Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 599

As Toddy was dead asleep, Emma had to shake him awake for quite a bit before he finally opened his eyes.

"Come on, get up! On your feet!"

Emma stood up at once, seeing that he had opened his eyes. However, the man mumbled as though he didn't hear a word she said, "Anything can happen in your dream…"

Then, he closed his eyes and continued sleeping, rendering Emma at a loss for words.

"Toddy Heller!" Emma screeched with her arms akimbo. "I won't ask nicely anymore if you don't get up this instance."

However, the man remained motionless like a dead body. After all, he was genuinely sleepy, and he had drunk more than he should have the night before. He couldn't open his eyes at all, and he thought he was in a dream; a dream where Emma still loved him and got him breakfast like she used to.

He didn't want to wake up, for he would have to face Emma's impassiveness toward him. Nonetheless, he knew she wasn't to blame. He was the one who treated her impassively in the first place.

On the other hand, Emma went back into her house, seeing that the man continued playing possum.

She put her bag down, went into the kitchen, and filled a basin full of cold water before bringing it out and pouring it on Toddy's head.

Finally, the man opened his eyes, having been drenched in cold water.

He looked upset, for the basin of water had shattered his sweet dream.

I was so close to kissing Emma! F*cking water had to wake me up! I swear to God, I—

He sat up, wiped the water away from his face, and looked up at Emma, only to be stumped and wide-eyed for some time. All of a sudden, he stood up and clamped the young woman's shoulders, exclaiming with surprise, "Emma, you're finally willing to see me!"

At that, Emma slapped his arms away and said icily, "You're awake now, aren't you? Now, can you please leave and don't block my entrance? My neighbors freaked out when they saw you lying here, thinking you were dead. They were this close to calling the police on you."

"Emma." Toddy grabbed the young woman's hand, stopping her from entering her house once again.

At that, he pleaded with an aching heart, saying, "Emma, I've realized how much of a b*stard I was to you. It's all on me. Please don't do this to me. You ignoring me feels much worse than killing me. Whenever I see you standing next to Roger, it feels like someone's lacerating my heart. It hurts, Emma. Please give me another chance, and stop lying to yourself too. I can tell that you still like me, you know."

However, Emma flung his hand away without a word and went back into her house with the basin.

"Emma, Emma…" Toddy followed her around like a clingy puppy. Still, Emma continued to ignore him. After putting the basin back into the kitchen, she picked her bag up, shoved him out the door, and locked it before leaving.

"Emma…" Toddy followed the young woman blindly behind until they arrived at the community parking.

To Emma's dismay, the man climbed into her car at breakneck speed as soon as she unlocked it.

"Toddy Heller, get out!" Emma was made furious by his scoundrel-like behavior. "Get out of my car at once!"

"Make me!" said the man as he fastened his safety belt.

"You're a scoundrel!"

"Yes. I am a scoundrel, and this is one scoundrel you can never get rid of for the rest of your life!"

"You!" Emma was beyond enraged.

Seeing that she was about to be late for work, she tried to yank him out in exasperation. However, she failed, so she went into the car and shoved him out to no avail.

It was as though the man had plastered himself onto the seat, for he sat firmly in the car no matter what she did.

"You're worn out, aren't you? Come, sit here. I'll drive," chirped Toddy, making Emma want to tape his lips up with duct tape.

"You drank, and the alcohol is still in your system. The last thing I want is to die next to you."

With that, she returned to the driver's seat furiously. "I will call President Coleman later and have him pick you up personally!"

Let's see how you can continue sticking to me like a leech.

After she started the engine, Toddy pulled his phone out. Fortunately for him, Emma aimed the basin of water at his face, so his phone was spared as it was in the pocket of his pants.

He made a call to Dylan, who answered in two shakes.

"Boss," greeted the assistant in a croaky voice.

Dylan frowned in response. "What happened to you, Toddy? Why does your voice sound so hoarse? Are you sick?"

"Yeah. Perhaps I had one too many last night. I have a splitting headache, and my throat is as dry as the Mojave desert. I think I might be down with a fever too. I won't be going to the office today."

Dylan fell silent for a moment before asking, "Did you get drunk because of Miss Finley again? I won't lie, Toddy. I genuinely look down on you. You told me you wanted to win Miss Finley's heart again, so show her your sincerity and win her heart like a man. Do you think getting drunk all the time will get you anywhere? It will only kill you, and Miss Finley will despise you as well. What? Are you planning on winning her back with pity? Well, here's the thing. It will work if she still cares about you. However, she doesn't anymore. At most, she'll call the mortuary and have them drag you away even if you die before her now."

This time, it was Toddy's turn to fall silent.

But I'm already trying to win her heart with all I've got! Emma just won't look back.
