Chapter 31 Suddenly Drawing Near

Emily took a deep breath, then shot right back at him, "Adam, are you crazy?! Instead of spending time with your mistress in the middle of the night, you come here yelling at me? Showing off how loud you can be, huh?"

"I'm warning you, say one more word and I'll block this number too! I have such a bad memory - forgot you had other numbers. Must be exhausting for you to keep haunting me like this, being such a pain!"

Noah listened to Emily's satisfying tirade, his lips curling up slightly - she really did despise Adam.

But then Adam's words about "she chased after me" and "she was crazy about me" crept back into his ears, and his expression darkened again. Why did someone like that ever get to have Emily's love? Even if it was in the past, he couldn't help feeling insanely jealous.

Why should that idiot deserve even a glance from him? But he just couldn't help it - Zachary's words from the hotel kept replaying in his mind.

He said Emily had been chasing Adam, but why?

What made Adam worthy of that?!

"Adam, I'm telling you for the last time - having liked you is the biggest shame of my life!"

Before Emily could finish, Noah grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side. She turned around confused, only to have Noah kiss her.

Her eyes went wide instantly, barely able to process what was happening. She instinctively tried to pull back, but Noah held the back of her head.

She was forced to receive this kiss, her mind going completely blank in that moment, her eyes and heart filled with nothing but Noah in front of her.

His presence completely enveloped her, even consumed her.

She felt like she'd fallen into a web he'd carefully woven, unable to break free or escape, completely becoming the only prey caught in this net.

"What's that sound?"

Adam's confused voice came through the phone. He listened carefully, his expression growing uglier by the second.

Vivian leaned in to listen, then covered her mouth in shock, "Oh my god, Adam, it sounds like Emily is... kissing someone."

Suddenly, something seemed to explode in Adam's head.

Unprecedented jealousy and rage flooded his mind. He'd always thought Emily was his - to put it bluntly, his backup option. Even though he'd been hot and heavy with Vivian lately, Emily would always stay in place waiting for him, and he could see her whenever he looked back.

"Slut!" Adam cursed furiously, but it didn't affect anyone.

Vivian quickly patted his chest to comfort him, "Alright, alright, Adam, don't be angry. I just didn't expect Emily to be so loose - flirting with you on one hand, being all cozy with Noah, and now hooking up with some other guy. Really didn't see that coming. How could she do something like this? She has no self-respect at all."

"Right? She can't compare to even your little finger! Emily, you just wait!"

Adam roared in anger and hung up, leaving himself fuming.

He couldn't stand Emily being that intimate with another man, but he didn't even like Emily anymore - so why was he so angry?

Maybe it was just possessiveness. Anyway, he didn't need to think too much about it. He just didn't like Emily doing this, so she shouldn't do it!

He didn't care what Emily thought - she was his, and she had to follow his rules!

"Get up, pack your things!"

Adam couldn't sleep anymore. He got straight out of bed and started looking for clothes.

Vivian was shocked, "At this hour? Pack for what? Didn't we say we'd go out tomorrow to take photos and check out the sights?"

"Forget it, we're going back!"

Adam said angrily, "I'm not in the mood anymore. This whole trip has been too exhausting. Aren't you tired? I've had enough. We'll talk about it later!"

With that, he went straight to his luggage, clearly determined.

Vivian was seething, "Emily, you bitch, this is all your fault! I suffered so much, and now I can't even finish the trip. How are you going to make it up to me!"

She cursed furiously in her mind, wishing she could tear Emily to shreds with her words.

But no matter how angry she was, she couldn't change Adam's mind, so she could only struggle out of bed with a belly full of rage and start getting dressed.

"Emily, I won't let you get away with this. You just wait!"

Vivian muttered to herself as she packed, since Emily was so promiscuous, involved with so many men, she could definitely make a big deal out of this!
