"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
"Aren't you embarrassed to do it in front of Inston?" Emily whispered. Cayden shook his head. "I actually want to provoke him. If he also wants to kiss a girl, he has to get up quickly." Emily chuckled softly. She was shy, but when Cayden bit her lips, she kissed him back. Right at that time, Orion came in with a disheveled expression. Emily startled. "Orion?" She quickly got down from the table she had been sitting on. "Please don't misunderstand. Cayden just—" "Let's discuss that later. Now you have more important matters to handle," Orion interrupted with a serious expression. Emily's eyes instantly narrowed. "Did Russell cause trouble again?" "Not Russell but ...." Orion handed her the phone. Seeing the title of an article, Emily's jaw dropped, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Who published this article?" she asked with a high arch of her eyebrows. She didn't want to read any further. After just a few sentences, her chest was already burning. "Actually, it's not
Emily looked down. She forgot that from the wheelchair, Cayden could see her expression more clearly. "Do you still think about those people?" Cayden glanced at her arm. He knew what Emily hid behind her waist. "Do you want to tell me about your annoyance? I promise I won't be offended." He nodded reassuringly then. Since Emily still didn't answer, he reached out his hand. "If you have trouble telling me, just give me the hints. I can learn it myself." Emily knew she couldn't avoid him. Biting her lip, she put her phone in Cayden's hand. "Defender of truth?" Cayden laughed when he read Emily's fake account name. "I thought they're too noisy. So, I wanted to silence them a bit." While smiling, Cayden read the comments. He sighed in amusement every time he found a reply from Emily. After he finished, he looked at her with great emotions. "You really don't like other people talking about me, hmm?" Emily's lips pursed, her hands intertwined in front of her stomach. "I actu
Since returning from T City, Emily had become more enthusiastic about working on her projects. She monitored all process carefully, and made sure the finished product was perfect. Even though she was busy, she still made time to contact Cayden. Occasionally, she also contacted Summer and Sky, without the other's knowledge of course. "Look at this, guys. Isn't it perfect?" Emily showed a shirt in front of her phone camera. Sky and Summer simultaneously leaned their heads forward. The screen was full of their faces. "Is that what Cayden will wear?" "Oh, I think Uncle Cayden would look really cool at the photo shoot." Emily laughed at the expressions of the mother and daughter. "I do think so. Do you guys like the design?" Sky and Summer nodded. "It looks cool. I think the material you used is comfortable," Sky said. "And soft! I think it would be good as a blanket!" Summer exclaimed. Sky spontaneously nudged her daughter's arm. "Summer, that's a shirt. Why do you want
"Welcome to the Savior, My Prince, and this is my office," Emily spread her arms, presenting her favorite room. Cayden entered while chuckling. He liked her enthusiasm and bright smile. "Your room is very nice, Princess. You must be comfortable working here." Cayden looked around. All items were neatly arranged, including the mannequins lined up on one side. "Is that what I'll wear later?" he pointed out. Emily nodded. "Is it good? You can try it later." "The design is cool. I think the material is comfortable too." Emily chuckled at the comment. "You know? Summer thought so too. She said, that shirt would be comfortable as a blanket." "Blanket?" Cayden widened his eyes. "She said your shirt would be very wide when being spread out, like a blanket." Shaking his head in amusement, Cayden continued his observations. What caught his attention the most were the figures on the walls. The contents were not photos of people, but design guides and basic things. "You know
"Why would I care if Ace didn't like it? She has no right to control my attitude," Louis said while scratching his nose. Cayden smiled at his awkwardness. "You really don't care about her? I thought you came here because you wanted to ask how she was doing." Louis' eyebrows rose to press against his forehead. While pursing his lips, he fixed his sitting position. "I'm here because I still respect my sister's choice. You came from afar. Of course I have to welcome you. But," Louis hesitated, "how is your cousin? Is she doing well?" Cayden almost laughed. "Why don't you contact her directly? Haven't you saved her contact?" Louis' expression turned sullen. Grace did not reply to his messages. He suspected that Cayden knew about that. "Aren't you happy if I approach your cousin?" "Not me, but your sister. If I may give you advice, think again. Is Ace really the right girl for you?" Louis rolled his eyes like a teenager who didn't like being advised by his parents. "Tsk, th
"Do you know?" Brandon said in a low, hoarse voice. "I've liked Emily since I first saw her on the news. I even gave her a flower on our first day of school." The next second, he chuckled, his head bowed slightly. "Unfortunately, she refused the flower from me. Maybe because I was too young, I wasn't heartbroken at that time. I kept trying to get close to her, until finally, we became friends." Cayden did not reply. Instead, he intertwined his fingers in front of his stomach. His back leaned against the sofa. It was like he was watching an exciting movie. "One day after the holidays, Louis came with bad news. He said, Emily met you. You two promised to meet again in 20 years, and intended to date. That was the first time my heart was broken." "You were very small at that time, but you had thought about love?" Cayden said making Brandon smile wryly. "Have you never watched TV? That was one of my entertainments in the past. From the TV shows, I thought that loving someone wa
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
"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
"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
"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
"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
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
"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
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
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
