Love's Redemption: From False to True After Rebirth
Chapter 3
"Cheers!"
A few friends of mine and I gathered in a barbecue restaurant and chatted with each other.
Ethan put his arm around my shoulders. He and I had been friends for many years, and he was also a victim of Emma's high-pressure persecution for many years.
"Aiden, what are you thinking? Why are you dating that devil instead of Ada? Are you a masochist?" he asked.
I grinned, but my heart was filled with sadness. In my previous life, Ethan's family was ruined because of me, but I couldn't tell him.
I could only pat him on his shoulder. "I'm saving you from Emma. She will be much more friendly once we're married. I'm doing your best!"
"Oh, come on! Don't play with us now!"
They jokingly scolded me, then raised their glasses to toast. Before I could drink the wine in one gulp, the glass in my hand was taken away by a slender hand. I turned my head and found Emma standing behind me with a gloomy face.
"Darling!" I shamelessly hugged her waist and shouted loudly, which made her feel helpless.
We ran for a long time last night before we stopped and agreed to give each other some time. But due to my shamelessness, she was forced to accept my proposal to her.
I winked at Ethan, and he tactfully made room for Emma to sit down. I smiled at him with satisfaction. "It's so good for me to see you act like an adult, Ethan!"
In the past, he would definitely call me an idiot and then kick me back, but this time, before he could scold me, Emma hit me first.
"Aiden, respect your colleagues!" she said.
"Emma is right! Take your wife's advice, Aiden!" Ethan and my friends took the opportunity to tease us, causing Emma's delicate face to blush slightly.
Given the right atmosphere, I grinned, reached out my arms and hugged her waist, holding her tightly in my arms. However, years of stereotypes made this scene look very strange, as if I was her dog.
After Emma symbolically struggled for a few seconds, she leaned in my arms, and I felt a little proud.
Although Emma was known as a workaholic, it didn't overshadow her beauty.
Thinking that I gave up Emma, who liked me in my previous life and pursued Ada, that scumbag, I even wanted to dig out my eyes and wash them with disinfectant!
Ethan said, "Emma, when are you going to marry my pal? We are all looking forward to attending your wedding!"
Emma rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. "Ethan, I don't want to discuss it right now."
I agreed with her. "My darling is right! I suggest that you give him all my work tomorrow so that he can know what he shouldn't say!"
"Aiden is right! You should take over all his work tomorrow," Emma said.
I didn't expect Emma to agree with what I said. This made me feel a little secretly happy, and I looked at Ethan proudly.
When Ethan heard that he was going to take over all my work, his face changed, and he begged for mercy to Emma in a crying voice, which made the atmosphere of the dinner party even more humorous.
I breathed a sigh of relief. In my previous life, Ada and I had done the same thing with Ethan and the others, but Ada always had an indifferent expression and was unwilling to give me any face in front of my friends.
While we were chatting, a familiar woman suddenly appeared in my sight. It was Ada!
I don't know when she approached us and suddenly overturned the table. In an instant, countless iron sticks and glass bottles were about to hit Emma and me.
"Aiden!"
