Emily didn't show up in the office until nine o'clock the next day.
Coming out of the elevator, she dragged her aching legs and walked in a trance all the way.
Seeing this, Tina ran over to her and said, "Emily, what took you so long? You are late for more than an hour. I'm sure that your wages will be docked!"
"Never mind..." Emily replied in a weak voice.
"Emily, are you okay?" Tina saw that her face was pale, so she asked with concern, "Why do you look so bad? Didn't you go to the classmate gathering last night? Did you get drunk and get robbed on the way back? Or did you get raped? If it really happened, we have to call the police!"
Emily ground her teeth. "Yes, I need to call the police!"
She should dial 911, and told them she got raped by her husband!
Originally, Tina was joking. However, upon hearing Emily's words, she instantly panicked. "No way. What happened?"
"No, I'm just joking. Don't worry!" Emily shook her head.
Last night, she couldn't even recall how many times they did. She only remembered that in pain and despair, she couldn't stand the strength and speed that his body moved until she passed out.
When she woke up the next morning, she was already in her own bed.
If it weren't for the kiss marks all over her body, she would almost suspect that she just had a nightmare last night.
At the thought of Simon, Emily truly gritted her teeth in hatred.
Today was her uncle's birthday, and since now she and her cousin Selena were in Ice city and they didn't have much time to go back, so they'd love to reunite. It was Saturday tomorrow, so they could stay at home for two more days.
In order to take the train to the town, Emily sacked out for an hour this afternoon, so it was inevitable that she was scolded for being late and leaving early. She took an insufferably glib attitude and dragged her legs to the train station.
Her aunt's house was not big, but since childhood, she and Selena lived in the biggest room.
After taking a train for more than two hours, Emily entered the door carrying many bags. Her aunt who wore an apron came out to greet her happily and said, "Emily! Come in, change your clothes and wash your hands. Meal is almost ready. Your uncle cooked today!"
"Really? Lucky me! Where's Selena? Didn't she come back this morning?" Emily asked with a smile.
"She's back. She's staying in her room on the phone!" Aunt pointed at the closed bedroom door and said with a frown, "I guess she gets a new boyfriend. She doesn't stop talking since she came in. Listen to her silly laughter!"
"She's in love again?" Emily was shocked.
However, she didn't expect that her cousin would fall in love with others so soon. She always felt that it hadn't been long since she broke up last time.
The aunt looked worried. "Yes! I'm really afraid that she will be like the last time. Emily, you'd better talk to her. Don't let her give up her studies!"
Emily nodded, knocked on the door and went in.
There were two single beds in the room. On the right one by the window, Selena was holding her chin and lying on the bed with her legs raised and her face was full of bashful tenderness.
She had the same expression every time she called Boyd.
Emily sat on the opposite side and seemed to be embarrassed by being stared at. Jiang Shanshan said that she would talk later and hung up the phone reluctantly. Then she threw a pillow at her and said, "Sister, can you stop looking?"
"Are you really in love?"
"Yeah!"

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 😩...
