Chapter 54 She Wanted Him
Emmett lowered his head and kissed her fondly on her lips. His kisses and cuddles with her made him even more aroused. He firmly pulled her body against his and brushed her lips with his.
He lightly swept his tongue between her lips, pressing his warm, soft lips to hers.
Savannah drew a deep, staggered breath in response to the wave of heat she felt flushing through her. Her heart was fluttering as he kissed her passionately. She had never had such feelings before.
Emmett was pleased by her response. A wave of emotions flowed out of him. Impatiently, he swept down the dishes from the worktop and placed her onto it.
Every inch of Savannah’s body craved for his touch, yet she hadn’t lost her mind. She put her arms around his neck and whispered with a hastened breathing. “Dolores is still here. Let’s go somewhere else, please.”
Emmett swept her up in his arms and walked towards the room.
Staring at the man, Savannah obediently lay in his embrace with her arms over his neck.
She had never shown initiative in sex matters. But right then, she desperately wanted the man. Savannah couldn’t focus on anything else but Emmett.
The next morning, Emmett carried her into the bathroom while she was still half asleep.
He gently placed her into the bathtub filled with warm water, then he washed her body with rose bath salt.
They indulged themselves too much last night, so every muscle of hers was sore and aching. Awakened by his touch, Savannah opened her eyes and saw Emmett right beside her. “Please, let me go. I’m exhausted,” she pleaded.
Emmett stood up straight and gave her a cold look. “Since you’re awake, you can do it yourself. You deserve it. You should’ve expected the consequences before you went wild last night. Clean yourself up. I’m taking you somewhere.”
Savannah was about to ask him about the place, but he strode out of the bathroom right after uttering the words.
Soaking in the bathtub, she thought of the passionate night they had.
Why would I do that? I must’ve become crazy. I should be afraid of Emmett Quaker. Is it because he saved my life? Am I holding out hope to him just because he’s not a ruthless man whom I think he is?
Savannah held her breath and immersed herself in the water as if it would clear up the messy thoughts in her mind. She wished to have an ordinary relationship and marriage. When they made out in the kitchen, they seemed to be a loving married couple.
It would be perfect if there were no lies and schemes between us but only love. If that was the case, perhaps we would make a cute married couple.
However, Savannah knew it would only happen in her fancy, unrealistic dream. She was a woman with a kid. A man like Emmett Quaker would not accept her kid.
If the man she liked couldn’t take in Freddie, she’d rather stay single for the rest of her life.
After a few minutes, Savannah couldn’t hold her breath any longer, so she popped her head out of the water. Instantly, she felt refreshing.
“Why are you taking so long? Hurry up.” Savannah was drying up her body when Emmett’s voice rang out.
She quickly put on the clothes. She took a glance at the bathtub and a thought popped up in her mind. It felt familiar when he carried me into the bathtub. I had experienced that the other day when I was drunk.
But Emmett said it was Mary who cleaned her up. Was it really Mary?
After pondering over it for a few seconds, Savannah shook her head and denied her own thought. When she stepped out of the bathroom, Emmett had already suited up and he was waiting outside.
He was dressed in a black suit with a dark-colored tie.
Savannah lowered her vision and took a look at her dark-themed clothing. “Are we going to your mother’s cemetery?” She made a guess.
Emmett had a gloomy expression on his face. “I always spend some time there to accompany Mom. If you don’t feel like going, you can stay here and wait for me.”
“I want to go with you,” Savannah replied without hesitation.
She had heard a lot about Yona, a graceful woman from a prominent family. With a sincere heart, Savannah wanted to accompany Emmett to visit his mother’s cemetery.
“Let’s go then.” Emmett led the way.
Dolores prepared a bouquet of daisies and handed it to Savannah. “Ms. Yona loves these light purple daisies. She’ll definitely like you if you bring her this bouquet.”
Savannah nodded and carefully held the bouquet in her hand. “Do you want to join us?” she asked Dolores.
Dolores smiled and shook her head. “It’s alright. I can pay her a visit anytime.”
Emmett brought Savannah to a place near the cliff. After he had his car parked, they stayed in the car for a while. Both of them remained silent.
Emmett’s eyes were filled with sorrow and grief. He was gazing at a big marble tombstone not too far away. Behind the tombstone, there was a pile of beautiful sea stones.
There she is. But how did they build it here? However, it wasn’t the right time to ask Emmett that.
After a few minutes, Emmett took a deep breath before he uttered, “Let’s go.”
Savannah hummed in response and held the bouquet of daisies in her hand with care. Could it be that Emmett still can’t bring himself to accept his mom’s death?
Savannah recalled how her biological mother had treated her. Savannah had never felt a mother’s love from her mom. At least he has a mom who loved him very much.
They walked towards the tombstone and stood in front of it. Savannah took out a piece of tissue paper to clean the tombstone, then she placed the bouquet in front of it. She didn’t know what to say to Emmett’s mother, so she fell silent.
She took a glance at Emmett and he seemed to have a lot to say, but he just stood there and gazed at his mother’s tombstone. Perhaps he can’t say it aloud because of my presence. I should give them some private space.
Savannah stood up and bowed to Yona, then she walked away.
She wandered around the cliff for a while before she stopped at the side of the cliff. Looking at the blue sky and the roaring waves, she was absorbed with the beautiful scenery.
What an amazing view! At least his mom won’t feel lonely here, for she has the sky and the sea as her companions.
Savannah had no idea how long she had been looking at the sea. She unconsciously took a glance at Emmett. He was sitting in front of Yona’s tombstone and saying something with a faint smile on his face.
He was not a talkative person, but he seemed to have endless words to say when he was there.
At least he has someone to talk to. What about me?
Savannah turned around and continued looking at the sea view. After standing there for quite some time, she started feeling cold. She crossed her arms over her chest to keep herself warm. Standing in front of the choppy sea, she felt as small as an ant.
Suddenly, someone put a coat around her shoulders. She turned around and Emmett was gazing at her. “Have you finished chatting with her?” she asked.
“Let’s go back,” Emmett replied.
He still looked depressed and Savannah didn’t know how to cheer him up. She looked at the view and unwittingly said, “The view is breathtaking. It feels nice, just by looking at the beautiful sea and listening to the sound of the waves.”
Emmett pursed his lips and said coldly, “Mom never had the chance to enjoy the view with her loved ones.”
