Emily pulled out a chair. As soon as she sat down a bowl of soup was handed to her.
Because he considerately put a lid on it, the soup was still steaming slightly. Her bowl was also warm. She took the spoon and took a sip. Simon on the opposite side was doing the same. A brilliant shaft of sunlight burst through the window, roving through their side faces.
If they didn't divorce, she would have mistakenly thought that the good time was still rolling on.
After swallowing the soup in her mouth, Emily frowned and asked, "Simon, you won't stay here tonight, will you?"
However, he was holding the bowl while saying. "I can't let auntie and uncle down if they invite me!"
"What are you talking about?" Her aunt heard their whispers when she went to the kitchen to garb some fruits.
"Nothing important..."
As soon as Emily about to say something, she was interrupted by Simon, "Emily asked me whether I would stay here tonight!"
"Yes, that goes without saying!" Hearing this, her aunt immediately looked at her niece with some displeasure. "Emily, you want to go back to Ice city tomorrow morning, don't you? Simon can leave with you. I have asked him in the morning, he is off today and tomorrow!"
"..." Emily gritted her teeth. "You win!"
In the afternoon, the black Cayenne drove out of the old residential district.
Unlike a city, where they could see heavy traffic on the streets, huge crowds of people. The town was very quiet. The car was running smoothly. Emily pulled the seat belt on her body and kept gazing front.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Simon, put one hand on the wheel. A barely perceptible smile touched the corners of his mouth.
She was dragged out of the house by her cousin, Selena, to go shopping, who asked Simon to be their driver. However, halfway through, she suddenly said that she had to visit a high school classmate, so she jumped off the car and left.
Now, there were only the two of them in the car.
Emily touched her forehead helplessly. She
knew that her cousin did this on purpose. She just wanted to create an opportunity for the two of them to get back together.
Looking at the streets which were constantly receding in the rearview mirror, she sighed silently in her heart. Marriage was not like dating at all. Getting back together after divorce was not that easy. What's more, he got Addy.
After her cousin had slipped away, she definitely wouldn't go shopping, so she suggested going to Anthea's house.
After the brief gathering yesterday, she thought that Anthea could come her home for dinner. Unexpectedly, Anthea was missing all night. After making a phone call to confirm that Anthea was at home, she was bursting with impatience to find her. After all, they hadn't met for so many years, she had a lot to talk to Anthea.
They once lived in the same old alley. Later, the company distributed him an apartment, so they moved away. However, the Lee's had been living here for so many years.
The Cayenne drove a few hundred meters after turning right on the main road, then they ran into an army green jeep.
To avoid a collision on the narrow road, both of them slowed to a halt.
The coming car was not an ordinary jeep on the street, but a military one. When the car horn sounded, Simon, who was on the side, slightly raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Brother?"
Emily was taken aback by his words and looked up at him as well.
Then, he averted his gaze, slowly rolled up the car window, and drove away.
After the military jeep left, Simon's Cayenne also drove into the alley in turn. At the end of the alley, there was a multi-layered residential building. Emily motioned him to park here.
When she lowered her head and unfastened her seat belt, the car door next to her was quickly opened.
Simon had already come around by the front of the car. He draped his strong arm over the door. "I'll wait for you in the car!"
"No, I..." Emily shook her head.
Simon didn't wait for her to finish and closed the door. He had already walked back to the driver's seat. Then he took out the lighter and a carton of cigarettes from his pocket.
Seeing this, she had to turn around and went to the door of the building.
The Lee's lived on the top floor. Just like her aunt's family, Anthea's parents were simple and honest people. Emily and Anthea had formed a lasting friendship since childhood. However, unlike her family background, Anthea was a girl of fortune hidden in the crowd.
She went in and said hello to her mother. Then she followed Anthea into the bedroom.
As soon as the door closed, Emily immediately squinted to question her. "Anthea, you didn't come back home last night! I can't get through to your cell phone. Your mother told me that you didn't come back!"
After being asked by her, Anthea looked a little unnatural. "Ahem, last night, I had something to do..."
Maybe because she was afraid of being found out, she looked away and cleaned up the cluttered bed, but she accidentally dropped the bag. The things inside fell down, and there was a conspicuous red aluminium foil package among them.

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 😩...
