The Unveiling Beauty

Chapter Nine 9 The New Year's Family Gathering ll

Emma touches her lips and was still in shock, she looks at herself in the mirror her hair was messy her cheeks flushed.

"That was my first kiss and he just took it away like that" she said with wonder. David comes out of the bathroom and then he looks at Emma who has buttoned up her shirt, he wore pyjamas and Emma ran into the bathroom clearly avoiding him.

Emma puts on her pyjamas too and climbs the other side of the bed. "Have a good night, your father is a scheming master I was scared of using the bathroom"she said, without looking at him.

"He's still going to be watching our every move"he said. Emma says nothing and then closes her eyes to sleep David looks at her curled up and asleep. He felt uneasy all of a sudden and then he sighs and closes his eyes, going into deep thoughts "What's wrong with me maybe it's because she reminds me of mother" he said in his heart.

The next morning

Emma felt like she wasn't breathing properly and opens her eyes there was a large hand on her slender waist it was warm. Her cheeks turn red in an instant they were at the middle of the bed and David's hand rested on her waist he was sleeping so peacefully, "Even in his sleep he's being naughty"she mutters to herself. Emma quietly and slowly raises up his hand and then rolls out of his grip, she gently drops his hand on the bed and leaves the bed to the bathroom. Immediately David heard the bathroom door closing he opened his eyes, turns out the king of mischief was wide awake all along, his lips curled up slightly, she was just a shy thing wasn't she.

Emma comes out of the bathroom in a robe and dries her hair. "You've woken up good morning" she said drying her hair. David stands up and then goes to her, "Let me do it don't say a word he might still be watching" he said whispering in her ear.

David takes the hair dryer and then he dries her hair, "your dad is a pervert you know watching young couples" she whispered to him. David says nothing and pokes her waist "Get up let's run" he said.

"Okay"she said nodding, she watches David walk into the bathroom and she shrugs and goes to the closet.

David and Emma hit the road and start running together, well after a while somebody gave up. Emma kicked a stone and yelped in pain, "My foot" she cried, David's face turns ashen and he turns around and sees Emma with red eyes.

"My foot" she cried. "You are one hell of a calamity just the queue we needed" he said going back to her. Emma places her foot down and tears fall down.

" You can't" he said with an annoyed look,

"Come hop on my back" he said.

"What Mr Clarkson what are you saying?" She said.

"You might as well crawl then, stop nagging and do it" he said.

"Okay" she said climbing his back, David carries Emma on his back and she closes her eyes to sleep enjoying her self.

It was already breakfast time and everyone had gathered, "I wonder where sister and brother in law are" said Lisa.

"Oh there they are" she said everyone's attention was drawn to the living room as David carries Emma on his back, drifting off looking extremely cute. Liam's heart tingled, as he watches them; they were feeding everyone dog food now.

"What's wrong with her" Old man Clarkson asked.

"Emma's tired she injured her foot" David said.

Old man Clarkson remembers what he was watching last night the brat must have tired the little girl out. David says nothing else and goes upstairs he drops Emma who had fallen asleep on the bed.

"She even got the nerve to sleep" he said,

He takes off her shoes her big toe was red and a bit swollen. He looks at her sleeping peacefully and then his lips form an arc, he presses on her injured foot, "Ahh..." Emma opens her eyes and drags her foot from his grip, but his grip tightened

"What are you doing?" She yelled.

"Dare to fall asleep on my back you lazy thing" he said

"I..I... didn't mean to I was just tired, by the way a piggy back is fun"she said. He applies a little force.

"Not on my back" he said his face cold, Emma was going crazy"Let go are you having pleasure seeing me in pain why are you're so heartless" said Emma, her eyes red.

"I'm trying to reduce the swelling you i***t"he cursed.

"You're doing it on purpose to teach me a lesson" she cried.

"Of course you have been too naughty you need some taming you little viper, always getting me on my nerves" he said, cracking her toe that was slightly bent.

Emma felt like fainting this man was so heartless, he didn't even give her something to bite, damn him!!! She cursed him in her heart.

"Go freshen up and I'll apply some ointment on it to reduce the swelling, "Thank you for causing me pain"she said with a sarcastic smile. David says nothing

as he watches Emma hop like a bird into the bathroom and then he chuckles.

She was such an adorable little thing, the couples come downstairs with David supporting her. When she was about to fall he swoopes her in his arms and then carries her to sit down, Aunt Si sneered these two were definitely annoyed, they were going to cause problems especially Emma, she was like a vicious snake now.

"How's your foot?" Aunt Si asked.

"It's fine it's a little better David helped me massage it and apply some ointment, my husband is so good to me" she said with red cheeks. After breakfast Emma goes upstairs and then she sees the old butler Mr Richard coming out of their bedroom Emma hides in a corner, "David must have been right, cunning old pervert" she cursed. Old man Clarkson sneezed in the living room wondering who was cursing at him.

Emma realized her foot was better after that arrogant man's massage he was such a grudge holder"she mutters to herself and she takes her laptop and then goes to the garden and writes something. David suddenly left home in a hurry maybe something happened at the company, well that wasn't her business. Emma busied herself writing a book online well she couldn't fully depend on her arrogant husband for everything, she didn't want the same thing to happen again.

"How's your foot?" Came a familiar voice, Emma pauses and looks up Liam was right in front of her.

"It's better why'd you ask" she said with a cold face. Liam sneered and then sits next to her, Emma shifts to the farthest end. Liam studies her "You can go now" she said.

"Nice technique, Emma I applaud you from the mountain, you're hooking up with my brother just to get to me, I'm not so easily forgotten" said Liam. Emma hits him "how dare you call me a promiscuous woman are you listening to yourself, David and I are married and do you know why he's better than you, he's satisfied with one woman and loves me for who I am whether I'm thinking or thick unlike you who plays with two sisters and is so malicious " said Emma standing up. Liam's face turned ashen as there was a hand print on his face he grabs her hand and looks at her.

"I'm not buying that, Emma you have only me in your heart, you're trying to show me the best version of yourself" said Liam.

Emma smiles "Your imaginations is running wild brother In law, David and I love each other so stop trying to play mind games here and sowing discord too before I hit you again, by the way I'd rather die than go back to you, you're nothing but trash in my eyes" said Emma her eyes filled with disgust and hatred, she pulls her arm from his grip. "I feel so dirty being touched by you, this is my last warning " she said walking away with a cold face. Liam was so embarrassed she had changed a lot he watched her go and then he sits down thinking about something. Emma walks in taking off her jacket and then throwing it into the bin. Unknown to her a pair of round eyes were staring at Emma, the figure comes out from the corner it was Lisa she had seen everything that was happening and she dug her nails into her flesh gritting her teeth.
