Chapter 694
The next morning, Emily woke up in high spirits. Due to her good night's sleep, she even enjoyed her breakfast more than usual.
When Ariah saw that Emily had a good appetite, she smiled, "What do you plan to do next?"
However, Emily took a sip of soy milk and then frowned. "To tell you the truth, I don't know. Lennon is a scary person, and I've been afraid of him since young. I think he's very powerful and resourceful that there's nothing that he couldn't do..."
Quietly, Ariah listened.
"Besides, this time, he wants to take me back to be his wife, and I don't know what to do." Distressed, Emily pouted, "For now, your place is the only safe place, and I'm sure that he must have sent his men to search other places."
"Do you want to call your brother for help?"
"My brother?" With a snort, Emily continued, "He's on Lennon's side, so he definitely won't help me. In fact, he's already doing me a favor by not helping Lennon to kidnap me back home."
Then, Ariah laughed, "He's still your brother after all."
Meanwhile, Emily pursed her lips.
"He was indeed worried about you. Back then, when you were kidnapped from the hospital, he was extremely anxious that he even barged into the Pooler Family in the middle of the night just to look for you." Slowly, Ariah told Emily what happened in the past few days, "After all, you're his sister, so of course, he would care about you."
With a glance, Emily asked, "Is he really worried about me?"
"Of course."
"Okay... I'll call him later and tell him that I'm safe now."
"That would be the best."
After breakfast, Emily gave Eric a call. Just as Ariah finished cleaning up the cutleries, Jimmy returned.
The moment Jimmy saw Emily seated in the living room, he asked with a look of disgust, "Why are you still here?"
The night before, Jimmy was driven back by Ariah because of Emily, and the reason was that if Jimmy were to stay for the night, it would be inconvenient for Emily.
Therefore, Jimmy wasn't hoping to see Emily here at all.
After Emily was done calling Eric, she turned to answer Jimmy, "I would still be staying here for the next few days. So, will you despise me even more?"
However, Jimmy curled his lips and said, "No, I won't, and you can stay as long as you want."
Not only Emily but even Ariah was also shocked. When did Jimmy become so generous?
"You're not chasing me away?" Suspicious, Emily asked again.
"Why should I chase you away? You can stay in this house for as long as you want since Ariah will be moving into my place tonight." After Jimmy finished, he brought Ariah into the bedroom. "Go change your clothes. We are heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
For a moment, Ariah was stunned. "Why are we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
"To restore our marriage."
"Wow!" Excitedly, Emily jumped from the couch. "Are you guys really going to get married again?"
Immediately, Jimmy pushed Ariah into the bedroom and closed the door as he raised his eyebrows and looked at Emily, "Why, are you against it?"
"Oh, what's there to object to? I'm just really happy for you guys."
Indeed, Emily was really happy because she could see that Ariah loved Jimmy. Now that they were about to form marital ties, Emily was happy for them.
It was then that Jimmy's expression took a turn for the better, "Well, I guess my effort of saving you was not in vain."
As Emily thought about how they tried to look for her, she quickly said, "Oh, right. I haven't had a chance to thank you. Thank you for helping me."
Leaned against the wall, Jimmy raised his eyebrows slightly. All this time, Jimmy had always thought that Emily was a spoiled princess, but he didn't expect that she was not so annoying after all.
"I didn't prepare any wedding gifts for you guys, and I don't think I can prepare one right now." Embarrassed, Emily spread out her hands and said, "When I get some money, then I'll buy you gifts."
However, Jimmy suddenly asked, "Since you're already engaged to another man, why were you did you date Kobi?"
Immediately, Emily blinked her eyes and explained, "It was an arrangement from my father when I was young, and I had no idea about it. I only found out about it later when I grew up. But, I don't
have feelings for Lennon, and I like Kobi, which was why I dated him. What's wrong with that?"
"I'm not saying that it's wrong." With a shrug, Jimmy continued, "What I meant to ask was, what is your current plan? Will you stay here and get back together with Kobi, or will you go back to marry that man?"
"Neither." Determined, Emily spread out her hands and said, "I won't forgive Kobi, and I have no feelings for Lennon too. These two men aren't my true love, so I'll continue searching for the one that was destined for me."
For a moment, Jimmy squinted at her and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, lam."
"Stop being indecisive then." Sincerely, Jimmy smiled as he was happy with the decision that Emily made. "Kobi is indeed not the one for you, and you deserve to a better man."
Taken aback, Emily was tongue-tied. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
In the bedroom.
After Ariah changed her clothes and looked at herself in the mirror, she could not help but feel nervous.
Whenever Ariah thought that she was soon about to marry Jimmy again, her palms began to sweat.
Then, she remembered how she married Jimmy without having any emotions back then, and it was a totally different state from what she was currently in.
When Ariah opened the bedroom door, she saw that Jimmy and Emily were having a conversation, so Ariah looked at the two of them, "What are you two muttering about?"
However, Jimmy stared at Ariah and didn't say anything. Soon, Ariah's scalp became numb from Jimmy's gaze, "What's wrong?"
"You look gorgeous." As Jimmy said that, his eyes lit up.
Immediately, Ariah lowered her head to look at herself. In fact, she had deliberately chosen a waist- tight dress and had even put on makeup, so she really looked much better than her usual appearance.
Flushed, Ariah was too embarrassed to admit that she had put in a lot of effort to dress up, so she mumbled, "It's just like how I usually dress, and it's nothing..."
Frozen, Jimmy stood there and looked at her with a burning gaze.
After a moment, Ariah couldn't stand his gaze and said, "Come on, let's go. If we were to be late, they would have gotten off work by the time we arrive."
Meanwhile, Emily was teasing Ariah by the side. "You can't wait, can you?"
"Screw you!" Embarrassed, Ariah tried to hit Emily, but Emily dodged and ran forward. Immediately, Ariah chased after Emily, and the two of them ran out of the house together.
Then, Emily grabbed Ariah's arm and said, "Since I don't have anything to do at your place anyway, why don't I go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you guys? I promise I won't be a nuisance."
"Why would you want to tag along for?" Meanwhile, Jimmy, who had been following them, frowned.
Hurriedly, Emily turned to look at Ariah. "Please bring me along. I'm so bored."
"Sure." Happily, Ariah held her hand. "It's not like it's a big deal anyway. Why can't she follow?"
Delighted, Emily cheered.
In the meantime, Jimmy looked displeased.
However, Ariah ignored him and followed Alice into the car. Then, Jimmy could only grit his teeth and bear with it as he drove Emily and Ariah to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
There weren't many people at the Civil Affairs Bureau today. While Ariah and Jimmy went to fill out the forms, Emily felt bored and sat on the chair as she waited for them.
After Emily waited for a while, an idea came to her, and she suddenly jumped up from her chair.
Not long after Jimmy and Ariah finished filling out the form, Emily hurriedly went over and asked, "Are you guys done?"
"No, we've just filled in the form, and there are still some other procedures that we need to complete," slowly, Ariah explained.
"Oh." Slightly anxious, Emily turned to look at Jimmy several times. Although Emily wanted to say something, she refrained from doing so.
In the end, Ariah wanted to go to the washroom, so she asked if Emily wanted to come along. Repeatedly, Emily shook her head and said, "I'm not going. Hurry up and go, and I'll wait for you here."
As soon as Ariah left, Jimmy frowned. "Do you have something to say to me?"
"Yes!" Then, Emily pulled Jimmy into a corner and asked seriously, "Jimmy, do you know a person called Nicole?"
