At the same time, Emily tightened her grip on the key in her hand.
Burglary?
This was the first thought that came to her mind. All of a sudden, her heart thumped with fear.
No wonder she felt that something was wrong when she inserted the key just now. She never forgot locking the door when she left home, but today, the door was unlocked. Since the day Mr. Hogg gave her this apartment, she lived alone, so no one was supposed to appear here!
Emily carefully identified the sound, and made sure that it came from the kitchen.
She took a deep breath and grabbed the antique porcelain vases decorated on the shoe shelf. As she walked in lightly, she quietly took the phone out of her pocket.
Against the wall, she passed through the hall and approached the kitchen step by step.
After the line was connected, Emily lowered her voice and said, "Hello, someone is in my home..."
When she saw the tall and straight figure in the kitchen, she suddenly froze until she heard the operator urging her from the phone. She quickly replied awkwardly, "Sorry, everything is all right!"
It was not thieves who broke into the house, but Simon!
He was in a dark grey casual suit, and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up around his elbow, revealing his healthy and muscular forearms. At this time, he was standing in front of the kitchen table with his back to her. He was holding a spoon with his left hand, and ladled soup into it with his right hand holding a porcelain bowl. Although he wore an apron, he had no womanish manner. On the contrary, he was very masculine, with strong visual impact of a family man.
He might have heard the sound, so he stopped filling the bowl but turned around and noticed the vase in her hand with a composed expression. He looked so natural in here. "You're back."
"Why are you here?"
Emily swallowed hard in a daze and pointed at him with a comical smile.
When she came in just now, the door was closed, so he couldn't have levered the door open. Besides, she lived in upper floor, so he could not have come in through the window. “Simon, how could you get the key to my home?"
Hearing this, Simon lazily curled his lips. "Charlie gave it me."
The corners of Emily's mouth twitched.
She forgot that they were good friends...
Emily put down her sore hand, which held the vase for a long time. It was really a false alarm. She turned around and walked back to the hall. She put on her slippers and then walked over him again. Only then did she find that there was already four dishes and one soup on the table.
However, they were much better than what she had cooked before for the tantalizing aroma wafted towards her.
Twilight merged into total darkness, while the room was filled with the captivating smell of dishes. When she just came back, she was so nervous that she didn't smell it. At this time, looking at the dishes on the table, she felt a little dizzy, as if she really had a home...
Simon stroke off her hand, which stretched out to the plate with spoon. "Wash your hands!" "Oh!" Emily ached that she couldn't help bare her teeth. She followed his order while turned to look back the dishes on the table repeatedly at every step.
Finally, she could sit down and eat. She still doubted his cooking skill, after all, sometimes it might not be delicious when it looked good. However, the dishes on the table tasted so good that she almost burst into tears.
Emily's mouth was full of food, and she spoke like a squirrel. She looked at him with an exaggerated look and said, "Simon, were you a chef? How can these be so delicious!"
Not only did she say this out of politeness, but these dishes were really wonderful. She didn't expect that the man who was used to using cold scalpels could cook. It was unbelievable. In fact, when he said that he would cook last time, she didn't believe him.
A fascinating smile appeared on Simon's face, and he gazed at her meaningfully. "I told you. I am responsible for filling your stomach, and your work is make me happy."
Emily chocked.

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 😩...
