Emily, The Mute Girl
Presidential Decree

'Are you used to it?' emily's gesture asks Alvin who's burning fish for Blacky. The dog wasn't allowed by Emily to eat raw fish.

"Huhuh?" alvin's question didn't understand Emily's point.

'You look very good at catching fish with your bare hands and also making fire using stones. It's something not everyone can do. And that requires skill, doesn't it?' cue Emily again.

Alvin smiled happily. She was happy because Emily had noticed it.

"mmm... Back then, when I was a kid, I used to follow my dad for firewood. You know, my life wasn't as good as it is now. Sometimes, on the way home, my father would catch fish for side dishes later. So, I learned all of that from my father." replied Alvin explaining.

Emily clapped her hands to make Alvin's face meet.

'That's incredible. Did you guys go to the forest often then?' ask Emily.

Alvin nodded. They then enjoy the delicious grilled fish while listening to Alvin tell him about his past. Ferry who had finished eating, stroking the head of Blacky who began to calm down. Sometimes the dog barks and howls. Ferry stared at Blacky barking, and saw someone, ah no, a crowd of people walking towards them. Moments when the man started to approach, Ferry could recognize him well. His face turned pale in surprise and he immediately shouted at Emily and Alvin who were still busy asking why Emily wanted to move and where she would live.

"MOTHER!!! MR PRESIDENT IS HERE!!"

Hearing what Ferry shouted, Emily was so shocked that her body froze. What's that guy doing here? Jeremy can't really go after him, can he? The question is answered when Jeremy manages to arrive and stands right in front of him. While Alvin has a big question in his head, why did President Jeremy follow them here?

Alvin wondered in his heart as he continued to stare at Jeremy. As an ordinary citizen, he greatly admired their president. But the longer he watches, the more he feels the president is very similar to the man who last night came with his wife to Emily's house. Wait up!! That is indeed the president. Alvin widened his eyes in surprise. If it's the president, what does that have to do with Emily? Thinking about the question made Alvin look at Emily who was also staring at the president with a pale face.

Jeremy is really not happy with what he is seeing at the moment. Again, he found Emily with this young man. Is their relationship really just a delivery guy and a flower buyer? Because they look too close to it. Jeremy stared at the burn marks whose stones were still burning red. The pile of fish bones that look fresh indicates they have just eaten it. Jeremy's expression became unsightly at all. Just for the sake of avoiding it, Emily was willing to eat only fish in the middle of the forest like this.

Shortly after Jeremy arrived there, his aide and the others caught up and immediately surrounded the three of them. This made Ferry afraid and did not dare to say anything. He sat quietly while hugging Blacky who continued to bark with an uncomfortable feeling.

"After meeting me last night, you immediately made the decision to leave that very night. Emily, do you really not want to be in touch with me anymore?" jeremy asked in a hostile voice.

"Why? You don't want to answer my question?" jeremy asked again, furrowing his eyebrows when Emily did not immediately answer.

'You yourself, what are you doing here? Follow me? Look, our relationship is long over. So I am free and have the right to decide to go wherever I want.'

Jeremy moved his teeth.

"Our relationship never ends, Emily" she said coldly. Emily looked at him with a questioning look.

'What do you mean? Our relationship is over when the oath and covenant are fulfilled!' emily's gesture was firm.

"A pact and an oath?" Jeremy smiled mockingly. Emily clenched her hand tightly. He thought he would be in a position like this.

"alright. Assume that the oath and agreement exist and have been fulfilled. But, our life-and-death marriage remains in place as long as you're alive, Emily!" jeremy said out loud.

Jeremy's words make Emily, Alvin and Ferry widen their eyes. As Emily thinks about how devious the man in front of her is, Alvin and Ferry focus on the word 'life and death marriage'. Whatdoes thatmean? Is Emily the president's wife? But, isn't the first lady another woman? Alvin was eager to ask but Emily seemed unquestionable. Ferry's adoptive mother is busy thinking about how to get away from Jeremy at this time.

'Jeremy, you know. I don't love you.' cues Emily. Jeremy closed his eyes for a moment and looked back at Emily.

"It's just a matter of time" he said.

'What if I still can't love you even after all the time has passed? Jeremy, you know this relationship will never work. You already have Clarissa. Your wish will never come true because I will never love you Emily's cue again.

Jeremy did not answer Emily's words, even he pretended not to see what Emily said. He beckoned his adjutant to read a letter. Reni quickly runs and stands between Emily and Jeremy, then opens the letter that Jeremy has signed himself.

"This is the Presidential Decree! Miss Emily Hopkins, wife of Mr. Jeremy Charlos, who faked her death! She will be taken to the State Palace and adopted as the young wife of the President, and must carry out her duties as a wife who has been bound by a life and death marriage with the President!" read Reno out loud.

Is this guy crazy? Being the president's young wife?? No kidding!! Emily felt she was having a bad dream. He looked at Jeremy in disbelief. Wasn't he the one who approved of the fake death? But what is this? This man even made a Presidential Letter to bring him back! It seemed like he had completely lost his sanity. Jeremy even revealed his fake death, does this man not care about people's views later?

Huff.. Emily breathed out violently. This is the true nature of this man. He would do anything to get his wish. However, what makes Emily inexhaustible, why should Jeremy be interested in her when she already belongs to another woman? They even have children! This man should not have any interest in other women. Why didn't he continue to hate her like they did at the beginning of their marriage?
