The Sun Sets on Love novel Chapter 4

A large wedding photo hung on the wall.

Emily, dressed in a strapless wedding gown, was pressed closely against Jenson.

Their noses nearly touched as they gazed into each other's eyes. They looked every bit like a couple deeply in love.

Jenson hurried in from the living room. "Estie, you should rest in the guest room. Emily hasn't been feeling well, and this bedroom gets the best sunlight, so I thought it'd be better for her to stay here…"

Mid-sentence, his eyes landed on the wedding photo. He froze for a moment before continuing, "This was just to appease her family. They were pressuring her to get married."

So, their marriage certificate was just a favor, and the wedding photos were just for show.

Meeting Estella's cold gaze, Jenson felt a sudden panic rise within him and instinctively reached for her arm.

"Don't overthink it, Estie. I just—"

She stepped away. "Don't touch me."

This was the first time Estella had ever shown such resistance toward him in their six years together. Jenson's chest tightened.

He was about to explain when Emily suddenly rushed in and said in a trembling voice, "Ms. Hart, please don't fight with Jenson. It's my fault. I shouldn't have moved in. I'll leave right now."

Jenson immediately stopped her. "This has nothing to do with you."

Tears streamed down Emily's face at once.

"Jenson, you've already done so much for me. I can't let you upset Ms. Hart because of me. Maybe this is just my fate. Maybe I'm being punished for the mistakes I made in the past. I accept it."

Her tear-filled eyes and fragile voice struck Jenson hard.

Gently, he reassured her, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can force you into marriage. And Estie isn't upset over this. You don't have to go anywhere. Just stay."

Watching the scene before her, Estella let out a soft chuckle.

"Why should I be upset? After all, this is your home now."

With that, she turned and walked out.

Emily let out a delicate sob. "Is Ms. Hart angry?"

This time, Jenson didn't answer. Estella's words sent shockwaves through his mind. Without thinking, he rushed after her and grabbed her wrist.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean this is her home now? Emily's being forced into marriage and is being harassed by some stranger. I'm just trying to help her! You're a woman too. Can't you have a little empathy? Do you really have to throw a jealous tantrum at a time like this?"
