Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 39 Emma squinted her eyes, lifting her hand to hook his chin. “Makingjealous is your fault." Liam grasped her fingers, leading her hand. "It's my bad. I promise I won't make you jealous again." "Hmph, that's..." Before Emma could finish her words, Liam kissed her lips. With one hand holding the finger she had just hooked his chin, and the other supporting the sensitive back of her neck from behind, he made her feel a faint warmth on fer neck skin.

Emma's mind went blank for a moment. Looking at Liam's handsface close at hand, she could even see his thick eyelashes trembling slightly, her heartbeat accelerating.

After a short, tantalizing kiss, Liam moved his lips away from hers. "Kiss away your jealousy. Are you still upset?" 'I can't believe I've gotten used to his sudden intimacy, I really can't get angry with him." Emma puffed out her cheeks. "What do you think?" Recent events had left Emma feeling physically and mentally exhausted. She lay in the bathtub, resting with her eyes closed. The steamy atmosphere in the room made her feel a bit light-headed, and she fell asleep without realizing it.

"Knock, knock, knock." Even when the knocking on the door started, Emma didn't respond. Liam frowned and opened the bathroom door directly.

The warm steam hit him in the face, but the scene inside the bathroom made his blood surge rapidly. There was Emma, lying naked in the luxurious white bathtub, her skin so smooth and seemed flawless, her black hair curled up high, revealing her slender neck with its delicate curve.

Liam suppressed the desire in his heart and carried her out of the bathtub, wrapping her in a towel. She had actually fallen asleep in the bath.

If he hadn't cin to check, there could have been a risk of suffocation.

That night, Emma had a dream. In her dream, she felt like a soft feather was brushing against her body, tickling her and making her shiver uncontrollably. She tried to stop the feather, but it was incredibly agile and couldn't be grabbed no matter how hard she tried. It tantalized her more and more fiercely.

She struggled, opening her eyes in the dream, only to find the feather had turned into Liam.

He kissed her hair, caressing and guiding her, from her eyes to her cheeks, to her neck, moving further down....

In the dream, Liam's legs were healed, and they enjoyed and felt each other's bodies...

Emma woke up the next morning feeling utterly drained. She frowned, looking at herself lying in bed and thinking, 'I seemed to have fallen asleep in the bathtub last night. Did Liam carryto bed?" Just as she was thinking, Liam, dressed in a suit, appeared beside her bed in a wheelchair. "Good morning, Mrs. Hall," Liam was dressed to the nines today, his black hair neatly combed back, looking clear and attractive, giving off a radiant vibe. Yet, Emma felt very tired.

'How does he look even more spirited than usual?” Emma was curious, she murmured, "Morning... I seemed to feel someone in bed last night...

resurse. It was me." Liam immediately answered before she could finish. "What's wrong?" 12:58 Sat, 6 Jul Chapter 39 Emma wanted to ask what exactly he had done, but she swallowed her words back. “Nothing" Liam looked at her, smiling, "Did you dream of something last night?" "No..." Emma's face turned blush, "For real?" Liam's tone was teasing Recalling the images from last night made Emma blush even more. She even dreamt that the feather was darting around her body. "I didn't dream of anything. You get out now. I need to get up and change clothes.” Liam chuckled softly, his expression unreadable, leaving one unable to guess his thoughts.

Only after Liam left the bedroom did Emma support her tired body to go to the bathroom to freshen up. While brushing her teeth, she saw her neck in the mirror and was stunned.

Her neck and the skin under the unbuttoned button were covered with red marks. Even without experience in sex, Emma knew what that meant "Liam?" She wanted to settle accounts with Liam, but he was not in the room Emma was fuming in silence.

Josiah said on the other end of the phone, "Don't be mad. I've found all the information you askedto look up. Why are you still exhausting us?" He didn't know what was wrong with Emma that made her so irritable Emma replied, "It's your slow action's fault. Have you found anything or not? Was it Aria?" "Yes, only Aria," Josiah replied immediately, afraid that a slow answer would set Emma off again.

Emma seemed unsatisfied with this answer. “What about the rest of the Wilson family? And Elijah, that jerk?" "This time, other members of the Wilson family weren't involved. Alter Aria got bailed out, she didn't return to the Wilson family. As for Elijah, his imprisonment is a done deal; he can't be pulling any tricks now, and the Taylor family isn't involved either, Josiah explained.

"Hmph, Aria still has stricks up her sleeve. She even managed to track down Kate to use against me." Emma had been investigating various news about Brad and Kate during this time. She discovered that Kate had met with Aria several times recently. It was likely Aria, having failed to stir Liam with photos, decided to target Emma using Kate.

Emma leaned back in her chair, leisurely massaging her forehead. “Aria, relying on Sebastian's protection, is still struggling despite being on the brink of death. I'm losing patience with her games. You know what to do, right?" Besides Aria, Emma had many other things to handle and people to confront-Kate, Brad, and the person who last tried to take her life.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Mrs. Hall." It was the butler's voice.

"The Wilson family is here. They're making a ruckus at the entrance of covine Estate, insisting on seeing you," said the butler with concern. "Mr. Hall once instructed that they should not disturb you, and asked us to drive them away when we see them. I'm here to inform you." With Liam's orders, they wouldn't let anyone into Icovine Estate.

12:58 Sat, 6 Jul Chapter 39 However, this time, Emma changed her mind. "Let them in, It's been a while, and I happen to have quite a few questions for them."

Emma barely recognized Mateo and Nora after months apart. From what e she knew, after the bankruptcy of the Wilson group, they accumulated a lot of debt, Zoe was now feigning illness in bed daily, and Mateo was taking Nora around, constantly hiding from their creditors.

"Get to the point. I don't have much tfor you." Emma cut straight to the chase.

Mateo's face turned red instantly, "Emma, no matter what, I am still your biological father. Father. With the Var m Wilson family going through tough times, you haven't shown any sympathy. Even animals aren't as cold-hearted as you."

"So, it's about money after all, isn't it?" Emma sneered. "Banks won't lend to you, and you can't even get a loan Q from loan sharks? You know what, the interest I ask is even higher than theirs." "You..." Mateo was furious but was stopped by Nora. They cto ask Emma for money. When seeking a favor, one must maintain the correct X
