The heavy sound of slamming the door seemed to still be resonating in the dinning room.
The second Emily turned around, Simon had already let go of the person in his arms. His lips also. And the romantic affection in his beautiful eyes disappeared instantly, leaving only deep darkness.
Without feeling the warm touch on her neck, Connie felt a sense of loss. She was still looking at his thin lips, unwilling to look away.
Simon's invitation after the meeting in the afternoon made her so happy. Although on the way to his home he had told her in advance that he only needed her to put on a show for him, it was enough to make her elated.
There were only the two of them in the dinning room. The blush on Connie's face had not faded.
She didn't want it to end like this. She couldn't help holding his big hand again and said in sweet voice, "Dr. Chin, your ex-wife has gone, can we continue..."
Before she could finish talking, Simon shock her hand off and said, "No, you can leave too!"
Connie still wanted to say something, but he had already got up and walked into the bedroom
indifferently.
The sound of door being closed came again and the only thing left in the room was silence.
The sunshine outside faded away as time went by. As night fell, lights were gradually lit up in the distant residential building. The whole community was quiet, and sounds of cars could be heard occasionally.
Simon sat at the foot of the bed. His sight fell on the opened suitcase.
He gave a glance to the night outside, and then bitterly twitched his lips. Maybe he should mail her things back to her.
Judging from her running away in anger, Emily must have been on the long distance bus at this moment. If nothing went wrong, Emily could board the train to the capital of the area the same night, and she could take a flight back to Ice city tomorrow...
This is what he wants, isn't it?
Simon took out the cigarette case from his pocket and picked up a cigarette and lit it.
White smoke came out from his mouth and nose, and the corners of his mouth were curved, which slowly spread out in a bleak and lonely way.
No one knew how heartrending it had been when he had had to let her go, nor how hard it had been for him to drive her away.
One cigarette after another, he seemed to want to numb himself.
The light wasn't on in the room. Simon was sitting in the darkness, with his eyes looking at the ground. When he picked up another cigarette from the cigarette box, put it in his mouth, lit it up, and was about puff hard, someone suddenly reached out and snatched his cigarette away.
"Stop it!"
Emily put the cigarette out in the ashtray and said with a frown, "There is Nicotine in cigarettes. You should avoid these substances now! Your should be aware of those factors that could make the disease worse!"
After learning about what had happened to him from Anthea, she had searched a lot about the disease.
Simon looked at her in surprise.
Originally, he thought she had left. He didn't expect her to come back!
For a moment, Simon's pupils constricted. He looked at her blankly with no reaction. He was in contradiction. He was glad that she stayed but wanted her to leave.
He remained silent for a while, and then his Adam's apple bobbed. "Emily, why are you back?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
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 😩...
