Second Chances

“To the movies, Liam said. 

Emma’s eyes lit up. She looked at Liam. “Really? Are you sure you want to go with me to a place with so many people? It’s going to be a little crowded, a little noisy. There might even be a line. You— 

In Emma’s heart, Liam had always been above such stuff and would not like cinemas. Thus, she asked those questions with uncertainty. 

Liam gently pinched Emma’s nose. “Let’s go, or we’ll be late.” 

Emma cheered. She could not help but tiptoe and kiss Liam on the cheek. “Hubby, you’re so good to me. I love you.” 

Liam pulled Emma into his arms and hugged and kissed her. 

After arriving at the cinema, Emma used Liam’s phone at the counter to get tickets. 

Liam stood on the spot. 

As Emma was about to be done collecting the tickets, two girls who looked like students looked at each other. They could not help but walk toward Liam. 

One of them said, “Sorry to disturb you, handsome. Can I add you on WhatsApp? We’re not harassers. We just can’t resist handsome guys.” 

The other nodded. “Yes. 

When the two girls arrived and saw Liam standing there alone, their eyes almost went blind from how handsome he was. He was more dashing than those hotheads in school Liam’s nose bridge was high, and his eyebrows were sharp and dark. He was mature and reserved, with an elite temperament. His high–class clothes outlined his perfect figure perfectly. 

Just by standing there, Liam looked like a “domineering CEO” who had walked out of the novel. His aura was incompatible with a relaxed entertainment place like the cinema. 

Liam did not expect to be hit on as soon as he arrived. As he was about to reject them, he was suddenly kissed on the cheek. 

Emma walked over with popcorn and tickets and looked at Liam with a smile. “I got the tickets. Let’s go, hubby.”

Only then did the two girls realize that Liam was married. 

“I–I’m sorry,” the first one stuttered. 

‘Sorry to disturb you,” the second one said. 

After saying that, their faces turned red and they ran 

away.

Emma looked at the two girls who “fled” and could not help but laugh. She stuffed a popcorn into Liam’s mouth. “Mr. Hall, it seems you’re very popular with young ladies?” 

Liam pulled Emma into his arms. “Young ladies like you?” 

Emma’s smile widened. “That seems to be right. With your mature and seductive looks, you’re just like the male lead of today’s movie. You’re a lady killer.” 

“What killer?” Liam asked. 

Emma explained what the “lady killer” meant. It meant that even women of all ages fell at his feet.. However, Liam made a note of Emma’s words mentally. 

In the cinema, after the lights dimmed, the movie started playing. It was a famous love movie. It had been screened more than 20 years ago but was re–screened in the country this month. 

Emma had heard of this film but had never seen it. She was looking forward to watching it with Liam today. 

Soon, the male lead appeared. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants. He stood by the bed with a book in his hand, looking cold and melancholic. 

Liam asked Emma in a low voice, “Is this the lady killer you were talking about?” 

Emma nodded. “Don’t you think he’s very handsome?” 

Not bad. Liam was about to say something but was a little unhappy because Emma compared him to another man. “He’s like me?” 

Emma stopped to look at Liam. “You’re more handsome.” 

The movie was very well–made and touching. On such a late night, it was inevitable that it would fan the mood for lovers.

However, there were inevitably some people who spoiled the mood. The man sitting beside Emma was on the phone. Emma frowned impatiently a few times, but she couldn’t remind him. 

Liam saw Emma frown and silently sent a message to Levi. 

Not long after, Levi found the owner of the cinema. A few staff came to the theater to remind that 

person. 

Emma did not pay attention to the process. She only felt that it was much quieter after that. 

After watching the movie, Emma walked out hand in hand with Liam. “The cinema management here is really good. The person sitting next to me just now kept talking but they quickly sent someone to handle it.” 

“Is that so?” Liam did not say anything. He just held Emma’s hand quietly. 

As they walked out of the theater, a few people stood respectfully at the doors. When they saw Liam, they immediately greeted, “Mr. Hall.” 

Emma looked at Liam in surprise. 

Liam smiled and said, “They are the managers of the mall and the director of the cinema.” 

Emma was speechless. She thought, ‘No way. Even a manager came to greet him when he came to watch a movie?” 

As they conversed, there were also audience who walked out of the same theater. They looked at Emma with envy. 

One of them remarked, “What does this man do? He’s so rich.” 

“I want the boss to welcome me when I watch a movie too,” another added. 

“The girl is also very beautiful. She looks like a princess, but her temperament is cold and elegant,” a third chimed in. 

The person in charge of the cinema said, “Mr. Hall, if you want to watch a movie in the future, call me directly. Our company has a VIP screening room for important clients. There’s no need to buy tickets.” 

Liam smiled and glanced at Emma. “I only listen to her.” 

The two men were smart and immediately felt how significant Emma was to Liam. They were silent for half a second before they reacted. 

“Alright. Miss Wilson, please call me directly when you’re coming. We also have beverages and spas

for ladies. Many ladies like them very much,” the person in charge of the cinema said. 

“Thanks,” Emma said courteously. After saying goodbye, she quickly pulled Liam’s hand and left. was wondering how they managed it so well. So they knew you were here,” it had finally dawned on Emma. She asked, “Was that man reminded because you went to the boss?” 

Liam said bluntly, “The Halls Group happens to be working with this mall and film company, Levi solved it with a phone call.” 

Emma thought, ‘Tsk. Liam is such a boss. Even if he participated in this kind of ordinary activity, he still exuded the aura of a boss.” 

Emma and Liam had just gotten into the car and fastened their seatbelts when Emma’s phone vibrated. It was a message in the class group chat with photos attached. 

Emma raised her eyebrows and clicked on it. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the group chat were a few photos of her and Liam in the cinema. There was also the scene of her standing with Liam when they walked out of the theater and the managers receiving them. 

James: [Emma, I saw you and my idol in the cinema. Did my idol come to watch this kind of love movie with you?] 

James’s messages included a laughing emoji. 

When the messages were sent, the class group chat instantly exploded.
