Mrs. and Mr. Smith

48  Chapter 48: The Transformation of Emily Taylor_1

Upon hearing Ethan Smith's words, Ray Walters seemed quite disappointed.

He had hoped to rely on the Soul Nourishment Pill for transformation. If it were given to another partner, the advantage would be gone.

Although he thought so, Ray didn't say anything and just nodded in agreement.

Ethan Smith saw through Ray's thoughts and laughed, "Don't worry, the exclusive distributorship of the Soul Nourishment Pill will always be in your hands."

Ray was overjoyed when he heard this and hastily nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Smith!"

Ray quickly spread the news.

For a time, the entire River City was discussing this matter.

...

Taylor family's Estate.

Emily Taylor, who was always cold and proud, surprisingly put on an apron today, humming a tune, and busying herself in the kitchen cheerfully.

"Miss, you better go rest..." Countless people surrounded her, their faces full of anxiety, fearing Emily might accidentally hurt herself.

The secretary also said with a bitter smile, "Miss, how can you do such coarse work? We servants can take care of it..."

But Emily didn't pay any attention. For the first time, she found that cooking could be such a joyful thing!

And the reason for all this was that Ethan Smith was coming over for dinner tonight, so Emily was personally cooking.

That night.

Emily carefully decorated the room.

Dim lighting, a table full of delicious food, and a bottle of 1982 red wine.

All the servants were driven out by Emily. In the large room, only Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor were left.

"You... made all this?" Ethan asked in disbelief.

How could a rich girl like Emily Taylor be so resourceful?

"Try it and see how it tastes!" Emily said, looking forward to it.

Ethan hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and ate.

Just after the first bite, Ethan's face turned green.

This was fucking inedible!

"Is it delicious?" Emily blinked her eyes and asked excitedly.

Seeing Emily's eager look, Ethan couldn't bear to crush her, so he forced himself to say, "Yes... It's delicious, especially delicious..."

"Really?!" The decisive Ice Mountain beauty now seemed excited like a young girl!

"Really!" Ethan nodded vigorously.

"Then eat more!" Emily smiled.

Ethan: "..."

After struggling through the meal, Ethan and Emily strolled around the manor, enjoying the moonlight.

Smelling the faint fragrance from Emily, Ethan's heart was somewhat itchy.

He stealthily looked at Emily's profile, feeling as if his heart would explode.

Ethan mustered up his courage and carefully reached out to hold Emily's hand.

At this moment, Emily suddenly spoke, "Ethan."

Ethan got scared and immediately pulled his hand back.

"Ah, what's up?" Ethan asked.

Emily looked at the sky and said, "Do you like this kind of life?"

Ethan was startled, not quite understanding Emily's words.

"What kind of life are you referring to?" Ethan asked with confusion.

Emily smiled and asked, "Are you tired recently?"

Ethan thought about it, then bitterly replied, "Maybe a little."

Indeed, Ethan's recent life had been quite exhausting, with hardly any rest time.

Emily laughed and said, "How about I support you then?"

Ethan was taken aback, shook his head, and asked, "Why all of a sudden?"

Emily said, "If you don't like this kind of life, I can support you."

Ethan thought Emily was joking, so he responded with a laugh, "Then I would be a kept man, and how could I afford a wedding ring and wedding?"

Emily looked seriously at Ethan and said, "A wedding ring doesn't have to be bought by a man, nor does a wedding have to be arranged by you. If you're willing, I'll buy the ring and arrange the wedding."

Upon hearing Emily's words, Ethan was stunned.

He turned to look at Emily and said earnestly, "I might be a little tired recently, but I'm quite fulfilled."

"Before meeting you, I was like a walking corpse, aimless and without goals."

"After meeting you, I have found the meaning of struggle."

At this point, Ethan took a deep breath and continued, "Miss Taylor, give me one year at most."

"In one year, I will come to the Taylor family to propose, and give you a grand wedding."

The atmosphere became a bit ambiguous.

Their vows seemed to bring them back to their youth.

But Ethan's words slightly moved Emily.

"Alright," Emily smiled.

"In one year, I'll wait for you to give me a grand wedding."

After Ethan left.

Emily sat in the courtyard for a long time.

The secretary couldn't help but approach her and sigh, "Miss, I feel that you've changed."

Emily looked at him and smiled, "How have I changed?"

The secretary said with a bitter smile, "Before we came to River City, we always admired your intelligence and decisiveness."

"You also said that if Ethan Smith was a useless person, you would leave River City and reject the marriage proposal."

"But now... It seems you don't care at all about whether Ethan is successful or not, it's like... It's like you've transformed from a wise and intelligent queen to a girl next door..."

Emily just smiled, not admitting or denying it.

As the secretary said, unknowingly, Emily had stopped caring about whether Ethan Smith could become successful.

"I respect Ethan's choice," Emily smiled.

"If he doesn't want to struggle anymore, I'll support him."

"If he wants to succeed, I'll do my best to help him."

Obviously, Ethan chose the latter.
