Tina blinked her eyes. "I saw that your beast¹ was worried sick about you. When he called me, his voice became hoarse. When I entered the room, I saw that he looked so depressed! As I came into the bedroom, he asked me to pass you a message..."
Emily frowned and tilted her head. Then, Tina continued, "He implored you not to desert him!"
Emily looked up at the closed door and looked down, her eyelashes fluttering. • • •
At dusk, Simon parked his black Cayenne in an enclosed, high-end residential community.
Simon put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the car. There were too many things that worried him recently, so he always had a frown on his handsome face and no longer behaved like an idle hippy.
For a long while, he kept his standing posture as if he was waiting for someone.
Ten minutes later, a taxi came from afar.
The car was parked at the side of the road. Then, a well-built and beautiful woman got out of the car. She thanked the driver for helping her pick up the suitcase and then hurriedly came over to Simon. The wound on her face had healed, so she looked as beautiful as an otherworldly fairy again.
"Simon!"
Hearing his name, Simon turned around and looked over.
With her suitcase, Addy went around the front of the car and walked up to him. "Sorry, but there's a traffic jam on the road. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"It's okay!" Simon said, pursing his lips. At the same time, he stood up, took out a key from his pocket, and handed it over. "The apartment is on the 15th floor of that building. There is only one apartment on each floor, and you can go in there by elevator without disturbance. A few years ago, I checked the apartment when I brought it. A cleaner will clean it regularly, but no one has ever lived there!"
"Okay, got it!" Addy reached out and took the key.
Simon, squinting a little, said in a serious voice, "It's not safe to stay in hotels now. Sean will be detained for at most seven to fifteen days before he is released. To prevent him from disturbing or threatening you again, you'd better hide here for the time being! Before the verdict comes out, you'd better not go out!"
"I see!" Addy nodded and continued, "I've checked out of the hotel. Also, I've asked for leave from my ballet troupe. Not many people left in the troupe; most of them have returned to Newley City. I won't participate in the other performances again. Besides, I've also changed my phone number, and I'll try not to contact anyone else!"
Hearing this, Simon nodded and then lifted his chin slightly, indicating to the residential area. "This residential area is enclosed. Any outsides can only enter after putting down their personal information. I have already asked the security guards to take away anyone suspicious who appears near the building! You can live here in peace!"
"Yes!" Addy paused for a moment before asking hesitantly, "Simon, that day, in the hotel, Miss. Sam... How about me clearing up the misunderstanding to her?"
"No need." Simon shook his head and refused.
It would be fine if she could explain it clearly, but he was afraid that the more they tried to make it clear, the more suspicious they would appear in Emily's eyes...
Seeing this, Addy did not say anything more. Holding the key in her hand, she said, "Simon, no matter what, thank you!"
Simon pulled his thin lips and said in a low and steady voice, "Not at all, Addy, it's my responsibility!"
Hearing his words, Addy wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. She could only exhale and say, "Now, I only hope that time can pass faster. When the verdict is out, and I get divorced, I can regain my freedom and won't bother you anymore. Then, I want to start a new life in Newley City!"
"I also hope so!" Simon said in a low voice. Immediately after, he opened the car door. "Addy, go in. I'm leaving!"
