Falling for My Contract Lover "Another one?"
Eyes locked in a mutual fury, the atmosphere teetered on the brink of hostility.Murray suddenly let out a light chuckle, straightening up and glancing at the white roses in Emily's hands. He approached Ronald, giving a light cough before speaking with a look of regret, "White roses symbolize pure, unique, and supreme love for one's beloved. Thus, they are only meant for the one you love the most.""Ron, your flowers may be expensive, but they lack this special meaning, and naturally, they can't compare."With these words, a silence fell over the three of them.Emily and Elton shared a glance, the unspeakable awkwardness.Ronald, repeatedly rejected by Emily yet not daring to offend her, was already boiling with rage. Murray's words only added fuel to his fire, directing his anger towards Elton.Especially knowing he was the man from Emily's diary, Ronald's fury burned even brighter. However, the angrier he got, the quicker he calmed down. He carelessly tossed the flowers on the step
Falling for My Contract Lover “She deserved it"
Emily flicked her cigarette butt into the trash bin beside the flowerbed. "No more. Nobody knows I smoke, and I don't want to give it away."Ronald raised an eyebrow, giving a meaningful "Oh" in response.Emily smiled, "How about we be friends?"Ronald also smiled, "Sure."...When Emily entered the café, Elton was on a phone call. He waved at her as she approached.Emily walked over, hearing Elton say into the phone, "Emily's here. Let me ask her."Elton pulled the phone away from his ear but didn't hang up. He asked Emily, "My dad is asking about your graduation today. Are you free tonight to have dinner with everyone at home?"Emily grinned, "Of course, it's a happy occasion that definitely calls for a celebration at home.""Dad, you heard her. Tell Dora to prepare some of Emily's favorite dishes." He ended the call.Checking the time, Emily suggested that Elton have lunch at the school cafeteria, as it
Falling for My Contract Lover "How could I help you now? "
At six o'clock, dinner was ready.Emily walked to the dining table and naturally sat at the end. Devin, seated at the head of the table, glanced at Odelia and gestured for her to switch seats with Emily. Odelia, not daring to protest, grimly moved to Emily's place.The table was indeed lavish, with most dishes being Emily's favorites.Before the meal, Devin raised his glass, "Congratulations to Emily on her graduation."Elton and Mignon also raised their glasses in congratulations, while Odelia just rolled her eyes, showing no participation.Devin, ignoring Odelia's reaction, turned to Emily with reddened eyes. "Emily, if your father were still here, he'd be so proud of you."Emily despised Devin's hypocritical, knowing how he had wronged her father. Her heart filled with hatred, and her grip on the wine glass tightened to the brink of shattering it. She long
Falling for My Contract Lover "I'm sorry, Emily"
Elton, as always, sought Emily's opinion first.Tired of their tedious tug-of-war, Emily didn't wait for Mignon to speak and expressed directly that she wanted to live independently."I'm 22 years old. I can't rely on you for everything. I need to learn to be independent," Emily said, fighting back her distaste to sound as pleasant as possible."I've arranged to rent a place with my roommate. It's economical, and we can look out for each other."Upon hearing this, Elton immediately objected. "Living with a roommate is different from school. Once you start working, your schedules won't align, and it can be uncomfortable. You don't need to worry about rent. I've saved some money over the years. I can't afford a mansion, but I can certainly buy you an apartment in the central district."Emily glanced at Yan's mother and daughter, who, as expected, looked visibly upset at the thought
Falling for My Contract Lover "We have a document that requires your confirmation at the law firm"
Emily found it hard to gauge Devin's motives. With Boyce dethroned, it seemed odd he wasn't concerned about it but instead focused on minor details.She answered, "He said it's up to me."Standing up from his chair, Devin stepped forward and patted Emily's shoulder, his tone probing, "Does that mean your relationship with him might become strained?"Suppressing her discomfort, Emily explained, "Even if I don't move out, he doesn't visit the villa every day. My main concern is Elton will be suspicious. If he finds out about the deal behind all this, I fear…"She looked up at Devin.Devin's lips trembled imperceptibly. He knew his son's temperament all too well. If Elton discovered that Emily was the price for his CEO position and the Cromwell family's current status, there would be hell to pay."You're doing the right thing, the right thing indeed. Elto
Falling for My Contract Lover "Your brother is not planning to move in, too, is he?"
The call momentarily took Emily aback. "May I ask what document this is about?""It's not something we can discuss over the phone. Could you please visit our office when you have time?""Alright." Hanging up, Emily felt an inexplicable sense of unease, standing still for a moment.Only when Elton called out to her from the car, "Emily," did she snap out of her daze and quickly walk over.Once in the car, Elton asked, "Why were you standing there so long after the phone call?"Emily forced a smile, "Just a friend needing some help.""That's good," Elton said as he leaned over to grab a paper bag from the back seat and handed it to Emily. "I saw these while driving to the hospital yesterday and thought of you. See if they still taste the same."Emily opened the bag to find it full of small rabbit-shaped biscuits. Her eyes welled up unexpect
Falling for My Contract Lover "Didn't last night satisfy you?"
Emily playfully pinched her arm, "If you can't say anything nice, you might as well donate your mouth."Donna raised her hands andZipped her mouth shut, "I'll keep quiet.".......As the real estate agent was about to lead them to the fourth phase, Emily quickly pulled Elton aside, explaining that she disliked housework and that a larger house would burden her more.Elton didn't understand, "You can hire help, right?"Holding onto his arm, Emily insisted, "I don't like unfamiliar people in my personal space."This reason seemed to satisfy Elton, and they eventually settled on a south-facing 186-square-meter apartment on the 22nd floor of phase three. However, the agent informed them that the owner was abroad and the apartment was under management. It was immediately available for rent, but buying would require some waiting.
Falling for My Contract Lover "Do you know my father?"
Murray chuckled on the other end of the phone, “Tell me, what do you want this time?”“I want to join Bucapital,” Emily answered straightforwardly.“Oh? Why?” Murray’s voice sounded relaxed, almost as if he had anticipated her request.Emily licked her lips, trying to sound as confident as possible, “I want to see you every day, go to work with you, come home with you…” She paused, her voice tinged with a longing, “I don't want to be here all day, doing nothing, just waiting for you to return.”There was a brief silence on the other end, filled only with Murray's shallow breathing.Emily’s heart raced, her fingers turning white from the tension. After a long time, Murray hummed in affirmation.“You agree?”“Hmm.”&ld
