CHAPTER 45: EMMA

I didn't have to come to Marco, the arrogant asshole made his way to me instead.

I conceal my small smile by raising my glass to my lips, oh, I hope I'll be able to hold my laugh when he hears the news.

"Surprised to see you here," he begins, flashing me his Cassanova smile.

I cringe internally at the sight of it.

"I thought this wasn't your kind of event," he finishes.

"You're right," I admit. "But, I have to be by my husband's side."

"You two get along now huh?" He hints at an obvious poke to see if Liam told me about what triggered the event of late between them.

"We just fight less, a called for a truce of some sort," I moderate.

He says, "I guess nothing is impossible."

I laugh softly, "So, you and Serena? What's that about?" I can't help but ask.

"It's something alright. I enjoy her company, as she does mine," he glances at Serena, who's glued to her father's side like a kid to their parent in the mall on Christmas morning.

I smirk, he thinks I'm some fool.
