My Doting Husband novel Chapter 57

Before Lewis knew exactly what was going on, Harrell's voice came from behind him, “Emma, if you are available, can you walk with me? I haven't been back for at least two years. I heard that a large magnificent bridge has been built on the Guyou River nearby, and I have always wanted to see it.”

Go to the bridge in winter to feel the north wind? Emma knew it was an excuse and he must have something to say to her

Emma turned around and looked at the familiar and gentle face of Harrell. Feeling guilty, she dared not refuse......

Emma went upstairs to change a dress and followed him out of the door.

Sending them to the door, Maggie looked at Harrell and Emma walked out together, she then closed the door and smiled at Lewis, “You are right, Miss Emma and Harrel are matched. When they stand together, it is enviable.”

Because she knew that his reputation was ruined for this case.

In other words, it was Emma who ruined his bright future. She could not return the favor.

Harrell took his hand out of his coat pocket, grasped Emma's wrist, pulled her to the position beside him, and released his hand.

He looked at her with a smile. “I don't like people walking behind me.”

Emma took a deep breath, looked up and looked straight at him, “Lawyer Harrel, thank you for helping me save Marshall's life, save him from the death penalty into a fixed-term imprisonment. But I was younger then, and I really didn't expect it would turn out like this, and make you...”
