Contract Marriage? True Love

Chapter 8: A Lie 

Oliver chuckled in a low voice, looking handsome and charming.

Emma's face turned red.

How could she forget such an important agreement? Oliver stepped forward, leaned over, and wanted to kiss her.

When Emma saw the man's delicate face approaching her, she leaned over and stepped back reflexively.

The man half closed his eyes, seemingly not satisfied with Emma's action.

Looking at the little face that was as red as a tomato in front of him, he suddenly had a desire to tease her in the bottom of his heart.

The corner of his mouth curved, with an evil grin, he lifted Emma's chin with his slender finger and whispered, "You dare to hide from me, huh?"

Many women had tried their best to climb onto his bed, but he had ignored them all.

Only this woman...

"You, you don't want to go back on your words, do you?"

Oliver's patience was not good enough.

Thinking that he had helped Emma so much, he felt unhappy that she actually wanted to escape now.

"No, no."

Cold sweat broke out on Emma's forehead.

How could she go back on her words? With Oliver's power, even if she fled to the corner of the earth, she would be captured by this man! "That's good."

Oliver pushed Emma, "Talk to your father for a while.I'll pick you up later."

Emma nodded and went in.

Thanks to Mr.Sensi, Mr.Brook, who had just woken up, looked much better.

Without the heavy cough before, his breathing was much smoother than before.

"Emma, come, come here."

"Dad..."

Emma called him in a low voice.

She felt guilty because of the things between her and Oliver.

She didn't know what Oliver had told her father.

She took small steps and slowly walked to the side of the bed.

"Emma, I'm glad that you have your own opinions and know what kind of person is suitable for you.Please lead a good life with fine.Don't act like a child.You should treat him nicely."

Emma's father spoke earnestly and seemed to have accepted the relationship between Emma and Oliver.

After a pause, he continued, "I think I have understood about your engagement.Since you two are in love with each other, I will support you to forget Justin and be with Oliver."

Emma's eyes were opened widely.

She thought, "What the hell is the engagement!"When did she get engaged to Oliver? She had only known Oliver for a few days! How could Oliver talk nonsense to his father! "Dad, I know, you can rest assured."

Emma squeezed out a stiff smile.Anyway, she had no choice but to fool him first.

"And, Emma, your sister didn't mean it.You two are sisters.If there is any misunderstanding, you should make it clear and let it go.Dad hopes that you don't blame her.She was anxious and couldn't think of a solution at the moment...’ Emma looked down and said faintly, "I know.Dad, I don't blame my sister."

Sarah knew exactly what was on Sarah's mind.

But she chose to stand in her father's shoes to think about the thing.

As a father, he certainly did not want there to be any conflict between his two daughters.

Moreover, her father had just recovered.

As his obedient daughter, she just wanted to make his father feel as free as possible.

"Our Emma is the best."

Emma's mother hugged her daughter, and her eyes were red.

She took out the card with the pension from her pocket, "Emma, you still have to take the money..."

"No, no, no.This won't do."

How could she accept the pension of her parents? "This is what we owe you.Take it."

Emma’s mother took the card and put it into Emma’s pocket.Emma was about to cry.

"Mom, no, I really don't need it."

Emma grabbed her mother's hand, "You also heard from Oliver that my job is very good, and my salary is very high.The money is not a big deal to me.I can work hard to earn it back.Mom...believe me."

She gritted her teeth and said these words, but she knew very well that she was just pretending to be strong.

She was uneasy about her currently turbulent life situation.

If it weren't for Oliver, she really felt that she would be forced to a dead end.

However, it was not easy for her parents to make their living.

She was an adult now and had the ability to take care of her parents.

Since that was the case, what reason did she have to ask these two old men for? "Okay...Okay..."

Emma’s mother wiped her tears, "Your father and I believe you."

There was a kind of relieved smile on Emma's father's face.

Sarah had never let them feel assured like Emma.

He sighed softly and thought, "What a blessing it is to have such a good daughter in my life."

After talking with her parents for a while, Emma saw that it was time to go.

She said goodbye to her parents, turned around, and strode to the door of the hospital.

He saw a black Bentley park at the entrance of the hospital.

It was so...eye-catching that she could tell which flaunting guy it was without a doubt.

Emma walked to the side of the carriage and tapped the window with her fingers.

With the window rolled down, Oliver showed a proud smile on his handsome face.

As for Emma, she was stunned and her expression was quite interesting.

However, seeing such an expression, Oliver did not feel surprised at all.Instead, he was amused by her silly look.

"Oliver, you..."

The man raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Get in the car.Let's have a talk."

Feeling helpless, Emma had no choice but to get in the car while covering her face.

Emma felt that the car was a little conspicuous, but she didn't want to be seen by an acquaintance, so she had to cover her face.As Oliver looked up through the rearview mirror and saw Emma's stupid look with her hand covering her face, he felt funny again.

Why was this little woman so likeable? Even her stupid look was so attractive."

Feeling that nobody would notice them, Emma put down her hands and sighed heavily.

"Why do you behave like that? Do you feel ashamed to get in my car?"

"It's too conspicuous, ok?"

Emma had always kept a low profile.

She didn't want to act ostentatiously and cause bad rumors.

Oliver also agreed that Emma had always kept a low profile.

She had worked in Wood Enterprise for so long, but he didn't know such a person in the company before.

Obviously, she was so beautiful, but she didn't want to show off.If it were other women...they would be so flamboyant that they couldn't wait to be seen by the president? Alas, if he had met Emma earlier, he might not have been able to get her now!"

"Why do you tell my father about our engagement? Now you tell such a lie.How will you realize it in the future?" Emma questioned.

She felt speechless about Oliver's lie.

The relationship between her and him now was just contractual.

She didn't dare to think about the engagement.

"If I don't say that, how can your dad rest assured to give such a precious daughter to me?"

Perhaps he had always been resolute in his work.

Only in this way could he get Brook's father's consent and make him feel assured.Emma knew that this was a lie.

She felt that Oliver just acted on impulse, but at the moment, it seemed that there was no other ways to make her parents feel at ease.

From the beginning it was a lie, so now she would continue to follow the road of lies.

The car stopped at the gate of an apartment.

Emma got out of the car with Oliver.

"Come in, this is my private apartment."

So this was Oliver's home.

Looking at the beautiful apartment in front of her, Emma actually felt a little excited in her heart.

There were a few pairs of slippers placed orderly in the entrance. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

However, out of Emma's expectation, there was actually no woman's slippers here.

After taking off her shoes, she stood there awkwardly.

Oliver handed over a pair of men's slippers, which were smaller than the previous ones.

But their size was still a little big for Emma’s small feet.

Oliver walked into the living room.

Emma followed him while stepping on her shoes that didn't fit her feet.

She cackled as she walked, looking like a little duckling.

The residential room was European-style, but a little bit too simple.

"Have a seat."

Oliver went to the kitchen to pour some water.

Emma stared at everything in the room.

There was a photo frame on the small table on one side of the sofa.

Emma turned her body and took a closer look.

It was a photo of Oliver and Mr.Sensi.

The photo of the two extraordinarily handsome men standing together exuded a faint noble air, inadvertently giving a sense of pressure to Emma.

These two people were so beautiful.

Especially for Mr.Sensi, he was too god-like.

Emma uplifted her butt as she stared at the photo on the sofa.

She couldn't help appreciating their beauty.

Oliver walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea in hand.

When he saw her funny face, he felt speechless.

What was she doing? Was she trying to provoke him with such a ridiculous gesture? Following her gaze, he learned that she was staring at the photo.

Oliver put the cup of tea on the table with slight softness in his eyes, "Emma, I will be jealous if you stare at other men's photo like that."

",.."

Emma suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She immediately sat up straight and sat on the sofa obediently, "I didn't look at Mr.Sensi! I've been looking at you! Mr.Sensi is not as handsome as you!"

"Ah, really?"

Hearing what she said, Oliver curved his mouth with satisfaction.

He slowly approached her and sat down beside her.

The sofa was so big, but he just wanted to sit beside her.

Emma was silent.She admitted defeat in her heart.

However, some irrelevant problems lingered in her mind.

For example, why did Oliver put the photo of himself and Mr.Sensi in the living room? Was there a love story between them?...

"He's my friend.What are you thinking about?"

Oliver knocked on Emma's head.Feeling the pain, Emma cried out.

She had to admit that she did not understand the friendship between men.

"Well, where is the bathroom?"

Emma asked with a red face.She had held her pee all the way in the car, so she had to go to the bathroom to solve it quickly.

"It's over there."

Oliver pointed with his slender finger.

"Oh! Okay!"

Emma got up and walked towards the toilet.

Unexpectedly the men's slippers under her feet were too large.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, her body started leaning forward uncontrollably.

When Oliver realized it, it was too late.

He only reached out to grab some air.

Emma fell to the ground awkwardly.

Just now, when she fell down, she knocked over the tea and spilled it all over herself.

Emma's pure white shirt was soaked through by the tea, and the black wraps inside were partly hidden and partly visible.

Especially the pure black ribbons, it seemed that they deliberately showing their presence.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Oliver subconsciously rolled his Adam's apple.

What was she hinting at?
