Along the way, the car windows were open, and the evening wind blew so fiercely that Emily nearly couldn't open her eyes. With the passing street view, her eyes couldn't focus on anything.
Her mind was in a mess, and it was as if something was rushing up in her chest. She tried to suppress it.
She took the change from the driver and took a deep breath. When she wandered to the apartment building absentmindedly, she suddenly stopped, as if she had been struck by lightning. She was shocked on the spot.
"Emily!"
A gentle voice came with a smile.
Standing at the door was Calvin, who was carrying a suitcase. He changed into a suit and looked different from which he usually looked in military uniform. Now he was more like a rich and noble young heir to a rich family.
Emily looked at him in disbelief. She was a little dumbfounded. "Calvin, why are you..."
"Are you scared again?" Calvin stepped forward to welcome her with a smile.
Emily was really scared. She was shocked by her fiance who suddenly appeared in front of her. It took her a long time to recover from her surprise. "Calvin, when did you come back? Why did you return to Ice city? Didn't you say that your dispatch period was not over and that you were not allowed to leave Country S temporarily?"
After listening to her, Calvin asked with a smile, "You asked so many questions in one breath. Which one should I answer?"
Emily frowned, still in a daze.
In Anthea's dormitory upstairs, the suitcase was temporarily placed in the porch. Calvin and Emily were sitting side by side on the sofa.
Anthea came over in her slippers. She put a cup of tea in front of him and said, "Mr. Desmond, right? Please, have some water. It's must be a long flight!"
"Thank you!" Calvin replied politely.
"You're welcome. I'll leave the room for you two!" After saying that, Anthea ran back to the bedroom quickly, but she turned around several times during the process. Her eyes were full of surprise, curiosity, and appraisal.
Only the two were left in the living room. Emily was still puzzled by her fiance's return. "Calvin, what's going on?" "I asked for a leave!" Calvin answered.
"Ask for leave?" Emily was surprised. Then she said a little anxiously, "Didn't you say that you can't leave Country S? If you leave like this, how can you be promoted?"
"Don't worry. Listen to me first!" Calvin reached out and held her hands gently, with a gentle look in his eyes. "I did take a leave, and it won't affect my promotion, because I made a marriage report this time."
"What did you say?" Emily was shocked.
She even forgot to swallow her saliva and widened her eyes.
Seeing this, Calvin immediately said, "I'm sorry, Emily. I seem to have made my own decisions. I didn't ask for your opinion in advance, nor did I consult with you. Will you think that I'm too hasty?"
"I..." Emily opened her mouth.
In fact, she really didn't know what to say.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
