Stunned, Emily raised her head and saw a tall and straight figure standing in front of the tombstones.
He scarcely dressed in all black, instead of his favorite gray charcoal and even the shirt inside the windbreaker was black. His trousers were stiff. He was looking correctly grave as he set his jaw grimly and waited in silence.
Emily swallowed hard. This man was dazzling no matter where he was.
Hearing Selena's voice, Simon, whose eyes fixed on the tombstones, slightly turned and looked at her face from a few steps away.
"You..."
Emily had a heart of stone. She walked over slowly and asked, "When did you come?"
Simon put one hand in his pocket and replied lazily. "It's been a while!"
Emily noticed that two bunches of fresh lilies were placed in front of her parents' gravestones. A slight breeze rose in the mountain, wafting the delicate fragrance of flowers past her, mixed with the masculine scent of his body.
She turned back and looked at the two elders who were walking towards her quickly. She bit her lips and said, "Simon, you don't have to come all the way here..."
In the past, when they were married, he should visit her parents. But now that they had divorced, it was no longer his responsibility and had nothing to do with him.
"I've promised you!" Simon suddenly said.
"What?" Emily was confused.
Simon smiled faintly with a distant look in his eyes. "I'll visit your mom and dad with you on memorial days."
"..." Emily instantly clenched her fists.
That was a long time ago. If he didn't mention it, she almost forget that day. When she accompanied him to the cemetery to visit his mother for the first time, he asked about her parents' death day. She told him that it had passed, and then he made such a promise...
While the memories consumed her, her aunt and uncle had already come close to them. "Simon!"
Simon took out the hand in his pocket. As usual, he smiled and said politely, "Aunt, uncle!"
"Look! Dear, I told you that Simon would never let us down. No matter how busy he is, he will come eventually!" Aunt grinned from ear to ear and asked with concern, "Simon, did you drive here early in the morning?"
"Mn." Simon's lips curled up.
Hearing this, aunt was moved even more. "You must be very tired! You are working under extreme pressure in the hospital, and you couldn't have a good rest last night. When we finish, you can take a rest at home!"
"Okay!" Simon smiled and nodded.
After more than an hour, they came home by the black Cayenne, instead of hailing a taxi again.
When everyone changed their slippers at home, Emily slowed down and gently pulled Simon's sleeve before others saw them. She lowered her voice and said, "Simon, that... I haven't them we divorced!"
Hearing this, Simon raised his eyebrows slightly. "That's nice!"
He could guess it from the reaction of the two elders.
Emily's lips pursed slightly. She was somewhat unsure of his emotions. However, when she raised her head and was about to ask if it would trouble him, she caught a hint of pleasure in his beautiful eyes as if he was in a good mood.

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 😩...
