Without turning back, Emma Watson knew the person behind her was Alexander Hunt. She wanted to slip away but was caught by Alexander. Blushing and unsure of what to say, she heard Alexanders sarcasm.
"Youve been busy these years, havent you? Selling your body and earning quite a fortune. Youve even bought such a luxurious villa! I suppose I was your least generous client."
Emma retorted indignantly, but upon seeing Alexander, her face turned even redder.
At that moment, Alexander was only wearing a towel around his waist, his upper body bare with droplets of water sliding down his skin.
Emma was surprised to find that Alexander, who looked slender, was actually quite muscular. His bronzed skin was taut over his chest, and his abs were well-defined.
She swallowed hard, recalling the crazy night from six years ago, as her cheeks flushed an unnatural red.
Hearing Emmas words, Alexander was furious, but seeing the blush on her face, he mockingly pressed her against the door.
Caught off guard, Emma found herself pinned between Alexander and the door before she could react. A deep, magnetic voice resonated in her ear, "Have you looked your fill?"
Emma was too embarrassed to retort and tried to struggle, but Alexander held her firmly, leaving no room for her to escape.
Initially, it was a punitive kiss, but the moment their lips met, something seemed to get out of control. Emmas lips were slightly cool and sweet, which made Alexander unable to stop.
Struggling for breath, Emma tried to break free, but Alexanders grip was unyielding.
The kiss was闇搁亾, prying open her teeth, exploring and plundering within.
Unable to breathe, Emma bit Alexanders lip hard, and the taste of blood quickly spread between them.
Alexander flinched from the pain and released Emma, but he still held her tightly, watching her with a playful gaze.
"Have you changed your methods of seducing men?" He licked his lips, his face clearly mocking.
Furious and embarrassed, Emma didnt want to engage with Alexander. She tried to struggle free, but he revealed, "Hes in the room on the left, second one."
Then he let go of Emma.
Once free, Emma rushed out of Alexanders room and didnt stop until she reached Lucass room, where she finally caught her breath.
The ocean lamp on the bedside table was still on, casting the room in a娴峰簳涓栫晫like glow.
Lucas was fast asleep on the car-shaped childrens bed in a bright yellow.
Emma sat by the bed, gently caressing Lucass head, looking around at the child-friendly decorations, and recalling the childrens room she had seen in the afternoon.
She was puzzled. Could an escort really earn so much money? Could it be that he wasnt an escort after all?
Judging by his attitude towards Lucas, Lucas would certainly live better here if he stayed with him.
At least it would be better than the constant moving and instability of following her.
Emma nodded off, her head falling heavily to the side. She woke with a start, sunlight filling the room.
She looked at the time and gasped; it was already past eight. Mrs. Thompsons shop opened at nine, and she was about to be late.
She rushed to get ready, but as she reached the door, she was stopped by the bodyguards.
Impatiently, she waved her hand and said, "Move aside, Im going to be late for work!"
Seeing that the bodyguards did not intend to let her pass, Emma was about to speak when she heard the butlers voice behind her.
"Ms. Watson, your job is no longer needed. I sent someone to resign on your behalf this morning."
"What!" Emma couldnt believe her ears. First, he took her son, and now he had cost her her job. Did she offend this man in a past life?
The butler, seeing Emmas expression of disbelief, explained with a warm smile, "Mr. Hunt said that you dont need to do such heavy work in the future. You just need to focus on taking care of the young master."
"Where is he?" Emma suppressed her anger.
"Hes having breakfast in the dining room. If you go there now, you can have breakfast with Mr. Hunt."
Emma, fuming with rage, walked to the dining room. Seeing Alexander enjoying his breakfast while focusing on the newspaper beside him, her anger intensified.
"Why did you resign my job for me?" Emma tried to suppress her anger and asked slowly.
"Because you are the mother of my son," Alexanders tone seemed to state a common fact that everyone knew.
"Are you trying to imprison me?"
"The mother of my son should not be out there working!"
"You!" Emma was so angry that she couldnt speak. Alexander, apparently not wanting to tangle with Emma, got up and left, saying to the butler before he left, "Keep an eye on them."
Emma wanted to chase after Alexander and argue with him, but the butler stopped her.
"Ms. Watson, Mr. Hunt doesnt mean to imprison you, but for your own good. Stay here, spend every day with the young master, not doing heavy work, isnt that nice?"
"Youre here so that the young master can live comfortably. Dont you want to give the young master a better environment? Do you want him to suffer with you as before?"
The butlers words stirred ripples in Emmas heart.
What the butler said was exactly what she thought. As Lucass mother, she naturally wanted to give him the best, so when Lucas had a better choice, she should agree without hesitation, right?
But what about her? Was she really going to be stuck here for the rest of her life? Emma was hesitant.
Seeing Emmas hesitation, the butler said with a smile, "Since Ms. Watson is still uncertain, why not stay for a while and see?"
"Its not too late to make a decision after youve settled in. A decision made in haste might not be the best one. As parents, we should always think about our children first."
"Has Ms. Watson ever asked the young masters opinion?"
"Yes, Ive been thinking about it, and I havent considered Lucass opinion at all. This is a major event in his life. I must ask him what he thinks." Emma realized this point after the butlers words.
