There was peace for a while. Then, one day, Anne and Kevin visited Sam. They brought flowers and fruits for him.
But when they entered his room, the bed was empty!
With a raised eyebrow, Anne stared at Kevin. "Have Sam and Emily reconciled?"
She still hadn't forgotten what happened that day at the hospital. Additionally, Emily hadn't contacted her lately.
Kevin gave a slight nod. "Well, I have no idea how many apologies Sam has to make for Emily to forgive him."
Anne nodded and wanted to ask another thing. However, the couple suddenly showed up. As such, she sealed her lips.
Emily assisted Sam as they approached Kevin and Anne. Sam was talking something to Emily with his head lowered, a gentle smile plastered on his face. Emily raised her head and smiled back.
The scene made the lovely couple look as if they came out of a beautiful painting.
Meanwhile, Anne and Kevin smiled as they looked at each other. Despite the conflict that happened between them, it was great that they reconciled at that time.
Then, Emily and Sam realized that they had company. With a slight frown, the former looked at Anne and lowered her head, as if to avoid eye contact.
With raised eyebrows, Anne stepped forward and smiled. "Congratulations on getting engaged."
Sam slowly shook his head and said in a serious tone, "Anne, that's not right. Emily and I are already married. It is only that the wedding is delayed because of my injury. I really feel sorry to her. I promise I will give her a luxurious wedding after I am discharged from the hospital."
He got confused when Emily lost her temper recently. Although he apologized several times, she didn't forgive him. In the end, he suggested that they file a marriage license first to appease her.
She was silent for a while. Then, with a nod, she nodded in agreement. It was only after getting the marriage certificate that Emily forgave him.
But whenever he asked why she was angry, Emily would act cold. As such, he still didn't know the reason for her anger.
Surprised, Anne gaped at Emily. The former smiled with narrowed eyes and said, "Well, congratulations to both of you. Don't forget to invite us to the wedding!"
Emily quietly looked at her and slightly frowned. However, she immediately relaxed her strained expression and slowly nodded. There were no more signs of their once intimate interaction anymore.
Kevin nodded as Anne looked back at him. A strange atmosphere radiated between the four of them. Since they had nothing but awkwardness, the two visitors decided to leave after a rather short stay.
While in the car, Anne frowned as she stared at Kevin in confusion. "Kevin, do you have any idea why Emily's in a bad mood? I already apologized for what happened last time. But I don't think she's mad because of that."
With a smile, Kevin gave a slight nod.
Emily felt a sting in her heart. Since she loved Sam so much, Kevin knew that Sam could address her fears. Only then would she return to normal.
However, some things shouldn't be rushed. If Anne got involved, it might only worsen the situation.
As such, they could only wait for Emily to calm down.
"Well, women always feel something wrong for a few days every month," Kevin said with a playful smile.
Anne looked at him and rolled her eyes.
Meanwhile, Emily was in the hospital. She had a slight smile as she peeled an apple for Sam. With a perplexed look, he asked her, "Emily, don't you and Anne get along well? Why were you acting cold towards her earlier?"
"Is that so? I didn't notice it. Maybe I was talking too much with you that I was too exhausted to speak with her." As she reasoned out, Emily unconsciously stopped peeling.
A helpless look painted Sam's face as he shook his head.
She resumed cutting the apple and placed them in front of him.
Earlier, he was the one who told Anne about them getting their marriage certificate. It was beyond Emily's expectations and satisfied her somewhat.
As such, regardless of their past, she was Sam's lawful wife.
Nothing could separate her from him anymore.
"Sam, I already told you that if you really want to marry me, always remember that I am the most important woman in your life." Emily carefully put an apple slice into his mouth with a toothpick. Then, she lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, "Since you promised me, don't forget it."
A confused expression clouded Sam's face as he couldn't do anything about it. Immediately, he embraced her and kissed her hair. "I thought everything clearly before deciding to marry you. You're the most important woman for me. That will never change!"
She smiled and slowly closed her eyes. Whether Sam was telling the truth or not, she promised to make it come true.
Anne and Kevin arrived at the Fu family's house. As they entered, they saw Rose playing with Sally. The couple looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
Although it had been some time that Rose acted like she had changed, it was still uneasy to see her smile so cordially again.
"Anne, welcome back!" she said when she noticed Anne and Kevin standing by the door. With Sally in her arms, she approached the couple. A look of admiration painted her face. "Anne, you're very lucky. Sally and Eddy are so adorable and cute!"
With a stiff smile, Anne gave a quick nod before heading upstairs.
