The smile on Emily's face faded little by little, and she struggled to shake off Simon's big hand on her shoulder. She gritted her teeth and said, "Well, since you are full of affection and loyalty, I have nothing to say to you!"
Holding the suitcase in her hand, she was about to squeeze out of the door.
"I don't allow you to go!" Simon, remaining unmoved like a statue, blocked the door.
"You..." Emily pointed at him in anger.
There was a trace of gloom in Simon's peach blossom eyes. He seemed to have become angry and shouted in a deep voice, "I won't let you go, so you can't get out of this door today!"
"Aha, Young Master Chin, I didn't expect you to be so awesome!" Emily laughed mockingly. She raised her voice and deliberately asked him, "Why don't I live in a hotel too? Or, do you want me to apply for a restraining order, too?"
In fact, Simon did not really get angry with her—he just wanted to stop her from leaving. With a helpless look, he said, "Anyway, I won't let you go!"
Emily gritted her teeth and glared at him.
One of them was in the bedroom, and the other was outside. They were locked in a stalemate.
Emily tried to push him away but failed. The suitcase in her hand swung to one side and knocked the cabinet aside.
She just closed her suitcase but did not lock it up. So, all the things in it were scattered about in a mess on the ground after the hit. Also, hit by the impact, the vase on the cabinet also fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Seeing this, Simon quickly stepped forward and took her to the other side in time. He said in a soft voice, "You are very emotional now. I know it's my fault. But Mrs. Chin, think about the baby in your belly!"
As he spoke, his palm covered her belly.
Emily, feeling the warmth of his hand, was impressed.
She bit the corner of her lips. Though her face was a little dull, she loosened her tight grip, and the violent rise and fall of her chest became gentle.
Simon took the chance to hold her shoulders again and bent down to look at her with her charming eyes. In a low voice, he coaxed, "By the way, if you go back to the town so rashly, you'll make aunt and uncle worry about you, won't you?"
"..." Emily frowned.
Indeed, if she pulled the suitcase back so suddenly, they would worry about her. Even though she could try to hide the truth, they would make all sorts of guesses. Emily did not want them to worry about her...
Emily closed her eyes and helplessly pushed his big hand away. Instead of carrying her suitcase, she walked back to the big bed and sat down silently with her back to him.
Simon let out a sigh of relief when he saw her stop trying to go back to the town.
He picked up the suitcase on the ground and hung all her clothes back into the closet. Throughout the whole process, Emily did not stop him and did not even cast him a side glance.
After Simon cleaned up the mess, he took a cup of warm water from the dining room and put it on the bedside cupboard. However, Emily had no intention of paying any attention to him and even quickly avoided him when he approached her. Simon said, his Adam's apple moving slightly. "Emily, drink some water!"
"Get out..."
Emily lowered her eyes and uttered the two words in a low voice.
Simon remained silent for two seconds, then got up and walked out of the room.
When he closed the bedroom door, Emily shut her eyes, feeling weak. Her heart grew chill as if it had gradually sunk into the bottom of a lake.

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 😩...
