Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 726

The atmosphere in the room turned palpably tense and everyone held their breaths.

"You've had too much to drink, Brock!” said someone, standing up with a knowing look at him to sit down.

Realizing that he had spoken out of turn, Brock immediately put down his bottle and muttered an excuse, "Ahem, I need to use the bathroom!"

When he came back, no one strayed back about Simon's and Addy's past, skirting any mention of anything before and kept the conversation swirling around their recent activities and the atmosphere quickly turned back to warm and merry.

Simon had three glasses of red wine and it was Emily who drove them back later.

They said nothing all the way with only the music from the radio filling the emptiness between them. Perhaps it was the kick from the alcohol, Simon spoke little and from her angle, he seemed unusually silent.

They stepped into their house and quietly changed into their slippers.

Emily deposited the keys on the little bamboo basket on the shoe rack and asked with as casual a tone as she could muster, "You and Ms. Swan... Were you a couple before?" "Mmhmm," Simon's Adam's apple stirred.

He didn't deny it...

Emily felt her heart being bludgeoned by a blunt knife.

She looked up and saw him staring at her with those charming eyes of his, "Where’s your ring?"

"It’s here," she motioned with her right hand. She rolled her eyes with a tinge of annoyance, "Have you gone blind?!"

Simon seized her hand before she could retract it, his thumb and forefinger rubbing the silver ring on her finger tenderly. Softly yet clearly, he said to her, "You are my wife, Emily."

"..." Emily licked her lips.

Was this a reassurance?

She closed her eyes and her grandmother's loving and meaningful voice came back to her again: What’s gone is gone. What matters now is your future together...

She watched him, his long legs pacing lazily back into the bedroom. She flexed her fingers and asked finally, "Are you not afraid that you would be punished for going against your vow, Simon?"

Simon stopped in his tracks for barely a beat before he went back to his usual pace as he continued walking.

He giggled deeply and evaded the question by merely saying, "It's getting late. Let's take a shower and go to sleep!"

Emily came out of the shower behind him. She barely reached the bed when his arms shot at her and grabbed her, pulling her into his chest..

With a devilish grin and a curt "let's make a baby", he held her face and kissed her full on the mouth.

Overwhelmed by him, Emily could hardly breathe.

He was kissing not on her lips, but on the tip of her heart.

This fellow...

Since he had found the excuse of making a baby, he has taken to making love without any hint of shame or hesitation at all!

It was nearing the end of their day and Emily was busy touching up her final draft. Beside her, Tina was almost finished packing up. "I'm bringing Isla to enjoy a feast of crabs. Would you like to join us?"

"Nope!" She shook her head.

"Huh?" Tina gawked at her.

A shy expression wiped across Emily's face and she mumbled shyly, "You guys go ahead. I’m going to the movies with Simon tonight!"

Just ten minutes ago, Simon had sent her a text, asking her to come out as soon as possible. The DC film franchise was nearing its end and tonight was the final screening for the final installment.

Tina suddenly looked surprised with a dawning realization, "Ah... So the beautiful lass has a date tonight!"

"Stop it!" Emily was embarrassed by her teasing. She narrowed her eyes at Tina and scowled, "I was just about to ask you! Now tell me what’s going on! Isla said something about an insurance agent who’s interested in you!”

"Surely you're not going to take a kid's word for it!" Tina shook her head furiously as she grappled with embarrassment, "My family had arranged for a blind date that I could not refuse, so I brought Isla along. But I was surprised that he wants to take things further!"

Emily was stunned. She didn't expect Tina to
