Chapter 16 Emily looked at his suddenly grim face and didn't know what he was angry about this time . " If you have nothing else to say , please leave . We've made everything clear between us . " Emily didn't want to get tangled up with him anymore and got straight to the point . Everett's hand unconsciously clenched into a fist as he looked her over and spoke slowly . " This is the real you , isn't it ? All that gentle and virtuous stuff was just an act . " His words weren't a question , but a statement . A Emily's slender hand lazily propped up her face , and she admitted generously , " Yeah , I was faking it , so do you need anything else ? If not , please leave . " This was the second time she kicked him out . The proud boy , who was always treated like a star , had never been treated like this before . Everett lowered his eyes and looked at her bright face , clenching his fingers . Emily looked at him , a bit confused . Wasn't he supposed to leave now ? After a while , Everett lowered his eyes , holding himself back from looking at her . His Adam's apple bobbed and he spoke in a hoarse voice . " Emily , you've had enough fun these days . " 00.37 Chapter 16 " I knew you went to Elliott just to get back at me for not caring about you . No matter if you two were just working together or ... actually got involved , just stop it . " " I admit I didn't care about you before and let you down , but maybe I could be the husband you wanted from now on . I already broke up with Jessica . " " Nothing ever happened between her and me . " Emily stopped tapping her cheek with her fingertips . The moonlight cast a cold , shimmering glow on her face , making her look as beautiful as a demon about to devour someone . " So what did you want to say ? " She tilted her head and smiled at him , but She tilted her head and smiled at him , but there wasn't a trace of a smile in her almond - shaped eyes . Everett's eyes dropped to her slender legs , the white like jade making his throat tighten . All the words he'd practiced a hundred times on the way suddenly got jumbled , circling on his tongue before he finally forced them out awkwardly . " Emily , I wanted to ... " " Huh ? " " I think I might have kind of liked you . " " You broke up with Elliott , I'll treat you well fron now on . " After this sentence was said , it went dead quiet . Just when Everett thought he hadn't sounded sincere and was about to say it again , a clear laugh rang out . Everett stayed silent , his dark eyes fixed on Emily's laughing face . Emily really found that line funny - she laughed so hard her shoulders shook and 28.583 0037 Chapter 16 tears came out of her eyes . Everett just kept watching her let her emotions out , and his heart unconsciously sped up . Emily finished laughing , wiped away the tears from laughing so hard , then looked at him . Her red lips curled up : " Too bad ... I didn't like you . " " Emily , I was serious . " This sentence was like a sharp knife stabbing straight into Everett's heart . He was full of hope , but it cut him fast and deep , leaving him bleeding . When Everett said this sentence , his voice couldn't help but tremble . " I was serious too , Everett , I didn't want to play these getting - back- together games with you . N " You turned over a new leaf , but what did that have to do with me ? I never liked you . " Boom ! It felt like time was frozen at that moment . Everett seemed to hear the tight string in his chest snap with a " pop . " " What did you say ?! " " I never liked you , or to put it another way , in our three years of marriage , I never liked you . How many women you had , what happened between you and Jessica , I never cared . " " Boom- " Everett's ears were full of roaring noise , his heartbeat was pounding against his eardrums , and his breathing got faster . 62 913 00 37 Chapter 16 " Impossible ... how could you not like me ... " You were willing to risk your life to save me , how could I not like you ... " Everett's voice was insanely hoarse , like a drowning man clinging to his last piece of driftwood , stubborn and defiant as he stared at her . " Who said I was saving you , I was saving ...
