Before Emily could respond, Adrian had already removed his lips from hers.
He held his thumb to his lips, looking satisfied. "Good girl, I was merely exercising my right as a husband in advance."
Emily's flushed face turned pale instantly.
Adrian patted her head lightly and said in a soft voice, "Don't think too much about of it. Rest well.”
Emily was rendered speechless.
They barely even knew each other, yet he was already doing such intimate things to her. Moreover, he had the nerve to ask her not to overthink things!
Fortunately, Adrian didn't stay long and left after she finished eating the food he had bought.
As for Emily, she continued to stay in the hospital for three days as the baby was still unstable.
During those three days, the Whitmore family's servant, Bella smith, was in charge of taking care of Emily.
Meanwhile, Ryan had only called her once to ask when she would be discharged. He had already gotten all the documents ready and was just waiting for her to go to the City Hall to get divorced.
Neither Chloe nor Ryan's parents had shown up at the hospital at all.
After three days of rest, the doctor finally informed Emily that she was ready to be discharged. He also advised her to be extra careful in the first trimester and to control her emotions.
Thus, after an afternoon nap, She started packing her belongings and got ready to leave the hospital.
Bella was helping her pack. When they were almost done, Bella suddenly said,
"Miss Dawson , Mr. Whitmore said that he'll be here to pick you up."
Emily couldn't believe that Adrian was coming to pick her up.
She did not intend to go anywhere with him!
At least, for the time being, she preferred not to be together with him.
However, nobody could stop Adrian.
When Emily and Bella were walking out of the hospital, they saw Adrian's car already waiting at the entrance.
Emily did not make a fuss and got into the car. She knew that her refusal would not make any difference.
"Since today is a working day, I'd appreciate it if you could drop me off at the office," she said.
"I refuse."
"Why?" Emily asked.
"It's troublesome."
Emily held back her anger and said,
"Well, where are you planning to bring me then, Mr. Whitmore?"
As soon as she spoke, her mobile phone rang and the display showed Ryan’s name. She pursed her lips and answered the call.
"Emily, you've already been discharged, right? Come straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau now, so that we can file our divorce. Everything's ready, I'm only waiting for you!"
Emily's voice was full of urgency.
Emily's lips curved into a smile. She glanced at Adrian, who was in the
driver's seat, and said, "You mean now?
It's true that I've been discharged, but I'm with Mr. Whitmore now. I'll need to get his permission first. Why don't you give him a call and ask for his opinion?"
Even though she had already decided to get a divorce with Ryan, it would not be that day, and most definitely not now.
She had her own plans.
"Caroline, the divorce is just between the two of us. What does it have to do with Mr. Whitmore? I'm warning you, you'd better get here now. I'm giving you half an hour..."
Before Ryan could finish speaking,
Emily hung up the phone.
At the same time, Adrian started to drive away from the hospital.
Once again, Emily's mobile phone rang again. Seeing that it was Ryan calling again, she blocked his number straight away.
A flash of sardonic smile crossed her face. She was certain that Ryan would not have the courage to make a call to Adrain.
As expected, throughout the whole journey, Adrian did not receive any calls from Ryan.
When Emily noticed that he was heading toward white Mountain Villa, she asked,
"Mr. Whitmore, are you going to bring me back to your house and pamper me like a princess?"
Her words were dripping with sarcasm.
However, Adrian seemed unaffected. "Is there anything wrong with pampering my fiancée and the mother of my child?"
The corners of Emily’s mouth twitched slightly. He seemed to always be able to get back at her without any effort.
She replied, "Of course there's nothing wrong with that! In fact, you're helping me solve a big problem by bringing me home since I have no idea where to stay tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Adrian took a glance at her in the rearview mirror. He did not expect that her spirit had recovered so quickly from everything that had happened.
Obviously, he had underestimated her by thinking that she would be down in the dumps for a long time.
Ryan’s family also resided in White Mountain Villa. However, they stayed in Villa No.10, while Adrian stayed in Villa No. 1, which was the best in the area.
Needless to say, the price and prestige of
Ryan's villa were incomparable to Eddison's.Tyler and his family seemed to have been constantly on the lookout for Emily and Adrian.
The moment Adrian's car turned into the villa area, Emily noticed the Carters and Chloe peeking out at them.
It seemed that she had no choice but to face Ryan head on!
