Chapter 39
Emma squinted her eyes, lifting her hand to hook his chin. “Making me jealous is your fault.”
Liam grasped her fingers, leading her hand. “It’s my bad. I promise I won’t make you jealous again.”
“Hmph, that’s…” Before Emma could finish her words, Liam kissed her lips. With one hand holding the finger she had just hooked his chin, and the other supporting the sensitive back of her neck from behind, he made her feel a faint warmth on fer neck skin.
Emma’s mind went blank for a moment. Looking at Liam’s handsome face close at hand, she could even see his thick eyelashes trembling slightly, her heartbeat accelerating.
After a short, tantalizing kiss, Liam moved his lips away from hers. “Kiss away your jealousy. Are you still upset?”
‘I can’t believe I’ve gotten used to his sudden intimacy, I really can’t get angry with him.” Emma puffed out her cheeks. “What do you think?”
Recent events had left Emma feeling physically and mentally exhausted. She lay in the bathtub, resting with her eyes closed. The steamy atmosphere in the room made her feel a bit light–headed, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Even when the knocking on the door started, Emma didn’t respond. Liam frowned and opened the bathroom door directly.
The warm steam hit him in the face, but the scene inside the bathroom made his blood surge rapidly. There was Emma, lying naked in the luxurious white bathtub, her skin so smooth and seemed flawless, her black hair curled up high, revealing her slender neck with its delicate
curve.
Liam suppressed the desire in his heart and carried her out of the bathtub, wrapping her in a towel. She had actually fallen asleep in the bath.
If he hadn’t come in to check, there could have been a risk of suffocation.
That night, Emma had a dream. In her dream, she felt like a soft feather was brushing against her body, tickling her and making her shiver uncontrollably. She tried to stop the feather, but it was incredibly agile and couldn’t be grabbed no matter how hard she tried. It tantalized her more and more fiercely.
She struggled, opening her eyes in the dream, only to find the feather had turned into Liam.
He kissed her hair, caressing and guiding her, from her eyes to her cheeks, to her neck, moving further down….
In the dream, Liam’s legs were healed, and they enjoyed and felt each other’s bodies…
Emma woke up the next morning feeling utterly drained. She frowned, looking at herself lying in bed and thinking, ‘I seemed to have fallen asleep in the bathtub last night. Did Liam carry me to bed?”
Just as she was thinking, Liam, dressed in a suit, appeared beside her bed in a wheelchair. “Good morning, Mrs. Hall,”
Liam was dressed to the nines today, his black hair neatly combed back, looking clear and attractive, giving off a radiant vibe. Yet, Emma felt very tired.
‘How does he look even more spirited than usual?” Emma was curious, she murmured, “Morning… I seemed to feel someone in bed last night…
resurse. It was me.” Liam immediately answered before she could finish. “What’s wrong?”

Chapter 39
Emma wanted to ask what exactly he had done, but she swallowed her words back. “Nothing”
Liam looked at her, smiling, “Did you dream of something last night?”
“No…” Emma’s face turned blush,
“For real?” Liam’s tone was teasing
Liam chuckled softly, his expression unreadable, leaving one unable to guess his thoughts.
Emma replied, “It’s your slow action’s fault. Have you found anything or not? Was it Aria?”
“This time, other members of the Wilson family weren’t involved. Alter Aria got bailed out, she didn’t return to the Wilson family. As for Elijah, his imprisonment is a done deal; he can’t be pulling any tricks now, and the Taylor family isn’t involved either, Josiah explained.
Emma leaned back in her chair, leisurely massaging her forehead. “Aria, relying on Sebastian’s protection, is still struggling despite being on the brink of death. I’m losing patience with her games. You know what to do, right?”
