Confused, Emily took the excuse Chloe gave and said to Alexander, “Didn’t you tell me just now that your company has a meeting this afternoon? Let’s go. I’ll walk you out.” 

Alexander caught the hint of her dismissal but still brazenly replied, “I’ve already arranged it. The meeting can go on without me. The most important thing for me today is to accompany you here tonight.” 

After that, to prevent Emily from rejecting him, he looked at Ryan and Chloe beside him and said, “I think Ryan and Chloe won’t feel at ease if you go alone.” 

Hearing this, Emily got a bit anxious. “Alexander, you…” 

Alexander gave her a faint smile, with a strong sense of determination in his eyes. 

Emily thought that with Ryan’s temper, he wouldn’t let Alexander stay. 

However, the next moment, she heard Ryan say, “Then go upstairs and rest first.”

The servant did as told. 

After the servant led Alexander upstairs, Emily frowned at Ryan and asked, “Ryan, why did you let him stay?” 

Ryan looked up at Emily and said seriously, “At least he can keep you safe.” 

“But I…” Emily urgently said. 

Ryan interrupted her, “Just this once. 

Having no other choice, Emily had to follow Ryan’s decision. 

At five in the afternoon, Aaron arrived at the entrance of 

Carter Manor. 

After receiving the call, Emily put on a long coat over her tight–fitting dress and was about to go downstairs quietly. 

But just as she reached the stairway, Alexander, who had been staying in the guest room, suddenly opened the door. 

“Ms. Carter, did you forget something?” His voice 13:15 

was low, with a hint of a smile in it. vet also a tinge of

Seeing this, Alexander smiled and walked towards her. 

As he got closer, he whispered, “Even if you don’t take me with you now, I’ll still come later. Why bother sneaking away?” 

Without a word, Emily walked downstairs, and Alexander followed closely behind. 

Before reaching the entrance of Carter Manor, Emily spotted Aaron’s car. 

At the moment, he stood beside the car, looking extremely handsome in his black overcoat. Outside, it was drizzling, with fine raindrops falling. 

It was just a little past five, and the sky had already begun to darken. 

Aaron stood beside the car, holding a large transparent umbrella, waiting quietly. 

When he saw Emily coming out, he slightly lifted the edge of the umbrella, and a warm smile instantly appeared on his face.

The moment Aaron saw Emily come out of Carter Manor with Alexander, his heart felt as if it had been pricked by a 

needle. 

However, looking at Emily approaching him, Aaron still walked towards her with a big smile, holding the umbrella. 

As they stood together, Aaron tilted the umbrella entirely towards Emily. He looked down at her with a tender smile and uttered gently, “Emily.” 

Emily looked up at Aaron and replied with a smile, “Aaron.” 

Before going out, she had put on makeup, covering the slight bruises on her face. 

To Aaron, she seemed as if she wasn’t ill at all. 

Aaron shifted the umbrella to the other hand, stood beside Emily, and said, “Get in the car.” 

Standing beside them, Alexander rolled his eyes at Aaron’s actions.

Emily heard him and glared back at him. 

Seeing Emily’s glare, Alexander deliberately turned his face away, neither looking at her nor saying a word. 

Aaron also heard it but wasn’t angry. He just gave a faint smile and repeated, “Emily, get in the car.” 

With a nod, Emily responded, “Okay.” 

Aaron held the umbrella and walked side by side with Emily towards the car. 

Reaching it, he smoothly opened the front passenger door. 

Right behind them, Alexander witnessed this. He rushed forward and grabbed Emily just as she was about to step in.. 

Then, with a cocky smile, he said to Aaron, “Sweetie can sit in the back. She’ll be with me, after all.” 

Although Emily tried to yank her hand back, Alexander was too strong. In a flash, he stuffed her into the back seat.

handsome face. Raising an eyebrow at Aaron, he drawled, “Mr. Thomas, let’s hit the road.” 

There was that half–smirk on his face. 

Aaron put away the umbrella and glanced back at Emily in the back. Seeing the guilt in her eyes, he still gave her a warm smile and said, “Emily, fasten your seat belt.” 

Emily nodded and replied, “Okay.” 

As she leaned over to grab the seat belt, Alexander beat her to it. He quickly buckled it up for her. 

Then, beaming at Aaron, he said, “I’ll take good care of my babe. You don’t have to worry, Mr. Thomas.” 

Aaron just ignored Alexander and got in the driver’s seat. 

Starting the car, he drove off. 

On the way to the Italian restaurant, Alexander wouldn’t stop chatting with Emily in the back. 

“Babe, are you tired? Want me to give you a massage?

“Babe, you’re so cool, and I dig it. 

“Babe, give me a smile, come on.” 

Emily knew Alexander was just trying to get under Aaron’s skin, so she kept quiet all the way. 

Seeing her calm attitude, Aaron couldn’t help but smile. 

Even without a response from Emily, Alexander kept on teasing because he was eager to see her smile.
