Emily spotted it with her sharp eyes and quickly stepped forward to pick it up.
As an experienced woman who had been married for four years, she immediately found out what it was.
For some reason, Adam who met them at the entrance of the alley flashed across Emily's mind. She inexplicably associated her with Adam, and then shook her head hard. "How is it possible?"
By the time Anthea reacted, it was too late. Emily deliberately held it in her hand and looked at it carefully while teasingly saying, "Oh, did you meet simple and honest people abroad?"
"Stop teasing me!" Anthea was so embarrassed that she rushed forward to grab it and put it back in her bag. Then she counterattacked, "Tell me the truth first. What's the relationship between you and Dr. Chin? I only know that Boyd had found a rich woman and betrayed you, but I don't know that you get a alarmingly handsome guy!"
Emily pursed her lips. She also briefly told her about her experience in the past four years and her next plans as she said to her best friend Wendy, who had just returned from abroad.
After hearing this, Anthea's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god, Emily, you're having a really wonderful life! In the past four years, you've not only gotten married, but also divorced. I'm so envious of you!"
Emily sighed with profound resignation. "I don't see why you're envious. Are you jealous that I'm divorced?"
They laughed and chatted for a while. Anthea came forward and sat closer to her. She gently took Emily's hand. "Emily, do you want to start afresh after leaving Ice city?"
"Well, and I..." Emily nodded, then she bit her lip and whispered in her ear.
"Really?" Anthea was even more surprised than before.
"Yes!" Emily nodded again.
She thought that Anthea would be like Wendy and Tina, comforting her or asking her what to do, but she didn't say anything.
Anthea put her hand on Emily's lower abdomen. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Emily, I support your decision. It's a fate for every child to come to this world. You must cherish it. Otherwise, you'll regret it when you lose the child..."
Hearing her trembling voice, Emily couldn't help raising her head.
Her long, fine hair was swept back in a ponytail. Anthea's stared into space out of those bright eyes. Warm sunshine gently touched her face, but he turned as pale as death.
Emily asked with concern, "Anthea, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Anthea returned to earth with a smile.
Four years might not be enough to change a person's appearance and personality, but either Wendy or Anthea had gone through a lot of things.
After saying goodbye to Anthea's mother, Anthea walked her out of the building from the top floor.
The black Cayenne was still parked there. Through the window, they could vaguely see the handsome silhouette sitting on the driver's seat.
When they got to the front of the car, Emily stopped and heard Anthea ask, "Emily, when are you going back to Ice city?"
"Tomorrow morning, what about you?" She asked back.

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 😩...
