Emily shook her head and the hands on her back were clentched slightly. Then she said, "No... nothing!"
Simon's eyes narrowed slightly. Being one head taller than her, he looked up and down at her. Then he pinched her chin in an instant, forcing her face to be lifted up so that he could look at her carefully.
Emily pushed away his slender hand, turned her face away, and said deliberately, "I'm hungry. I've been tortured by you all night. Aren't you going to give me food?"
Hearing this, Simon smiled evilly. "Of course I'll feed you!"
Then, he put on a pair of long pants and went to the kitchen.
As the range hood buzzed, Emily returned to the bedroom. His wallet had been put on the bedside table. She went to the end of the bed and sat down. Her hands and feet were inexplicably cold so she put her hands together, but it seemed to be of no help.
She lowered her head and was absentminded. The sunlight from the window was shining brightly but it could not warm her heart.
Emily suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the bedside table. She opened the bottom drawer and opened the iron box that she hadn't touched for a long time. The white small medicine bottle was still lying there quietly. She poured out two pills and swallowed them directly into her throat.
"Mrs. Chin, it's time for dinner!"
Simon's deep voice came from the dining room.
When she heard the sarcastic call, she felt so sad.
There was already rice porridge and fried vegetables on the dining table. She went to the refrigerator and took out a can of iced coffee. The cold feeling extended from her throat to her stomach, making her teeth tremble and her mind clear a lot.
After she sat down and took a few sips of the porridge, Simon put down his chopsticks and extended his hand towards her from the opposite side.
He pinched her chin and looked left and right at her face. It seemed that he wanted to find something out. Emily unnaturally opened her mouth and said, "What are you doing? Don't mess with me. I'm eating!"
However, Simon still pinched her chin tightly.
His eyes narrowed and said with no doubt but a certainty, "Emily, you have something on your mind!"
She always ate voraciously regardless of the image of being a lady. But now she took the spoon to eat the porridge slowly.
Emily was seen through, so she had to find a reason to explain away. "Nothing. It's just that I'm a little dizzy after over-indulging in sex!"
Sure enough, when Simon heard this reason, he took his hand back, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
After taking two bites of the crisp cucumbers, Emily hesitated for two seconds and then casually said, "Simon, I think your wallet looks nice, but it seems a little old. You haven't changed it for many years?"
"Hmm, it's been over ten years!" Simon muttered.
"Oh..." Emily nodded. Holding the spoon in her hand tightly, she asked tentatively, "Then why don't you change it?"
Simon was drinking porridge with his head down, so she did not see the look in his eyes clearly. She only heard him faintly saying, "I'm used to it."
Upon hearing this, Emily was upset and felt that the rice porridge in her mouth was very bitter.
She swallowed hard, and suddenly felt a burst of discomfort in her stomach. The spoon in her hand fell into the bowl.

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 😩...
