Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The Priceless Silver Ring

Emilia stepped out of the coffee shop and received a call from Edwin.

"Come back to the house of the Borus family with me at night, old Mr. Borus wants to see us."

"Uh-huh."

Emilia agreed.

Her voice was calm, but on the other end of the phone, Edwin's eyebrows slightly lowered, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

Emilia was stunned.

She seemed not to understand what he meant.

When she recovered, he had already hung up the phone.

His reservation kept her in suspense.

In the evening, the two returned to the house of the Borus family.

Edwin took her by the shoulder and walked into the house.

Old Mr. Borus was in a good mood, and he asked them to stay and chat after dinner.

"You are not too young, and it is time to have a child."

Emilia was slightly embarrassed, but Edwin refused unhurriedly, "Emilia and I don't plan to have children in a short time."

Emilia stopped her hand holding the knife and fork, and she lowered her eyes to conceal the hint of disappointment in them.

Each time Edwin slept with her, he took safety measures.

How could she have a child...

She couldn't figure out whether he didn't like children or... their children.

Edwin discerned her dismayed look, and his eyes sank slightly.

However, old Mr. Borus on the side had already lost his temper, "Quit this bullshit!"

Old Mr. Borus seemed to have thought of something. He stared at Edwin angrily and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the little girl from the Kolb family is back. Could it be that you are still in love with that woman?"

"Back when the Borus family was in a crisis, that woman broke up with you without hesitation. Don't forget who has been with you for so many years. The Borus family won't accept that kind of woman who seeks fame and fortune without being faithful to her lover."

Before Old Mr. Borus finished speaking, Edwin frowned and interjected with displeasure.

"Grandpa, you misunderstand those matters. Chloe had her reasons for breaking up with me. She is not the kind of person you think. Do you think she is willing to watch me betray her and marry another woman?"

Another woman.

Listening to Edwin's defense, Emilia felt that her heart was swelling with envy.

Old Mr. Borus got furious when he heard the words, but Emilia suddenly spoke out.

"Grandpa, these things have passed. Why bother to bring them up again? Edwin and I are busy now. Let's put aside the matters of children for the time being."

She was docile and considerate. Old Mr. Borus looked at her for a while before he sighed heavily and said nothing more.

Edwin's deep and gloomy gaze also fell on her, and it took a long time before he withdrew it.

In the end, old Mr. Borus had something to say to Emilia, while Edwin leaned against the car and waited for her.

When Emilia came out, Edwin was smoking a cigarette. Lighted by the scarlet sparks, his expression was gloomy and indifferent.

Seeing her come out, the two got into the car.

Edwin looked at her lightly and suddenly said, "Do you like children?"

Emilia was stunned for a moment, her heart was beating fast, "Yes... At least I don't hate them..."

Thinking that if it was her and Edwin's child, she felt a bit of anticipation.

She might be a good mother.

However, in the next second, Edwin's words suddenly shattered her fond hope.

"I don't like children. Emilia, we won't have children."

His voice was almost unfeeling.

It seemed to be a slap in the face that admonished her not to overestimate her position in his heart.

After a timeless time, Emilia fought back her tears and responded in a low voice, "I see."

She lowered her head, as if avoiding Edwin's almost humiliating gaze.

She didn't notice the coldness and gloom in Edwin's eyes that rested on her.

In the evening, Edwin was very brutal on the bed.

She was tossed and turned, and she couldn't help but bit her lip and beg for mercy in a low voice when indulging in the carnal pleasure.

Edwin's kiss was peremptory and domineering, but it gave Emilia a sense of security.

She hugged Edwin, but her eyes were full of sadness.

When it was over, Emilia lay on the bed, she was too sleepy to keep her eyes open.

Edwin took a bath in the bathroom.

The WhatsApp's notification sounded several times, and Emilia had to get up.

The star under her supervision resorted to her in urgent need of the previous script.

Emilia went to the study, found the script, and was ready to send it over.

She opened the drawer, only to find a ring lying quietly inside.

Emilia quickly recognized that this was a priceless silver ring auctioned by the royal family of Gallia Country.

Since the story behind it was romantic, Emilia had intentionally mentioned it in front of Edwin, in the hope that he would give it to her.

Emilia's eyes moved slightly. She took out the ring, only to see two bright letters engraved on the silver ring as if mocking her wishful thoughts.

CK.

Chloe Kolb.

What she had longed for... was taken away by Chloe so easily.

Emilia was dumbfounded. She put the ring back quietly and accidentally glanced at the documents in the drawer.

She saw the divorce agreement.

Emilia was stunned for a long time, and her body was impregnated with chills that kept gnawing at her flesh.

She was lost in thought. When Edwin pushed open the door of the study and came in, she didn't even notice him.

He approached her soon.

He picked up the divorce agreement and placed it in front of her with a pair of slender hands.

Emilia raised her head and met Edwin's deep and dark eyes.

He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Emilia, let's get a divorce."

Emilia was silent for a long time before she asked hoarsely, "Is it because of Chloe?"

"Well." Edwin explained lightly, "Chloe has suffered a lot and developed various diseases in order to come back to see me secretly all these years. The psychiatrist said she couldn't live alone and had to rely on me."

"It's a good thing to reunite after long-time separation."

Emilia signed the divorce agreement with a calm expression, "I will move out tomorrow."

"No." Edwin looked at her and said slowly, "It will take some time for grandpa to accept Chloe. During this time, you will still stay here and play the role of Mrs. Borus. After she is recognized by grandpa, I will give you six million dollars as compensation fee."

Nothing bad.

Emilia clenched her palms tightly, and her voice was dry, "Okay, remember to inform me when you get a marriage certificate."

Edwin raised his eyebrow noncommittally.

Emilia turned around and was about to leave. But Edwin's deep eyes seemed to be fixed on her body from behind, "At the beginning, why did you agree to marry me?"

Emilia lowered her eyes.

Why?

It was because she wanted to gamble with everything she had.

She betted that Edwin would love her.

Unfortunately, she lost.

She suffered a downright loss.

Emilia bit her lips tightly and let her tears fall in torrents. The dewiness in her eyes seemed to be unable to be dried out.

After a long time, she said, "It's nothing. It's probably not bad to be Mrs. Borus."

Edwin looked at her receding back for a while before he looked away.

Emilia knew that after she and Edwin divorced, Chloe would replace her as Mrs. Borus.

But she didn't expect to see Chloe at the company the next day.

"Emilia, this is Director Ms. Kolb. She graduated from a famous international school and has rich experience in the operation of the entertainment industry."

Hearing the eager introduction from her boss, Emilia stretched out her hand calmly, "Hi, I'm Emilia."

Chloe smiled lazily.

"It's not our first meeting, so you don't have to be so polite. Edwin was afraid that I'd be bored when I returned home, so he appointed me as the director. In terms of ability, I'm not as good as you. He said that you should be my instructor."
