Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 725

Emily regretted her decision to come along as soon as she got off the car.

Addy was reminiscing with Simon about the classmates of their year and maybe because they had a lot to catch up, Emily felt herself being kept outside a bubble.

She felt like a puppy that had been forgotten by its owner, being left behind all on its own.

She stared at the pair walking side by side in front of her. Heaven could crash and fall on their heads and Eddy Swan would still be just as ravishing and beautiful as always. Not helped by the fact that in her high- heels, her one-seventy centimeters tall and slender figure made her the perfect partner for Simon to walk beside with.

The triangle relationship was beginning to take its toll on her.

Caught in a trance, she stumbled all of a sudden.

She almost fell down but a long and fair arm came under her, then the familiar masculine scent and breath hit her in the face. Simon, who was in front earlier, had backtracked for her. Wearing a laugh, he teased, "You can't walk without ever tripping can you, dummy!"

Emily retorted sharply, "There was a stone!"

Simon lifted a leg and kicked the little stone away and took her hand.

Their fingers interlocked with each other. That was how he usually held her. Emily tried pulling gently, but he locked his fingers more firmly around hers, and through the corners of her eyes, she spied Addy filling with envy.

The private room was on the third floor. It was the second room right after the elevator.

Everyone aside from Simon had arrived. Five to six of them were sitting around a table, chatting with each other and their arrival made every head in the room panned their way.

A man in a suit, dressed like an elite of the finance world, stood up and joked, "The great Dr. Chin has arrived. We've been expecting you and finally, Addy remains the only one who can make you come!"

"Come on, I've only been late for five minutes. Put the tab on me!" Simon curled his lips lazily.

"That's what you're expected to do, Master Simon!" teased the man in suit and everyone echoed his guffaws.

They quickly noticed Emily beside her and Addy came to her rescue as their curious gazes trained in on her, "This is Emily. Emily Sam!"

Unflustered, Emily smiled at everyone and said, "Hi, I'm-"

"My wife!" Simon's voice drowned out hers.

Emily was stunned. She didn't expect him to announce their relationship in such a simple and straightforward way. But she wondered if she had been overly sensitive; silence pervaded the room right after Simon's announcement and the atmosphere, if not everyone's expression, felt stiff and awkward.

But Addy quickly took the initiative to change the subject. She said to the man in a suit and tie, "I've missed northern dishes so much, Brock! I've starving! Call the waiter!"

As the waiters scurried back and forth to serve the dishes, the party slowly paced into a pleasant and warm gathering.

Except for Emily. She peered around and realized that no one had brought any family around except for Simon. That made her felt like a bull in a china shop, especially when everyone could talk about their lives during and after school and she could hardly share a word with anyone.
