Emily spotted it with her sharp eyes and quickly stepped forward to pick it up.
As an experienced woman who had been married for four years, she immediately found out what it was.
For some reason, Adam who met them at the entrance of the alley flashed across Emily's mind. She inexplicably associated her with Adam, and then shook her head hard. "How is it possible?"
By the time Anthea reacted, it was too late. Emily deliberately held it in her hand and looked at it carefully while teasingly saying, "Oh, did you meet simple and honest people abroad?"
"Stop teasing me!" Anthea was so embarrassed that she rushed forward to grab it and put it back in her bag. Then she counterattacked, "Tell me the truth first. What's the relationship between you and Dr. Chin? I only know that Boyd had found a rich woman and betrayed you, but I don't know that you get a alarmingly handsome guy!"
Emily pursed her lips. She also briefly told her about her experience in the past four years and her next plans as she said to her best friend Wendy, who had just returned from abroad.
After hearing this, Anthea's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god, Emily, you're having a really wonderful life! In the past four years, you've not only gotten married, but also divorced. I'm so envious of you!"
Emily sighed with profound resignation. "I don't see why you're envious. Are you jealous that I'm divorced?"
They laughed and chatted for a while. Anthea came forward and sat closer to her. She gently took Emily's hand. "Emily, do you want to start afresh after leaving Ice city?"
"Well, and I..." Emily nodded, then she bit her lip and whispered in her ear.
"Really?" Anthea was even more surprised than before.
"Yes!" Emily nodded again.
She thought that Anthea would be like Wendy and Tina, comforting her or asking her what to do, but she didn't say anything.
Anthea put her hand on Emily's lower abdomen. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Emily, I support your decision. It's a fate for every child to come to this world. You must cherish it. Otherwise, you'll regret it when you lose the child..."
Hearing her trembling voice, Emily couldn't help raising her head.
Her long, fine hair was swept back in a ponytail. Anthea's stared into space out of those bright eyes. Warm sunshine gently touched her face, but he turned as pale as death.
Emily asked with concern, "Anthea, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Anthea returned to earth with a smile.
Four years might not be enough to change a person's appearance and personality, but either Wendy or Anthea had gone through a lot of things.
After saying goodbye to Anthea's mother, Anthea walked her out of the building from the top floor.
The black Cayenne was still parked there. Through the window, they could vaguely see the handsome silhouette sitting on the driver's seat.
When they got to the front of the car, Emily stopped and heard Anthea ask, "Emily, when are you going back to Ice city?"
"Tomorrow morning, what about you?" She asked back.
Just when Emily could not stand the oppressive silence, he finally opened his mouth again. "Emily, are you leaving?"
"Yes..." Emily nodded slowly, but her face was set in an expression of stubborn determination.
Seeing this, Simon sucked on his cigarette. "When did you decide it?"
Due to the narrow and blocked space in the car, a lot of smoke clusters floated in front of her, filling her nose. Thinking of the child in her belly, she rolled down the window.
After the smoke was blown away a lot by the evening wind, Emily replied in a low voice, "It has been some time since I made up my mind. I can go with Wendy..."
She had already submitted the resignation letter. Although the chief editor was reluctant, he had already approved it. Then she settled everything, handed over all her work to Tina, and left Ice city.
"Why?" Simon asked in a gloomy voice.
Why...
Emily quietly placed her hand from her knee to her flat belly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Later, I carefully thought about it. What you said that day was right. A long- distance relationship was not good for me. I was afraid that he would cheat on me again, so I decided to go Australia to find Boyd and live with him there..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly shrouded in a shadow.
The voice behind Emily all froze on the tip of her tongue, and she looked at the enlarged handsome face in front of her in a panic.
