"Toot, toot..."
Upon hearing the sound behind them, both Calvin and Emily turned their heads.
A black Cayenne slowly driving in their way, and stopped next to the BMW. The door of the driver's seat opened, and a tall figure got out of the car.
Simon wore a dark gray shirt and a pair of slacks of the same color. The sleeves of the shirt were rolled up to the elbow, and one of his arms was gently placed on the car door. The sunlights were kissing his handsome face like he was their Apolo. He was looking at them. Or, to be more precise, he was looking at her.
"Emily!"
Emily subconsciously took half a step back at his calling. The same swollen feeling came back to my lips again.
The scene that happened last night was still lingering in her mind. When she looked at him, she couldn't conceal the anger in her eyes. But since he was drunk at that time and Calvin was here now, she could only pretend that nothing had happened.
Calvin saw him and asked politely, "Mr. Chin, what's
the matter?"
Simon said, "There's something!"
"Then what is it?" Emily immediately frowned.
Simon did not immediately reply. Instead, his gaze swept across the two. "Are you planning to go out on a date?"
"Emily and I are going to watch a movie." Calvin answered without hesitation.
"Such a bad coincidence!" Simon muttered to himself.
"What's wrong?" Calvin was puzzled.
Simon raised his eyelids again and stared at Emily, who had been pursing her lips. "Emily, I want you to accompany me to a place!"
Emily said directly, "As you heard it, I'm not available now."
Simon said sadly, "It's granny's birthday today."
Emily's breathing paused, and her expression eased a lot."... Grandma's birthday?"
"Hmm, I'm here because I want to go to visit her with you!" Simon nodded and paused. Then he continued to say in a low voice, "As for our divorce, in fact, I didn't tell my grandma. She always thought that we went abroad for traveling. It's her birthday today. If you accompany me to visit her today, she will be very pleased! But if you feel reluctant and embarrassed, then forget what I said!"
When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Calvin out of the corner of his eye.
Calvin saw a look of hesitation on her face. He did not want to put her in a dilemma, therefore, after a moment of silence, he said magnanimously, "Emily, you'd better go!"
"Calvin..." Emily bit her lip.
Calvin smiled at her and said in a gentle voice, "No worries. The movie will start at 16 o'clock. There are three hours left. It isn't late for us to watch it after you come back from the cemetery!"
"Alright then!" Emily nodded.
It was Grandma's birthday and she had just passed away. In addition, Emily had gone to Country S without saying goodbye to her, so she had been feeling guilty. Now she was in Ice city, and if she didn't go, she would feel more guilty!
When Emily bent over and was about to get into the car, she heard Simon saying, "I'm sorry, Mr.
Desmond. I think that it is inappropriate for you to go with us!"
"Well, I understand!" Calvin nodded to show his understanding.
Simon nodded slightly, and then raised his chin
