She was so embarrassed!
Burping in front of a super handsome man was humiliating.
Emmett pulled Elaine's small hand and said dryly,
"You'll be living with me. I'll take you jogging after dinner every day. You are too weak, and your
diaphragm muscles aren't good."
Elaine blinked.
Diaphragm muscles?
She was just full, okay?
Wait. What had he just said?
Living with him?
What did it mean?
Could it be ... he wanted to marry her?
She grew shy.
She felt a sharp pain in her finger when her imagination ran wild.
"No!"
She screamed, and her arm trembled.
Emmett was pinching her ring finger hard.
It hurt!
"It hurts! Stop it...."
She frowned in pain.
She cursed him in her heart.
"It hurts so much! Let go of my hand! What are you doing? If you want to kill me, just say it! It hurts!"
...
She cried out with tears in her eyes, trying her best to free her hand but failing.
He finally let go of her finger. She immediately pulled back her hand and blew it.
"What were you doing? Don't you know how strong you are? It's a human finger, not a stone! Were you
trying to cripple me? I hate you! I'm sick of you! I hate you!"
He just picked up his tablet and continued to work with a poker face.
She rambled on, but he did not argue back.
She snapped.
She kicked him on the waist. The pain numbed her foot. Damn it, what was Bad-bear Smith made of?
Even his waist was so hard.
It hurt her ankle....
"Say something! Are you mute?"
"After bullying me, you give me the silent treatment! I don't like it!"
"Talk to me! Speak! You can't bully me for no reason!"
"My finger is going to break!"
She leaned over on him to snatch the tablet in his hand, throwing it on the sofa beside them.
She grabbed his ear and shook it repeatedly.
Emmett was annoyed and hugged her waist. He looked up at her and helplessly said,
"You're not hiccupping, are you?"
Well....
That shut her up.
She opened her starry eyes wide and cuddled up on his legs, frowning to feel it.
He was right. She stopped burping.
It was magical!
Hooray!
Her round eyes narrowing, she said, "You are right!"
He reached out to nip the tip of her nose and said,
"You distracted me, and I didn't even save the data I had just collected."
"I pressed the acupuncture point that can stop hiccupping for you. Although it hurt, it must feel better
than burping."
...
She gaped at him.
"You were poking an acupuncture point?"
"Well, to be exact, I pressed it."
"You're amazing! I am surprised you know how to do that!"
"Of course. What can't I do? Tell me, am I even better at that thing?"
He smiled in a weird fashion and leaned closer, gently kissing her rosy lips.
She was dumbfounded and blushed.
"You're so bad!"
"What? I don't understand. What did I say to deserve that remark?"
He played dumb and chuckled mischievously. He stared at her flushed cheeks and teased,
"I see. You are thinking about that, aren't you?"
She gave up.
She played right into Bad-bear Smith's hands every time.
Kayden came back with the new shoes and hesitated at the door. Then he knocked and pushed it open
to enter after Emmett said he could come in.
Even so, Kayden was scared when he saw what they were doing.
God, was something wrong with his eyes?
Master Smith, who treated women as low-level animals, had Elaine on his laps and was hugging her!
More surprisingly, she was grabbing his ear!
She was being so disrespectful, but he was smiling.
The smile was tinged with love!
Kayden took a quick glance at them and looked down at the ground, saying,
"Master Smith, I've bought the size 36 sheepskin shoes."
"Good, put them down."
Just as Kayden bent down, Elaine asked,
"Is Gloria still in the hospital?"
A thud came.
Kayden panicked and dropped the shoes. The merchandise worth tens of thousands rolled on the floor.
...
Kayden quickly looked up at Emmett in panic.
Emmett looked calm. Only Kayden, who knew him well, noticed his eyebrows moved.
Emmett was sophisticated and said with a faint smile,
"Yes, I guess so. I haven't asked about it. She is not my sister. I don't care."
"I see...."
Elaine nodded seriously and tilted her head. After thinking for a moment, she said,
"Do I need to visit her? After all, she is there because Hazel beat her up. She is sort of a victim."
Kayden couldn't help but cough violently with his fist near his mouth. .
He was shocked.
Looking at his boss, he wondered what the smart one would say.
Stared by her, Emmett smiled gently.
"If you want to go, go. I don't know if Hazel will be happy about it. Aren't you afraid she will call you a
traitor? You want to side with the enemy here."
"Well." Elaine was conflicted. After thinking for a while, she shook her head. "Then I am not going.
Hazel might not appreciate my kindness. I will talk to Gloria when she is discharged."
Emmett said, "The Boyces are rich. Perhaps they enjoy traveling abroad. You might not see her again."
"I see.... Forget it. I will leave this to chance."
Emmett once again foreshadowed Gloria's disappearance.
Kayden secretly gave his boss a thumbs up.
How resourceful of him!
...
Marina looked at the dishes on the table. There were two sets of tableware, but she was the only one
dining.
She sighed.
She was frustrated on the way back.
She clinked the plate with her fork and knife. After some time, she was discouraged and threw them
onto the table.
...
"I'm so pissed!"
She stood up and paced the luxurious suite on high heels. Then she lifted the curtains and looked
outside.
There were indeed reporters downstairs.
It was a taxing profession. The subjects were dinning in the hotel, but the reporters were waiting at the
entrance of the building eating bread. Even the criminal police had better life.
She knew they were here for her and Emmett.
She had just returned to the country when he invited her to have lunch at this grand hotel. Of course,
the reporters would come.
In the afternoon, there would be news of them having a lovely lunch.
But who could...?
In fact, she was dinning alone.
He stood her up.
Where was he?
He should still be in this hotel, but she didn't know which room.
"Why do you hate me so much?"
She released the curtains in a fit and paced the room.
Suddenly, she tensed up all over!
Right!
She could use this opportunity....
She ran to her purse and found a small black bottle that was sealed.
With her back to the door, she carefully opened it and got out a white pill, mixing it with Emmett's water.
It melted quickly in the cup with just a small amount of water.
The water was still clear.
Because she was agitated, her hands were trembling!
She quickly hid the black bottle in her purse and sat back in her seat, panting.
Then, she stared at the cup.
Her heart was pounding.
God bless. God bless!
...
Emmett sat on the sofa and continued to work on his tablet. Elaine used his thighs as her pillow and
played mobile games.
They were both occupied and not disturbing each other this way.
Half an hour after dinner, the waiter brought the fruit. Emmett put down his tablet and said,
"Alright. Stop playing. Let's eat some fruit."
