Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 844

When they came to this gathering, Brock was worried that she would not accept his apology and felt a little nervous. He did not expect her to be so understanding. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Haha, that's good. Enjoy the food and drink tonight! If you want to, I'd like to invite you and Simon to a meal as an apology!"

"Okay!" Emily smiled.

After the rift between them was mended, the atmosphere in the private room became lively.

Although Simon drove here, it was impossible not to drink on such an occasion. So he also toasted others and chatted happily.

Only two people at the table were drinking drinks instead of wine. One was Emily, and the other was a man wearing glasses next to her. The man happened to the same person who sat next to her last time. She remembered that he had taken the initiative to talk to her last time.

This time, he also smiled at her and began talking about a common topic. "Mrs. Chin, have you been working recently?"

Emily smiled slightly, but she felt that something warm touched her belly.

She looked down. Under the table, Simon's big hand reached over from the side and covered her belly.

"She will be taking care of our baby at home!" In his deep voice, he answered for her.

"..." Emily helplessly put her hand on her forehead.

Well, yes. Anyway, their baby was coming!

She turned her head and saw Simon hold a red wine glass in his slender and jade-like hand. He had drunk a lot, and this was the third cup of wine. His peach blossom eyes became increasingly brighter, like sparkling stars in the dark night. His eyes were gazing lovingly into hers.

Emily curled up the corners of her mouth and put her hands on her knees on his big hand.

Just like last time, the man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. However, it seemed that this happy couple's affectionate move had made him jealous. He silently turned his face and talked to others instead.

The atmosphere was still very lively. The box was filled with the buzz of conversation and the clear clinks of the glasses.

Suddenly, someone said, "By the way, why didn't Addy come today?"

As Addy was mentioned, everyone was stunned a little and looked around to search for her.

Emily was also stunned. That was right. From the beginning to now, none of them had ever seen her. They had been studying in Newley City together and were close friends for many years.

Subconsciously, Brock turned to see Emily. When he was sure that she was not unhappy, he said slowly, "She is going to divorce soon, don't you know?"

Emily was stunned.

Like a tossed stone raising a thousand ripples, the news of her divorce provoked many discussions.

"Really? Don't spread fake news like this. How long has it been since she got married? I remember it was last month when I received the wedding candies from her!"

"Yes, it seems that she made a wedding trip to Moldaves. They flew directly there the day they got their marriage certificates. How romantic it was! There is also a wedding photo in the wedding candy box. Her husband seems to be a handsome gentleman. They are a perfect match!" • • •

All the people started to argue against Brock because they did not believe the news.

Emily frowned, and she also could not believe it. Not long ago, when she and Simon visited her in the hospital, they happened to see Simon, her husband, begging for her forgiveness with tears. He asked her for a chance to reform and promised that he would lead a good life with her in the future...

"I did not make it up. It's absolutely true!" Brock felt wronged and hurried to prove what he said was true. "Did you forget what my mother do? The law firm that she works in deals with divorce cases mainly. When I went to see my mother that day, I met her. She was handing in the materials and was ready to find a lawyer to draw up the divorce agreement for her! All of these were told by her personally. Can the news be false?"

All of a sudden, everyone was silent.

On the way back, the designated driver was sitting in the driver's seat while Emily and the drunk Simon were sitting in the back seats.

Outside the car windows, neon lights flashed in the darkness. In the car, everyone was silent. Simon's peach blossom eyes were looking ahead. There was a shadow between his straight nose and thin lips. Under the half-glimpsed light, he silently sat there, like a gorgeous sculpture.

His hand held hers. Emily gently shook it and put her head on his shoulder. "Simon, are you thinking about the news about Miss Swan?"

"Mn." Simon pulled his lips. He did not want to conceal anything from her.

The news Brock threw out at the table bombed in their hearts and silenced them.

"According to what Brock said, it must be true. But I have never expected her to get a divorce..." Emily bit her lips and muttered to herself. She was told that her husband had beaten her a few times. As a kind and considerate woman, Emily had always been worried about her marriage.

After thinking for a while, she looked up and said, "Are you free tomorrow? Why don't we invite her out and have a talk?"

"That's good!" Simon nodded.

The next day at noon, they were having lunch in a restaurant near the TV station.

When Emily and Simon arrived, Addy was already there. Last time, when she invited them to a meal and told them that she was getting married soon, she also arrived early. She was sitting by the window with a cup of hot tea in front of her. However, there was a glazed look in her eyes fixed on the cup.

"Addy!"

Simon pulled out a chair for Emily, and they sat down.

Addy looked up with a forced smile. "Simon, Miss Sam, you are here! I haven't yet ordered the dishes. Please do it for me!"

The waiter was called over and brought them the menu.

No one was in the mood to eat. They just hurriedly ordered a few dishes and let the waiter leave.

Simon frowned and looked Addy on the other side of the table. "Are you going to divorce?"

"How did you..." Addy was surprised, but soon she understood. "Brock told you at the gathering last night, didn't he?"

She was also invited to attend the gathering, but she was not in a good state recently, so she refused. Since she was not there, someone must have thought of her and mentioned this matter.

"Yes!" Emily nodded and asked uncertainly, "Miss Swan, are you really going to divorce?"

"Yes..." Addy also nodded.

Under the gazes of them, Addy raised her hands and tucked her long hair behind her ears. There were two crossed adhesive bandages on her cheekbones. It seemed to be a new wound, and the previous redness and swelling had already vanished.

Emily's eyes widened.

Simon violently put down the glass in his hand and said in a harsh voice, "He hit you again!"

Addy nodded, and her beautiful almond eyes gradually turned red. She sobbed and said, "He promised last time that he would never drink again and would live a good life with me, but he drank again last week and punched me... I was completely disappointed with him, and I didn't want to give him any more chances. It's terrifying and depressed to continue this marriage. I have to end this relationship as soon as possible!"

"I've already told him that I want a divorce. And my lawyer has drafted the divorced agreement!"

Emily nodded and said nothing.

After a long time of silence, Simon said with gloominess in his peach blossom eyes, "If there is anything you need, come to me at any time!"
