Nathan was certain of what he had just witnessed. When Martin mentioned that he was saving his integrity for Emilia, his serious expression did not appear fake.
Nathan couldn’t help but feel uneasy. It was the feeling of someone coveting something that belonged to him. He felt frustrated and drank another glass of wine.
However, it didn’t alleviate the frustration in his heart. Instead, he became more annoyed.
The second round of the game began with Benjamin as the banker, and several consecutive people successfully made the correct guesses.
When it was Emilia’s turn, she glanced at her hand and found that it was two.
Unless the banker had one of the two jokers, Benjamin’s cards were likely smaller than hers.
Thinking of that, Emilia casually said, “Small.”
Unexpectedly, Benjamin held a joker in his hand.
Emilia was taken aback, but she had sportsmanship and accepted her defeat.
After some pondering, she reasoned that if she chose “Truth” and was asked about matters between men and women, it would almost certainly lead to discussions involving Nathan, which she did not want to discuss.
“Dare.”
Benjamin and Kayden exchanged glances and took out the dare task cards they had prepared in advance, letting Emilia randomly draw one.
Emilia casually picked a card from the middle and felt her head throb when she read the task.
The task was to use her mouth to transfer a playing card to someone of the opposite sex in the room.
The expressions of the people in the room varied when the task card was revealed.
Benjamin and Kayden crossed their arms, ready to watch the drama unfold.
Meanwhile, Shawn was taken aback and could not help but notice Nathan, who had obviously turned angry beside him.
Felix, who was nearby, whispered to Emilia, “Ms. Saunders, if you’re uncomfortable with this, I can handle it.”
His proposed solution was straightforward. He would intervene physically to keep Emilia. from doing anything she did not want to do.
After all, his primary responsibility was to ensure Emilia’s safety, including preventing her from participating in activities she didn’t want to be part of.
Martin, on the other hand, watched Emilia with a hint of anticipation. After all, he was her best option among the opposite sexes present if she accepted the task.
Emilia pursed her lips, and when she raised her head again, she saw Nathan’s complex. expression.

She then turned her head to look at Martin and said to him flatly. “It is just a game. Can you cooperate with me?”
When Martin heard that, he was overjoyed. After all, it was not just a matter of cooperation. It was exactly what he had hoped for.
He cleared his throat and pretended to be serious. “If this gets out, Lia, you have to take responsibility for me.”
With everything ready, the playing card was placed on Emilia’s lips. She raised her chin slightly, waiting for Martin to take the card from her mouth.
Martin slowly bent down, and their position gave the impression of two people with a significant height difference kissing.
Seeing that, Nathan clenched his fists tightly. Even though he knew it was just a punishment in the game and that they wouldn’t actually kiss, he still couldn’t stand it.
As their faces got closer, Emilia burst out laughing, sending the playing card flying up in the air. Martin was dangerously close to kissing her as a result of that.
With a frustrated expression, Martin asked, “What are you laughing at? Shouldn’t you be all fluttery because I am such a handsome guy?”
“Sorry, it’s just too funny, and I couldn’t hold it in,” Emilia replied, trying to stifle her laughter.
“Don’t laugh! If we accidentally kiss, you’ll have to take responsibility for me!” Martin looked at her in a sassy manner.
The interaction between the two of them was just like that of a young couple, flirting and teasing each other. The entire time, Nathan’s face was gloomy, and when he saw them gearing up for another attempt, he clenched his glass tightly and struggled to resist the urge to punch someone.
During the second attempt, Emilia leaned backward and bent down a bit to make it easier for Martin to take the playing card. However, she could lose her balance easily in that position.
When Martin successfully took the playing card, she swayed and almost fell, but he caught her waist just in time to keep her from falling. The playing card fell down during the process.
“That’s enough!”
Nathan couldn’t bear it anymore. He stood up suddenly, his hand clenched into a fist by his side, as if he were about to strike at any moment.
Seeing that, Shawn abruptly stood up too, ready to intervene.
He could not afford to let Nathan beat up on Martin on the spur of the moment. After all, Martin was a public figure, and Nathan’s reputation would suffer if he truly beat up Martin.
Martin glanced at Nathan, raising an eyebrow.
“It’s just a game, Mr. Miller. Don’t you think you are overreacting a little?”
“Martin, you!”
Seeing that there was tension between the two, Benjamin and Kayden quickly tried to

defuse the situation.
“All right, the mission is complete! On to the next round!”
Nathan returned to his seat after giving Martin a cold stare.
In the third round, Felix was the banker, and the first to draw was Martin, who guessed correctly.
Emilia was the second.
Given the previous situation, Felix tried to give Emilia a subtle hint with his gaze, but she completely ignored it.
In the end, Emilia guessed wrong again.
After selecting “Dare” in the previous round, she was left with only “Truth” this time.
She probably did not expect to lose another round of the game due to her bad luck.
Felix hesitated, not sure what to ask, so he said, “I don’t have any questions.”
“My turn to ask then!” Kayden was eager to ask some daring gossip questions, but after receiving warning glances from Martin and Nathan, he paused and only asked, “What is the craziest thing you have ever done?”
“Crazy?” Emilia pondered.
It was a word that had almost nothing to do with Emilia. She had always been calm, and the majority of the craziness in her life had been caused by that one person.
In an instant, Emilia’s expression darkened.
In order to marry him, she sacrificed everything, kept her identity a secret, and remained by his side. She also put aside her pride and frequently put up with his insults and disregard.
She even risked her life to save him from a burning building because she loved him and felt obligated to him.
She could not help but think it was ridiculous when she thought about it.
Emilia sipped her wine. Even though the bitterness was spreading in her throat, her heart. felt more at ease.
“Well, I almost lost my life trying to save someone in the past,” she said.
