Chapter 793
Noah rushed to the condominium where he and Emma shared their love nest at the fastest speed. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Emma crawling on the ground like a dog. Noah's eyes flashed as he walked over.
Emma raised her head and aggrievedly uttered, "Noah, save me."
It would have been fine if she did not say anything because as soon as she uttered those words, Stephanie stepped on her back, causing Emma to gasp in pain.
Feeling his heart ache, Noah wanted to reach out to help Emma, but Stephanie's eyes swept over as she looked at him with a half-smile, saying, "Noah, what's wrong? Is your heart aching for her?"
Retracting his gaze, Noah walked to Stephanie and replied gently, "Why would I? I'm just afraid you'll be tired. If you really don't want to see her, just let her leave Tayhaven. Why bother with her and tire yourself?"
"Are you worried that I'm tired, or do you feel sorry for your little lover who's being trampled under my feet? She admitted she has been with you for more than eight years. My, my. That sure is a long time." Stephanie's voice became sharp, and she sneered, "Noah, you're very good at pretending in front of me. You appear to be deeply in love with me, but you end up with other women behind me. Tell me, how are you worthy of my trust in you?"
Noah glared at Emma inconspicuously before coaxing the other woman, "Steph, I've been treating you wholeheartedly the moment I married you. She and I have already ended long ago. If you're outraged, you can ask people to beat me up, but don't be sulky because I fear something will happen to you. If that happens, I'll never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
Stephanie sneered as she stared at him with a smirk.
"Is that so? I thought you wanted something to happen to me sooner." Stephanie waved her hand and continued, "Unfortunately, I'll have to disappoint you, for I still have a long life to live. I'm very jealous and possessive. Since you married me, I'm the only woman you're allowed to have in your life. So today, whether you like it or not, you must choose between her and me."
Noah's expression froze, but he hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "Steph, I love you. Let's stop messing around. Come. Let me drive you home."
Stephanie pushed his hand away like a noble queen.
She glanced at the bodyguard standing behind her and ordered, "You, go cripple Ms. Garcia's right thumb."
As Noah and Emma heard that, their expressions changed.
Only then did Emma understand how unpredictable Stephanie was. The latter did whatever she felt like- even Noah had no power over her.
Emma understood that Noah was simply useless.
"Ms. Clinton, forgive me. Noah has never loved me at all. Before marrying you, he told me he had met a woman he wanted to take care of in his life. I was very jealous of any woman who could marry him, so I planned the scene that day for you to catch us in the act. I used my beauty to tempt him, but he was unmoved. Because of that, I learned he no longer has feelings for me anymore. He loves you deeply." Emma burst into tears and continued, "I no longer want his love. I'm destined to lose to you. You're too noble and perfect. I just want to return to my hometown and find an honest man to marry while I'm still young."
Letting out a snort, Stephanie stared at Emma's pathetic state in delight.
"What are you waiting for? Didn't I ask you to cripple her finger?" ordered Stephanie like a demon.
"Yes, miss." The bodyguard stepped forward, about to step on Emma's fingers.
Just then, Noah's eyes dimmed as he struggled internally. In the end, he pushed the bodyguard away and pulled Emma up.
As Stephanie witnessed that, her expression changed.
"What? Have you decided to protect this vixen?" asked Stephanie with a fake smile.
Noah's expression changed to a more gentle and affectionate one. Half-squatting in front of Stephanie, he stated, "I'm just afraid you'll get your hands dirty, Steph. You're pregnant. How could I let you do these dirty things?"
