Renewal Of Love

Chapter 38 Start Dating

Emily squinted her eyes at Sam. "Do you think she'll be happy if she gets to return to the company?"

"Why do you say that?"

Sam was surprised by how Emily had come to this conclusion. He raised his eyebrows as he stated,

"She has so many things that weigh heavily on her mind, and that's why she has been pretty

depressed." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"She must be." Emily nodded wistfully. Even though she could not solve the problem, she avowed, "I'll

try my best to make her feel better."

"That's nice of you." Sam turned his gaze towards the dark sky, the soft moonlight hitting his face.

"Would you like to go on a walk?" he asked in a low voice.

"Of course." With her eyes glistening, Emily bit down her sudden excitement. Slowly walking to his

side, she spoke in a soft voice, "Where are we going?"

"Nowhere, just around."

There was a park located near the cafe. Emily seldom visited such places, and neither did Sam.

As they walked amongst the greenery, soaking in moonlight, a strong whiff of fragrance engulfed them.

Emily couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It smells so amazing. There must be many flowers here."

"Look over there!" Sam pointed towards a parterre as soon as he spotted it. As he noticed her childlike

glee, his mouth stretched into a smile.

"It's so beautiful." Emily was entranced by the colorful flowers. Even at night, they were blooming

proudly.

She bent over, inhaling the perfumed air as she closed her eyes.

Sam watched her from a distance, the smile never leaving his face. As he was about to say something,

his phone buzzed in his pocket.

As he fished it out, the caller ID showed his mother’s name.

'Maybe she wants me to come home, Or she is trying to make me go on a blind date again,' he

thought. A frown grew on his face as he thought deeply, deciding not to answer it.

Even after he put it back in his pocket, the phone kept ringing. Emily looked up at him in confusion.

"Why aren’t you answering it?"

"It's fine. It's just my mother." Before hearing her reply, Sam started walking ahead.

Emily was not convinced. She followed beside him, prodding, "Shouldn’t you be answering your

mother’s calls?"

Sam had always been a respectful person. This was not like him!

Stopping abruptly, he addressed her in a gentle tone, "She has been urging me to come back. It

doesn't matter, I’ll talk to her later."

"Really?" Emily knotted her eyebrows, as she added, "Is it about dating again?"

Sam nodded uneasily, not meeting her eyes. Fortunately, Emily was not one to indulge in spreading

gossip. He trusted her with his secrets, despite not wanting to talk about this with anyone.

"Do you need any help?" Emily raised her eyes at him. Her heart was filled with joy at the opportunity of

being helpful to him. She felt excited, her mind already brewing with ideas.

Sam gazed at her, confused. "How can you help me?"

"I can pretend to be your girlfriend and come home with you!"

Her words hung in the air, followed by a deafening silence. Emily was not just anyone, speaking so

casually with him. She was a gorgeous girl, belonging to a rich family.

He was also deeply impressed by her character. No matter whose girlfriend she was going to be, she

deserved far better.

Sam hesitated, not liking her idea.

"No, thanks." He had never even thought about doing this kind of thing, let alone doing it.

His refusal surprised her, making her look away. She wondered if it was because he didn't like her.

She stepped forward, her eyes stinging. "Why? Do you think your parents will be unhappy if you bring

me?"

"No! It’s not that!" Ruining her mood was the last thing he had wanted to do. He just didn't want her

reputation to be damaged because of faking his girlfriend. His lips drooped into a frown. He wanted to

explain, but nothing came out of his mouth.

Emily pursed her lips and forced a small smile. Patting his shoulder, she assured him, "It’s fine. I

understand."

She started walking forward, but she still felt very sad. Looking up at the starry night sky, she sniffed

and tried to calm herself down.

Sam was watching her walk away, feeling guilty. 'Have I gone too far just now? She was just trying to

help,' he thought.

"Emily?"

Sam caught up with Emily and walked by her side. She turned her head away at his voice. She didn't

want him to see her red eyes.

"What? What's up?"

Failing to calm down, she felt her heartbeat get faster.

"How about the day after tomorrow? Do you want to accompany me to my home?"

His words left Emily frozen in her step. She turned her head, her eyebrows raising.

She wondered if she had heard him wrong. Her eyes twinkled in the dim light as she addressed him,

"What did you just say?"

"I said, come home with me. You’re right. I have to find a way to stop my family from talking about my

love life all the time." Sam gave a warm smile and spoke. "I've thought about it. You're the only one

who can help me."

It was not easy for Sam to admit it. She parted her lips, not believing what he was saying.

"Okay! I will help you."

She chuckled, her tears turning into smiles, and continued to walk forward with Sam. This night was

destined to be unusual, but who was in Sam's mind? Was it the woman walking beside him?

Of course, the night was not over yet.

Cherry was dejected, being sent back to the villa by Kevin. She never dared to question him, so she

had no choice.

Now that Anne was pregnant, she was wary of her words. Earlier that day, Kevin had informed her that

he wanted to accompany Anne. When she asked him to stay, his whole face had immediately changed.

If she hadn’t quickly given in to him, after noticing the stern look he was giving, he would have hated

her.

Back in the villa, Cherry lay on the sofa. The servant had noticed her scowl, but still boldly asked her,

"Miss Cherry, do you need a cup of tea?"

"What did you just say? It's almost midnight! Do you want me to gain weight?"

Cherry spat, not even bothering to spare a glance. The servant dared not to say anything further and

retreated. She was in a bad mood. Anyone who provoked her would surely be treated awfully.

The servants were aware of what kind of person she was. Although she pretended to be virtuous in

front of Selma and Kevin, they knew the overbearing and rude personality she hid beneath.

They never dared say these thoughts in front of Kevin or Selma. If they were not careful enough, they

knew they would be punished miserably.

Cherry was scowling when her phone rang in her bag. She rolled her eyes and reached out to answer

it.

"Who is it?" Her tone grew impatient as she didn't care who was at the other end.

"It's me, Cherry. I haven't seen you in a long time. Why do you sound so angry?"

A familiar voice echoed from the other end of the call. Cherry sat up straighter and checked the phone

number, but she still had no idea who it was.

"Who are you?"

"Who do you think I am? You don't remember but we used to play together when we were little. I’m so

sad you forgot!" A silvery voice belonging to a woman could be heard. Even from her voice, you could

tell she must be a beautiful woman.

Cherry thought it over but still had no clue. "Sorry, I don't know who you are!"

"It's me. Ruth!"

the woman on the other end shrieked her name in excitement.

"Ruth!" Cherry burst into a chuckle as it dawned on her. Ruth was the daughter of the Sun Family. They

had been good friends for the longest time but due to Ruth traveling abroad for studies, they had

stopped talking.

She was not expecting Ruth to contact her again. It made her feel so happy.

"You're back? When did you come back?"

"Not long ago. I wanted to call you as soon as I got off the plane!" Ruth taunted Cherry, "But it looks like

you didn’t miss me at all!"

"Of course not! I could never forget you!"

There was no chance of Cherry forgetting Ruth! In the past, the two would go on shopping trips and

enjoy the life of fair ladies.

Along with living lavishly, the greatest pleasure between them was seeking adventure wherever they

went. Bullying Anne was one of the things they enjoyed together.

"That's better." Ruth was in a good mood, and it could be felt through the phone. "By the way, I heard

that Anne married Kevin?"

Cherry was taken aback at this, her blood boiling. She replied through gritted teeth, "Yes, you are well-

informed!"

"My brother told me. I was not expecting this news!" Ruth felt sorry for Cherry as she said, "My brother

thinks that Kevin still likes you, then why would he marry someone else?"

"Well, you just came back. Let's not talk about her." Cherry quickly changed the topic, "Are you free

tomorrow? Let's meet up!"

"Of course. See you tomorrow!"

After she hung up the phone, Cherry's mind was abuzz with evil ideas as she darkly smirked.

"Anne, I will make your life miserable!"

Stepping into the shopping mall the next day, Cherry almost didn't recognize Ruth.

"Ruth, you are even more beautiful from when we last met!"

Standing gracefully, Ruth had her hair coiled into a bun. She was petite and vicarious. When she

smiled, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

She was adorned in a white dress, making her look elegant, along with an LV handbag that swung in

her hand.

As soon as their eyes met, Ruth broke into a wide smile.

"So are you, Cherry! You have always been beautiful!"
