Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 50

Was that the reason why Emily didn't call him either? He had thought about it when he was driving home.

Why didn't anyone call him when he had stood up Emily and his parents at the same time?

He thought he would receive a bunch of missed calls from Emily but he could not have been more mistaken.

She didn't even send him a message to ask where he was.

He had completely forgotten about their plans the entire time she was waiting for him. It was his fault.

"It's good that you understand." Lynne stood up and shot Sam a pitiful look. "Son, you're an adult now. You don't need to talk to us about everything. You should know better. If you didn't call us to cancel, you probably didn't call that girl either. She must have waited for you for a long time. You owe her an apology."

Sam lowered his head, not saying a word.

"Okay." After a long pause, he raised his head. "I know, mom. You should go back to bed."

"Good night." Lynne turned and left. Sam withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to his phone—staring at all his failed calls. That night, he didn't sleep a wink.

The following day, Emily got up early. She decided she was going to get some exercise to keep her spirits up.

She donned her sportswear as she headed to the garden to do some yoga. She inhaled the morning breeze, feeling refreshed. As she did yoga, she watched the servants trim the trees and do the gardening in the courtyard.

"Miss, why are you up so early today?"

Emily seemed to be in a good mood, a complete swerve from how she was yesterday which was utterly miserable. Needless to say, Amy was confused.

"Mrs. Wang, it's good for me to get up early, isn't it?"

Emily bent down, smiling playfully. Her eyes were still a little swollen as she had cried way too much last night. She might need to apply an ice bag later on.

"Of course, miss. You seem to be in a good mood."

Amy continued to trim the flowers and plants with a smile on her face. Emily continued doing yoga, seemingly relaxed.

She bent over, attempting to do a difficult pose. Suddenly, a pair of black shoes came into her sight.

She frowned as she looked up. It was Sam. She almost lost her balance the minute she saw him.

He immediately reached out to support her.

"Watch out!"

His voice was unusually gentle which startled Emily. When she collected herself, she straightened up and pushed him away.

"What are you doing here?"

To be honest, she hadn't forgiven Sam yet so she really didn't want to see him.

She averted her gaze. She knew if she looked him in the eye, she wouldn't be able to control her emotions.

"I'm sorry,"

Sam blurted out. Emily knew why he was saying sorry but unfortunately, she wasn't ready to accept his apology just yet.

"Sorry for what?"

Emily brazenly stared him down.

"I was late yesterday." Guilt filled Sam's eyes.

Emily put on a knowing smile. "Oh, it's not that you were late. You didn't show up at all." Emily turned around and waved her hand. She made her way to the chair and sat down. "I don't need your apology."

"I'm sorry." Sam followed her. The fact that she was so calm made him feel even worse. "I'm apologizing to you. It was my fault."

He had never apologized so sincerely to anyone before. He already felt bad enough about what had happened. Seeing the look on Emily's face now didn't help with his guilt.

Emily grabbed the coffee on the table and casually took a sip.

Sam's eyes glinted as he watched her drink her coffee. How could it have slipped his mind that Emily was born to a rich family?

She had never done any household work in her entire life. Still, she was so different that he often forgot this fact about her.

She had always been graceful and noble but he never seemed to notice it until then.

"Okay, I forgive you." Emily raised her head and smiled sweetly. Acting as if nothing happened last night, she thought for a moment. Finally, she said, "Have a seat. You came here to apologize to me?"

Sam sat down across from Emily. He wasn't used to seeing her like this.

He realized he preferred if she just got mad at him. Her indifference only aggravated his guilt.

"I was afraid you'd be upset."

Emily suddenly froze. It didn't take long for her to recover as she called for the servant and asked for a cup of coffee for Sam.

Sam frowned, unable to relax.
