Chapter 310 What Are You Doing Back in There

A cursory peek was all it took before encountering the explosive hashtag: [Shock! Well–known food blogger® publicly asks for a price using her body as a bargaining chip!]

The revelation jolted a sense of surprise.

Once clicking through to the comments, it was a pleasant shock to find them more amicable than anticipated.

Sure, there were the naysayers, but the majority offered calm perspectives.

[Not every Tom, Dick, and Harry who tunes in can be called a fan. Just look at those bone–headed questions in the live–stream.]

[Come on, it’s obvious the blogger’s just protecting herself. Since when is self–defense a crime?]

[Right on! Yeah, her words were a bit over the top, but let’s face it, in LA, there aren’t many who’d dare take on Ethan.]

When Vanessa emerged from the bathroom, Emily said, “Saw the Instagram trend.”

Vanessa paused, then let out a nonchalant laugh. “Big deal. It’s all talk. Doubt anyone’s got the guts to follow through.”

But the worry persisted. “What if someone does?”

Without missing a beat, Vanessa declared, “I’ll meet them. Anything to stick up for you, I’m in.”

Noticing Emily’s deep–seated worry, Vanessa softened her tone. “But seriously, don’t fret. Meeting them doesn’t mean I’m gonna do anything stupid.”

This only seemed to ramp up Emily’s concern. “No way! What if they’re just after your body? You’ll be in serious. trouble.”

Sensing the depth of the fear, Vanessa walked over to the bedside, wrapping a comforting arm around the worried Emily. “Alright, I won’t. No need to worry your pretty head,” she cooed.

The worry spilled over into tears. With a voice muffled by the shoulder it was buried in came Emily’s heartfelt plea.

grievance.”

A gentle pat on the back accompanied the reassurance. “Okay, I won’t go.”

Up on the second floor of Carter Manor, in Emily’s bedroom, there came a dull thud.

Swiftly, a figure slipped in through the window.

The room was pitch–black, with only a faint glow seeping in from outside. It was almost impossible to make out the

furniture inside.

But Alexander was no stranger to this place. He’d been here so many times that he could navigate it with his eyes closed. Even in the dark, he found his way straight to Emily’s bed.

When he reached the side of the bed, his hand felt no warmth.

Alexander groped around carefully and finally realized that Emily wasn’t in the bed.

Looking around at the cold, desolate room, Alexander figured Emily hadn’t come back yet.

So, he shrugged off his coat and plopped right into Emily’s bed, as if he owned the place.

The room seemed to have been unoccupied for a while. He couldn’t catch a whiff of that familiar, sweet scent he

loved so much.

Ever since Emily started keeping her distance, Alexander had promised himself he’d stay away from Carter Manor.

But, he just couldn’t help himself. His heart was in a constant tug–of–war.

In the end, Alexander decided to stop fighting it. He just had to come and see for himself.

Regardless of the reason behind Emily’s growing distance, his love for her was unwavering, and his longing to have her by his side burned as bright as ever.

Why on earth should he let her mood dictate his actions just because she was pulling away?

heart, he’d been too yielding.

Whether Emily reciprocated his feelings or not became a secondary concern.

The key was not to let her approval or disapproval hold so much sway over him.

No matter what, Alexander was determined to win Emily

over.

He wouldn’t rest until she was his.

After calming his ruffled emotions, Alexander couldn’t contain his excitement. He wriggled around in the bed, thinking he’d warm it up for Emily.

That way, when she came back from a long day, freshly showered, she could slip into the cozy warmth and drift off to sleep.

However, time ticked by. Alexander waited and waited, even binge–watching a short TV series on his phone, but there was still no sign of Emily.

Just as his patience was wearing thin, the voices of Chlogg Lyst

and Ryan echoed from outside the room

“Hey, Ryan, you’re home,” Chloe greeted.

“Yeah. Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Ryan replied.

“I’ve been waiting to talk to you about Emily. I’ve got a funny feeling about her,” Chloe said, a hint of worry in her voice.

“What’s going on?” Ryan asked, his interest piqued.

Chloe continued, “I called her for dinner tonight, but she said she was swamped with overtime. Then, when you said you weren’t coming home, I thought I’d take the extra food to her at the hospital. But when I got there, she was nowhere to be found. I asked the nurse on duty, and she said Emily doesn’t have night shifts until next week, and it seems she didn’t even show up at the hospital today.”

Ryan furrowed his brow. “Maybe she went to Joy Gardens to visit Sophie?”

“Even if that’s the case, why lie about it?” Chloe shook her head.

Ryan’s frown deepened. “I’ll give her a ring.”

happened to her?”

Ryan was equally concerned. “Let’s head over to Joy Gardens and check it out.”

As they made their way downstairs, Alexander flung open Emily’s bedroom door.

Hearing the noise, Chloe and Ryan instinctively turned around.

Seeing Alexander, Ryan paused and asked, “What are you doing back in there?”

Alexander rushed towards Ryan, ignoring the question. Instead, he blurted out, “Ryan, did you say Emily hasn’t been back to the Carter Manor in the past couple of
