Simon handed her a spoon. "After breakfast, let's go back to Ice city!"
"Okay!" Emily nodded.
In the morning light, she didn't realize that she acted like a submissive wife.
Halfway through, Simon got up, went to the window, and answered the phone. Emily swallowed the food in her mouth and pulled her cousin, who was drinking milk, and said, "Selena, what time did you guys leave? Why didn't you wake me?"
Selena rolled her eyes and said, "How? You really slept like the dead!"
Emily's lips twitched.
She was too exhausted last night, otherwise, she would have known when they had left.
She frowned slightly and wondered aloud, "How did you come to see my parents so early in the morning?"
"Simon asked!" Selena said with a shrug.
"..." Emily was astonished.
Selena was chewing on the bread. She archly blinked her eyes and said, "Besides, he told my parents that he would take good care of you, so your parents may rest in peace!"
Now she was all tenderness.
She turned her head and couldn't help but look at the tall figure who answered the phone in front of the window. His profile was so charming, which made her lost in thought for a long time.
After breakfast, her aunt, uncle and cousin saw them off. The black Cayenne drove away.
Her chief editor was quite reasonable this time. Knowing that her family had gotten into trouble, he advanced her three months' salary. Moreover, when she said that she might be several hours late at work, he readily agreed.
Since they came out of the town, they drove on an empty highway.
On their way back to Ice City, Simon was focused on driving. Emily, who sat in the passenger seat, played games with her mobile phone. When she put down the phone and looked up, the Cayenne had driven into the city, and she saw bustling streets.
She turned her head and looked to the side. They didn't speak much along the way, but neither of them felt awkward or uncomfortable. She didn't know when they started to get along with each other as naturally as an old married couple...
At half past nine in the morning, the traffic was slow, and they stopped at the office building soon.
Emily quickly unfastened her seat belt, pushed open the door and ran into the building.
Before she could make it, she heard Simon's voice. "Wait a minute, you left something behind!"
"What?" Emily turned around in confusion.
He had gotten off the car and strode to her.
She was puzzling, while he suddenly reached out his hands to cup her face, then he bent to kiss her. He didn't end it soon, instead, he gave her a sweet French kiss like every time they shared in bed.
The moment she sensed his tongue, there was only one thought in Emily's mind.
D*mn... They were at the TV station's entrance!
Unlike other jobs, a reporter got more time at his disposal. They often carried equipment out for interviewing, so a lot of her colleagues came in and out at this time. She didn't expect that they went public in this way. She had seen her colleagues stopping and watching.
Emily struggled for a long time, but it didn't work at all.

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 😩...
