I couldn’t drive Jared away because he had Ashton to vouch for him. Besides, Summer had developed a
dependency on him. Except for Jackson’s suggestion, we had no other way.
I nodded in agreement. “That’s the only thing we can do. You studied psychology in M Country. If you
meet any professionals in this field, please let me know.”
“I understand. I think of Macy’s child as mine, and I love Summer as much as you do.” Jackson smiled
and sounded relax. It seemed that his hostility had disappeared with his illness.
Everything felt like a dream. Back then, he was fixated on fighting for the child’s custody that he even laid
his hands on Ashton.
Now that the nightmares were gone, the journey would be smooth for the rest of the days.
After sending Jackson off, I packed my stuffs and left for the airport.
However, right when I reached the door, a car from the Moore family drove here and parked by the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtroadside. Soon after, Emery got off the car hurriedly.
“You’re going on a business trip, right?” She didn’t care about pleasantries and went straight to the point.
“Yeah.” I looked at her in bewilderment.
Ashton gave me the invitation card in J City last night. How did she know about this?
“Good. Let’s go together.” She quickly got into my car and sat in the seat furthest away from the door.
Seeing how I was still confused, she urged, “Quick! If not, I’m going to get caught.”
Upon saying her words, she pulled me into the car.
“Drive!” Emery instructed the chauffeur and gripped my arm tightly, as if I would kick her out of the car.
As the chauffeur drove, she kept checking the rearview mirror now and then.
She heaved a long sigh of relief and let go of my arm after we drove for a distance.
I glanced at her sideways and tidied up my clothes before teasing her. “It seems you still have your
charm. Your luck in love follows you everywhere.”
Emery rolled her eyes in disgust at me. “What nonsense are you spouting?”
I pursed my lips and kept my mouth shut before I exposed her.
Ashton booked my flight ticket. He also got one for Millie for my protection. Since Emery was traveling
with us, she had to spend some money to buy herself a ticket from the business class, too.
To her, it was money well spent. Listening to the blaring engines when the airplane took off, she
narrowed her eyes and relaxed in the seat from the business class cabin in absolute bliss.
She seemed like a person going on a vacation.
I was dying of boredom, so I started a conversation with her. “Come to think of it, what happened to you
and that guy? Are you hiding from him?”
Emery was usually loud and carefree. It would be hilarious if my guess was right.
Although she was in her thirties, she led a dazzling life and was rather popular with men. However, a
woman with her success had no choice but to hide away from the Cupid’s arrow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer suitor, Alexander, was more formidable than the gods. He made her vulnerable emotionally all in one
day. She felt like a coward.
However, Emery refused to admit. “Don’t talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with that guy. I was too
bored in K City when Hunter was clinging onto me, so I went overseas for a vacation. Men are really
troublesome.” She continued with her denial.
“Yeah…” I looked at her meaningfully before cracking a joke. “Then, who’s more troublesome, Hunter or
Alexander?”
Speechless at my mockery, Emery closed her eyes to ignore me. “I’ve had enough worries for these two
days, so give me some peace.”
She put on her sleeping mask, covered herself with a blanket, and pretended to be asleep.
I didn’t have a good rest in J City last night. As the other passengers in the cabin were resting, I made
myself comfortable and drifted off to sleep.
