Chapter 5
I rolled down the car window, revealing Jasper in my arms.
I
Grumpy from just being woken up, he looked at Nathan and
said, “She’s my mom. If I don’t call her mom, then what should I
call her?”
Nathan pressed his lips tightly together, his eyes showing
disbelief with a hint of fear flickering through them.
I quickly coaxed Jasper back to sleep.
After a long while, I looked up at Nathan, who seemed to have
completely broken down.
“As you can see, I’m married now. This is my son.”
“So, Mr. Garrett, I think you should let us through. If I’m late
getting home, my husband won’t be happy.”
I’d already said this much, so I thought Nathan wouldn’t keep
\pursuing me relentlessly anymore.
But he stared at me with teary eyes and shook his head without
hesitation.
Chapter 5
“Impossible. Emma, how could you possibly be married already?
You must be lying to me!
“All these years, I’ve checked up on you. There’s no record of
you being married!”
At this point, he seemed to have found his confidence.
“You’re just lying to me, trying to avoid me. You’ll really try
anything!”
I knew about what Nathan mentioned.
I’d even received notification the very day he investigated my
information.
It was just that because of Ryan’s special status, all information
wouldn’t be made public.
So my identity as his wife was also classified as confidential.
“Nathan, I’ve already said this much. Can you please stop.
pestering me?
“I’ll say it one more time–I have a husband, and my husband is a
soldier. Are you sure you want to interfere with our marriage?”
As I spoke, I showed a challenging look.
Chapter 5
“That could land you in prison for life!”
Was sti
As soon as I said this, Nathan for a long time, his
expression complex.
I thought that after saying this much, he surely wouldn’t keep
being stubborn!
Then, out of nowhere, he let out a hysterical roar.
“Impossible! I don’t believe you could get married so quickly. I
don’t believe it!”
In that instant, I felt very puzzled.
Five years ago, he looked down on me with disdain. Now why
was he clinging to me so desperately?
Just as I was still confused, a voice from behind me made me
overjoyed.
“Unfortunately, even if Mr. Garrett doesn’t believe it, Emma is
still married.”
Holding Jasper, I immediately rushed out of the car and threw
myself into Ryan’s arms.
I smiled so wide my eyes squinted, asking him in surprise.
Chapter 5
“How did you get here? Didn’t you say you had a mission to
execute?”
Ryan took Jasper and affectionately stroked my face.
“The mission happened to be nearby. After I finished, I came
over to see you and your mother.”
Jasper woke up, saw Ryan, called out “Daddy,” then went back
to sleep.
When Nathan saw our intimate actions, his eyes nearly popped
out.
He clenched his jaw so hard I could hear his teeth grinding.
Ryan stepped past me, looked at Nathan behind us, and
extended his hand.
“Ryan, also Emma’s husband.”
Nathan squinted, lost in thought for a long time, but then.
completely changed his attitude, showing no gentlemanly grace
at all.
Not only did he refuse to shake hands with Ryan, but he also looked at us both strangely.
Finally, before leaving, he showed a meaningful smile.
Chapter 5
“Ryan, a member of the Morrison family, huh? I heard you joined
the military. Makes sense now!
“I just wonder if Emma knows about the love and hate between
you two!
“Are you sure you married Emma because you love her?”
Nathan then turned to look at me.
“Emma, I’ll let you know that I’m the one who truly loves you. Ryan’s purpose for marrying you isn’t pure!”
I frowned.
Somewhat puzzled, I watched Nathan leave, then turned to ask Ryan.
“What did he mean by those last words?”
Under the dim lighting, Ryan’s expression was hard to read. He lowered his head and mumbled without meeting my eyes.
“Maybe he’s gone crazy.”
