side before saying.
"Yes."
"What are you doing?"
Emmett could not help but put on a smile.
For some reason, as long as he heard ine''s cute voice, he would feel warm. Her voice was more
effective than a heater.
Emmett settled himself in a morefortable lying position. He held the phone and lookedzy.
"Oh, I am picking up shells at the beach with my desk-mate. We happened to see some fishermen
pullings, so we helped them."
Emmett''s face darkened. He began to feel distressed for her.
"The winds over the ocean blow wildly, and the temperature falls quickly in the evening. Why are you
foolishly helping them pull thes? Go back to the hotel as soon as possible! Don''t catch a cold!"
ine sniffed.
"It''s not very cold, but the sea wind is so strong that my ears are red in the wind. I''ll go back to the hotel
with some shells."
"Don''t pick up the shells anymore. If you like that, I''ll give you a house full of shells. Hurry up and go
back to the hotel. It''s dangerous by the sea at night!"
ine giggled, "It''s not dangerous. Don''t frighten me. There are many students ying outside!"
"I don''t care about them. You can''t y outside at night. Be good. Go back to your room and take a hot
bath as soon as possible to get yourself warm."
Emmett had never known that he could talk neen to the doze.
He was coaxing ine with patience and right methods as if coaxing a little girl.
"Ok, I''m going back to the hotel now. You''re babbling!"
ine pouted and patted Je on the shoulder. Then, she waved her hand in the direction of the
hotel, meaning that she went back now.
Je nodded, "You go back now. I''ll go back soon."
...
ine nodded towards Je and began to walk back.
"What did you do today?"
Emmett asked.
Actually, he knew what she had done. The bodyguards he sent out would report to him every half an
hour through the satellite transceiver.
"I didn''t do anything. I just see the view and choose the angle to draw."
"I discovered that other people are paintings better than me. After all, they are majoring in arts, so I
can''tpare with them."
"You don''t need topare with them. You don''t need to be so outstanding. If will be fine if you''re good
enough to graduate. You don''t need to make a living by painting."
"Yes, I need to make a living by painting."
"You don''t have to. Serve me well and I''ll pay you as much as you want. Isn''t being a full-time wife
more fulfilling than working?"
ine spat, "Full-time wife? I don''t want to do that. I want to be a white-cor worker!"
"Alright. You''ll be a white-cor worker who works night shifts, okay?"
"What? You''re such a terrible person. Bad man."
Emmettughed, "I''m not a bad man. Did I say something wrong? Your mind goes to wrong ces."
ine''s face turned red as Emmett teased her with dirty talk.
ine was lying on the bed of the hotel and talking to Emmett on the phone. Two hours had just flown
by. The cost of overseas calls was frighteningly high.
ine was sleepy as she talked. Before she fell asleep, she heard Emmett say in a low voice.
"Baby, I miss you."
"I love you very much."
ine fell asleep. She slept soundly and sweetly. In her sleep, there was a man who said to her in an
extremely gentle voice.
"I miss you...."
"I love you very much...."
It was very strange that Emmett''s engagement was ignored before it was officially reported.
Many people didn''t even know about Emmett''s engagement.
The next day, all the media were reporting that a certain star and an entrepreneur were having an
affair....
However, there would always be idents.
For example, Je, a civilian, happened to have a rich good friend.
And this good friend happened to attend Emmett''s engagement party....
...
"Get up, get up! ine, it''s time to get up!"
Je found ine''s furry head under the nket and sighed.
"You are active even when you''re sleeping. You can even get your whole body into the nket, like a
mole hiding in a hole."
"I can barely find where exactly you are. Hey, aren''t you afraid that you''ll die from asphyxiation?"
As she muttered to himself, Je went to open the curtains. Immediately, the charming sunlight shot
into the room.
Je turned around and looked at ine.
ine was actually still asleep with her head covered.
"Hey, I am really amazed by you. You could sleep very much! When I came back sotest night, you
had been asleep. Now you''re still sleeping."
Last night, Je yed poker with ssmates in another room until one o''clock in the morning.
When she entered the room, she saw that ine had fallen asleep.
And ine kicked off the nket.
Due to the fear of Miss Underground, Je had no choice but carefully tuck ine back in.
This morning, she woke up and didn''t see ine.
Later, Je looked around carefully and discovered that ine was still sleep on the bed. However,
ine waspletely hiding herself under the nket, and it was difficult to discover her.
Je looked at ine''s furry head and couldn''t help butugh.
Speaking of which, although ine was a member of an underground organization and lived in the
professor''s vi, she was easy-going.
ine was easy to get along with. She was nice and kind. She always kept a smile all day long.
Well, she was just like...
Je pondered.
''Oh! That''s right!''
''ine was like a Maitreya!''
Maitreya always kept grinning.
Je finally pulled ine out of the nket and shouted loudly.
"Hey, you can''t sleep anymore! Today is ourst day here. We are going to an uninhabited ind for
sketching!"
...
If we''rete, they would just leave us, and we won''t be able to see the fancy scenery of the uninhabited
ind.
"Get up! Hurry up, ine! "
ine closed her eyes and pouted. She sat on the bed and muttered.
"What time is it, Hazel?"
It broke Je down that ine thought herself was in the school dormitory!
"It''s half past seven!"
Je didn''t want to correct ine.
ine yawned and pouted. She shuffled to the bathroom.
Ten minutester, ine anxiously searched under the nket and finally found her mobile phone.
Her phone was pressed by her all night.
