Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 688
"He... well... I..."
Emily dared not to look aunt's face and fumbled helplessly for words.
Simon's Adam's apple bobbed as he said politely, "Nice to meet you, aunt and uncle! I'm Simon, 29 years old. I'm a surgeon. Emily and I are legally married couple."
It was too late to stop him, so Emily covered her face helplessly.
Could she just disappear on the spot?
Her worst fears were realized. Selena shrugged her shoulders as if she was saying, "My lips are sealed. It's nothing to do with me.
Aunt was shocked and looked at her niece in disbelief. "Emily?"
"Yes..." Emily resigned to her fate and shrugged her shoulders.
Since he had confessed, she had no other choice but to admit it.
Aunt and uncle looked at each other, astonishment gleamed in their eyes. Aunt even lost her balance sitting there. After a long time, she regained her voice and asked,
"How long have you... been married?"
"It's been three months..." Emily replied in a weak voice.
"What? It's been three months?" Aunt suddenly stood up from the sofa, and her eyes were almost popping out. She said with anger and surprise, "Oh god, why don't you tell us? I didn't know that, and I even arranged a blind date for you. You didn't even tell me. Where is the fun in that?"
Emily had to bite the bullet and said with a forced smile, "It's becoming fashionable to pretend to be single. I want to keep up with the latest fashion..."
"You - "
Aunt pointed her finger at her in anger.
After getting up and circling the table several times, she seemed to calm down. When sat down again, she looked at Simon, who was sitting next to her, and tentatively said, "Mr. Chin?" "Aunt, just Simon. Everyone in my family calls me Simon." Simon said with a smile.
No one would reject the scene that a handsome man with attractive facial features sat on the sofa and smiled at you in the warm sunshine, which flooded into the room. His speech and manner are refined. He was a joy to behold.
"Well, Simon!" Aunt grined. "You are a doctor?"
Simon nodded. He sat in a lazy but measured way. He slowly introduced himself with a smile. "Yes, I'm a surgeon in a private hospital. My mother died young. My father is a soldier, and I have two elder brothers. One is a businessman, and the other is in the army! We have indeed been married for some time. But Emily hasn't told you, so I didn't visit you before. Please forgive my sudden visit!" The tone of his language was diplomatic and polite, at the same time, he shifted the responsibility to her.
Emily gritted her teeth secretly. Sure enough, she saw her aunt staring at her and saying in a bad mood, "I know, it's all her fault!"
Looking at the suitcases beside the table, aunt and uncle unconsciously rubbed their hands. "Please excuse the mess. Thank you for the money, we must..."
Simon interrupted them, with a serious look on his face, "Aunt, uncle, Emily is my wife, so we are a family now. I'm all about being a nice husband. I'm sorry that I didn't come here with her that day and I drove here as soon as I heard the news this morning! I'll take good care of her I promise!"
"Okay, okay!" Aunt and uncle said delightfully.
Aunt was overjoyed when looked at them sitting together. Although she was angry that Emily hid her marriage, she felt more excited and happy. She was worried that Emily was still frustrated due to the last relationship, so she introduced a good man to Emily. No wonder Emily never told her who was she feeling for him. Now, since Emily married a perfect young man, she fulfilled the dying wishes of her sister. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became and she could no longer hold back her tears. She wiped her eyes while getting up and grinned from ear to ear. "Simon, you must be very tired to drive here from Ice city. Take a rest. I'll get you a glass of water! Honey, come on, get groceries now. It's the first time Simon to visit us. We can't let him down!"
When aunt was speaking, uncle had already gotten up and walked towards the door.
Selena winked at them and said, "Stay there. I'm going to help my mom in the kitchen!"
After there were only the two of them in the living room, Emily immediately went to pull Simon's arm and said, "Simon, why did you tell my aunt and uncle about our marriage? I have hidden it for so long!" Simon crossed his long legs and leaned back on the sofa. He lazily asked, "Do you want me to say that I'm your sugar daddy?"
"..." Emily was choked because of his words.
Indeed, her friend couldn't take out such a large sum of money. If they didn't tell the truth, aunt and uncle might be suspicious about their relationship, and then it would be even more difficult to explain... No matter what, he saved them this time.
Emily bit her lip and said tentatively, "Thank you! I know what we owed is small fry for you. But it means a lot for us. If the police arrest my uncle's friend and take the money back, I'll return it to you as soon as possible!"
Seeming to have guessed what she was worried about, Simon said, "I earned this money myself. It has nothing to do with the Chin Family. Don't worry about that!"
Hearing this, Emily raised her eyebrows in surprise.
However, she was very surprised by his words. Although she knew that he was an expert personally hired by the hospital's president with a high salary, she didn't believe that he was rich enough to splash out one million dollars as his wish.
Suddenly thinking of something, she looked around, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Simon, you didn't receive money from patients' family, did you?"
The corner of Simon's mouth twitched.
"Did you?" Seeing this, Emily asked nervously.
Blue veins stood out on his temples. He rubbed her head grumpily. "What are you thinking about? I know better than to get ill-gotten gains! In addition to my salary and bonus, I have shares in my friends' companies. I have regular income every year!" "Oh!" Emily let out a sigh of relief. She pursed her lips and couldn't help but say, "Simon, thank you!"
Simon's leg gently dangled as he leered at her. He mischievously said with a smile. "Why don't you call me honey to show your sincerity?"
