The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

hapter 10

It was surprising when I read the news about Fiona dating Emily's ex. I thought I would be angry to read such news, but I felt nothing. The only thing I felt was worry about Emily. Did the news hurt her? Was she still in love with himt The way she looked at him when he sa was beginning to doubt everything Fiona had ever said to be after living with Emily for four months Not once had I seen a glimpse of the girl Fiona described for me. Emily thought that I wasn't paying any attention to her, but I was actually watching her. I wanted to see the spoilt brat who did not care about anyone but herself, but all I saw was the complete opposite. She I expected her to spend at

least twenty or thirty thousand dollars when I gave her my credit card, but the barely spent five thousand dollars. She even asked me if the amount she spent was okay or not after coming back and offered to pay me back some of the money she spent if it was over the bud This woman surely didn't know how beautiful she was. She had the ability to render me speechless with her effortless beauty. The Emerald green dress she had on seemed to be made for her. She ruined the design for any other woman who might buy the dress. I wanted to tell her that she looked amazing. I wanted to boost her self-confidence, but my tongue was tied. I couldn't say a

a single thing to her. It was rather surprising to me when I found myself asking her to make breakfast for me whenever she prepared it for herself. I was also surprised when she offered to treat my injuries. I thought she would totally ignore me because of my ill- treatment of her, but she proved to be nicer than me.

"Are you ready?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Wait," she said when I was about to walk. She approached me and her delicate hands reached for my tie. Being that close to her was dangerous. She didn't know what she was doing to me or how she made my heanbeats race. "Now, it's all good. It was a bit crooked." Sh "Thank you," I mumbled, and we both headed towards my car.

Thirty minutes later, we made it to the restaurant in time. Once we reached our table, all eyes turned towards us.

"Emily Harolds! Is that you!?" Roman Belford exclaimed upon seeing my wife.

"Roman" My wife said excitedly,

How did he know her! He got up from his place and pulled her into a hug. It took everything

ng in me to not pull her back. Why was he calling her Harolds? She was

"I think more. Almost three probably," she replied with a huge smile on her face. Was that her genuine smile? She had a captivating one. She lud never smiled at me like that. But I had never given her a reason to give me one of those smiles Why did I even care?

"How do you know each other?" I asked, wrapping my arm around her waist. He had to know that she was my wife,

"We had some classes together. Had it not been for her, I wouldn't have passed. She is a lifesaver," Roman said as we all headed to our seats.

"Don't exaggerate. I barely did anything" Emily said, smiling at him. She needed to stop smiling at him like that.

"Oh really" Okay, let's make the others decide. Guys, my professor asked her to tutor me because I was falling behind after my mum's death. Her notes were perfect, and she made the most complicated subject simple. Do you guys think I'm exaggerating when I call her "You were start. You made my job rasy," she assured him
