Second Chances

Eventually. Emma said, “I think it’s better to wait until I recover before eating spicy food.” 

Liam’s eyes were filled with joy. He touched Emma’s forehead and said, “Good girl” 

*****Dealing with Charon Military School and the voices online was easy for Liam. However, after this incident, there were still many rumors that Liam was “married.” 

No one knew that Emma was Liam’s wife. Although not online, there were still people who discussed it in private. 

After Emma recovered, she prepared to return to school. However, Liam took a few more days off for her. “There’s no hurry. We have more important things to do than return to school.” 

“What?” After the illness, Emma was a little thinner. Her chin was sharper, and her eyes were big and lively. 

Liam smiled without talking. Levi, who was beside him, also smiled. He knew but did not tell Emma. 

Emma smiled. “Is it a surprise for me?” 

“You’ll see.” Liam said. 

Liam’s car stopped at the mall. There was a Sayekine Restaurant in the mall 

Emma thought that Liam was bringing her to taste the newly developed ice cream cake again. Unexpectedly, when they passed by Savekine Restaurant, Liam did not bring her in. 

“Aren’t we here to eat cake? Emma asked curiously as she followed Liam past the cake shop 

Liam said, “We can come if you want later. But that’s not today’s main mission.” 

“Main mission?‘ As Emma thought, they suddenly passed by an electronics shop. 

The salesperson standing at the door naturally recognized the couple in front of him was rich. “Sir, ma’am, would you like to see the latest mobile phone?” 

Liam thought for a moment. There was indeed a new batch of electronic equipment recently. Although those foreign production companies and factories had sent many prototypes, Liam never wanted to give Emma prototypes. He still wanted to bring her to buy it. 

“Shall we go and take a look? Liam asked. 

“Sure,” Emma said calmly. She was not interested in the new phone but could look at the computer, tablet, and some 

accessories. 

They chatted and were about to enter when Emma suddenly saw a familiar figure at the checkout counter near the exit. 

The woman was wearing a simple white T–shirt and washed jeans. Emma raised her eyebrows. “Lane?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

-Liam followed Emma’s gaze and saw that it was indeed Lane. “Go say hello!” 

Emma looked at Lane. She seemed to have just paid. She was holding a white bag in her hand. Emma wondered what Lane had bought. 

Lane did not notice Emma and Liam. She just paid and left in a hurry. 

Emma pursed her lips. There’s no need. She’s probably busy” 

Emma understood Lane. Lane wouldn’t spend unless it was necessary. The electronic equipment in this shop was not cheap. 

However, someone had given Lane a phone. Lane probably made a purchase this time to return the favor. Emma didn’t want to disturb Lane. Everyone had their secrets. 

Emma took Liam’s arm and walked past the display tables. She selected a few hardware and softwares that interested her. After the purchase, Liam took her upstairs. 

Half an hour later, in the dark rainy afternoon, at the dark entrance of Troln City’s Mysterios, Lane took a deep breath and opened the door of the private room with the laptop she had just bought. 

The room was filled with smoke and the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. 

When the door opened, everyone looked in Lane’s direction. Lane quickly lowered her head. Her long black hair covered her uneasy expression. She quickly walked to the boy sitting before the table in the middle of the private room. She did not dare to look at the expression on his face, let alone see him hugging women. 

Lane stuffed the white paper bag into Erza’s arms as quickly as possible. Then, she turned and left. 

A wave of loud commotion sounded behind Lane. 

“Yo. Mr. Burnson, where did this innocent girl come from?” someone asked. 

“Are girls so generous these days? It’s the latest Mac model. It costs over 2,000 dollars, right? another asked, laughing. 

The private room was filled with children from wealthy families Lane knew that after Erza dropped out of school, he did. not return to his family, nor did he look for any other job. He drank and partied nearby almost every day to kill time. 

Erza’s hair was dyed dark purple. It would make most people look very punkish, but his face was particularly dazzling and good–looking. He looked like a flirtatious ruthan. 

Erza spoke, “Stop right there.” 

Lane stopped. 

Erza raised his eyebrows and glanced at what Lane had placed on his lap. Without touching it, he said, “What do you mean by this?” 

Lane clenched her fists and straightened. “I know you don’t lack these, but I don’t want to owe you 

Erza frowned. He held a cigarette, and smoke rose from it. 

Lane was about to leave when Erza said impatiently, “Take it away” 

Lane clenched her fists even tighter. She took a deep breath and walked away arrogantly, shimming the door. 

“Fuck.” Someone in the crowd teased, “Mr. Burnson, this girl has quite the temper. You don’t like her?” 

Erza said coldly, “Does she look like my type to you?” 

The two women sitting beside Erza laughed out loud. They word clothes that showed off their figures and expensive 

accessories 

“Then, Mr. Burnson, what is your type? Am I your type?” a woman asked. 

Erza narrowed his eyes frivolously and blew smoke at her collar. I like big breasts. Are you big?” 

“How naughty of you…” the woman said flirtatiously. 

The room was filled with laughter again. 

Suddenly, the door of the private room opened again. 

+ 79% 

Lane had returned with anger on her face. “I know you don’t like what your grandfather did to you, but how long do you plan to stay like this?” 

When Lane finished, the atmosphere in the private room turned a little cold. 

The second–generation heirs here were all very wealthy and influential. However, when they were together in the private room, they could only suck up to Erza. 

After playing for so long, they had never seen anyone so bold to speak to Erza like this. 

As expected, the atmosphere turned icy. 

Erza’s expression turned cold as he stubbed his cigarette in the ashtray. He stood up and looked down at the stubborn and thin Lane. He sneered and said, “Isn’t it just a lousy phone? Do you think you’re very familiar with me?” 

On the other side, Emma followed Liam to a store on the second floor of the mall that did not have an obvious name The exterior of the shop was pure black. The door was not big and was not eye–catching. 

Standing outside, Emma couldn’t even figure out what was being sold inside. 

Emma looked puzzled. “So mysterious? Are you going to give me something?” 

Liam’s smile deepened. 

After they were brought into the shop by the salesperson, the shop door quickly closed. 

Liam explained, “This shop only accepts a pair of newlyweds a day.” 

What Liam said was a married couple. Not clients, not boyfriends and girlfriends, or any others. 

Emma guessed it almost instantly. Before she could be surprised, two shop assistants had already walked out with two rows of haute couture wedding gowns.
