Billionaire's Stubborn Slave Wife novel Chapter 157

"Lauren. can I do it here?"

With a smile on her face, Emily pointed to the chair next to Lauren.

Lauren nodded her head. And did not leave too much attention on Emily's body, his eyes stayed on the lotus flower blooming in the pool.

"Lauren, all this time I've been wanting to find a chance to have a good chat with you, but I really don't have such an opportunity, and today I finally have the time to ask you. Do you have any misunderstanding about me ah? I recently felt that you look at me in the eyes. Filled with a lot of strange feelings."

Lauren calmly put down the cup in her hand, then raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Emily.

"Emily. have you ever done anything to make me misunderstand you?"

Emily shook her head.

"Of course not. You're my best friend, I wouldn't do something wrong to you. lauren, maybe you saw today's newspaper, but I have to tell you, what was in the paper, wasn't my intention. I didn't want to be with Matthew and deprive you of the happiness that was meant for you."

Lauren nodded, keeping a bemused smile on her face.

"Emily, for what was in the newspaper today, I also saw it, in fact I really didn't expect it. The media would say so much about the relationship between you and Matthew, but the pursuit of happiness is everyone's right. If you really like Matthew, you can completely let go and choose your own happiness. Don't worry, no matter what time it is, as long as the two of you are in love, I will not be a threat between you and him."

These words of Lauren were somewhat out of Emily's expectation. She originally thought that, when she saw the content on the newspaper, Lauren would lose her mind and do something crazy.

Lauren's reaction, once again, ruined Emily's plan.

"Lauren, your diamond necklace is beautiful, Matthew must have given it to you, right?"

Emily's sharp eyes noticed that Lauren's neck had an extra necklace that she had never seen before.

"Is it strange that he gave it to me, only in exchange for my kiss?"

Lauren's face turned red all of a sudden at the origin of the necklace, she couldn't forget what a passionate kiss Matthew had just brought to her. A kiss that almost made her blood flow backwards.

"Are you saying that he gave you this necklace after you kissed him?"

I don't know why, when I heard Lauren talk about this matter, Emily's heart. It actually produces even her own a little unexpected jealousy.

This realization made her face pale. Had she really fallen in love with Matthew, with the man from whom she was stealing the token?

"Emily, are you okay? Did something come to mind?"

The sudden change in Emily's face took Lauren by surprise. For this good friend whom she hadn't seen for several years, her heart had been unable to guess what she was really thinking inside, especially since Emily was still a woman who didn't show anything on her face.

"I'm fine, Lauren, get your own tan, I'm going to go upstairs and read the paperwork."

Not daring to look up, afraid that Lauren might guess what was inside her, Emily ran towards her room without looking back.

Back in her room, Emily buried herself under the covers, but in her mind, she kept thinking of Matthew's figure.

Oh my God. This man is only the object of the task that his grandfather has given him to complete. Why does he keep surfacing in his mind, the man he loves is not Asahi? Why is the figure of Asahi now, in his own mind, more and more blurred.

Emily blushes in horror, unable to believe that she really has a crush on Matthew... Oh my God, Emily, what the hell are you doing?

Matthew is your friend's man, do you really want to do something wrong to Lauren?

The more Emily thought about it, the more her head hurt, and she knew that she needed time now. Sort out her feelings and then decide what she wants to do next.

Emily went into the bathroom and turned on the cold water switch to wake herself up, only then could she determine what to do next?

Just out of the bathroom, before her head was cleaned, Emily heard a knock on the door.

She hurriedly pulled on her robe. Opened the door of the room. Seeing Lauren standing right in her doorway.

"Lauren, what did you want to see me about?"

Without knowing what she was going to do, Emily was unsure of how she was going to face Lauren, the woman who had always considered her a friend.

"Emily, you dropped your stuff, and I am bringing it back to you."

Lauren raised the object in her hand.

When she saw what Lauren was holding, Emily turned pale with fear. She couldn't help but blame herself for her carelessness in taking what her grandfather had given her.

It was left outside. Luckily it was Lauren who found it, she really dared not imagine. If the person who picked up the bag was Matthew, what kind of things she would face.

"Emily, is this package very important to you? Why are you so nervous?"

The change on Emily's face made Lauren realize that the package, for her, must have had extraordinary significance.

"This was left to me by my grandfather when he was leaving, and it contains some of my grandmother's belongings. I was told to take good care of it, but I didn't expect that I would be so careless. lauren, thank you. If you hadn't picked it up,... If grandpa knew that I lost it, grandpa would have blamed me."

Lauren shook her head and smiled at Emily.

"It just happened to fall at my feet, so I brought it to you. Well, I'll go to my room and rest, I have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Lauren turned around and walked towards her room.

Emily, who had closed the door to her room, hurriedly took off the robe she was wearing and changed into a set of home clothes, then took the things her grandfather had given her and headed for the kitchen.

"Miss. Shangguan. are you hungry, I can make some pastries for you."

When she saw Emily walk into the kitchen, Wang's mother was a little nervous, after all, Matthew had confided that he would take care of Emily.

"Wang Ma, you don't have to be so nervous. I am not a tiger. Will not eat you up, you are so nervous every time you see me. I just want to learn some soup making skills from you. Then make soup for my grandfather to drink. Give his old man a surprise."

With a natural expression, Emily stated her purpose.

When she saw the hot boiling soup, her face, a smile appeared.

"Wang Ma, are you making soup for Matthew? It smells so good?"

"Yes, it's a soup specially made for the young master, with some tonic herbs in it. Recently, the young master has been very busy with his work. The body is also very weak, so I plan to give him a good tonic, has been boiling all afternoon, immediately can be served to the young master to drink."

Emily nodded her head.

"Wang Ma, can you bake some cookies for me to eat? I'm really feeling a little hungry right now, so don't worry, I'll watch this pot of soup for you."

Wang's mother nodded without any doubt and turned around to bake cookies for Emily.

"Ouch."

Wang's mother had just turned around when she heard Emily let out a cry of pain, and she hurriedly turned around to see Emily's right hand, which was red and swollen.

"Oh my God, Miss. Shangguan, what's wrong with you? It must be very painful, right?"
