"Simon? You..." Emily was shocked.
However, on second thought, she figured it out. "You've also received the news of Mr. Hogg's marriage?"
"Yes, Charlie called me." Simon nodded and said slowly in a low voice, "Originally, I planned to go back to Tbridge City, but now I can only go back to Ice city! It seems that we are on the same flight!"
Hearing this, Emily nodded her head. It was almost the same as what she guessed.
The two were separate friends of Wendy and Mr. Hogg. They could not be absent at such an important moment.
Over ten minutes later, Calvin, who got the boarding pass, walked back to her.
When he learned that Simon took the same flight with her, he was a little surprised. Then he paused and nodded. "Alright, otherwise I would feel worried if Emily flew back alone. It's good there's a familiar person who can take care of her!"
There were a lot of people coming and going at the airport. In such a noisy place, time passed by minute by minute.
The radio began to report the flight information. Calvin looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. You should go to check!" "Yes!" Emily nodded.
When she came to the security checkpoint, she took the backpack and boarding pass from Calvin. "Calvin, I'm leaving!"
As soon as she finished her words, Calvin suddenly came forward and hugged her.
Emily was stunned. She didn't expect him to suddenly make such an intimate move, so her body was a little stiff, especially because Simon was still by her side. With a glance, she saw that handsome face slowly turned away.
When she subconsciously reached out her hands to push Calvin away, he had already let her go first. He smiled and said, "Wish you safe all the way. Don't forget to call me after you land!"
"Mm..." Emily slightly nodded.
Under the watch of Calvin, the two walked into the security checkpoint.
The plane did not arrive late, so they boarded according to the planned time. Their seats were separated by a row.
A handsome foreigner sat next to her. After Simon came over with the boarding pass and said something in his ear, he nodded repeatedly and stood up to exchange the seats with Simon.
After watching him sit down beside her, Emily asked in confusion, "What did you say to him?"
The white handsome man was in the position near the window. Normally, people who chose such a position wanted to enjoy the scenery of the sky on the way, so they would not agree to exchange the seats easily.
Simon said indifferently, "It's nothing."
He pulled out his seatbelt with a bitter smile.
Just now, Simon did not say anything special to the handsome guy. He just said that he wanted to sit next to his wife. The handsome guy was willing to fulfill the happiness of others, so he happily agreed to change his seat.
"Oh." Emily shrugged her shoulders.
The stewardess came out to check the seatbelts and smiled to remind passengers of the safety precautions for flying. The plane gradually began to glided, and then steadily hovered above the clouds.
Simon seemed to be trying to find something to talk about. He asked strangely, "Does he treat you well?"
Emily was stunned for a moment and realized that he was referring to her fiance, Calvin. She thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Calvin treats me very well..."
They thought that the whole ceremony would be warm, but the accident happened so suddenly.
After the ceremony in the church, something happened to the groom, Mr. Hogg...
The wedding banquet, which was arranged for tonight, could only be canceled. Although many guests didn't know what was going on, it was almost a blow for Wendy. Emily was once worried that she couldn't hold on.
However, Wendy was very strong. She firmly believed that Mr. Hogg did not die and would not leave her behind. She did not even attend the funeral three days later.
Due to the suddenness of the accident, coupled with the fact that the wedding had just been held, the funeral was very simple.
Everyone was dressed in black, standing in the cemetery with an unspeakable expression of shock on their faces. Especially Chairman Hogg, who had lost his eldest son, felt even more pain. He was so emotional that he almost fainted several times.
At noon, the funeral was over. Everyone came forward to give their final mourning.
Emily was also there, feeling especially sad. She stepped forward and put down the white chrysanthemum. She wiped off the tears at the corner of her eyes and followed the crowd out of the cemetery.
From the half- mountain, a lot of black cars were lined up.
Simon's black Cayenne was also in them. He was dressed in black today, and there was a white flower on his chest. It seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for several nights. His eyes were bloodshot, and the stubble of his chin were obvious. He looked very decadent.
He and Mr. Hogg were good friends. At this moment, he was in an ecstasy of grief.
Seeing her coming down, Simon put out the cigarette in his hand and opened the door. "Emily, let me drive you back!"
