Chapter 17

Amma fell asleep. She had told Liam that she was a deep him and her legs resting on his waist, and his breathing No one could know the secret about his legs.

wever, in the middle of the night, Liam noticed Emma’s arms around

He wanted to do something to her so badly. But now was not the time

Liam struggled to maintain his self-control, and once Emma was asleep, he snuck out of bed and took a cold shower to calm down.

Emma woke up the next day and saw Liam was fully dressed and sitting in his wheelchair.

“You’re up? I’ll send you to the campus today,” Liam said faintly..

Emma rubbed her eyes, saying, “I thought I heard you get up last night.”

“What?” Liam said.

Emma vaguely remembered that Liam had gone to take a shower last night, but Liam’s legs couldn’t walk at all, so she quickly shrugged it off. “I must have been dreaming. Wait a sec. I’ll be done soon.”

When Emma was still part of the mysterious organization, they trained her to brush her teeth and get dressed super fast. She could do it all in under a minute. But she slowed down on purpose today so Liam wouldn’t get suspicious. After waiting a few minutes, she walked out of the bathroom and said, “Let’s go!”

Liam raised his eyebrows at her. “Wow. That was fast.”

“Well…” Emma panicked a little but soon calmed down and handled it smartly. She walked up to him and looked at him in confusion. “Did the women you used to wake up with wash up slowly?”

Liam hooked his lips and pinched her nose. “Naughty girl. I shouldn’t have had mercy on you last night,” Liam said dotingly, turned around,

and left the room in his wheelchair.

Emma followed him up and said, “What’s that supposed to mean? We…” She suddenly felt that what she was about to say would hurt Liam’s self-esteem. So she quickly shut her mouth.

“Yes?” Liam asked.

“We are married. There’s no such thing as mercy between husband and wife,” Emma explained discreetly. After all, she remembered vividly how scary Liam could be when he was mad, and she didn’t want him to be mad at her.

Liam looked at her wry gaze and smiled. “Smart a**

It was Liam’s first time dropping Emma off at the campus. When they pulled up in the Maybach, it caught the attention of many people.

“Holy shit! It’s a Maybach vs900!”

“2.6 million dollars. That’s like the most expensive car on our campus so far.”

“Whose car is it?”

The students were talking at the entrance, only to see a girl with a backpack stepping out of the car.

“Is that Emma Wilson?”

“No freaking way! Didn’t the Wilson family go bankrupt? Why is this bumpkin still so loaded?”

“Perhaps she got herself a sugar daddy.”

“Is she really in a relationship with Liam Hall?”

A few students were discussing, and right at this moment, a boy suddenly ran all the way, holding a large bunch of red roses, and stood in front of Emma “i have a feeling for you, Emma. Would you be my girlfriend?”

There was a collective gasp among the students.

“Wow. A love confession!”

“It’s Jack Morris, the handsome boy from the computer science academy. He confessed to Emma!”

Jack had randomly come across Emma’s computer paper. He was blown away by how clear and logical it was, and it made him fall hard for her. He decided to confess his feelings for her.

Emma could feel someone staring at her from behind, and when she turned around, she saw Liam giving her a serious look. He hadn’t gone far and was watching from the car. Liam’s face instantly clouded with displeasure, as if he could lose control any minute now if Emma took the wrong move.

Emma knew Liam very well. She said to Jack, “Sorry, the boss is mad. I’ll have to calm him down.” Emma spat out her tongue and immediately trotted back to the car.

The onlookers pointed at her and exchanged whispers.

“Look, she goes back.”

“Her sugar daddy must be angry to see Jack confess his love to Emma.”

“That’s what it takes to ride in a Maybach. Some men are really possessive. I wonder how he looks. Must be old.”

A few girls thought viciously and pulled out their cell phones, prepared to sneak a peek and ruin Emma’s reputation.

But just then, the car window rolled down, and bam! Liam’s super good-looking face was right there.

“I sensed jealousy, Mr. Hall,” said Emma.

Liam didn’t answer.

The next second, Emma leaned forward and kissed him on the corner of his lips.

Those girls who were going to take a sneak peek were also shocked.

“He’s so young and handsome.”

“Not old at all!”

“God, that kiss!”

Liam was satisfied, and his ears reddened. Emma looked at him with a sweet smile.

He cleared his throat before saying, “Now go back.”

Chapter 17

Emma took a few steps back, crouched down slightly, raised her arms, and struck a heart pose, watching Liam leave in satisfaction before she let out a sigh of relief.

Jack stared blankly at the scene and felt his heart being stabbed.

Emma was thinking about her past life, She remembered that Jack become a big shot in the top internet company in the country, rich and talented, and they had a history. However, in her previous life, Emma thought that Jack was a womanizer under Aria’s influence, and she didn’t give him the respect he deserved. When he confessed his feelings, she beat him up and called him shameless. Jack’s pride was hurt badly. He rose to power and broke up with her a year later. Emma didn’t realize it was all Aria’s plot until she died. Jack was sincere to her back then, but Emma messed up his feelings. Now, Emma didn’t want to become Jack’s enemy.

So Emma smiled at Jack and said, “Jack, thank you for the flowers. You’re a good man, but I’m already taken, sorry.”

Jack was surprised, staring wide–eyed and incredulous, murmuring, “Liam Hall?”

“Yep. We’ve known each other for a long time,” answered Emma.

Jack couldn’t hide the sorrow in his eyes, “In that case, I don’t think I stand a chance, but thank you for your honesty anyway.”

“Oh, no big deal,” said Emma faintly, “You’re a great guy, and many girls like you. You’ll replace someone just as great as you.”

Jack was pretty down at first because he thought he was no match for Liam, no matter how talented he was. But then Emma’s words made him feel better and boosted his confidence in front of everyone. He felt all excited and warm inside, keeping Emma’s words in his heart.

“Thank you, Emma. I’ll work hard and become the great guy you speak of!”

“Good then. We all need to work hard and become a great person,” said Emma.

The two left together. However, before they reached the classroom, a teacher called out to Emma on the way. “Emma Wilson, Mrs. Baker wants you in her office.”
