After driving for a while, she recalled Emma’s words. To celebrate? Celebrate what?
Emma returned to her home in the Back Bay District after a week away

“Mayline, you’ve had a tough time dealing with that pushy Jane and Soraya duo these past few days,” she said empathetically
“That’s not true. I don’t find it hard. You’ve been treated unfairly. Those two are not easy to get along with Mayline replied bitterly
Remembering the night when they openly discussed Emma, implying she was after the Taylor family’s wealth and status, Mayline fet upset. They even suggested that Emma was showing her true colors now that she knew she wouldn’t benefit, and yet Dr. Taylor didn’t bother to defend her. The thought of it
made her heart ache for Emma
She wanted to give Emma a slight nudge about it but feared that she might think Mayline was meddling too much. Feeling awkward about intervening in family matters, Mayline eventually returned to her kitchen, asking. “Emma what would you like for supper? Just let me know, and I’ll prepare it for you.”
No need, Mayline. I’ve already eaten out You should rest early too,” Emma replied.
Emma swapped her shoes for her slippers and promptly headed upstairs. Since Luc wasn’t home, she decided to stay over for the night

Just as she lay down, she heard hurried footsteps climbing the stairs. Luc returned home around 11 PM with a driver, Noticing that Emma’s slippers were

He gently pushed open the bedroom door, upon seeing the figure on the bed covered with a thinquit, a flicker of starlight seemed to dance in depths of his profound eyes, like the twinkling stars of the night
He silently entered the room, standing at the edge of the bed. Despite appearing calm, a fiery passion was undeniable within him. After gazing at Emma for
a while, he went to take a shower
Half an hour later, after his shower and putting on his sleepwear, he lay down next to Emma, covered himself with the blanket, and inhaled her familiar
fragrance. He held Emma from behind, burying his head in her glossy hair, savoring the scent..
Emma’s body stiffened, her back rigid. Wasn’t he supposed to sleep in the study? Judging by his cold demeanor these past few days, wasn’t he wanting for her to apologize?
As long as she didn’t voluntarily apologize, promising never to make the same mistake again, he would never return to the bedroom, choosing instead to sleep in the study, leaving her isolated outside the door. What was wrong with him today? Was he acting strangely?
Luc sensed that the person in his arms was stiff, indicating she was awake but unwilling to turn around, if it were any other time, she would have cuddled closer, seeking affection:

But the more she pushed!

“Let go Emma’s icy voice resounded, carrying an absolute determination that sent a chill through Luc’s heart
Emma, what are you doing?”
Luc disliked her disobedient and cold attitude. This was a huge contrast to her usual demeanor, which made him quite unhappy
“Let go
Luc seemed not to hear her, and Emma turned sharply, her eyes shining like obsidian, piercingly cold as she glared at him!
But Luc couldn’t see her determined face in the dark; he just thought she turned to him, so he leaned over and kissed her lips, fery and forceful, breaking through her defenses. Emma twisted her body, trying to break free, her hands hitting him, but he found it merely ticklish, even stimulating his desire. He

A senes of ‘ding ding ding” voice messages broke the moment–it was Lindsey’s Instagram message from the phone on the bedside table.
Seeing that display p picture, Luc’s passion extinguished instantly. He picked up his phone in a panic, pulled open the door, and rushed towards the study
Emma’s top had slipped down to her shoulders, her pale face devoid of color. After pulling her top back up and locking the bedroom door securely, she leaned against the door and slid down to sit on the floor
Almost half an hour passed before she mustered enough energy to stand up and go to the bathroom to shower. She scrubbed every area he had touched until her skin nearly peeled off. She gargled with mouthwash countless times until her mouth turned red and swollen before leaving the bathroom.
She let out a cold laugh. She had to thank him for his timely interruption, his voice message that saved her

Luc naturally slept in the study again. As long as he finished the call with Lindsey, he would dutifully sleep in the study, as if fulfilling some unspoken
agreement.
