But
You can't do that, can you?
Emma just wants to show off. Why is he being so stubborn?
Come on, try a different approach.
For a heartless man like Liam, even if you move him with emotion and reason with logic, he still won't accept your invitation.
To negotiate with the most powerful business tycoon in the city, mutual benefit is the key.
Emma clears her throat.
She says solemnly, "Liam, how about we make a deal? What do I have to do before you'll agree to wear matching outfits with me?"
"What do you mean?"
"It means you can name any condition. As long as I can do it, I will. But you have to be obedient and put on the couple's clothes."
Emma says it all in one breath, thinking, I've explained it so clearly. Even if Liam is being dense, he should understand this, right?
"Really? Any condition?" Liam sounds skeptical.
What trick is this little girl trying to play?
Just to wear matching clothes, she's going this far?
"That's right. Name it. I'm not a difficult person." Emma pats her chest, assuring him that she'll agree as long as it doesn't break the law.
"In that case... then how about you..." Liam doesn't finish his sentence all at once. Before he says half of it, he leans in close to Emma.
His dark eyes look at her unkindly, and the wicked smile on his face makes her skin crawl.
"What do you want? I'm telling you, Liam, I won't agree to anything physical. Don't get any ideas. I'm not that kind of person."
What does this jerk mean by looking at her with such a lecherous expression?
Is he trying to set a trap for her?
Thinking this, Emma feels a little scared and moves back. She puts her hands in front of her chest, and every cell in her body becomes alert.
Liam thinks she looks quite cute, and he can't help but want to tease her.
Finally, reason conquers impulse. He just raises an eyebrow, reaches out, and firmly grasps Emma's right hand. Looking at the bright red bracelet on her wrist, he says faintly, "I want this in your hand... what about it? Are you willing?"
Actually, he's been annoyed by the red bean bracelet on Emma's wrist for a long time. Now that he finally has a chance... how could he not make this request?
"Huh? You like this bracelet? This is for women... Liam, your taste is so unique. I'll give it to you."
Emma looks disgusted. As she talks, she pulls her hand back and naturally takes off the bracelet, handing it to his palm.
It's hard to imagine what Liam would look like wearing this thing.
Emma finishes this series of actions and then looks at him seriously.
She wants to see what Liam will look like when he puts on the bracelet.
But...
The next second, Emma realizes she's wrong.
It turns out that Liam wanted the bracelet, not to wear it, but...
To throw it away?
Liam takes the bracelet, his face showing no hesitation. In an instant, he quickly opens the window and then neatly throws the thing out the window!
Emma is stunned.
"What do you mean? Liam... why are you throwing my stuff away?" Emma never thought he would do such a thing.
She knew his eyes couldn't stand it, but no matter how annoying it was, couldn't he just ignore it?
He's not a three or four-year-old child. How can he be so immoral?
Emma is furious with him.
"What you said to me is naturally mine. I asked your wife, do I need your permission to throw away my own things?" Liam says with a rogue-like face.
Emma is speechless.
"Fine, I won't talk about it. You know what to do tomorrow."
Emma finishes, forces the anger in her heart down, and turns her head away from him.
At the Taylor family villa.
When Noah comes back, Isabella has been waiting for him at home all night.
Hearing the sound, she can't even put on her shoes and runs to the door.
Before she can be happy, she finds that Noah is drunk.
"Why are you drinking? Your wound isn't healed yet. Noah, can't you take better care of yourself?" Isabella wants to ask why he was with Emma today.
But before she can say it, he's already like this.
"I'm fine, Xi. You know what? I saw her today. I'm very happy... and sad too." Noah finishes this sentence vaguely and falls into a deep sleep on the sofa.
Isabella is full of words but doesn't know who to talk to. Her resentment and anger escalate again.
She can't bear to blame Noah for these things. She can only blame Emma for everything.
If it weren't for her...
Would Noah be like this today?
Because he was injured, he hasn't gone to work for over a week. The company has already accepted his resignation.
Isabella looks helplessly at the man on the sofa, feeling there's no way out.
Now, the only thing she can do is to be with him.
Take good care of Noah. When he gets better, when he forgets Emma.
Maybe...
She'll have a little chance.
Isabella's resentful eyes gradually turn cold. This time, even if she has to pay any price, she can't let Emma live so easily.
What she owes them must be paid back.
Isabella makes up her mind silently.
As if lying on firewood and tasting gall, her Isabella must make a grand event.
The next day, at night.
Because two guests have come to Sunrise Manor, the spacious room instantly becomes lively.
Henry's face is not as serious and cold as usual. On the contrary, he is especially polite to Emma's parents.
At the beginning of dinner, Emma and Liam slowly come down from upstairs.
Their clothes were bought temporarily by Emma.
Liam's 1.85-meter frame makes the clothes look a bit small, but he still doesn't say a word.
If it were normal, Liam would be furious.
But today...
It's a special day.
Although the clothes don't fit very well, at least in other people's eyes...
They look like a good match dressed like this.
Black couple's sweater, Emma with light white jeans, giving off a bit of a girl-next-door vibe.
But Liam can't be happy.
This is the first time he's worn matching clothes. It felt strange at first, and now the clothes are a few centimeters too small, making his chest a little uncomfortable.
