Chapter 27 I Can’t Afford to Play the Game of Love

Book:Dearest Wife Published:2024-5-1

Jimmy’s words made Emma speechless for a moment.
She refused to have dinner with him not because of who he was, but because she felt that they were no longer suitable to be together like this.
“My colleagues don’t seem to know who you are yet, why are you keeping such a low profile?” Jimmy mocked her lightly, but also seemed to be threatening her.
Emma knew that Jimmy was angry in his heart. He blamed her for not keeping her promise and waiting for him to come back.
Therefore, no matter how Jimmy ridiculed her and attacked her, Emma could endure it.
“Okay, I’ll treat you to a meal.” Finally, Emma stood up and took the lead to walk out the door.
Jimmy’s face did not look good. In fact, he did not really want to say like that. But when he saw her in front of him, he could not help it.
Yes, he just had a grudge in his heart. Emma was the dream that he had pursued in the past. He considered her as a part of his future.
However, she was not like that.
She silently married and even hid it from him for so long. Now that they met again, she had been avoiding him everywhere. This made Jimmy very unwilling.
Emma planned to have a good talk with him.
Although she was the one who made the mistake, she felt that they still had to have a talk. This was good for both of them.
Jimmy took the car and parked it in front of Emma.
Emma hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still opened the door and sat inside.
The car just drove out of Miuccia International Hall and in the CEO’s office upstairs, Daisy slammed her phone hard on the table.
“Emma, you shameless little vixen, how did I warn you? You are not allowed to seduce my Jimmy. Are you deaf? Tomorrow, I will teach you a lesson.” Daisy angrily cursed and gritted her teeth.
Jimmy was in a trance driving the car while Emma sat beside him, taking away most of his thoughts.
“Jimmy, stop the car. Let’s go to this building to eat.” Emma said.
“I can’t eat it. I’m sick.” What distracted Jimmy was the video on Emily’s phone. He had fantasized about marrying Emma countless times. But she slept with another man.
Emma’s body stiffened and her expression became even more unnatural. Her two small hands tightened the seatbelt and moved her small mouth but she was unable to say anything.
“Mia, you and Archie can divorce. I will still marry you. I don’t mind.” Jimmy’s eyes were scarlet red and carried a thick pain. He stared at Emma and said those words as if he had thought about it carefully.
Emma trembled again. She bit her lower lip and her eyes turned red. She shook her head. “This marriage cannot be divorced. I cannot make the decision. Jimmy, I promised to eat with you just now because I wanted to tell you clearly about this matter. Forget about me. We won’t be able to return to the past.”
“Why not?” Jimmy growled with hatred.
Large tears fell from her clear face. Emma buried her face in her palm and cried sadly, “Jimmy, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. It’s good that you hate me. I just can’t get a divorce.”
“It’s you who covets wealth and doesn’t want a divorce.” Jimmy firmly believed that Emma’s pain was faked. As long as she wanted a divorce, no matter what, she could get a divorce.
Emma’s heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife. She held back her tears and mocked herself. “My grandfather worked hard to raise me. I can’t let down his kindness. Jimmy, you are right. As the daughter of Quinsley Family, sooner or later, I will be taken to a commercial marriage.”
“Did your grandfather force you to do this? Do you really not love Archie?” Jimmy’s face was full of pain and shock.
Emma smiled bitterly and said, “Before we got married, I haven’t even met Archie. How could I fall in love with him?”
What she said was the truth. Although Emily and Archie were dating, she had really only seen a few scenes of Archie on TV.
Who knew that man would be so hateful.
Jimmy looked like he had been dealt a heavy blow. He hit the steering wheel twice with hatred and was extremely angry. “It was my incompetence. I did not create better conditions for you.”
“No, it’s not your fault. Jimmy, I have always wanted to thank you. Ever since I was young, you have been the only one who has been good to me.” Emma saw his fist being smashed and quickly stopped him. Her eyes were sincere and deep. “Forget about me. Go and find someone you love. Starting from scratch, you will be happy.”
“Mia, you don’t understand. No one can replace your position in my heart. I will wait for you!” Jimmy suddenly held her little hand tightly. There was sadness in his eyes, but more of it was persistence and determination.
Emma panicked and immediately shook her head, “Don’t wait for me!”
Jimmy was still firm. “I can wait. I have waited for you for so long.”
Actually, she did not have that kind of love between men and women. She was more of a friend to him.
“I will definitely let you down. Even if I divorce, I won’t have the face to be with you. Jimmy, don’t be so persistent.” Emma sighed.
Jimmy loosened his grip on her hand. His face suddenly turned livid and ugly. “In the end, you have never loved me, right?”
Emma did not dare to face his eyes full of pain and questioning. She bit her lips and did not dare to answer.
“I am so stupid. I always thought that you liked me. In the end, it was just my wishful thinking.” Jimmy finally understood the reality.
These words were finally said. Emma didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. She knew Jimmy’s feelings for her and also knew that her feelings for him were not love. Therefore, she didn’t take the initiative to call Jimmy when he left the country for two years. She hoped that he would forget about her.
“Get out of the car!” Jimmy’s face suddenly turned cold.
Emma pushed open the car door awkwardly and stood on the side of the road. Jimmy’s car sped away.
It suddenly rained from the sky.
Emma was standing on both sides of a bush. It was so empty that there was not even a place to hide from the rain. She had no choice but to pick up her bag, raise it above her head, and run forward with all her might.
