"It was broken?"
Emily's eyes were wide open, and she exclaimed, "Why was it broken all of a moment?"
Simon frowned slightly and answered, "I don't know. The lock has been stuck and it can't move. The lock cylinder must have been rusty after so many years!" "Then what should we do?" Emily seemed to be confused. She said anxiously, "If the door can't open, how can I watch the sunrise if I can't get out of here?"
"You cannot but cancel it." Simon twitched his lips.
"What about looking for a locksmith to unlock the door?" Emily thought for a moment and asked.
Simon glanced at the clock on the wall and rejected without further ado. "What time is it now? No one is working at this time!"
Emily put her hand on her cheek, seeming to be thinking. Then she turned to look at the window and said, "Well, what about jumping out of the window? This is the second floor. It should not be a big problem, right?"
Hearing this, Simon suddenly pulled a long face, and he scolded, "Do you think you are a martial art master? Second floor is too high to jump. The height of each floor is bigger than usual buildings. Even if you don't break your legs, you will twist your feet!"
"Oh..." Emily frowned helplessly.
After a pause, she turned her eyes to look at him again. It looked like she had inadvertently squinted her eyes and asked, "Simon, you didn't break it on purpose, did you?"
"Of course not!" Simon's little trick was seen through.
Emily looked at his sharp reaction, blinked her eyes, and said, "I'm just asking. Why are you getting so nervous?"
"I'm not!" Simon held his fist against his lips, and the look on his face was very unnatural. It seemed that he also felt that his reaction was too obvious. His eyes slid out of focus and he said, "I'm sleepy. I'm going back to my room to sleep!"
After saying so, he turned around and walked to the guest room. He seemed to be running away.
"Be careful of the doorframe!"
Emily gave him a friendly reminder from behind.
However, it was still too late. Simon's calf still crashed into the doorframe, emitting quite a bit of a thud. He sucked in a cold breath, endured the pain and did not show anything. He dragged his injured leg and entered the room.
How could he say that he wasn't jealous!
Go on! Go on acting!
Emily couldn't hold back laughing any more and burst into laughter.
In fact, there was no such thing as a seeing the sunrise. She and Tyler were not even real colleagues at the moment. They didn't even have a phone number to contact each other. She was just tricking him and wanted to see him being jealous.
Taking off the scarf around her neck, Emily turned around and walked back to the bedroom. She was wearing pajamas inside her coat. She took off her coat and lay on her bed. She then yawned and fell into sleep .
Simon opened the door in the evening.
Inside the room, he could see faint glow of the setting sun streaming in from the living room, accompanied by faint sounds of conversation.
There are guests at home...
Simon immediately frowned. Is it the primary school teacher again? How dare she take that guy home!

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 😩...
