Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 859

Hearing this, Simon walked to the door and stopped to look at her with a faint smile.

Emily felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of what he said when she woke up, she gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you looking at me? The baby in my belly is hungry!"

"Okay, you win!" Simon's lips curled up.

After a quick shower, Emily came to the dining room. A substantial breakfast had been laid out on the table.

Two perfectly fried eggs were on the white porcelain plate, and she quickly ate one. While she was chewing, she saw the sunlight slant down from the window, flooding over the dining table like ruffled it into yellow silk sashes.

She sat up idly and didn't know what to do on her unexpected day off.

Simon was thinking about asking for her another sick leave of some days so that she wouldn't burn herself out.

After a while, Emily looked up at him and said, "Simon, I have a day off today. I want to stay at home in the morning. After lunch, we can go to the riverside..."

She was cut off in midstream by the sudden ringing of the phone.

Emily bit back the words she would like to have said and glanced at the phone on the dining table like him.

Simon looked at the glowing screen and then put it next to his ear. "Hello, Anson?"

Emily lowered her head again and continued to eat the other fried egg on the plate.

She had met the Anson before. After their divorce, Simon signed the apartment over to her. She was called to Anson's office to sign a document. Now the lawyer was introduced to Addy for her divorce case.

Anson kept saying as Simon listened carefully and occasionally responded.

In the end, he sat up straight a little. "Addy's there? Well, you two talk first, I'll meet you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Simon put the phone back on the table.

At the same time, Emily stopped what she was doing. She raised her head again and asking coldly, "Simon, are you going out?"

"Mn!" Simon nodded.

Emily pursed her lips. The hearty meal had given her a good appetite, but now, looking at the tasty egg in the white porcelain plate, she suddenly took a dislike to it.

Thinking of what she had just said, Simon asked with a smile, "Emily, you just said that you wanted to the riverside in the afternoon?"

"Are you going to help Miss Swan again?" Emily didn't answer him but asked back.

Simon nodded and said honestly, "Well, Addy..."

"Bang—"

All of a sudden there was a terrific bang.

It wasn't that deafening, but abrupt.

Emily flung the bowl onto the table, got up and walked back to her bedroom with a grim look on her face.

Simon was startled. Immediately after, he stood up and lengthened his stride to keep up with her.

Emily walked so fast that he failed to touch her before she slammed the door shut. He was caught completely unawares and almost smacked into the door.

Simon regained his balance and opened the door. The one inside was lying on the bed like she did yesterday, but at this time, she was covered with a quilt so that her face couldn't be seen. Only tendrils of hair strayed to the edge of her pillow.
