Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Hurt All over

When Emilia woke up again, she was already in the major bedroom of the Borus family.

Emilia slowly opened her eyes and felt a man's broad and warm palm on her waist.

Her whole body was almost curled up in Edwin's arms, and his unique smell of mint overwhelmed her.

Emilia froze for a moment, bit her lip, and struggled to get up.

The palm at her waist moved slightly and pushed her into the bed. Then, a man's low and hoarse voice sounded beside her ears.

"Don't move. Sleep a little longer."

Emilia looked up and saw that Edwin had gotten up at some point. He changed his clothes and looked at her lightly.

"During this period, you were undernourished and fainted. The doctor told you to take more rest."

When Emilia thought about the matter of Susan, she pursed her lips and spoke lightly.

"Edwin, I won't make Susan apologize to Martha. That script is very important to Susan. I know you love Chloe, but you shouldn't take her side because of your favor for her..."

"I love Chloe..."

Edwin stared at her with squinted eyes and said lightly, "Since I love her, what's wrong with my taking sides with her?"

Emilia was overwhelmed with envy.

That's true.

He loved Chloe blindly.

Emilia clutched the sheets on the bed and was dumbfounded for a while.

Edwin suddenly leaned over, pinched her chin, and warned coldly, "Emilia, stay away from Chloe, let alone attempt to hurt her."

Emilia's heart was filled with mixed feelings, which seemed to burst out of her body in an instant.

She suppressed her sadness and said calmly, "Mr. Borus, I just hope you reconsider the matter between Susan and Martha."

She was too calm and rational.

For some reason, her words produced displeasure and annoyance in Edwin's heart. He said coldly, "Susan is just a newcomer. Is it difficult for her to keep humble and make an apology?"

"Yes."

Emilia couldn't help mocking, "I know Mr. Borus is bent on getting Chloe's favor regardless of the dignity of others as well as the humiliation they suffered..."

When she became angry, she was as vigorous and aggressive as a little hedgehog.

Edwin's eyes fell on her lips which moved rapidly. He pinched her chin and finally kissed her deeply.

Emilia was a little confused.

She didn't have time to react.

Edwin's kisses were delivered in a domineering manner. When she came to her senses, the man had already left, leaving only one sentence behind.

"There won't be a next time. Otherwise, I will make Susan blacklisted in the entertainment industry immediately."

Was this his compromise?

Thinking of the kiss just now and the man's words, Emilia felt pain in her heart.

But in the end, Edwin never asked Susan to apologize.

Emilia packed up and went downstairs.

The housekeeper greeted her with a smile, "Mrs. Borus, Mr. Borus asked the kitchen staff to stew soup, which could feed the blood and nourish the skin. You should try it."

Emilia sat at the dining table blankly and stirred the soup carelessly.

Afterward, when Emilia returned to the company, she found that Edwin had managed to make Chloe silent about apologizing.

Even Martha was much more docile.

After Susan managed to be a member of the cast, Emilia breathed a sigh of relief.

She was glad to see Edwin relent.

In the evening, Emilia took the stars under her supervision to a banquet.

It was late at night when she returned.

After arriving at the house of the Borus family, she pushed open the bedroom door.

There was the splashing sound of water in the bathroom. Emilia raised her eyes, only to see that Chloe had changed her clothes and was looking at her.

"Emilia, someone spilled wine over me at the dinner party tonight, so I borrowed the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes. Don't you mind it?"

Emilia glanced over the glistening hickeys on Chloe's neck, and her heart ached as if it were torn asunder.

"I don't know that Ms. Kolb's house doesn't have a bathroom and that she has the habit of bathing in other people's houses."

Emilia withdrew her gaze and said slightly with mockery.

Chloe stared at her and suddenly smiled.

"Emilia, I heard that old Mr. Borus always likes you very much. I am not as good as you in terms of the skills of flattery. After all, I left Edwin in the years when the Borus family had an accident. It is understandable that old Mr. Borus dislikes me..."

"Old Mr. Borus is a good judge of men. He knows whether people's kindness for him is out of flattery or sincerity. He always has his reasons for not liking someone."

Emilia interrupted her in a cold voice.

But Chloe's lips curled up, "Is that so? I just don't know if old Mr. Borus would like a granddaughter-in-law who is unable to have children..."

Chloe's words bred in Emilia consternation.

Her voice trembled, "What do you mean?"

Chloe looked at her with pity, "Emilia, Edwin withholds it from you that the reason why you fainted today is that your body has been exposed to cold all year round and suffered a huge drain a few years ago. The doctor diagnosed that it is impossible for you to have any child."

Emilia was petrified.

She could only feel her whole body trembling.

She was indifferent and aloof. Even if she loved deeply, she would not say it out loud.

But in her heart, she longed to have a child with the person she loved deeply.

In her early years, she was treated harshly by the Carter family and lived a hard life. Later, there was internal strife in the Borus family, and she strived hard in secret to help Edwin.

But she didn't expect that these experiences would disqualify her from being a mother!

Emilia froze in place, and her face turned pale.

She didn't notice when Chloe left.

Edwin opened the bathroom door and went in. Seeing that Chloe had left, he lightly ordered Emilia, "Take a bath."

Emilia took a shower absent-mindedly.

When she came out of the bathroom, Edwin grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and looked at her, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Emilia struggled exhaustedly and reminded him, "We are already divorced."

"We haven't obtained the divorce certificate yet."

Before she could resist, Edwin bit her lip and dragged her into the amorous tide of carnal pleasures little by little regardless of her whimper.

It was an orgiastic night.

The next day.

Emilia still managed to go to the hospital.

The test results were released soon.

The doctor's eyes were somewhat apologetic.

"Ms. Carter, your womb suffers from severe cold, and it is difficult for you to conceive at present."

Emilia looked at the test reports and lowered her eyes, "I see."

Walking out of the hospital, she almost crushed the reports in her hand and called Ann.

"Ann, drink with me."

"Do you forget that you are allergic to alcohol..."

Emilia's eyes were red with anger, and she interjected with a hoarse voice, "Let me indulge myself for once."

Ann didn't refuse.

She wondered what made Emilia cease to refrain from alcohol.

In the evening, in the bar.

Ann looked at Emilia silently draining glass after glass of wine, and finally couldn't help but stop her, "Is it because of Chloe?"

Emilia was preoccupied with drinking wine without saying a word.

Ann sighed.

"What's good about that damned Edwin? What do you like about him? Three years ago, you got a marriage certificate with him without saying a word and worked hard to carry out his project on the verge of losing your life. Now, what are you going to do for him? He is not worth your devotion."

The cold wine chilled Emilia's body.

Emilia laughed at herself. She was really hurt all over.

Her marriage was in a mess, and even her body was in poor condition.

She couldn't even have a child of her own in this life.

Grandpa longed to have a grandson so much. If he knew her situation, it would only be a matter of time before he accepted Chloe.

No wonder Edwin and Chloe were so confident.

Emilia gritted her teeth, fought back the tears in her eyes, and drank another glass of wine.

Anna couldn't bear to watch her like this and reached for her wine glass, but she dodged it.
