Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Lurking in the Shadows_1

The two of them were like an ordinary couple, lying in bed, feeling each other’s warmth and savoring the tenderness of the moment.

Ethan Smith gently held Emily Taylor’s hand, and their eyes sparkled with unusual affection.

The two drew closer and closer, close enough to feel each other’s breath.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

Ethan Smith looked somewhat annoyed out the window.

The visitors turned out to be a group of well-dressed young men from Capital City.

Ricardo Bowman, Darnell Bradley, Daphne Green, and others had almost all come to this place.

“Damn it, how did they find out?” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

This was ruining his perfect moment!

Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor hurried downstairs, and as soon as they reached the bottom, Ricardo Bowman and his group approached them excitedly.

“Miss Taylor, it’s finally nice to see you,” Ricardo Bowman said politely.

Emily Taylor also responded politely, graciously returning a smile.

“Miss Taylor, we were deeply saddened by the incident last time, but thankfully Ethan Smith was there,” Darnell Bradley said with a grin.

“We heard you were back and rushed over.”

The crowd exuded warmth, but Ethan Smith felt quite a headache coming on.

“By the way, Mr. Smith, Miss Taylor, I am hosting a dinner party at my house today,” Ricardo Bowman said, slapping his chest proudly.

“This party will serve as a welcome back for Miss Taylor!”

Emily Taylor furrowed her brows and shook her head with a smile, “That’s not necessary.”

“Oh, come on, Miss Taylor, don’t turn me down. This is specially prepared for you!” Ricardo Bowman said enthusiastically.

Emily Taylor didn’t respond but looked at Ethan Smith, seemingly waiting for his answer.

Ethan Smith let out a small sigh and said, “Alright, we’ll come soon.”

“Great!” Ricardo Bowman said excitedly.

“Then we’ll see you tonight!”

Ricardo Bowman left with his group, leaving only Daphne Green behind.

It was clear that Daphne Green and Emily Taylor had a good relationship, as they chatted and laughed together, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

“The dinner party hosted by Ricardo Bowman must have all sorts of miscellaneous people attending,” Daphne Green said with a bitter smile.

Emily Taylor laughed, “That’s just how Ricardo Bowman is. It’s fine.”

Daphne Green joked, “We’re not like you, so popular in any social circle.”

Although said in jest, it was true.

Daphne Green and the others’ assets were not top-notch, but they were just gifted in martial arts.

Emily Taylor, on the other hand, was different. Back then, the Taylor family had significant influence in Capital City, and they had to be given face in all fields.

Later, Daphne Green shifted the topic to Ethan Smith.

“Emily, I have to admire your taste,” Daphne Green laughed.

“I was initially skeptical about how much courage it took for you to choose a poor boy with no background. Now it seems I was shortsighted. The Taylor family’s reputation for good taste is well-deserved.”

Emily Taylor laughed and said, “Do you think I like Ethan Smith just because of his good taste?”

Daphne Green had a surprised look in her eyes, seemingly waiting for Emily Taylor’s answer.

Emily Taylor laughed, “I do believe Ethan Smith will have his achievements, but that’s not the reason I’m fond of him. It’s more about love.”

“Even if he had no accomplishments at all, I would still be willing to support him.”

Daphne Green opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say for a moment.

For Daphne Green and the others, their lives had become a field of interests.

It seemed that everything in the world had been given a price, including people.

“Ethan Smith is indeed crazy for you,” Daphne Green shook her head with a smile.

Hearing this, Emily Taylor unconsciously looked at Ethan Smith.

Her gaze toward Ethan Smith seemed to carry a different color.

“Alright then, Emily, see you tonight,” Daphne Green didn’t stay too long. She greeted Emily Taylor and left.

When she left, Emily Taylor went to Ethan Smith.

“It seems the meal we prepared won’t be needed,” Emily Taylor said, spreading her hands.

Ethan Smith muttered under his breath, “Yeah, I was going to cook noodles for you.”

“Mm… Now that you mention it, I’m curious to try the noodles you cook. That would be your first time cooking for me, right?” Emily Taylor blinked and said.

Ethan Smith also laughed, “I wanted to try your fish, too. Tomorrow, let’s stay home and not see anyone!”

As they spoke, Emily Taylor said with some concern, “You know that many people are interested in my bloodline; are you not worried about any mishaps at tonight’s dinner party?”

Ethan Smith put down the remote control in his hand and sneered, “I want to expose those hidden people!”

Emily Taylor opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but soon laughed.

“You’re right; you’re no longer the Ethan Smith who used to be bullied by anyone.” Emily Taylor gently patted Ethan Smith’s forehead.

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but be lost in thought.

He wondered how long they could enjoy these peaceful days.

…

Evening came.

Ethan Smith dressed in a suit and accompanied Emily Taylor, who was dressed to the nines, to the Bowman residence.

Emily Taylor’s appearance was like a beautiful landscape, attracting enough attention wherever she went.

Several people at the Bowman house came forward to greet Emily Taylor.

Emily Taylor responded to each one politely.

“Emily, come sit here,” Daphne Green waved to Emily Taylor.

Ethan Smith followed Emily Taylor to the sofa.

The entire venue was packed, and all those attending were prominent figures of Capital City.

Ethan Smith sat to one side, remaining silent. He released his divine sense, covering the entire venue.

One, two, three… A total of six formidable auras lurked in the shadows.

Ethan Smith snorted and said, “Someone is really watching us.”

“What’s wrong?” Emily Taylor noticed the anomaly in Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith shook his head with a smile, “Nothing.”

At that moment, a young man holding a wine glass walked up to them from a short distance.

He walked directly to Emily Taylor and said with a smile, “Miss Taylor, long time no see.”

Emily Taylor nodded slightly, as if to greet him.

The young man continued, “Miss Taylor, would you like to dance with me?”

Emily Taylor looked at him and said without mercy, “Not interested, and even if I were, I wouldn’t dance with you.”

The young man heard this and couldn’t help but put his wine glass down on the table.

“Emily Taylor, are you still pretending to be the privileged daughter of the Taylor family? Do you still think Mike Taylor is protecting you?” the young man said mockingly.

Emily Taylor’s face showed no emotion, she only laughed and said, “What does that have to do with dancing with you? Even if I had nothing at all, I wouldn’t look up to you.”
