When they came to this gathering, Brock was worried that she would not accept his apology and felt a little nervous. He did not expect her to be so understanding. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Haha, that's good. Enjoy the food and drink tonight! If you want to, I'd like to invite you and Simon to a meal as an apology!"
"Okay!" Emily smiled.
After the rift between them was mended, the atmosphere in the private room became lively.
Although Simon drove here, it was impossible not to drink on such an occasion. So he also toasted others and chatted happily.
Only two people at the table were drinking drinks instead of wine. One was Emily, and the other was a man wearing glasses next to her. The man happened to the same person who sat next to her last time. She remembered that he had taken the initiative to talk to her last time.
This time, he also smiled at her and began talking about a common topic. "Mrs. Chin, have you been working recently?"
Emily smiled slightly, but she felt that something warm touched her belly.
She looked down. Under the table, Simon's big hand reached over from the side and covered her belly.
"She will be taking care of our baby at home!" In his deep voice, he answered for her.
"..." Emily helplessly put her hand on her forehead.
Well, yes. Anyway, their baby was coming!
She turned her head and saw Simon hold a red wine glass in his slender and jade-like hand. He had drunk a lot, and this was the third cup of wine. His peach blossom eyes became increasingly brighter, like sparkling stars in the dark night. His eyes were gazing lovingly into hers.
Emily curled up the corners of her mouth and put her hands on her knees on his big hand.
Just like last time, the man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. However, it seemed that this happy couple's affectionate move had made him jealous. He silently turned his face and talked to others instead.
The atmosphere was still very lively. The box was filled with the buzz of conversation and the clear clinks of the glasses.
Suddenly, someone said, "By the way, why didn't Addy come today?"
As Addy was mentioned, everyone was stunned a little and looked around to search for her.
Emily was also stunned. That was right. From the beginning to now, none of them had ever seen her. They had been studying in Newley City together and were close friends for many years.
Subconsciously, Brock turned to see Emily. When he was sure that she was not unhappy, he said slowly, "She is going to divorce soon, don't you know?"
Emily was stunned.
Like a tossed stone raising a thousand ripples, the news of her divorce provoked many discussions.
"Really? Don't spread fake news like this. How long has it been since she got married? I remember it was last month when I received the wedding candies from her!"
"Yes, it seems that she made a wedding trip to Moldaves. They flew directly there the day they got their marriage certificates. How romantic it was! There is also a wedding photo in the wedding candy box. Her husband seems to be a handsome gentleman. They are a perfect match!" • • •
All the people started to argue against Brock because they did not believe the news.
Emily frowned, and she also could not believe it. Not long ago, when she and Simon visited her in the hospital, they happened to see Simon, her husband, begging for her forgiveness with tears. He asked her for a chance to reform and promised that he would lead a good life with her in the future...
"I did not make it up. It's absolutely true!" Brock felt wronged and hurried to prove what he said was true. "Did you forget what my mother do? The law firm that she works in deals with divorce cases mainly. When I went to see my mother that day, I met her. She was handing in the materials and was ready to find a lawyer to draw up the divorce agreement for her! All of these were told by her personally. Can the news be false?"
All of a sudden, everyone was silent.

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 😩...
