Chapter 10 Chapter 10 : Emma’s Apology
Theodore’s words suddenly echoed in Luna’s mind.
Yes. There must have been something wrong with my eyes before. Otherwise how on earth did I fall for Noah?
Elsewhere, Noah sat on the sofa with Emma nestled tenderly in his arms.
He knew that although his grandfather had approved the marriage, the rest of the family was furious. Rather than stir things further, he brought Emma to his own apartment.
“Noah…” she murmured, gaze soft on him.
“What is it?” he asked with a gentle smile.
After wrestling with her thoughts, she finally said,
“I think… we should apologize to Miss Carter.”
Noah’s brow furrowed.
“Why?” he asked, puzzled.
“Because we wronged her.” Emma lowered her head. Noah’s frown deepened — he hadn’t even meant to run away at first.
She called out softly,
“Noah… if you don’t apologize, I’ll never feel right about it. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you.”
Seeing her eyes redden, his heart softened instantly.
He pulled her close. “This isn’t your fault. It’s mine. Come on — we’ll go apologize to Luna together.”
“No, don’t. I’m the one who should apologize.” She shook her head, eyes misty.
“Honey… I love you.” His voice turned tender.
Then he leaned down and kissed her gently.
Emma closed her eyes, melting into the moment.
After a while, she pushed him away lightly, cheeks flushed.
“We… we shouldn’t go further yet,” she whispered, flustered.
Noah exhaled, steadying himself, then nodded. “Okay.”
Emma breathed softly and leaned into his chest, lowering her eyes.

Luna held the position of PR Manager at CT Group. After finishing her tasks, she returned to the Davis residence.
The moment she entered, she saw Noah and Emma sitting on the sofa.
“Miss Carter, you’re back,” Emma said quickly, standing up.
Ignoring her, Luna walked straight toward her room.
Noah frowned, stood, and glared angrily.
“Luna, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Emma speak to you?”
Luna shot him a dismissive look.
“Right — I didn’t hear her.”
Emma’s eyes instantly filled with tears.
Luna glanced at her.
This is Noah’s taste? A woman who cries on command? Sure knows how to trigger a man’s instincts.
“You—!” Noah sputtered, furious.
“What?” Luna arched a brow.
“Don’t push it, Luna!” Noah snapped, brows drawn tight.
Luna let out a sharp laugh. “I’m pushing it? You’re the one pushing it, you bastard!”
“You—” Noah began, but Emma clutched his arm.
“Noah, don’t argue with Miss Carter… this is my fault.”
Noah shook his head. “It’s not your fault.”
“No, it is my fault. I’ll apologize to Miss Carter.” Emma’s eyes shimmered.
She approached Luna and bowed her head.
“I’m truly sorry, Miss Carter,” she said softly.
Luna didn’t buy any of it.
She sneered. “Who exactly do you think you are? It’s not your place to apologize.”
