“Did Claire contact you?”

Shannon, who had been cursing her own uselessness, froze when she heard his question.

How did he know?

She hadn’t said anything!

Panicking, her hands instinctively tried to grab something for comfort.

But she forgot that both her arms were wrapped around Emmett’s neck. As her right hand moved, she accidentally tugged at the damp ends of his hair.

Emmett didn’t hear a response, so he was almost certain his guess was right.

His dark eyes grew colder, and the hand around her waist tightened, gently pulling her away from him, “What did she say?”

Shannon felt her chin warm as he lifted her face to meet his gaze. She instinctively turned her eyes away and looked at his collar. “She didn’t contact me.”

She took a deep breath, then raised her eyes to meet his, “Really.”

It was just a message, that’s all.

Emmett studied her but didn’t speak.

Neither of them said anything, and the room fell into an awkward silence.

However, this silence didn’t last long. After two or t

    Seeing Nina’s message, Shannon’s first thought was: When did Emmett find out I’m JJ?But that didn’t make sense. She had always worn a mask during competitions, leaving the venue immediately after, without attending any interviews or official events.Because of this, despite winning first place every year, JJ’s fame was barely half of what the runners-up had.Her low profile and lack of commercial value had even led to her not receiving invitations to some major competitions.This time, the organizers had invited her multiple times, not because they knew who she was, but because last year, a popular self-media account had snapped a photo of her at the venue with a mask, sparking curiosity and attention.Earlier this year, that same influencer casually mentioned her on Twitter, which made her the talk of the town. So, the organizers had taken an interest in her.Even so, after all these years, besides Nina, no one knew her true identity.Playing the piano and riding a jet-ski were worl

    Nina, afraid that Shannon might change her mind, quickly replied: I’ll go make the arrangements! I’ll make sure we clear up all those nasty rumors once and for all!When Shannon made her debut in the jet-ski competition, she didn’t want to show her face, and some very ugly rumors started to spread.There were claims that she was too ugly to show her face, and that was why she never revealed her identity. Some even went as far as to say that she was actually a man, since she couldn’t make it to the finals in the men's division and had to compete in the women's division to gain attention!And the reason she never showed her face was because she was afraid of being ridiculed.Such accusations were ridiculous. The organizers of the women’s jet-ski competition would obviously verify the contestants’ gender!But there were so many people who didn’t like Shannon, and these exaggerated, illogical rumors gained traction.They were so reckless simply because JJ never revealed her face to prove

    She and Emmett weren’t celebrities or influencers—why were they trending?And as for the whole “Emmett’s first love” story, besides Claire, no one else would be so childish or bold as to openly make such claims.Shannon couldn’t help but curl her lips. Claire was just pathetic.Did Claire really think that by buying a trending topic, Shannon would feel heartbroken when she saw it?Well, if she weren’t JJ, she probably would have been pretty upset!Shannon was scrolling through Twitter when Melany sent a few more screenshots: 【Picture】 【Picture】Melany: These comments aren’t bought trolls, I’ll do a live stream of me doing a headstand and washing my hair!The screenshots Melany sent showed several popular comments, all mocking Shannon.The most liked and commented on one read: Tsk tsk, a flash marriage is definitely true love, but true love can’t be obtained! But Mrs. Dunn is still lucky—such a rich husband!The trending topic had escalated quickly, and the top three comments were all

    On the other end of the line, Claire let out a light laugh: “Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to ask if Miss Heath would be attending the jet-ski competition in L City on the 17th. I have tickets, and if you’re interested, I can have someone send them to you.”It was clear that Claire was quite smug.Shannon sneered: “No need to trouble yourself, Miss Winslow. I already have tickets.”“Well, it seems like Miss Heath will be attending the competition. We’ll see you in L City on the 17th, then.”Claire paused for a moment: “I heard JJ will take off her mask. I’m really curious to see what kind of person could keep Benjamin thinking about her for all these years.”Shannon had been pretty upset, but when she heard Claire’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh.Hearing Shannon’s laughter, Claire frowned: “Miss Heath, aren’t you curious?”Shannon stifled her smile. She was actually looking forward to seeing Claire’s reaction when JJ revealed her face!She cleared her throat and said, “Nothing,

    Emmett was rarely taken aback. His dark eyes fixed on the closed wooden door in front of him, and a faint smile tugged at his lips: “Mrs. Dunn will only be you.”His deep voice came through the phone, laced with a hint of a smile, and Shannon’s face instantly flushed.Although he hadn’t said it outright, the implication was clear enough for anyone not to be foolish.Shannon couldn’t help but smile, her lips curling upward, the joy in her lychee-shaped eyes reflecting like sunlight dancing on water.“Oh.”She tried to keep her composure, responding somewhat reservedly.But inside, she was giddy with happiness.Shannon covered her mouth quickly, afraid that she might burst into laughter.“Have you eaten yet?”Shannon, still caught up in the excitement, was taken aback: “!”She hadn’t eaten since she woke up!She felt a little embarrassed: “Not yet.”“Are you planning to eat now?”Her face turned red as she sheepishly replied, “Mm.”The fact that she hadn’t eaten yet just showed how late

    After chatting with Melany, Shannon remembered the trending topic on Twitter and decided to check it again.To her surprise, the trending topic had already disappeared, and even the main search keywords barely brought up any relevant information.She smiled slightly, knowing without a doubt that this quick action was undoubtedly Emmett’s doing.Honestly, the trending topic didn’t matter much anyway. With the competition just a few days away, and with the event organizers pulling in plenty of investment and inviting over thirty media outlets, her plan to reveal her face after removing the mask would make JJ’s identity as Shannon known to the entire internet in minutes.The public who "pity" her now would surely be in for a painful shock.Oh, I’ve become a bit... wicked, she thought to herself.She smiled as she pressed her lips together and exited Twitter, walking towards the piano room.Practice piano!But halfway there, Shannon suddenly realized—her priority right now might not be pi

    The gym still carried the faint scent of orange and the heat from Shannon’s workout.Emmett walked over to the fascia gun, bent down to pick it up, and placed it back where it usually rested.The position wasn’t quite right. Mrs. Dunn still wants to lie, he thought with a tsk.Since the near “capture” in the gym yesterday, Shannon hadn’t dared to work out in the afternoon anymore.She had gone to bed early last night, waking up early this morning.After having breakfast with Emmett, she helped him with his tie and sent him out of the villa. She watched as his black Bentley drove away before heading back inside to change into her workout clothes.It wasn’t ideal to do intense exercise right after breakfast, so she rested for an hour. Then, after coordinating with Melany on their weekend “plan,” she began her workout.It had been a while since she last exercised, and even though she had used the fascia gun the day before, her muscles were still sore. Shannon gritted her teeth and pushed

    Shannon woke up at 7 a.m. and, opening her eyes, realized that Emmett was unusually still in bed. She blinked, staring at the man sleeping beside her, her gaze quickly falling on his long, thick eyelashes.Those lashes were too dense and long!Was Emmett a “lash genius”?Back in the day, when she was bored and read novels from Melany, many romance stories described the female protagonist's lashes as being long enough to resemble little brushes.Every time she read that, Shannon thought it was exaggerated.But now, seeing Emmett's lashes, she realized she had been wrong all along.His lashes were practically little brushes!She admired them for a while, noticing that Emmett was still deep in sleep with no sign of waking.Her gaze shifted to his lips, and suddenly, she wanted to touch them.But due to guilt, her hand trembled throughout the whole process.However, Emmett remained unaware, his breathing steady, still not showing any sign of waking up.In the end, with a trembling hand, s

    When Emmett walked into the venue, Claire finally let out a satisfied smile.She still hadn’t spotted Shannon, which likely meant Shannon was too afraid to face the reality.No worries, though. She would bring that reality right to her doorstep!Claire looked over at Emmett sitting in the VIP seats and couldn’t help raising an eyebrow.On the big screen, JJ, in a red and black protective suit, was holding a helmet in her left hand, wearing a purple floral mask as usual.This face, hidden for ten years, would finally be revealed today!After the opening ceremony, all the contestants went backstage to prepare.The jet-ski competition was divided into male and female groups. The women’s group had twelve participants, divided into two heats in the morning, while the men’s group had more competitors and would compete in the afternoon.The weather in L City was perfect today, and it was the weekend, so the event was packed with people.The camera on the big screen turned toward the ocean, w

    That night,Claire checked her phone several times, but Shannon hadn’t replied to her messages.She wasn’t bothered, though. It was useless to bury her head in the sand.From what she knew, Emmett had bought a high-speed train ticket to L City for 7 AM tomorrow.Even if Shannon didn’t show up, tomorrow she would still get the footage.She couldn’t wait to see, when Emmett was at the event tomorrow, if Shannon would still be able to keep pretending!Just wait!She had already bribed a lot of media, so the moment Emmett appeared at the competition tomorrow, the internet would be flooded with news about "Emmett’s first love."She couldn’t beat JJ, but would she lose to Shannon?Ha.At 6 AM in A City, the sky hadn’t fully brightened yet, and Owen could barely keep his eyes open.He couldn’t understand why Emmett was taking the early train to L City.If he wanted to go, why did he have to drag him along?Owen, still sleepy, squinted at Emmett, who was sitting in the driver’s seat beside hi

    After hanging up, Shannon nervously glanced at Melany and Nina. "I’m so hungry, can we go eat now, my beautiful sisters?"Nina immediately nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, yes! The hotel restaurant is ready! JJ, you need to rest before tomorrow’s competition, so we’ll keep it simple tonight. After the event’s over tomorrow morning, I’ll take you somewhere nice!"Melany, standing nearby, hummed smugly. "Once the competition is over, your JJ might not be going with you to eat anything nice!"Nina, confused, blinked. "Huh? Why?""Of course, because she’ll be with her husband! Didn’t you hear her just now?"Shannon blushed and couldn’t take Melany’s teasing anymore. She rushed over and tackled her. "That’s enough, Melany! Keep teasing me, and I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!""I’m so scared! What will you say when I point out those missed calls?"Shannon froze for a moment. "You’re the best, you’re the best! I’m so hungry. May I please have dinner, the best Melany in the worl

  • Love Unbreakable   Chapter 442: Sorry, Emmett

    September 16th happened to fall on a Saturday.Shannon used a short trip with Melany as an excuse and took the high-speed train to L City early in the morning."You’re hiding this from your husband, what are you going to do when you take off the mask tomorrow?"Shannon had just replied to Emmett's message and froze for a moment. "Should I tell him the truth now?"Melany snatched her phone away. "Forget it. Telling him now won’t make a difference! Wait until tomorrow. If he’s angry, just say you wanted to give him a little surprise!""Besides, it’s still unclear if he’s even coming to the event tomorrow."Hearing this, Shannon couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. "Wow, Melany, you’re amazing! Why didn’t I think of that?"Melany raised her eyebrows smugly. "Eh, it’s no big deal, I’m world’s third at this. You really need to read more romance novels! All these tricks, I picked them up from novels!""…"Recently, Shannon had been training intensely, and it seemed like she was constantl

    Emmett looked at her with a faint smile. "I want to watch the moon a little longer. After all, my Mrs. Dunn doesn’t let me look at her."Shannon froze, not daring to ask again, and hurriedly ran back to the room and got into bed.Standing outside on the balcony for a while earlier, her hair had mostly dried.She pulled the light blanket over herself, lying down and glancing at the balcony. "Aren’t you tired?"She had to get up early tomorrow for training, and they wouldn’t see each other all day. Tonight, she wanted to hold him more.She didn’t know why, but being in Emmett’s arms made her feel secure and a strange, indescribable happiness filled her heart, making her feel content and happy.Emmett glanced at her and answered with actions.He closed the balcony door and walked to her bed, sitting at her side. "I haven’t showered yet.""Ah!" Shannon sighed in regret. "Well, should I sleep first then?"He nodded, reaching out to pat her head.Shannon yawned again, her eyes becoming mist

    Realizing this, Shannon felt warmth spread across her chest. She raised her leg and walked over to Emmett, wrapping her arms around him from behind."Emmett."Leaning against his broad shoulder, she said slowly, "I miss you a little today."Emmett clicked his tongue lightly, holding her hand, and turned to look at her. "What a coincidence, me too."He turned, wrapped his arm around her waist, and with his other hand, gently touched the corner of her lips. "Does it still hurt?"Shannon froze for a moment, then replied, "No, it doesn’t hurt anymore. It never did!""Mm."His dark eyes flickered slightly, and he responded in a soft murmur, though his hand remained near her lips.Shannon could clearly feel the texture of his fingers as they brushed over her lips, making her feel slightly parched. She instinctively pressed her lips together and, unable to resist, pushed his hand away. "I need some water."Emmett gave her a deep look, turned, and entered the room. He returned with a glass of

    Shannon didn’t take Melany’s words seriously. She had already thought about Melany’s guess, but it was utterly unfounded!If Emmett had known she was JJ from the start, why didn’t he just say so when Claire kept mentioning that JJ was a jet ski racer? Why didn’t he just tell her?Clearly, Emmett had no idea who she was!As the red light came on ahead, Shannon slowly stopped the car and took out her phone. It was nearly eight o'clock now.Emmett had sent her a message with a picture.Curious, Shannon opened it and saw that it was a photo of the moon.Confused, she sent a question mark: “? What’s up?”Emmett didn’t answer her question but instead told her to focus on driving.Shannon felt awkward, instinctively looking out at the moon.Well, there was nothing special about it.If she had to say something, the moon tonight was especially round.The green light came on with only a few seconds left, and she put her phone down to start driving again.The traffic was smooth, and soon, Shanno

    In the end, it was Melany who compromised for Shannon’s happy marriage. She agreed to Shannon’s suggestion, and the two of them chose a Mexican restaurant with fewer people.After they finished their meal, Melany tactfully suggested, “Shae, I’ll take a cab home. You don’t have to drop me off.”Shannon shook her head. “It’s hard to get a cab. I’ll give you a ride.”Melany felt a bit relieved and quickly paid the bill before heading to the parking lot with Shannon.It was around seven o'clock, the sun was setting, and dusk had fallen. The traffic wasn’t great today, so they were moving at a slow pace.Just as Melany was about to ask Shannon if she knew whether Emmett would attend the event on the 17th, Shannon’s phone rang.With the green light ahead, Shannon couldn’t answer the call, so she let Melany press the answer button.It was Emmett calling, and the first thing he asked was what time Shannon planned to come home.His low, deep voice carried a barely perceptible hint of amusement

    Melany hadn’t napped. She woke up Shannon and, as she rubbed her neck, asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”She then handed her a tissue. “You’re sweating. What’s wrong?”Shannon took the tissue and wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, thinking back to the dream. Her face was still hot, and she could feel the heat rushing to her cheeks.She didn’t answer Melany, sitting up and blankly staring at the blankets on her bed.Melany thought she really had a nightmare and quickly went over to hug her. “Shae, don’t be scared, it was just a dream. Now that you’re awake, everything in the dream is fake!”Shannon pursed her lips and glanced at Melany’s face. Feeling guilty, she murmured, “Mm.”She gently pushed Melany away. “I’m going to wash my face.”“Okay.”Melany let go of her.Shannon shuffled into the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face.She looked at herself in the mirror. The cold water helped her wake up, but as soon as she looked into the mirror, she couldn’t help but recall
