    Looking at the scars on his shoulder des, Emily’s heart tightened suddenly.


    It seemed that every injury on this man was because of her.


    Her tears, which had just been held back, blurred her vision again, and she took a breath and began to apply medicine to his wounds.


    Even with his back to her, Baron Stuart could tell her feelings were off in those brief moments of silence.


    Suddenly, he turned his chair around, facing Emily, stretching out his hand and pulling her into his arms, sitting her on hisp.


    Emily was shocked and couldn’t understand his sudden move, but then she met a pair of determined eyes and that handsome face.


    “I don’t like to see you cry,” Baron said to her, calmly.


    However, this sentimental moment onlysted three seconds. The next second, his yful voice said, “You’re not that pretty to begin with, and crying makes you even uglier…”


    Emily was taken aback.


    Suddenly, her face darkened, and she got off hisp. “It’s you who’s ugly!” she retorted.


    Her sudden movement identally bumped Baron’s wounded knee, and he couldn’t help but wince. But it was only for an instant, and it was hard for anyone to catch.


    Emily didn’t notice his fleeting expression of pain either.


    Baron smiled softly and said, “Me? That’s the first time someone has called me ugly in my 28 years of life.”


    “That’s right, and that person is me!” Emily replied indignantly.


    Just moments ago she was feeling down because of his scar, and now he had the nerve to say she looked ugly when she cried?


    Ugly or not, she had never thought of herself as particrly beautiful in the first ce!


    After saying her piece, she left the study in a huff and headed straight back to her bedroom.


    Watching her small disgruntled face, Baron smiled and then picked up the medicine box and headed downstairs.


    If seeing his scars made her feel sad, he would have to ask Mrs. Noelle to help him apply medicine.


    In the bedroom, Emilyy on the bed, thinking about Baron’s words. For some reason, she found herself caring about it.


    Suddenly, she got up and walked over to the floor mirror, carefully examining her own features.


    Fair and tight skin; her eyes weren’t very big, but her eyshes were curled and the gaze was clear. Although her nose wasn’t very high, it was small and stylish. As for her mouth… she thought it was great, small and rosy.


    Was she really that bad looking?


    Emily looked at herself from different angles and thought that even though her features weren’t stunning, she couldn’t be considered ugly.


    Before, she had never cared what other people thought of her appearance. But now that Baron had said it, she couldn’t help but care…


    Little did she know that his remark about her being ugly when she cried had a deeper meaning for Baron Stuart than she could have imagined.


    The door opened, and Baron paused as he saw her standing in front of the mirror.


    Emily turned around and saw him enter. She straightened up abruptly before walking towards him, “Um… I’m going to watch TV.”


    As she walked past him, Emily spoke somewhat unnaturally.


    Baron was stunned for half a second, and then his mouth curled into a meaningful smile.


    He didn’t expect hisment to make her care enough to check herself out in the mirror.


    Not long after this incident, news broke that the marriage contract between the Stuart and Bailey families had been canceled. The previous rumors about the Futuren Group withdrawing its shares from the Walker Group and injecting funds were also rified as mere lies.
