Simon took a glance at her face. "Is it convenient for you?"
"Yes. It just happens that there's an empty seat in the car. If you don't mind, you can go with us!" Calvin smiled heartily.
As a soldier, serving the people was almost his ingrained consciousness. In this case, he should help his compatriot. He regarded it as his duty.
Simon said, "Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
Calvin said, "Never mind!"
Finally, the four left in the jeep.
Calvin drove the car, and Emily sat next to him. Misha, his friend and Simon sat in the back.
They were silent all the way and pop songs came from the car player.
People in the back seats were quieter. That friend had already put his arms around his shoulders and fell asleep. Misha was playing with her mobile phone. Occasionally, she glanced at Simon, and then secretly looked away.
Emily looked at the highway ahead as if it had no end.
"Are you sleepy?"
Calvin turned his head to look at her and asked with concern.
"No!" Emily shook her head and looked at him. The car had been driving for three hours on the road. She took the chance to ask, "How about you? Are you tired of driving?"
Calvin said in a gentle voice, "I'm not tired!"
After glancing at the straight road in front of the car, he stared at her face and said in a gentle tone, "I don't feel tired with you around!"
Calvin rarely said the words of love, especially on such an occasion. Emily licked her lips and was somewhat at a loss.
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from behind. "Can I smoke?"
Calvin looked at her and saw that she didn't mind it. Then he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Emily looked up at the rearview mirror and saw Simon taking out a cigarette box from his pocket. He took out a cigarette from the box and put it in his mouth. As he turned on the lighter, he lowered the window.
A voice came from beside her again. Calvin looked at her with a smile. "It's rare for me to take a week's leave this time. There are still a few days left. We haven't had a date for a long time. We can take the chance to have fun nearby! Emily, what do you think?"
Emily subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror again.
Simon turned his head to the window, only showing half of his face.
With a cigarette in his hand, white smoke rose, diffusing in the wind outside the window. His eyelids lowered and he focused on smoking there. It seemed that he didn't hear their conversation at all. Emily couldn't see his expression clearly.
After a long time, Emily nodded and said, "Okay..."
After driving for about 40 minutes, the car slowed down. There was a big sign in front of them, indicating the entrance.
Calvin looked up at the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Chin, which hotel do you live in? We're entering the city ahead. I'll drive you there!"
"There's no need. I'll get out of the car on the right side of the viaduct. I'll take a taxi myself!" Simon turned his head, crushed the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it out. Then he slowly closed the window.
"Well, I'll stop after the red light!" Calvin did not insist it.

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 😩...
