Emmett held his forehead with one hand as he sank into stormy contemplation.
Marina came up to him and said, “Hey, I need to go to the restroom.”
Emmett raised his eyes and snorted, “Sure.”
Marina raised her eyebrows, “We’re a couple. Shouldn’t you accompany me when I go to the
restroom?”
Weren’t they putting on a show? Emmett was already unusual after seeing Elaine Jones.
“Huh?” Emmett was shocked, looking at Marina, and sighed, “Alright then.”
He was reluctant to follow her.
Emmett was tall, and when he stood up, he drew everyone’s attention in the room.
Marina walked over and held Emmett’s arm.
Emmett’s muscles were tensed up, and he had a dirty look. But he hid it away immediately.
Emmett stood outside the washroom and said, “You go in, I’ll wait here.”
Marina giggled, “Alright, you wait me then.”
In other people’s eyes, the two of them were seemed to love each other.
Emmett lit a cigarette and smoked it silently.
Emmett had butterflies in his stomach.
Because… he missed her… He missed that little girl very much.
That passionate kiss of tonight was unable to suppress his desire but even increased his passion for it.
That little girl’s lips… were good.
And, of course, her body was even better.
Huff, huff, huff… Emmett was leaning against the wall, thinking about Elaine. His breathing was deep
and rapid, surprisingly.
In the meantime, a man walked in.
…
Emmett didn’t even notice this person as he only had Elaine Jones in his mind.
The man walked in and slunk into the female washroom.
As he entered, there was a sharp dagger holding in his hand.
He walked gently and slowly while trying to listen and identify the compartment.
Marina tidied up her clothes, opened the door, and walked out.
Whoosh!
A blast of cold air hit her!
Marina was well-trained. She reacted and dodged backward swiftly. In the meantime, she viciously
kicked, hitting the man’s wrist.
Dang! The dagger fell to the ground.
Obviously, the man was an assassin. He didn’t pick up the dagger but attacked Marina straightaway.
Firstly, the man tried to grab Marina by the throat.
Marina squinted as she cocked her head to the side and grab the man’s wrist. She could only outsmart
him as her strength was not as strong as a man.
Marina grabbed the man’s wrist. With a low growl, she pressed down hard on the man’s acupoint of the
wrist.
“Ah…” the man stifled a cry of pain. Marina’s hand had already reached the man’s chest, and she
poked down hard.
“Crack!” Two ribs of the man were fractured.
The man was racked in pain and stepped back.
Marina leaped up, raising her knee, and kicked the man by the chin.
A fatal blow!
The man fell on the ground hard, dead.
“How dare you sneak up on me? You were still wetting your bed when I was training to kill!”
Marina was gasping slightly as she clapped her hands and flipped her hair.
She grunted at the man and washed her hands. She then walked away with pride.
Marina got mad as she went out.
She wanted to roar but could only grin and say, “Good one, Emmett Smith! You’re guarding outside and
not even coming in to rescue me? The man that just entered was trying to kill me! Didn’t you hear the
noise when we were fighting?”
…
“Huh?” Emmett furrowed his brows, looking at Marina.
“Trying to kill you?” Emmett was shocked and strode into the washroom.
He squatted down to check on the dead man, and his face darkened.
“Seems like Juliana couldn’t stand it anymore.”
Obviously, this was an assassin sent by Juliana.
Marina was heartbroken. “Emmett Smith, what were you thinking outside just now? With you martial art
skills, you could have noticed it. Were you distracted?”
Emmett was speechless for a moment.
Yes, he was indeed in a world of his own just now.
He was just thinking about Elaine Jones.
“Aren’t you fine now?”
Emmett stood up and washed his hands, deadpan.
Marina leaped to her feet, “Yeah, I’m fine! That’s because I’m Marina Clooney! If it was for someone
else, he would have been killed! Anyway, I’m acting this for you; can’t you care about your partner? If it
was for that girl that you like, I guess she would have been…”
“That’s enough!” Emmett yelled at Marina.
Who did this woman think she was?
How dare she take Elaine as an analogy.
Emmett said in a cold voice, “Your existence is meant to have danger. Otherwise, what would I need
you for?”
Marina was struck dumb.
Her heart was breaking.
In fact, she knew it since she was drawn into this mess. She was meant to take cover for Elaine and
protect her too.
Just that…
It was still hurtful when Emmett said this to her unabashedly.
The way he treated Elaine was so nervous, so considerate, so loving…
Just now, in the room before the door was opened, she saw Emmett rushing towards Elaine with his
internal strength to protect her.
But now… When everything was on Marina, Emmett’s attitude had changed.
He didn’t care about her safety. He didn’t even notice the fight just now.
At that moment, Marina that never afraid of any assassin sneaking up on her was now tearing.
…
Emmett was already heading out and said, “Still not leaving? Someone will be here to take care of it
very soon.”
Marina smiled miserably at the mirror, sniffed her nose, and followed out.
She still had to pretend to be the most intimate couple with Emmett in front of the crowd.
The crowd was watching Emmett holding Marina left Y Nightclub under the protection of the
bodyguards.
Juliana was bent out of shape inside the car in the dark.
“Damn it! I can’t believe it didn’t succeed! Emmett Smith, you bastard, protecting Marina so well!
Damn!”
Her men said, “No worry. Emmett Smith won’t always be around protecting that woman. We still have
plenty of chances.”
Juliana was grinding her teeth in a fury, “Next time I’m gonna splash acid and ruin her face! Wait for it!”
Emmett and Marina were distantly seated in the back of the car.
Emmett didn’t even look at Marina. He just glanced at the night, thinking deeply.
Marina glimpsed at the man beside her.
She couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
He was really handsome!
His beauty was unparalleled.
But why… didn’t he have a single look on her?
Pity…
They kept silent all the way back to Emmett’s villa.
Marina followed Emmett out of the car and walked into the villa.
She had been living with Emmett for the past few weeks.
There was news about the two of them cohabiting due to reporters snapping them leaving the villa in a
car in the early morning.
It was overwhelming…
“Get some rest.”
Emmett talked politely and went upstairs without looking at Marina.
Marina was baffled and gave a wry smile.
Then, she walked to a guest room on the first floor.
People wouldn’t imagine that the two of them were living together like this.
…
Emmett took off his clothes when he went back upstairs to his room. He walked into the bathroom,
feeling weary.
He soaked into the warm water, closing his eyes.
There was still something on his mind.
As expected, Juliana was adamant. The way she chose to deal with any love rival was pure
destruction!
Luckily, he had Marina with him. Otherwise, Elaine would be facing all of these assassinations.
Having lingering fears…
Whenever Emmett thought of Elaine facing this kind of assassinations, he had the heebie-jeebies.
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine…
Ah… Emmett slapped on the water.
Water splashed everywhere.
“Can’t I think of something else?”
Emmett opened his eyes, panting in anger.
Little girl… I missed you… I wanted to…
Emmett wrapped himself in a blanket and lay on the bed.
His eyes were wide opened, looking at the ceiling dazedly.
He turned off the lights and forced himself to sleep.
But he couldn’t sleep at all. The scene of him kissing Elaine tonight was flashing through his mind.
Emmett turned on the lights again.
He sat up and looked out again at the deep night, feeling nervous…
Suddenly, he seemed to have decided on something.
Gosh! Let him being capricious one more time!
Emmett opened his closet and looked for his clothes.
A few minutes later, Emmett sneaked downstairs, wearing black.
Kayden was waiting for him outside. He opened the car door for Emmett when he saw him coming out
in a black outfit.
“Young master, it’s so late. Where are you going?”
Emmett answered back, “Turned off the headlights. Go to Elaine’s house.”
“Huh? To where?”
Kayden started the car and turned off the headlights as instructed by Emmett. But he was still taken
unawares.
“Didn’t I just say it? To Elaine’s house! You’re too wordy!”
Emmett closed his eyes, leaning back in the seat while pressing his temples.
In fact, he was blaming himself for being incompetent.
Why couldn’t he hold on for a few more days?
Kayden twitched her mouth, not daring to speak, and drove to the set destination.
