"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
Emily had been avoiding Jeffry for several days. She doesn't take his calls, she refuses every time he comes to the office, and she never even replies to his messages.Emily was plagued with unstoppable turmoil.She didn't like this situation, but she didn't know what to do. If Charles knew everything, it would be a new problem, and Emily was not ready for that.Her heart ached, to be honest. Especially when she refused the arrival of Jeffry, who was carrying some packages in his hand at that time; he wanted to invite Emily to enjoy lunch together. But still, Emily was adamant about not accepting it."Em ... can't you be a little lenient. Jeffry seems to really love you," Shila said when she saw Emily looking out of her office window.From there, she could see the big street where Jeffry used to park his vehicle. And the apartment that he planned to build right in front of EMZ Company, he realized even though EMZ was not the one working on the project.It was undoubted proof that Jeff
It had been a dull few days for Emily. Went to bed and woke up early, had breakfast alone, went to work, then came back home and had to stay in her room until the following day. All by herself. And repeating.Emily still imagined how the past few days had gone with a different scene—she woke up in Jeffry's arms after a night of making love like there was no tomorrow. And now the opposite was happening.Did Emily miss him? Or just his touch?Emily got out of bed lazily. Today, it was back to Saturday and gray. She didn't want to stay in place and do nothing.She rushed to the kitchen and found her cell phone lying on the bar table after preparing dinner last night and enjoying it alone. Several missed calls from Jeffry.Emily was tired of avoiding him. She was homesick, maybe even in love. But she couldn't let Charles down just for the sake of selfishness.Again, her cell phone rang. However, this time it was a video call, and it was from Jeffry. Emily wasn't sure whether to accept it,
Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing. Jeffry had used her all this time just for fun and to get revenge on Charles.And the most surprising thing is that Emilia is Jeffry's wife.Is that why Charles did not allow Emily to have any relationship with Jeffry? Because Charles did not want Emily to be a means of revenge for this man?"Em-Emilia? Since when are you here? Aren't you—""Long enough to hear everything, Jeff. Why did you look so surprised?"Jeffry's face turned sour as he had to accept that his plan might fall apart. He had not expected Emily to catch him talking to Charles."Emilia, you were misunderstood.""Which part did I misunderstand? Is it the sentence saying that you won't give the same love you gave to Emilia? Or the impression that you're planning to take revenge?" Emily replied bitterly.She was naturally hurt because she had not expected Jeffry to do this to her."Get out of here!" Emily snapped, holding back the pain in her chest.She had almost decided to a
Emily waltzed confidently into the meeting room. Who said her heart was delicate? She was still heartbroken. She didn't want to show much of what she was feeling now, except for Shila. Even when in the meeting room, her eyes met Charles' disappointed eyes; Emily tried to ease the turmoil of her own heart. She would explain everything to Charles later. She didn't want herself to be the scapegoat for the feud between Charles and the con man who had taken advantage of her fragility to bring her down. What happened between her and Jeffry had nothing to do with Charles. And Emily would not accept if Jeffry involved her in this situation. The meeting was just about to start, and one figure who had become Emily's enemy from now on was present and got a seat right next to her. The woman was reluctant, even looking the other way without caring that Jeffry was hoping to have a little talk with her and explain everything. "Emilia, can we talk for a moment? Later, after the meeting." Emily i
