Semua Bab Rebirth: Contract Marriage With Ex-fiance's Uncle: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Chapter 71 EMMA POV Cole and I have been clinging to each other since his dad started staying here. Cole and I hang out at the pool side, watch movies together, laugh together, and even pretend to kiss sometimes whenever his dad is watching. This was supposed to be frustrating. I should be mad, but I wasn't. Instead, I was enjoying every bit of it. I love when he wipes my mouth with his thumb in the dining room, when he looks at me and smiles, when he tells me dry jokes that aren't supposed to be funny but we had to laugh about it. In short… I'm falling for Cole, and the more I try not to, the harder I fall. This is not good for me. We're going to get divorced eventually. I shouldn't allow myself to be this attached to him, but I can't help it. He is everything I never knew I needed in a man. Cole's Dad talked about having babies last night over dinner. The old man desperately wants Cole to give him a grandchild. Cole and I haven't talked about it yet. He hasn't brought it up,

Chapter 73 EMMA POV My eyes lingered on Cole as he slept peacefully on the sofa. My mind drifted off to last night, and I sighed. He was crying on the balcony, and I couldn't even console him. Maybe he needed that moment for himself. I had told myself as I retreated back to the bed, but I didn't fall asleep until he went to sleep. I rolled out of the bed tiredly and stepped out of the room quietly. “Emma…” dad's voice echoed behind me just as I stepped into the hallway. I paused and looked back behind my shoulder. He had just stepped out of his room. “Dad… Good morning,” "Good morning, dear. Did you sleep well?” He walked up to me, smiling. "Hmm. What about you?” He nodded. "Are you heading somewhere?” he asked after his eyes swept over me. "Oh… not really. I was just going to take a walk around,” I chuckled softly. “Mind joining you?" He asked, and I quickly nodded. “Yeah, sure," He glanced at our room and back at me. “Cole must be exhausted from hanging out with y

Chapter 75 EMMA POV “Daniel?" I called surprisingly. How is he here? Did he stalk me? I stood and picked up my bag, but just as I turned to leave, he caught my wrist, bringing me to an abrupt halt. I yanked his hand off angrily. “I told you to stop showing your face in front of me. We're over, Daniel!" I said, trying not to raise my voice. “You've been ignoring my calls and texts. Would you leave you alone if you were in my shoes?" He asked, trying to be calm. "What's going on, Emma? What's happening between us? What happened to us?” He tried to touch me, but I took a step back. "You know I love you… with everything in me. Why are you doing this to me, huh?” My stomach riled up with anger. Hearing ‘I love you’ from him felt disgusting. I tried to walk away quietly, but he blocked my way. “Come on, Emma. Don't be like this, please," My eyes wandered around. There were people present in the café… They were already staring at us. For a moment, I thought of snapping at hi

Chapter 77 COLE HART “The responses came out positive, Mr. Hart. We finally got the Montgomery contract, and Mr. Louie looks like he's going to change his mind about the contract," Marcus said with excitement. “Announcing your marriage was really a smart thing to do," he added. “We've also gotten many deals worth millions after the press conference…” Marcus concluded, but the whole time, I was just staring out of the window without saying a word. I was barely listening to what he was saying. “Boss? Are you okay?" I finally looked back at him over my shoulder, and nodded slightly. "You're not fine…” Our eyes locked for a moment, and I sighed before going to sit on my chair. “Do you want to talk about it? You know you could always talk to me," I kept quiet. "Ms. Emma…" he said, and I lifted my gaze to him. “Is this about her?" My eyes lingered on him quietly. Is it that obvious? "Are you in love with her?” He asked, and my breath caught, my fingers slowly tightening in

Chapter 79Next dayEMMA POV Cole picked me up after work for dress fitting.He drove to one of the most popular boutiques in town that sells high-end dresses.A young lady in her twenties welcomed us with a smile.“We're attending a corporate dinner party. I need you to style my wife beautifully," Cole's arm slid around my waist, gently pulling me close.My breath caught."Alright, sir. Trust me to do a good job,” The lady came to stand behind me, placing her hands on my shoulders before gently leading me away.“We'll be right back, Sir," she said to Cole before leading me away.She led me into the fitting room, then left and came back minutes later with a rack of clothes."These are the best dresses we have at the moment. I'm sure your husband is going to like them,” she said, running her fingers through the dress.She paused and picked out one of them."You should try this on first," she handed me the one she had picked.A white dress.I changed into the dress and stepped out to s
