The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 66. Cayden's Privacy
When she arrived at the elevator door, Emily froze. Why did Cayden take her upstairs? There were just the Evans' rooms and work space on that floor. "Emily? Why are you thinking? Come on in," Cayden said. It turned out he was already in the elevator. Emily blinked. Faking a laugh, she stood by Cayden's side. "Sorry. I was too amazed. The elevator in my office isn't even this big," she replied spontaneously. "We actually prepared this elevator for Inston. Who would have thought, I would actually be using it now." Emily's face dimmed. She didn't mean to spread sadness. "I think Inston will be happy when he sees this elevator. He knows how much his family loves and cares about him," she tried to fix the situation. Cayden raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect Emily to prefer talking about the future rather than the past. "Yes, I also think so. Especially, when he finds out that his family members have increased in number. He must be happy to wake up and see the world again."

"Do you know why I take you here?" Cayden whispered again. Emily shook her head. "Why?" "Because you barely know me. All this time, I've only seen you from afar. When we met in France, I still pretended to be Prince. Now ...." Cayden took Emily's hand. "Only now can I show you who I truly am. I don't want you to be confused and doubtful anymore, Emily. I want you to know me well. I am a man who's trying to be cool, so I can meet you again without shame or regret." Emily bit her lip. Her tears would spill if she didn't do that. "I admit I was confused. But I never doubted you, Cay," she replied in a hoarse voice. "I know, you're the boy I had always been waiting for—someone I believed would come, someone who would keep his promises." While taking a deep breath, Emily looked at the wall that displayed Cayden's journey of life. There were only pictures of the people closest to him on that side. One of them was hers. "Just like you, Cay, I also have lots of stories to tell. I

"Please have a seat, Princess. Enjoy the most romantic instrumental piece without getting tired of standing," Cayden said softly. Now Emily understood why Cayden didn't sit in the middle of the bench. He left some space for her. After Emily sat beside him, Cayden closed his eyes. He played every melody with deep feeling. Emily enjoyed it with teary eyes. "Did you know?" Cayden whispered while kept playing. "Liebestraume is actually an original song. It has lyrics, the poems that describe three forms of love." Cayden's voice was so gentle. Emily couldn't help but look at him. Even though his eyes were still closed, his face was still enchanting. Smiling, Emily kept to listen to his words. "The first section is about exalted love, while the second is about erotic love." Cayden paused his words, adjusting to the rhythm of the song. "The most famous part is the one I'm playing. Liebestraume number three. This song is about mature love, the highest level of love that a person

Emily had tried to act normally at dinner. However, her head was too heavy to lift. Her gaze kept avoiding Gabriella. Gabriella knew that the girl was embarrassed. She also tried to act normally. However, she couldn't take her eyes off of her "future daughter-in-law". According to her, Emily was cute and sweet. "Emily, can I ask you something?" she asked when the opportunity came. Emily straightened her back. Her eyes widened, especially when she realized that Gabriella was smiling mysteriously at her. "Yes, Ma'am." The woman sitting opposite Emily leaned towards the table. "Do you have an ideal age for marriage?" Emily froze. Her eyes flickered, searching for the right answer. The others secretly found her expression funny. "I-I ... never thought about it." Gabriella's lips pursed. "How about you start thinking about it? Maybe that could be a clue when Cayden should propose to you." "Mom?" the guy who sat beside Gabriella whispered. "Why discuss that? Emily could be

"If I could have a daughter, I would like to have one like you. You're kind, beautiful, and intelligent. You're polite and also brave." Emily widened her eyes at the compliment. She felt flattered and shy at the same time. "Thank you, Mrs. Evans. I didn't know you thought that great of me," she said with her head slightly bowed. "You're that great, Sweetheart. Why do you sound doubtful?" Emily peeked out of the corner of her eye. Her smile turned wry. "Recently, I've done a lot of stupid things. I put Cayden in danger several times. I still regret it till now. I also feel that I haven't succeeded in making amends. My kindness towards Cayden is still lacking." Suddenly, Gabriella laughed. Her voice surprised Emily. "See? How sweet and kind you are. If you weren't the girl of choice, you would have left Cayden. I mean, he's sitting in a wheelchair. Other girls would have run away, but you," Gabriella stroked Emily's shoulder, "you chose to stay beside him. You helped him r

"C-Cayden? Didn't I tell you to be careful? It's a good thing you fell on me. Otherwise? It could have been dangerous," Emily scolded, still panting. Her heart was beating too fast. Unexpectedly, Cayden laughed. He stroked her hair, whispering, "I knew you wouldn't let me fall. You caught me swiftly. Are you hurt?" Emily shook her head slightly. "You'd better be more careful if you're afraid of hurting me. We're lucky the bed was behind us. Otherwise, we'd have landed on the floor. Now let's get up. It's not good if we stay here too long. Other people might misunderstand." Emily pushed Cayden's shoulder. However, the man was reluctant to move. "What would people think if they saw us like this? We didn't do anything. You just saved me from falling down to the floor." Cayden smiled mischievously. His index finger moved gently, erasing the wrinkles at her eyebrows. Seeing the curve of his lips, Emily finally understood. Her eyebrows knitted again, her head tilted slightly to th

"C-Cayden?" Emily whispered after a moment. Cayden was still hugging her. He didn't even budge. Occasionally, he rubbed her head with his cheek. "Please don't move yet, Emily. Stay like this. Just one minute. One more minute," Cayden held her tighter. Sensing his sincerity, Emily smiled slightly. She put her arm around Cayden's waist. Her eyes were closed, soaking in peace. "Okay. One minute." Cayden took Emily to lean on the pillow. Emily spontaneously adjusted her position to make it more comfortable. They were both half lying down now. "You know what? I really love you, Emily. I really, really love you," Cayden whispered as he stroked her arm. "Yes, I know." Cayden glanced. "How do you know?" Emily looked up slightly. "You take good care of me." "You also take good care of me. Does it mean you love me too?" Emily widened her smile. "I do love you, Cayden Evans." The curve of Cayden's lips grew bigger. Pressing his cheek against Emily's temple, he closed his

"Emily, are you sure you're okay?" Cayden asked in front of the door guarded by two police officers. Emily raised an eyebrow. She forced a smile on her face, nodding slightly. "I'm fine. Just a little tense." "You don't need to accompany me to face Seth, Princess. You can wait in that chair with Orion." Emily shook her head. "I can't let you meet that criminal alone. Even though he is helpless, his heart is still evil. He can do anything." "These two officers will accompany me. You don't need to be afraid." "Still, I want to accompany you. The protection they provide is different from the protection from me." While Orion sighed in amusement, Cayden smiled sweetly. "Fine. Stand behind me if you're scared." Emily wore a sullen look. "I won't be scared." Then, the officer opened the door. Cayden moved his wheelchair in first. Emily and Orion followed. Seeing their arrival, the man lying on the bed widened his eyes. He wanted to get up. However, the handcuffs on his ha

The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 3. The Best Experience
At a height of 186 meters from the road, Emily's eyes lit up. The room she had just entered had glass walls. The view of Auckland city was beautifully displayed behind it. "Welcome to the tallest tower in NZ, Uncle and Auntie. This tower is an icon of Auckland city, built in 1994 with a total height of 328 meters. From this floor, you can enjoy a 360° view of the city. Your dinner will definitely be very romantic and impressive," Summer explained enthusiastically. Emily smiled sweetly. While embracing Cayden's waist, she whispered, "We didn't choose the wrong guide." Then, she looked back at Summer. "Thank you, Little Guide. I really like this place." Summer smiled. A sense of pride filled her heart. While putting her hands on her hips, she nodded firmly. "Then, enjoy your dinner, Auntie. Please take a seat at the table we have prepared especially for you. After you are finished, Mama and I will return." "Where are you going? Aren't you having dinner?" Sky shook her h
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 2. Honeymoon
"Uncle Cayden! Aunt Emily!" Summer greeted as the newlyweds exited the arrival gate. Her hand holding a piece of cardboard swung. Cayden and Emily's names stuck on it were almost scattered in the air. When Emily waved back at her from a distance, the toddler's laughter echoed. Her feet bounced happily. However, seeing how the newlywed walked, her joy turned to surprise. "Oh, Mama? What's wrong with Auntie's legs? Why is she walking like that?" Hearing her daughter's remark, Sky flinched. The curve of her lips froze. "I don't think there's anything wrong with Emily," she denied hesitantly. "No, Mama. Auntie doesn't usually walk like that. She just looks weird. Are her legs still sore from standing so much at her wedding last week? Or maybe, the dress was too heavy, so her legs were tired?" Sky grimaced. "Summer, how about we stop talking about that? Emily is a perfectionist. Her mood will be ruined if she knows someone thinks she's weird. Don't you want to provide the best ho
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 1. The First Night
"My Prince, are you sure you won't regret coming back here, to my family's house? We can still rent a hotel for our first night if you want," Emily whispered as Cayden carried her to their room. Cayden laughed softly. His breath tickled her ear. "Isn't this our house too? What's wrong with coming back here?" "There's nothing wrong. It's just," Emily lowered her head to hide her embarrassment, "my parents and siblings live here too. Is it okay if we do it near their rooms?" "We'll do it in our own room, Emily. They can't peek. Besides, we've discussed this before, right? You don't mind." Cayden secretly felt amused with his wife. Emily winced a little. "Yes, I did. But at that time, I didn't think this far." "How far?" Cayden raised an eyebrow. Now they had arrived upstairs. Seeing their bedroom door, Emily's heart raced. She swallowed hard. "I didn't take into account of the distance between our rooms and the direction of the soundwave. We're only one wall away fro
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 108. Winning in Life
"Be happy in your new life, Emily. Don't cry anymore," Louis whispered. "I'm not a crybaby anymore, Louis," Emily replied. "Really? But you are crying now." Louis checked her eyes. "You're crying too." Louis shook his head. "I'm not crying. My eyes are just exposed to air conditioning." While Emily let out another laugh, a WO staff came over. "Mr. Harper, time for action." Emily was stunned to see the lemon plushie that the staff gave Louis. "Why is Yemon here?" Louis smiled mischievously. "Isn't he your favorite? He would be sad if he missed your special moment. So, he has to play a part too." "What part?" Louis took the ring box out of his pocket. After shaking them for a while, he put both rings into Yemon's secret pocket. "His magic bag always comes in handy," he winked. Emily sighed in disbelief. When Louis put on his sunglasses and went on errands, she could only shake her head in amazement. Her twin brother was always full of surprises. As soon as Louis e
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 107. Emily's Wedding
"What if we fulfill the promise that was postponed?" Emily whispered, making Cayden raise an eyebrow. "You mean NZ?" As Emily nodded, Cayden smiled. He looked at the phone. "Would you mind visiting the glow worms in the cave again, Summer?" he asked. "Uncle and Auntie, do you want to honeymoon in NZ?" Summer's voice grew lighter. Receiving nods from the bride and groom-to-be, laughter filled the air. "I like that option. Uncle and Aunt can take photos with the glowing worms. Then, I will take you to explore the north and south islands. We can do rafting, bungee jumping, hiking. We can do all the fun things together. I mean, you and Uncle Cayden while Mama and I. We'll do it together but separately!" Emily smiled sweetly at the thought of the excitement. "Oh, I can't wait for the honeymoon." "Just get married first, think about the honeymoon later," Sky said, amused. "But, I hope you won't regret choosing Summer as your guide." "Why should they regret, Mama? I am a
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 106. Summer's Condition
When Louis was interrogated, Emily rushed into the car. She couldn't wait to contact Alice via a video call. Her heart had not been calm since the police said that Sky and Summer had missed their flight. "Mrs. Hills?" Her feelings became even more chaotic when she saw Alice in the hospital. "What happened? Where are Sky and Summer? Why didn't they fly here?" Alice smiled slightly. "I'm sorry that my daughter and granddaughter had to cancel their appointment. Something happened earlier, but don't worry. The critical phase is over." Emily gasped. "Who is critical?" "Summer. Someone gave her almond milk at the airport. Her allergies flared up, and her epipen suddenly disappeared. Luckily, Sky took her to the medical room in time. Now she's being treated in the hospital." Emily covered her mouth with one hand. Her chest was tight. Her tears almost spilled. Cayden, who had just gotten into the car, widened his eyes when he saw her. Holding her shoulder, he whispered, "What's wr
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 105. A Hero
"How dare you hurt my future wife?" Cayden rebuked with burning hatred. Seth met Cayden's gaze with sharper eyes. His jaw throbbed. He was furious that none of his plans went smoothly. "Why is fate never on my side? Why?" Desperate, Seth finally pulled a gun out of his pocket. Seeing that, Cayden and Emily gasped. "Hey? Please don't be careless. Your punishment could be heavier if you kill us with a weapon," Cayden said while raising one hand in front of him. Seth's laughter became increasingly sinister. "Do you think I care? What's the difference between killing you with a stick, poison, or a bullet? They're all the same. They all can send you to hell!" Seth pointed a gun at Emily. His finger was ready to pull the trigger. Witnessing that, Cayden swallowed hard. He was too far to protect Emily. Now, he could only hope that Seth would just aim at him. "Do you think it's that easy to send us to hell? We are good people. Even if we die, we will go to heaven. You are the on
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 104. Emily in Action
Cayden jerked his body. He tried to get up from the chair. Unfortunately, the rope that tied him was too strong. "You coward! Your opponent is me, not Emily. Why do you keep involving her in our affairs, huh? Let her go!" Emily could only sigh in pity at her hiding place. Meanwhile, Seth, who had been silent for a while, was now laughing out loud. "Do you think my threats have been a joke all this time? Destroying you is my purpose in life. I will never stop until you get what you should get. Glen ...." Seth glanced at his partner in crime. "Let the show begin." "Okay, Bro." The man in the janitor uniform turned his laptop. Cayden's breath became louder and rougher. Meanwhile, Seth sat on a sofa. He was ready to witness Cayden's anger. His evil smile kept growing until Glen's eyebrows furrowed, and Cayden's face turned confused. "Hey!" Seth exclaimed, his eyes widened. "Is this a paused show? Come on, vent your anger! You don't mind your future wife having fun with ano
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 103. Tied to a Chair
After getting out of the elevator, Emily immediately approached the security guard. She explained the incident briefly, then asked where the CCTV room was. The security team immediately took actions. Several of them secured the impostor. Others started searching the area. The rest escorted Emily to the CCTV room. "How is it?" Emily asked when her patience ran out. The people there were working too slowly. "Sorry, Miss. All the CCTVs on the 3rd floor were off. We checked the CCTVs on the other floors. There was nothing suspicious." "What about the emergency stairs?" "Sorry, Miss. There's no CCTV in that area." Emily grimaced. "What about the parking lot in the basement? You can't possibly leave that area unmonitored, right?" The security guard checked the monitor again. Before he had time to find a clue, his colleague spoke up. "Miss, I found something odd." Emily shifted to another monitor. Two men are pushing a trolley of rubbish. "Could Cayden be inside one of th
