"Let's sleep..."
Emily felt her mind went blank.
"Oh, the bed feels hard!" Simon put his arms on the bed and crossed his long legs, looking casual under the dim light, "Emily, why are you so nervous? I just want you to come over to sleep. I am not doing anything to you!"
After a moment of hesitation, Emily gritted her teeth and walked over.
There was no choice for her...
Dressed well, Simon was merely sitting there, staring at her. And the environment in the room was normal without any romantic atmosphere, but Emily still felt inexplicably nervous.
She could not help swallowing her saliva every step she took.
Emily tried her best to stay calm and hide her emotions. After a few steps, she felt that it had taken her a lot of effort. Finally, she came to the head of the bed and silently sat at the end of the bed, leaning against the wall.
When they were eating, the middle-aged man warmed the bed forthem.
The bed didn't feel too uncomfortable as it was covered with a quilt. Instead, it was warm to sit on it.
Emily licked her lips and kept glancing at the side. She moved aside, trying to hide in the corner to distance herself from him. However, as soon as her back was against the wall, a shadow suddenly fell.
She raised her head in a panic and saw Simon's hand reaching for her. Then he suddenly grabbed one of her ankles.
Emily immediately cried out in a low voice, wanting to pull her ankle away, "Hey, what are you doing?!"
"Don't move!" Simon shouted and stopped her. His slender fingers had already untied the belt of her high heels. Then he said, "Let me check if your feet are sprained!"
"..." Emily bit her lip.
After entering this house, Emily didn't walk too much. Although her high heels were broken, they were still tied to her shoes, so she could manage to walk.
Simon took off her high heels and placed her ankle in his palm.
Seeing that Simon lowered his eyebrows and looked as serious as usual when he was treating patients, she didn't say anything. After a long while, Simon put down her ankle and said, "It looks fine. It might be
slightly twisted but not injured!"
Emily took a deep breath and hid her ankle under the dress.
After being silent for two seconds, she couldn't help saying, "Simon, I still feel that we can't sleep here.
It's inconvenient. Would it be better if I go and ask to see if there is any other place?"
"Why is it inconvenient?" Simon asked, knowing why.
They were not married anymore!
Emily pursed her lips and reminded him,"... I am engaged to Calvin!"
"I don't mind!" Simon raised his eyebrows. When she angrily glared at him, he raised his hand to touch his chin and said unhurriedly, "The old couple is already asleep, dare you to wake them!"
Emily was speechless.
She turned back and looked out of the door. It seemed that the lights in other rooms were off except for the light in this room.
They had just met the old couple, who kindly let them stay and treated them well, which made Emily feel improper to wake them up.
Under such circumstances, Emily sighed helplessly. At this moment, there was only regret left in her heart. If she could explain her relationship with Simon to the old couple at the first hand, she
wouldn't have to sleep in the same room with Simon.

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 😩...
