Today, Emily couldn't get out of bed because she had vomited up everything in her stomach since yesterday. Even until this afternoon, no food had survived.However, Emily did not tell Shila about what she had been experiencing since yesterday. She did contact Shila, but only to give her a job to handle for a few days until she recovers.Emily didn't need to say anything about her condition, Shila knew very well how her best friend was, so she didn't talk too much but did something important that she needed to do."Shila, are you still there?" asked Emily, who was trying to hold back the turmoil in her stomach that was coming on again. "Okay, wait a minute, and don't turn off your phone, okay?"Emily put the phone, still connected to Shila, on the nightstand, and she dashed to the toilet and spilled the bitter yellowish liquid again.It seemed that her stomach acid was unstable, and she needed medicine. However, if a doctor came here, Charles would find out about her current situation
Emily was transfixed when she heard Jared's words. She couldn't understand why he was calling her names and likening Emily to herself. Was it Emily who didn't understand where this conversation was going? "Emilia? Isn't that my name, Jared? The name dad gave me. Not unlike Emily, my real name. Emilia is beautiful," Emily replied with a puzzled smile. Jared laughed lightly, realizing that Emily didn't recognize who Emilia was, and it was only natural for her to ask. "You don't know, do you? Emilia is ... she's our sister. Our parents' eldest daughter," Jared explained, earning an increasingly confused reaction from Emily. "I don't understand, Jared." Jared had already fallen into the hole he had deliberately dug for himself. He didn't want Emily to be the only one who didn't know Emilia—she was a famous model, and her beauty seemed to fly freely until a man captured her heart. "Dad did hide this from everyone, Em. He also didn't want anyone to talk about Emilia. He buried Emilia w
Jeffry could always bend Emily's defenses that were so upright before. Just with a threatening sentence, then confronted like this, making Emily seem to be on her knees.It wasn't that easy, actually. It's just that Jeffry has started all his possession of Emily with the attitude and attention she should get from her husband, who has now turned into an ex.That kind of attention alone is enough. Plus, Jeffry Allen's charm is not much different from Jason and Jared's. It's just that Emily doesn't know what makes this man seem so special."I don't belong to anyone, Jeff. I'm my own, and no one can control my life. If you're just here to do whatever you want, you're making the wrong enemy. You will lose."Threats backed by threats, Emily thought it was effective enough to repel a man like Jeffry Allen. As it turned out, Emily was wrong. Because the next day, Jeffry again came with something else. He has a bouquet in his right hand and the usual food in his left.And, of course, he again
Emily had already started working for today, trying to forget what had happened yesterday. Everything Jared explained did make Emily think hard because until the last question came out of her mouth, Jared was still silent.Until now, of course, Emily had no idea what their problem with Jeffry was. What made the McKennel family hate Jeffry so much?However, when Emily arrived at the office, her thoughts about Jeffry disappeared. Of course, this was because she again had to do the ridiculous thing of sitting in a wheelchair while Shila would push the wheelchair wherever Emily wanted to go.Even in the wheelchair, she would scowl and be discouraged as all eyes would be on her."Tell that boss of yours, Shila! This is a ridiculous thing I've ever done, and I'm so ashamed of it! I hate him! And his ideas always make me look ridiculous!" Emily grumbled to the cafeteria.Today Emily didn't bring any food, and neither did Shila, who didn't have time to make food for Emily because Shila was ru
"Why are you silent, Emilia? You haven't even touched your food," said Jeffry, who had been looking at Emily since earlier as if the charm of the woman in front of him bewitched him. No one knew Jeffry's intentions; Emily didn't want to be as naive as when she loved Jason, so she was willing to do anything to get the man's heart. This time, she would play it slow. If Jeffry loves her, even in a long and challenging period, he will still fight for her. Emily shook her head at Jeffry's question, which she didn't want to answer. If asked why she looked so upset, the answer was that the condition of the problem she had to live with was not like what most people faced. The secret that was kept and buried for so long eventually backfired, and she, who had nothing to do with it, suffered the consequences. Jeffry stopped chewing before looking into Emily's beautiful eyes. "Emilia, although Charles has been instrumental in your life, that doesn't mean he can drive you. Especially when it
The conversation between Emily and Jeffry on the phone ended with an invitation to dinner at Jeffry's residence. Emily could not refuse because, as a tactic, Jeffry said that his daughter asked him to invite Emily. Although Emily was still upset with the man, not with his daughter, that's why Emily accidentally immediately said yes when Jeffry firmly invited her; even the woman could bring Shila if she wanted. Unfortunately, Shila doesn't want to interfere with the opportunity for Emily and Jeffry to get to know each other better. And the day arrived. Emily was already grooming herself in front of the mirror, making sure that the dress she wore fit her body and didn't look weird because of her bulging belly, which made Emily smile more often every time she looked at herself with her big belly in the mirror. She couldn't wait to hold her baby. However, of course, it was still quite a while, and for now, she could only fantasize and keep hoping that the time would come sooner. Jeffr
Emily gave up. Let's say she lost this time, failed many times despite building high walls, but still gave up in the end.Jeffry's touch broke down Emily's defenses. But that didn't mean she was naive. She just wanted to feel what she hadn't felt in a long time. And so did Jeffry.In all the time since his wife died, Jeffry had never wanted any woman, just as he wanted Emily this time. And it was true.Emily was like opium to which he was addicted. Her kisses, sighs, and even the way Emily responded to Jeffry's rhythmic movements above her when they made love made him want to repeat it; over and over again.Emily had to be his, no matter if it meant Jeffry had to experience the same thing as he did with his late wife.Emily blinked as sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, and of course, she knew where she was. She did it consciously and with the utmost willingness. Emily wasn't going to pin her hopes on a relationship between her and Jeffry that might make her a foolish w
Emily got up and found herself in Jeffry's arms. She hurriedly got off the bed as she felt something stirring in her stomach. She vomited everything in her stomach except the baby, of course. When she came out of the bathroom, Jeffry was waiting in the doorway with a worried look. He helped Emily to lie back on the bed and wrapped his arms around her. "Is this okay, Emilia? You've been vomiting everything since last night. Shouldn't we call a doctor? Doctor Avery must be—" "Urgh! Why do you rich people use the same doctor?" complained Emily, then sagged onto her back. "I'll be fine. Unless you find another doctor." "Alright. I'll find the best one. Wait here!" Before Jeffry could get up and leave the room, Emily quickly grabbed Jeffry's wrist and stopped him. He turned around and sat on Emily's side of the bed. "Why? Don't tell me you changed your mind." Emily shook her head, then got up and positioned herself to sit facing Jeffry. "I have to go, Jeff. So there's no need for a
