Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 689
Emily stood there in a daze.
She was surprised by the sweet ways in which he wanted her to address him. She felt as if her breath had been taken away so that she could only hear her heart beating so fast that was about to jump out of her chest.
Fortunately, her aunt came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and said with a smile, "Simon, have a taste of this. This is Jamaica Blue Mountain! One of your uncle's friends who works there give several pounds. Your uncle will never share it with others!"
"Thank you!" Simon took it with both hands.
Aunt also brought out a platter of fruit and put it on the table.
Emily finally understood why Zola said that love was not old, it was to keep an eternal flame and eternal light, the existence of the world took it as nourishment. Since the day she was adopted by her aunt, she was treated the same way as her aunt did to Selena. Her aunt had already regarded her as a daughter. Now she was genuinely glad that her daughter's husband was such a humdinger.
Aunt asked lovingly, "Simon, what do you like?
I'll cook for you later!"
Simon curled up his lips and answered politely. "Aunt, I'm not picky about food. I can cook too. Please let me know how I can help!"
"Okay!" Aunt's face wrinkled in a grin.
From selling the kidney in the morning to paying off the money for each family, half a day had passed. By the time the meal was ready, it was already afternoon. As the extraction fan buzzed, through the glass door of the kitchen, Emily could see Simon, whose lips were slightly upturned standing next to her excited aunt in front of the burners.
A lively conversation went on with everybody joining in when they enjoyed the superb meal. They usually had meals in the living room. Their house was old-fashioned, and the rooms were furnished with taste. Today, with Simon, the round table seemed to be too small forthem.
During the more than two days since Emily returned to the town, everyone was frowning worriedly about the debts. They didn't eat much. Most of the time, they just ate some snacks.
Now, with great relief, these dishes gave them a good appetite. Though her uncle was inarticulate, he poured out two glasses of champagne and handed one to Simon enthusiastically.
"I'd like to propose a toast! Simon, here's to you! As you said, we are a family now. I won't say too much, but thank you! Bottoms up!" After saying that, uncle whispered in his ear, "My wife doesn't allow me to drink. Since you're here, I'd like to get drunk today!"
"Cheers!" Simon raised his glass with both hands.
Selena also picked up her glass and said, "Here's to our savior. But I can't drink alcohol, so I substitute juice for champagne!"
Emily looked at the smile on her family members' faces and realized that they had already accepted Simon. Although she despised Simon for his larger-than-life acting, she loved the atmosphere now because everyone hadn't felt so happy out for age.
She raised her glass against the glass and took a sip of champagne. Her stomach seemed to be warm.
The meal lasted for a long time. At the end, it was dark outside. Emily looked at the clock on the wall and ased with a frown, "Simon, you have drunk so much. How can you drive back to Ice city?" They were not in the city, where he could call for a driving service. He had to drive on superhighway back.
Aunt came forward and pulled her arm unhappily. "Don't go back tonight! Simon must be tired. Why don't you leave tomorrow morning? I'll clean up a bedroom for him. He stays here tonight!" "No. We have to go to work tomorrow!" Emily said with embarrassment.
At this time, Simon said slowly with a glass of champagne, "I'll take the night shift, so I have nothing to do at day."
"..." Emily gritted her teeth.
When aunt heard this, she smiled and made the final decision for them. "That's settled. You can ask your boss for a leave tomorrow morning. It's alright!"
Since they were married, so they had to sleep in the same room. Selena shared the room with aunt, and her uncle would sleep on the sofa.
When night fell, the smell of food and alcohol clung to the room. Emily held the quilt brought by her aunt and walked into the bedroom.
Simon, who had already taken a shower, was standing lazily by the window, with a cigarette in his hand, blowing out the smoke.
Even though they were married, Emily still felt very shy about sleeping together in her aunt's house. But at the same time, she didn't forget another thing. He left with a beautiful woman in a sports car, and when she called him that night, the woman told her that he was taking a shower...
She threw the quilt and the pillow into a bed and said without raising her head, "You sleep on Selena's bed!"
Then, Emily went straight to the opposite bed and threw off her slippers to lie on it.
After the lights were turned off in the bedroom, Simon stubbed out the cigarette, but he didn't do as she said, instead, he lifted the quilt and lay next to her.
"Hey, what are you doing! It's not big enough for us!"
Emily reached out her hands to push him away, tightly biting her lips.
Because there were two twin beds in the bedroom, so it was indeed small for him, who was tall and muscular. On top of that, she was sulky.
Who had told her that he had no mistress since he met her in Crocus City?
Liar!
Doubts that had been submerged in her mind suddenly resurfaced. She felt somewhat had suffocated her heart, something like straws, armed with sharp prickles, leaving her endless pain. Simon grabbed her wrists easily with one hand, almost completely pressing her against the wall. "What else can I do with my wife?"
"You can sleep with other girls!" Emily said in a bad mood.
"Who?" Simon asked in a lazy tone.
Emily sneered and blurted out, "The one who drove a sports car at the hospital entrance. You can't fool me. She told me that you were taking a shower!"
Hearing this, Simon thought for a while and replied with a calm and composed voice, "Her name is Caroline Channing."
Caroline Channing? Well, why didn't she call Max Black?
Emily gave a forced smile. "What a fashion name!"
Simon popped himself up with his arm, quietly raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Emily, that's the reason why you reject me by switching off your phone?" Emily pursed her lips and said nothing.
Even in the dark, she could recognize his profile. She knew that he was staring at her with his beautiful eyes. When she heard a deep laughter, she said angrily, "What are you laughing at!"
