Second Chances

Emma ordered a simple meal. As she cut her food elegantly, she “appreciated” the scene in the private room next door. 

Today was indeed a family party. Only the Hall and Curry families came. 

Elsie was imprisoned, so only Simon and Liam went. Meanwhile, Tess’s parents were there. 

Emma heard Tess’s coquettish voice in the video. “Liam, I was impulsive last time. Sorry.” Last time, she insulted Emma in public, causing Liam to leave hand in hand with Emma. 

Tess had learned her lesson this time. Liam was now in love with Emma. She had to listen to her mother and pretend to be sensible and obedient. This way, it would not be too late for her to take Emma’s place after Liam was done playing with Emma. 

Liam replied on account of the Curry family’s parents, but his expression and tone were very cold. He didn’t even touch the food on the table. 

After eating the food made by Emma, it was difficult for Liam to eat the food outside. 

Emma had already expected this, so she smiled and called the kitchen of this club. “Hello, I’m the friend that the head chef mentioned. The food can be sent to Mr. Hall in room 88.” 

Emma had already found the resources of the former head chef of the hotel and asked the club to prepare food for Liam in advance according to her instructions. 

“Alright, Miss Wilson. I’ve already plated the steak roasted in advance according to your instructions. I’ll send it over now,” the staff said. 

“Thanks.” Emma hung up the phone. Not long after, she saw the door of the private room where Liam. was on the screen open. 

A waiter stood beside Liam with a top–notch Tomahawk Steak. “Mr. Hall, this is specially prepared for you by a mysterious lady. Enjoy your meal.” 

When Liam saw the steak, his lips immediately revealed an imperceptible smile. He didn’t need to taste it to know the exquisite knifework and rich aroma. It must have been done by Emma. She was worried that he had no appetite, so she specially prepared these. Her concern instantly restored most of his bad mood from having to have dinner with Tess. 

But at this moment, Tess came over. “Wow!” She immediately took a fancy to the steak in front of Liam and her eyes lit up. “Liam, I love steak. Can you… give me a bite?”

When Simon heard this, he laughed. “Tess, you and Liam have known each other since 

you we 

young. Are you afraid he won’t share it with you? Liam, give this to Tess and ask the kitchen to make 

another one.” 

On the other side of the screen, Emma’s face darkened. ‘What the hell? How could the steak that I prepared be given to that spoiled princess to eat?” she thought. She was so angry that she almost flipped the table. 

In the video, Liam’s expression was not good either. “I’m hungry. I’can’t wait that long.” 

Tess’s parents immediately felt a little awkward. 

“Tess, be sensible. You ordered the risotto. How can you steal Liam’s food now?” Tess’s mother reminded. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

But Tess felt wronged. “I looked at the menu just now. There’s no such food. The waiter said that it’s exclusively for Liam. I like to eat this kind hidden menu items. Am I wrong?” 

Simon felt a little embarrassed. “Isn’t it just a steak? Liam, give it to Tess.” 

Liam simply cut it and ate it this time. It was as delicious as he had expected. It was medium rare and was juicy and tender. He ignored Simon’s words. 

Simon’s face was about to turn red. 

Only Emma, who was not far away, clapped her hands in joy. Liam was awesome. 

On the screen, Tess looked like she was about to cry. 

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Emma. “Hey, Miss Emma.” 

Emma was shocked and turned around. “Aiden?” Since she was no longer working, she no longer needed to call him so formally. Instead, she called him by his name. 

Aiden didn’t seem to care. He wore a white suit today, and his hair was slightly curled. He was unbelievably dazzling. It was obvious that he was there to socialize. 

Aiden pointed at the monitor on Emma’s desk and joked, “Are you watching a live broadcast?” 

Emma replied, “No, I was peeping.” 

Emma’s honestu 

made Aiden laugh out loud. “It’s a pity you didn’t cook for me after that. Although the food was delicious, I can tell they weren’t made by you.” 

Emma said politely, “Thanks. My husband doesn’t want me to cook for another man.” 

Aiden was surprised for a moment, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. “You’re… 

married?” 

Emma pointed at Liam on the screen. “There. That’s him.” 

Aiden briefly scanned the situation on the screen. Coupled with Emma’s actions of sitting on the first floor, he immediately understood. “From the looks of it, your husband’s family doesn’t seem to be satisfied with you as a daughter–in–law. With your talent, you really shouldn’t suffer such grievances.” 

As they were talking, Aiden’s socializing partner walked over. He was also wearing a suit. The two men were over 6 feet in height. They were extremely eye–catching and attracted countless gazes as they stood in the hall. “Emma, you’re here too?” 

“Uncle Daniel.” Emma hadn’t seen her uncle for a while. 

Daniel looked at Emma and then at Aiden. “Do you know each other?” 

Aiden smiled. “We just met. I forgot to tell you.” 

Daniel quickly saw the display behind Emma and frowned unhappily. “What is Liam doing?” 

“Uh…” Emma stuttered. 

Emma wanted to explain, but Aiden spoke in a sarcastic tone, “His father is forcing him to go on a blind date.” 

“This is outrageous.” Daniel was a proud man. He had pampered Stella ther. Now, he loved Emma even more. Without another word, he immediately pulled Emma by her hand and went upstairs. 

At the door of Liam’s private room, Emma still wanted to be reserved. “Uncle Daniel, I asked Liam to come. It’s not his fault.” 

Daniel said seriously, “Emma, I know Liam treats you well, but I’ve worked hard all my life because I don’t want to see anyone make you suffer. Back then, we watched as your mother was bullied by Mateo. We can’t watch you be bullied now. No one can look down on you, not even Simon. Do you understand?”

Emma looked at Daniel’s eyes and immediately understood. He was not angry with Liam, but he wanted to take Simon and the Curry family down a notch. 

After saying that, Daniel opened the door of room 88. 

When the door opened, everyone in the private room was stunned for a moment. 

At this moment, Aiden also caught up to them at a leisurely pace.
