When they registered at the City Hall?
How could he remember such a trivial detail?
Emily looked at him intently, and she subconsciously raised her hand to touch his. She held it gently and murmured, "Simon..."
When Simon saw this, he looked over teasingly. "What, you want to make out here?"
"No!"
He didn't even have the grace to look unnatural when he flirted with her...
Emily's face flushed scarlet. Realizing that she was holding his hand, she quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been burned. She cleared her throat and said, "I want to say, you're very tired. Let me drive. I'm more familiar with this town than you, and I can find a hotel immediately!"
"No. We'll return to Ice city." Simon grabbed her hand.
"We go back?" Emily was surprised.
Simon nodded, looking forward attentively. "Well, I have to work on morning."
Upon hearing this, Emily replied with an "oh" and did not say anything more.
Because of the night, the road back to Ice city was quieter. They didn't see many cars along the way home. The black Cayenne was running at a constant speed as if there were only the two of them in the whole world.
Unlike the day, all paths grew dark at night, so they drove slowly.
Emily was playing games on her seat, but gradually she fell asleep with her head against the window. It was not until the Cayenne was finally stopped and the handbrake was pulled up that she was awakened.
"Have we arrived?"
Simon smiled. "Mm."
Emily yawned and looked out of the window. To her surprise, it was a strange place, not her own house. She suddenly asked in surprise, "Where are we? Aren't we going home?"
It didn't look like a hotel, but a modern apartment near the river. She had been here for an interview before. Although it was not comparable to some wealthy suburbs, apartments in this area cost a fortune, which totally beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Simon unfastened her seat belt and said,
"Come with me!"
Emily rubbed her eyes sleepily and followed him out of the car.
A man in a suit stood at the door of the building. When they approached, he greeted respectfully, "Young Master Chin!"
Then, he sent them all the way to the elevator and said evenly, "As you said, the apartment has been fully redecorated and you can move in now. These are the keys you requested!"
"Mn." Simon took the keys.
After the man completed his mission, he nodded mechanically and left. The doors of the elevator slowly closed in front of them.
Emily was still confused. Looking at the number of the elevator climbing, she didn't understand why Simon didn't go home to sleep at night but take her here. "Where are we?"

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 😩...
