Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 791
"Suicide?" Emily was again shocked.
She could never have imagined that someone like Addy, who was as perfect as a goddess, confident and popular on the stage would commit suicide. Before that, she thought that committing suicide would only happen to extreme people.
Addy nodded and continued slowly, "I had a serious car accident. At that time, my heart was torn, and I almost died. Simon spent the whole night in the emergency room and saved me!"
Emily licked her lips. With some sweat on her palm, she unconsciously clenched the paper towel and asked, "Was it the night he came back from the trip?"
She would never forget that night. It shattered all her dream and broke her heart. The divorce agreement, and everything she heard in the hospital...
"It was!" Addy nodded.
That night was unforgettable not only for Emily but also for Addy. Simon's cold refusal made her so sad that she lost the faith to live. But she could finally learn to let it go because of dying once.
"Simon is right. Four years ago, when I chose to stay in Newley City and did not return with him, we had already ended our relationship! It was me who didn't give up. I thought he would wait for me... I don't blame him. I don't blame you, and I don't blame fate either! We are not wrong. We are only wrong in time!" At last, Addy felt a little lost. Then she smiled again and said sincerely, "Emily, if you don't mind, I will give you and Simon my blessing!"
"..." Emily was astonished.
As the night grew darker, the four of them finished their meals and left the western restaurant.
Sean drove over just like Simon, and their parking spots were relatively close. After walking out of the western restaurant, he walked to the car with Addy in his arms and opened the door gently. After they both got into the car, Addy lowered the window and waved to them, saying, "Simon, Emily, we'll go first. Bye!"
"Bye-bye..."
As the car left their sight, Emily's hand was still raised in the air.
After Simon said, "Let's go," she realized her silly action, quickly put down her hand, and followed him silently.
Walking to the car, Simon was the first to come to the side of the passenger seat. Emily thought he was going to open the door for her. But unexpectedly, he suddenly stretched out an arm and pressed her against the door.
In the darkness of the night, Simon asked with his two handsome eyebrows raised meaningfully, "Mrs. Chin, is there anything else you need to know?"
Emily bit her lip.
Her eyelids fluttered slightly, and her face looked dull like an overwhelmed wife.
The divorce agreement was not put by Simon. And Addy now had a fiance...
All signs showed that Simon and Addy were not together, just like Boyd and her. And their divorce was not because of each other. The depression in Emily's heart seemed to have dissipated with the night breeze. But there was something still haunting her heart, like a deep and shallow shadow.
She clenched her hands by her pants little by little. Looking uncertain, she raised her head and asked, "Simon, can you let go of Addy?"
"Of course!" Simon said in an annoyed and low voice.
He even slightly bent his slender, jade- like hand pressing against the car door as if he was trying to control his impulse not to knock on her head.
However, Emily puckered her mouth. After a few seconds of silence, she asked in a muffled voice, "What about the photo in your wallet..."
"What?" Simon raised his eyebrows once again.
Emily lowered her eyes and happened to look at Simon's right trouser pocket, where a hard piece of his wallet bulged out.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I know that the photo is in the innermost interlayer of your wallet. You've been carrying it with you all the time in the past four years. Are you sure that you're not betraying yourself?"
Simon put away his arm that was leaning on the side of her head. He folded it in front of his chest lazily and lowered his head to look at her. His eyes were full of faint smiles, but he didn't say anything. "Will you stop that?" Emily couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Keeping that post, Simon laughed even happier.
Emily felt suffocated. She went forward and pulled out the wallet in his trouser pocket, trying to take out the photo right at the spot.
However, after opening the folded wallet, she found nothing in the interlayer.
She raised it and looked at it under the streetlamp for a long time. After repeating it several times, she couldn't replace anything in it. Looking stunned, Emily murmured, "How come? I remember there is a picture of you and Addy together here. It's you and Addy on it, with the line "Love of my life." How come it's gone!"
"I burned it!" Simon said with a low and deep voice.
"..." Emily was shocked.
Simon took a step forward, opened the car door, stuffed her inside at the same time, and fastened the seat belt for her.
The black Cayenne drove away from the western restaurant, but it did not go home immediately. After getting off the bridge, it stopped at the entrance of a brightly lit shopping mall halfway.
As soon as the car stopped, Simon quickly got off from the driver's seat.
Emily tilted her head to look at him and asked in confusion, "What are we doing here?"
Simon didn't say a word. He directly walked around the front of the car and opened the car door on her side. He took her hand and walked towards the mall with vigorous strides. Emily couldn't break away and had to follow him with quick steps.
Although Simon walked fast, he slowed down deliberately, thinking of her being pregnant.
Going up from the elevator on the first floor, Simon went straight to a men's accessories shop on the third floor as he planned to. There were all kinds of men's wallets.
The salesperson stood in front of the counter and smiled reverently and respectfully, "Good evening, mister, madam. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Simon did not answer. Instead, he looked at Emily and asked, "Mrs. Chin, pick one!"
Emily looked at him, feeling puzzled.
The salesperson had already understood and said enthusiastically to her, "Madam, allow me to introduce these wallets to you. Many styles are suitable for your husband! This is a classic leather style. This is the newly listed sea-style series. And this is a jade-colored blue crocodile-skin style. Which one do you like?"
Being pulled by the salesperson, Emily walked back and forth in the dazzling counter.
She felt difficult to choose. Behind her, Simon was urging her, "Mrs. Chin, have you made your choice?"
