Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Emma was thinking about it when, suddenly, there was movement from Liam behind her. His hot hand wrapped around her waist from the side, delving deeper into her fitted nightgown and tracing over her flat belly, his fingers exerting force.

Emma felt his hand moving upward, soon touching the area above her belly. It tickled, but she couldn’t resist as she was pretending to be asleep, so she had to let his hand roam.

She did her best to maintain her steady heartbeat and breathing until Liam’s kisses landed.

All she could be sure powerful man.

ire of now w was that Liam’s am’s leg was fine and he wasn’t impotent. And judging by his stature and size, he should be a sexually Realizing what he might be about to do to her at any moment, Emma was about to lose control of her heartbeat. Suddenly just then, Liam’s tongue pried open her teeth..

She thought at first that it was just a normal kiss until she felt that he was consciously rubbing the tip of his tongue delicately over her front teeth, and an idea suddenly exploded in her mind–she overlooked a crucial detail; she left a bite mark on his hand, and now he was confirming the shape of her teeth.

At the thought, Emma’s heartbeat snapped up instantly, whereas breathing and demeanor could be controlled, trying to control the rate of her heartbeat was not so easy. Liam quickly sensed her nervousness, his voice muffled. “Awake?”

“Well... How am I supposed to sleep when you’re kissing me like that?” Emma said.

“I thought you were going to pretend to be asleep.” Liam’s half–joking tone made it hard to gauge what he was really thinking.

“To avoid me make out with you.”

“It’s not like we can’t make out.” Emma maintained her composure. “Mr. Hall. Do you want it?”

“Very much so.” What Liam really wanted to say was, “I’ve been thinking making out with you for a long time. Since the day you moved into my house, my mind has been filled with all sorts of images like this‘ He had restrained himself for so long, and it was already the limit of his strong willpower. He thought to himself, “You don’t want me to know your secret but it’s fine if I tell you mine.”

Feeling Liam’s breathing becoming more and more rapid, Emma felt a bit nervous. Just as Liam was about to move his whole body and flip over to press her down fiercely, she suddenly burrowed into his embrace, hugged his waist, and at the same time, lay him on his side on the bed. “Don’t worry. We have a long life ahead to make out.”

Her sudden embrace took Liam by surprise, interrupting his original action, and there was a moment of silence in the air. Their bodies were pressed together, and even the rise and fall of each other’s breath could be clearly felt.

She felt his hot, big hand stop moving. After a while, he also hugged her from behind, indulgently patting her shoulder gently.

Emma was still thinking about last night’s events when she went to class the next day. If it hadn’t been for her sudden move last night, Liam might have already revealed the secret of his legs/it was not that she didn’t want him to be honest, but if he was open and she kept her secret, she would feel guilty.

“Just wait a little longer... thought she.

The atmosphere in the classroom today was a bit strange. Emma sensed that everyone seemed to be whispering about something, yet they deliberately avoided her. It wasn’t until after the first class in the morning that the homeroom teacher personally came to Emma’s classroom door. “Emma, come with me to the office now.”

Upon arriving at the office, Emma was met by two uniformed police officers. She glanced at the homeroom teacher, and the officers said, “We’ve received a call from your parents saying your sister has been missing for at least three days and nights.

Have you seen your sister, or 84%

Chapter 42 perhaps do you have any information about her?

“No,” Emma replied, her gaze unflinching, her expression so resolute that it took the officers slightly aback.

“Please think about it carefully. Really no?” the officer asked again. Emma had a history of discord with Aria, so it was quite natural for the police to question her when Aria missed.

She said, “Hasn’t she been arrested? How could she be missing?”

“Your sister was previously released on bail. Didn’t you know?” the officer asked.

“I seem to have heard about it, but I didn’t care about it, thinking it was just a rumor. After all, seeing is believing.” Emma didn’t lie. Even yesterday at the abandoned villa, she didn’t see Aria with her own eyes; she was merely guessing based on various pieces of information that Aria might be there. But before she could enter the villa, she was already entangled by Liam and his men. So, she didn’t have absolute evidence to prove that Aria was indeed there.

“Alright, you can go back to class now; we’ll continue the search,” the police officer said.

After the police left, the homeroom teacher sighed. “Alas, it’s such a pity for Aria. When she was excellent in her studies, all the teachers liked her. But as one scandal followed another, trust in her gradually waned. I just heard from two officers that she might have been killed.”

“For real?” Emma asked nonchalantly, “Did the police say who they suspect might be responsible?”

“I’m not sure. I don’t know,” the homeroom teacher replied. “But you should be mentally prepared; there might be public opinion surfacing soon. However, the innocent ones will prove their innocence, and your focus should still be on your studies.”

“Thank you. I’ithead back to my class now,” Emma said without changing her expression.

Just as she was about to leave, the homeroom teacher stopped her. “Hey, Emma. Do you know how to fix computers? If I remember correctly, you were at the top of the class in the last computer exam, right?”

Emma wanted to say that what she learned about computers had little to do with fixing them, but the homeroom teacher said with a worried look, “Alas, I’ll have an open class next yet I can’t get my teaching materials to copy.”

“I’ll check it for you.” Emma stepped forward, clicking properties and the background system configuration, quickly identifying the problem In less than a minute, the computer was back to normal. “You should save your teaching materials regularly and not store everything on one computer to prevent crashes.”

“Wow, Emma, your c asked.

computer skills are amazing! Are you also planning to become a programmer in the future?” the homeroom teacher Emma was speechless but still smiled and half–jokingly said, “Yes, in fact, I am the famous hacker Stox.”

The homeroom teacher’s facial features instantly stiffened, but the next second, she burst into laughter. “I can’t take it. You’re too funny. When you become Stox, don’t forget to give me an autograph. I’ll tell everyone that Stox fixed my computer...”

Seeing the homeroom teacher not believe her, Emma couldn’t help but laugh along. After Emma left the office, the homeroom teacher, while booting up the computer, couldn’t stop laughing “I thought Emma was quite a loner, but it turns out she has a sense of humor. The previous rumors were too outrageous, claiming that Stox was attending our school. That’s simply impossible. No wonder even Emma made a joke out of it. It’s hilarious.”
