Chapter 21 Emily's eyes went wide , her pupils shrinking fast , and her voice shook so much it was barely a sound : " Everett , were you gross or not ! " " Madman ! " " I was crazy , driven crazy by you ! " His eyes were bloodshot , and his fingertips suddenly hooked her nightgown's tie , like he was unwrapping a long - forgotten gift . At first , he was gentle , but he gradually lost patience . In the end , he just gave it a hard yank . In an instant , the air in the room suddenly froze . Emily felt a dull pain in her lower belly . It was her period . Everett's face instantly turned as dark as ink .. " You're in the way ." He let go of her , got out of bed , and left the guest room . Emily collapsed on the bed , finally able to relax a bit . Just as she was thinking about asking someone to buy her some sanitary pads , the maid , Mrs. Wang , knocked and came in , bringing her what she needed and a bowl of hot chocolate . " Mrs. Barnes , this sweet soup was cooked by Mr. Barnes himself . " " I had never seen anyone love his wife as much as Mr. Barnes did . " The corner of Emily's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile . Chapter 21 288 Vouchers I remembered those years when I was married to Everett . Not just her period - even when she went out in the pouring rain to pick him up from the club and came back with a fever of thirty - nine degrees , she just wanted him to pour her a glass of water . Everett would still mock her , saying , " So dramatic . " Mrs. Wang was still going on and on , praising what a good man Mr. Barnes was , saying how loving Everett and she were as a couple . Emily turned around and poured the hot chocolate into the washbasin . She smiled a little , " He and I weren't a couple , I had a husband . " " This ... I .. " Wang's wife's words got stuck in her throat right away , like she just found out some huge secret , and her expression turned complicated . In another monitoring room , Everett saw everything in the room . His phoenix eyes drooped a little , and his dark eyes looked on quietly . His fingers were red from the burn . It clearly didn't hurt just now , but now it felt like something blunt was grinding over them - not a sudden sharp pain , but a slow , dull ache , like rusty gears pressing over flesh again and again . *** The next day when I was having breakfast . Emily absentmindedly poked at the Pine Mushroom Soup in her bowl : " No appetite , I wanted to eat diamond strawberries from Cape Town , melon from Hokkaido , and air - flown Gold Leaf Musang King Durian . " " I'll have someone send it over tomorrow . " Everett didn't doubt her at all . His long fingers tucked her stray hair behind her ear . Emily went on , " I'm tired of my clothes too , I wanted the 1957 Chanel 23 074 Chapter 21 IN OURDAN camellia embroidery haute couture , and the new Hermès Matte Himalayan Crocodile Birkin . " The earlier part was just a setup , this sentence was the real deal . Buying up these one - of - a - kind items worth hundreds of millions in bulk and sending them to some remote place would definitely cause a stir in high society . Everett didn't reply as quickly as he did to the last sentence , but just stared at her . Emily made the first move and threw the jade spoon in her hand onto the table with a crisp " pa " sound . " Didn't you say you liked me ? " Emily gave a mocking smile . " Why , can't let go now ? You were way more generous with Jessica than with me . " " In the years I was married to you , you gave me nothing . Now you say you want to win me back , but you still won't give me these things ? " " I already broke up with Jessica , I had nothing to do with her now , you didn't need to be jealous of her . " "Who's jealous of her ? Forget it , I don't want it anymore , I just can't expect anything from you . " Emily's voice suddenly got louder . Everett stared at her and suddenly laughed . " Are you crazy . " Emily suddenly felt creeped out . Everett reached out and patted her fluffy little head , his voice full of laughter , " I really liked how petty and possessive you looked . It was way better than when you used to pretend to be generous and say things you didn't mean . " Emily : " ... " 57.73 % 00-38 Chapter 21 She held back her nausea and didn't say anything . For three days in a row, Emily kept buying luxury stuff without stopping . Sotheby's pigeon blood ruby , gilded animal heads from foreign museums ... But after waiting for days , there was no news at all . On the fourth day , Emily sat on the white goose - feather carpet and didn't even feel like unpacking anything . A pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind . " Why didn't you take it apart ? " " The more you bought , the more likely Elliott was to find out . Want to buy some more ? " Emily's body froze . སྐད་ རང་ ་ ི་ དང་ ད་ ར་ ོ ང་ ་ ཉ་ ི རད་ ང་ ད་ ལ་ དད་ ཅང་ ར་ ར་ ར་ ར་ དང་ གད་ ཁྱད་ ན THIN WALLS સરકાર ધ TH 107 87
