When Emma entered the film crew's meeting room, the director was yelling seriously. She sat down next to Vivian, and took off her bag, "What's going on?"Vivian used a finger to pick at her ear, looking bored. She yawned tiredly and then tilted her chin towards the woman who was being scolded by the director, "There's a new scandal related to yesterday's press conference, you know?"Emma's thoughtful eyes looked at Aurora's small body that kept bowing and apologizing, "Who's it about?"This was not beyond her expectations. If it were her, she would also be angry, let alone the director who was responsible for the entire film crew.“Brian and Christine.” Vivian was leaning back in her chair with her eyes closed, "Brian's fandom originally didn't like him doing romantic movies. Now that the press is rumored to be dating, Brian's fans are going crazy, attacking Christine and demanding to boycott the movie."The press certainly knew how to dig deep into the most dangerous places that coul
The party started with excitement and then ended in disappointment. After Vivian left, Vincent's mood somehow plummeted, leading to his behavior being frighteningly rude.He exchanged a few words with the director and then asked to leave early. Before leaving, he slammed the door, making everyone in the restaurant room shocked.The director was still worried about whether or not he had done something disrespectful to Vincent. Brian sitting across from him calmly commented, "Just leave him alone. He suppressed it for a long time, just get a chance to go crazy."Returning to the hotel, as soon as Emma entered the bedroom, she was pulled into the strong arms of a man. The familiar scent entered her nostrils and she immediately recognized it.He used more force to hug her tightly, and then his deep, slightly lazy voice rang out, "Do you miss me?"“Harry, I didn't expect you to be this addicted to me. I've only been out of town for less than a day.” Emma laughed and pushed him, turning on
“Emma, are you okay?”From far away, Christine's worried voice came. She must have been so scared when she heard the news that she cried until her eyes turned red. Her coat was not even properly buttoned.Harry looked a little hesitant at the woman in his arms. This light yellow snow jacket belonged to Aurora, he didn't recognize it wrong.Being rescued from the snow pile, Aurora quickly regained consciousness and coughed loudly. Her cheeks were as pink as tomatoes, her mouth exhaled smoke, showing that she was feeling very cold.Weakly grabbing Harry's arm, Aurora whispered with difficulty, "Harry, is it really you? You saved me..."For a dreamy second, she could hear Harry's heart beating wildly as he hugged her. This warmth made her so attached that she didn't want to separate, just hoping he could hold her a little tighter. A voice of tears rolled down from the corner of her teary eyes, "I missed..."Before Aurora could finish her sentence, Harry helped her sit up and quickly let
“How is she, Uncle Ken?” Charles quickly jumped up when he saw the doctor walk out of Emma's hospital room.Dark circles appeared in his eye sockets. Just a few months since they last met, he had already become thinner. It seemed that every time Emma and he met again, it was under special circumstances. He first helped her from harassment by her ex-boyfriend, David. The second time they met again after a period of separation was when she fainted.The doctor took off his mask, slowly looked at his worried nephew, and replied, "It's okay. She just has a cold, but if she doesn't take medicine promptly, it will get worse.""But I saw her faint, her face pale and lifeless..." He looked at the hospital bed where Emma was lying, continuing to mumble.The doctor named Ken patted his shoulder before leaving, "She's physically a bit weak. Take care of her for a few days and she will be fine. Come in with your girlfriend.”Charles sat next to Emma's hospital bed, intending to hold her small hand
The slap just now stunned the entire film crew.Emma took a deep breath, adjusted her hair, and stood up straight. She pursed her lips slightly, then decided to raise her hand and slap that woman back.Slap!Aurora quickly stood in front of the woman who had just helped her, receiving Emma's slap. Her facial skin was both white and thin, resulting in a clear imprint of the five fingertips.That woman screamed, “Oh my god, Ms. Emma, you're so bossy! You keep hitting me here. Why did you have to slap Aurora? She didn't do anything wrong.”"Stop it." Aurora stopped that woman, bowed her head, and apologized to Emma with tears streaming down her pitiful face, "I'm sorry, Ms. Emma. Everything is my fault, so please don't blame other innocent people. From next time I will be more careful while working.”“What? You know I didn't mean to push the coffee cup at you." Emma frowned, she took an uncomfortable step forward, but Aurora instinctively retreated back as if she were scared.The directo
“Emma? Why are you sitting here?” Charles got out of a taxi. As soon as he saw Emma sitting in the front hall, he couldn't believe his eyes.His current appearance was not as polite as usual. His two shirt buttons were undone, revealing his seductive bare chest, and his tie was messy. He hung his vest across his arms and slowly walked towards Emma.Her endless thoughts were interrupted by Charles' voice. She was startled and then looked up at him, "I... I... don't want to go home."Having said that, she pursed her lips. Slender fingers intertwined. She shivered a bit because of the cold. Very soon, she smelled a special perfume scent from the vest covering her body.Charles sat down next to her, "Are you arguing with Harry again?"Emma looked down. Recently, she really liked to cry. Just an ordinary sentence could make her eyes well up with tears. She hesitantly nodded.“Let me talk to him.”He immediately jumped up, but a small hand quickly grabbed him. She shook her head, “No. I don'
At the hospital.Emma walked out with a dazed expression, unable to clearly see her emotions. Her hands trembled as she held the pregnancy result paper.Putting the phone to her ear, the time waiting for the other end to pick up was like countless drumbeats in her heart. A moment later, a deep calm voice came, "What's going on?"Harry was meeting with partners abroad. At first, he felt uncomfortable when someone bothered him while working, but when he saw her name appear on the phone screen, he immediately went out. Having to take a deep breath to reassure himself, he dared to pick up the phone.She stood alone in the middle of the crowd at the hospital, grabbed the phone tightly, and lowered her voice, "Are you coming home from work tonight?""That's right." He replied.“Let's go home, I have something to tell you.”She put her phone and pregnancy result paper in her bag, took a taxi, and continued back to work.In the evening, Emma had prepared a sumptuous table of food waiting for
Dreamily opening her eyes, the pure white ceiling and the typical antiseptic scent of the hospital entered Emma's nostrils.The nurse standing next to her was checking her parameters and bent down to ask, "Are you awake?"Emma wanted to raise her hand to rub her aching temple, but her whole body had no strength. She frowned and said, "Who... took me to the hospital?""I don't know. But your husband is outside, let me tell him you're awake. He's very worried about you.” The nurse finished her work and was about to leave."Wait." Emma stopped her, “My baby… how is my baby?”She swallowed the water down her dry throat. Eyes full of earnestness mixed with fear looked towards the nurse. Her heart pounded continuously as she waited for an answer. Before passing out, she felt her stomach contract violently, afraid that the car crash would affect her baby...“Don't worry. Your baby is still safe, but you had a foetal derangement.”The nurse smiled gently at her, seeming to remember something,
In a spacious duplex penthouse of over 300m2 in the heart of the city, Harry and his wife, along with their two little angels, lived happily day by day. After the two kids went to school each day, Emma would often sit at home studying scripts before moving back and forth between film shooting locations.In the afternoon, Harry would come home early to pick up the kids after school, then they would go to the supermarket together and cook dinner for her.This year, Charlie turned 10, handsome and intelligent. Originally, his attendance at junior high school drew significant attention, but his charming appearance garnered much admiration from friends around.However, every time friends invited him to hang out, he would coldly refuse because he had to pick up his little sister Ariel from kindergarten and wait for their father to come home together.Life was peaceful and calm, except for one thing..."Mom, why am I not in this picture?"Ariel, a 4-year-old girl, held a photo against Emma's
"Boss, Madam said you're exploiting her labor. She wants to resign.""Resign? I disagree." Harry wore his gold-rimmed glasses, focused on the stack of documents on the table. His hand continuously signed contracts that his company had recently won.As soon as he raised his head, it seemed like the sunlight of the summer sun could compare to his handsome face, "Has she not realized her mistake yet?"Observing Harry's calm expression, Martin silently chuckled. In front of others, Harry could maintain the cold and arrogant facade; however, facing his wife, could he keep up such composure?"What are you laughing at?" Harry glared at Martin, noticing his suppressed laughter."Boss, this time, Madam wants to resign as your wife. Besides working and taking care of Charlie, she claims constantly comforting you is too exhausting as a wife.""Impossible!" The deep hoarse voice suddenly raised its pitch.As soon as Martin finished speaking, Harry slammed the table, losing the calm demeanor he ha
The sun was just rising. Soft light poured into the room, illuminating a couple cuddling affectionately in bed.“Good morning, baby.”“Morning.”Emma rubbed her eyes, gave Harry a peck on the lips, and stretched her body.Suddenly, Harry's large hand reached around Emma's bare waist. The contact of their skin gave Emma a cool sensation, and she let out a soft moan."What time is it? We need to take Charlie to school..." Her sweet voice still had a hint of huskiness as she pushed Harry's chest away and reached for her phone.However, Harry remained firm, holding onto her waist tightly. He bent down to kiss the white nape of her neck, his cool lips gliding over her soft skin as he inhaled her fragrance.“The school is right across the street. He can go to school on his own..."“Come on, Charlie's going to sulk again. I can't comfort him anymore..." She laughed, then ran her hands through his hair, tilted her head up and gently kissed his throat.“Ah…”Harry used one hand to push her hea
"Want a smoke?""No, she doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."Harry shook his head in refusal, pushing the offered cigarette from Charles a bit away with his index finger.Charles stored the pack of cigarettes inside his vest pocket, casually leaned back against the car, and took a deep drag. He lifted his head to gaze at the pitch-black sky, devoid of moon and stars, remaining silent as time passed without uttering a word.Harry crossed his arms over his chest. The waft of cigarette smoke in the air made him slightly furrow his brow, his deep voice resonating, "If you've got something to say, say it out. I still need to get back to deal with some work at the company.""The first time I met her was in a corner of the university campus. I was facing off against a group of troublemaker students to protect a stray cat, and she came running, cursing them straight to their faces to defend me."Harry's expression stiffened suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a complex emotion
In the capital city."Do you dare to show up at my doorstep?!" The fierce roaring voice carried immense anger, shaking the entire small villa.Mr. Garcia brandished a broom, driving Harry out towards the main gate. His chest heaved with rage, and he thrust the broom without mercy at Harry, but luckily he still avoided it.Pointing his finger directly at Harry's face, Mr. Garcia patted his chest to calm his breathing and said, "Get out of my sight quickly. Do you think bringing gifts to please me, I will allow you to be with my daughter?”The front door slammed shut, leaving Harry standing there looking pitiful and helpless.It seemed that the real difficulty had just arrived.A few hours earlier."Do you think this suit looks okay on me? Handsome enough? Does an all-black look from head to toe make me too scary?"Harry continuously adjusted his hairstyle while looking in the mirror. He then turned around for Emma and Charlie to admire. He nervously straightened the edges of his vest a
"Harry!" The anguished call echoed in Emma's heart from a distance.At this moment, all the forces Manuel had arranged along with the police arrived to surround the black car. The mafia inside, realizing they had fallen into a trap, couldn't help but curse silently. They slammed the car doors shut, intending to escape, but found themselves unable to run."Daddy! Daddy!" Tears streamed down with Charlie's tender voice, making the scene even more heart-wrenching.A 5-year-old boy cried, clinging to his father in the shelter of his small arms. From start to finish, Harry used his body to shield Charlie from witnessing the horrifying scene that had just occurred.But Charlie sensed Harry's continuously heavy and weakening breath."Sweetie, mommy is coming. You mustn't cry. Daddy almost made a big mistake just now. I'm so sorry, baby..." He held Charlie tightly in his chest, gently stroking his head."Daddy, I don't want you to die. I haven't had a chance to tell you how much I love you, a
"You've gone mad! The police have sealed off the landslide area; they'll quickly rescue anyone in distress. Stay put here for me!" Manuel commanded in a cold tone.He firmly held Emma's hands to prevent her from running forward."Let me go. I just came to check the situation. Harry and Charlie both went in that direction; they might have found a safe place," Emma protested."Stay here for me!" he repeated.Suddenly, his gaze focused on a black car passing on the other side of the mountain slope. A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he pressed Emma down under the seat.Uncomfortable with his rough actions, Emma raised her voice, "What are you doing? You still haven't answered me about why you're here. I'll go wherever I want.""Listen to me; you must not leave this area. Everything that happens after this must follow the police's arrangements." Manuel lowered his voice, looked at her seriously, and spoke a few words before quickly running off.Emma stared at his retreating figure in be
At the hospital."Did Manuel take away the test results? Wasn't the appointment for this afternoon?"Emma was frustrated with the hospital's way of doing things. She crossed her arms over her chest, took a deep breath to regain her composure, then tilted her head to look at Harry.His mood was calm again as he reached out to embrace her shoulders, pulling her close, and gently smiled at the doctor, "How are the test results? Surely, you must have recorded them on the computer?"Emma's delicately arched eyebrows twitched. She shifted away from him, giving him a stern look. Simultaneously, he leaned down to kiss her on the lips, giving her a playful wink and holding her tighter."I couldn't find any relevant records. It seems the doctor who conducted that test didn't document the results.""What? You guys are so irresponsible. First, there's a mistake in the test, and now you've lost the result notification for the patient..."The young female doctor in front of Emma looked a bit fluste
"Absolutely not. There must be some mistake here."Emma stood up abruptly, slamming the test results onto the table. She pointed at the paper, one hand leaning heavily on the table, and raised her voice in an angry interrogation of the young doctor, "Are you sure you haven't mixed up someone else's results?""Madam, I assure you these results are completely accurate. The paper even has the names of this gentleman and the child written on it.""Immediately retest for me." Harry gritted his teeth as he spoke. He leaned both hands on the table, his gaze like bullets putting pressure on the young doctor.The doctor, trembling, held up the paper and looked through it hesitantly, stammering, "You can request a retest, but it's after office hours now, and the DNA testing lab won't be operational. You can come back tomorrow to receive the results.""Fine, no need for a retest. We accept these results."Only now did Manuel speak up in his calm and composed voice. A faint glint appeared in his c
