Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 781

"Noah, I miss you. Can you come over? I haven't seen you for so many days," Emma said sweetly into the phone.

Noah had tons of things to deal with. On top of that, Stephanie was pregnant and needed his comfort. Hence, he did not treat Emma as warmly as before. Although he kept telling Emma how much he loved her, he, in truth, loved himself more. He only feared treating her indifferently would only make her cause trouble.

After all, a desperate person would harm others without thinking of the consequences. To make sure Emma did not do that, Noah could only pretend as if nothing was wrong. Even so, he did not like her as much as he did back then.

"Have you taken a liking to a bag? Go and get it, then. Charge it on my card."

"Noah, am I just a gold digger to you? I'm sure you know how much of your money I've spent over the past few years. I just miss you. I want you to come over and keep me company. Is that so hard? Do you not love me anymore?" Emma said pitifully.

Noah pinched the space between his brows and said, "I'll head over now."

Soon, Noah arrived at his secret hideout with Emma. He had just parked his car when Emma pounced on him and hugged him from the back. "Noah, I've missed you so much."

Noah glanced around the area in terror. He sighed with relief when he saw there was no one suspicious around.

Feigning confusion, Emma asked, "What's wrong, Noah?"

Noah shook his head and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Nothing. Let's go upstairs."

When they had gone upstairs, Stephanie, who was in the car, was already burning with rage.

Isabella smirked and commented coldly, "I never knew Noah and Emma were in this kind of relationship. What are you going to do, Stephanie?"

Stephanie unfastened her seatbelt and huffed, "What else can I do? Of course, I have to go in there and catch them in their act. I swear I'm going to beat that adulterous woman to death today!"

Isabella grabbed Stephanie's arm. "Calm down, Stephanie. You're still pregnant, remember? It won't do you and the baby any good if you get too emotional. Besides, if something happens to the baby, it'll be an advantage for Noah and Emma."

Stephanie gave her a look and asked crossly, "Then what do you propose?"

"Let's go upstairs and have a look. Let's hear what Noah has to say. It's no wonder people always say that only half of what a man says can be trusted, while the other
