Nathan stared at Emily's departing figure, contemplating chasing after her.Sophia grabbed his hand, "Nathan, let's go inside and sort out our matters first."Nathan impatiently shook her off, "You go ahead. I'm heading back to the office.""Are you going back to the office or going after Emily?" Sophia tried to suppress her anger, "Nathan, I'm carrying your child, and with so many people here, if something happens to me, your child could be in danger."Emily's white dress had already disappeared into the distance.Nathan gritted his teeth, reluctantly withdrawing his gaze, his tone not any better, "Sophia, you insisted on getting the car. Are you deliberately provoking Emily with those words?""My child is also her family. We are all family. I thought Emily would sympathize with my hardship of being pregnant, but I didn't expect her to be so heartless now." Sophia's eyes reddened, casting a resentful glance at him before lowering her head sadly.Nathan sighed, feeling somewhat helple
It's Emily again.It's her again!!Why is she always being compared to Emily?!She's a wealthy woman with a college degree, everything she wears, eats, and uses is branded. Why should she even be mentioned in the same breath as Emily, a girl from the slums?Sophia's chest heaved with anger, but she couldn't afford to fall out with Carol just yet.She had to endure until she officially became Mrs. Reed, until she married Nathan.Sophia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Fine, I'll call someone to fix it.""No, that's too expensive," Carol rolled her eyes. "We have money, but we can't just throw it away. It's just a toilet, not a big deal."Sophia scoffed, "Carol, calling a repairman isn't that expensive.""No, all the money comes from Nathan's hard work. You don't work, you don't get to decide how to spend it," Carol muttered, complaining under her breath. "You spend Nathan's money on luxury items every day, do you think I don't know? You even wear brand name perfume. Em
Now Emily really regretted asking that stupid question.Tonight, Mr. Satan was wild in bed. How could he seem like a gay who's not interested in women?The next day at noon, when Emily was cooking for her dad, she felt sore all over as if she'd been run over by a car.Emily felt like her previous thoughts were too narrow. How could a powerful man like Mr. Satan lack women by his side? He was even faithful, still yearning for that one girl till now, unlike Nathan, cheating within marriage. The difference between them was too stark.And she was enjoying Mr. Satan's money; no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like she was taking advantage.Busy with makeup work for the car show these past few days, Emily hadn't visited her dad for two days.When she arrived at the hospital, it was lunchtime.None of the other patients in the same room were around, only her dad standing by the window gazing outside."Dad," Emily called out, "What are you so lost in thought about?"William turned to s
When Mr. Satan returned home in the evening, Emily brought up the matter."Named Morgan, doing business in Europe?"Emily asked as she helped him towel off his hair. "Yeah, that's what my dad said."Mr. Satan replied, closing his eyes and enjoying her care. "Emily, do you really want to find him?""I'm not sure," Emily said, feeling conflicted. "He abandoned me and my mom. If I were to find him, I feel like I'd be betraying my mom."Mr. Satan understood her well. "Emily, let me be honest with you. If you want to find him, I can help, no problem. But do you know how many Morgans there are in Europe? Your chances of finding him are slim. Plus, have you thought about why he left without telling your mom? Was he afraid she wouldn't wait for him to come back?"Emily shook her head firmly. "No, she would have. I heard my mom used to love him a lot.""That's what's so strange," Mr. Satan said, taking her hand. "He clearly knew your mother was pregnant, and he knew she would wait for him. So
Emily had no reason to refuse.Makeup for thirty or forty car models: twenty thousand a day. Makeup for Jackson alone: one hundred thousand a day.And, doing makeup for men was easier than for women."Are you coming or not?" Jackson impatiently urged her.Emily gritted her teeth. "I'm coming!""Heh heh," Jackson chuckled. "Alright, send me your address, and I'll pick you up tomorrow."Emily hesitated for a moment and then quickly refused. "It's not necessary, really. Just tell me the location, and I can take the bus. I don't want to trouble you.""That place is only accessible to VIP clients," Jackson bluntly informed her. "Do you want me to wait for you at the entrance?"Emily paused, ultimately agreeing."I'm staying at the Hilton Hotel.""I'll add you as a WhatsApp friend, and you can send me your address."There was no choice. Emily complied with his request and provided her WhatsApp.After hanging up, his friend request quickly popped up.Although it felt a bit strange, Emily add
"I'm used to it," Emily said, "I've been living like this since I was little. I don't think it's hard."Jackson remained silent.He drove slowly, occasionally glancing at her through the rearview mirror.Emily's impact on him was too shocking, and he still couldn't quite react.Is this really the same woman from that day?When he took off her black-framed glasses, he could already see that she was actually quite attractive. But today she was wearing a different outfit, and it was not just "good-looking" that could describe her anymore.And he could tell, Emily wasn't wearing makeup.Actually, a T-shirt and a long skirt were very common women's clothing, and white was an ordinary color, but when worn on her, it felt a bit different.Emily's skin was quite smooth, and her features were very beautiful. Whether she wore makeup or not, it was evident that she had the foundation to be a beauty.Jackson nodded. He thought he understood Emily's situation. No wonder she was so beautiful but st
Jackson wasn't pleased; he dragged her to a nearby spot, his expression darkening.Emily's attention was all on Allen Parker; she didn't notice Jackson's worsening mood.Allen Parker had the demeanor of someone in power. He spoke with poise and carried himself with grace, a mature and successful man, much like Mr. Satan.And then there was his face...Emily recalled Mr. Satan's jawline in her mind. She had been too shocked earlier to take a good look at Allen Parker's jawline."Emily," Jackson couldn't bear it anymore, "Are you infatuated?"Emily snapped out of it, "What?""You've been staring at my brother, what's the meaning of that? Are you smitten with him already?"Emily didn't know how to respond.Seeing her silence, Jackson became even more annoyed, "Say something!"Emily felt that while she initially found Jackson intimidating, today, upon their second meeting, she realized he was just a big boy with a bad temper.She explained, "I just thought your brother resembled a friend
Arriving at the hospital entrance, Allen Parker gallantly stepped out of the car to help Emily open the door.Emily thanked him again."You don't have to be so polite. It only makes things feel more unfamiliar," he replied.After bidding him farewell and watching the red taillights disappear from view, Emily finally relaxed her tense nerves.While in the car just now, she carefully examined his jawline through the rearview mirror.They even had similar jawlines.But she dared not jump to conclusions.There was no time to cook today, so Emily bought some fruits downstairs and went upstairs to see her father.Just as she reached the door of the ward, she heard Sophia's voice from inside."...Me and Nathan? Yes, you guessed it right. I'm with Nathan now, and I'm also carrying his child.""...I'm the villain? If my parents hadn't been supporting you, you would have starved to death long ago! I just wanted her husband, that's all!"Emily couldn't bear to listen anymore. She forcefully push
