After talking about business, the mood in the room relaxed and casual conversation began.
When Emma Rosy dries her tears and enters, Joe Wright is asking about Alex Brown’ treatment plan after he goes abroad, and when he sees her enter, he is slightly embarrassed and silent.
The impending departure of Alex Brown had hit her so hard that the Wright family didn’t dare mention it in front of her. But in reality, it was this gentle avoidance that was more poignant.
“You’re so concerned about him, it’s like you’re his brother!” Emma Rosy feigned jealousy.
Joe Wright seemed relieved and then smiled at her dotingly, “Keira’s not jealous anymore, how old are you to be jealous of Alex?”
“No, I’m not.” Emma Rosy puffed up her lips in dissatisfaction and lifted her chin in the direction of Alex Brown: “He’s older than me, you should be more concerned about me!”
Joe Wright could do nothing about it, and said “yes” in a long voice, but his smile became rather helpless.
Alex Brown saw the usual sibling rivalry and felt a faint sourness in his heart.
Joe Wright’s soft-spoken attitude finally made Emma Rosy laugh, and when he turned his head, he found Alex Brown staring at them in disbelief, looking forlorn.
“It’s time for me to leave you guys the time.”
Emma Rosy smiled gratefully and sent him out the door, only to be stopped by Alex Brown.
“Mr….”
He subconsciously wanted to call him Mr. Wright, but felt it was too polite, and that “Joe” was more appropriate.
“Joe , Keira, I want to take her out, do you have time?”
Joe Wright and Emma Rosy both froze at this comment.
Even if they want to go out with Keira, it should be the three of them, should they bring him along?
Joe Wright looked at Emma Rosy, who was even more surprised than he was, but was not sure what Alex Brown had in mind, so he did not say anything.
Seeing this, he hastily refused: “You three can go, there are still some things I need to deal with at the company.”
Alex Brown understood what he meant and explained, “I’ve been having headaches lately and I’m afraid I can’t take care of Keira and Emma, so I’d like you to come and help if it’s convenient.”
With such a sincere attitude, Joe Wright couldn’t refuse, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed.
After a busy day, he looks out the window and realizes it’s almost evening.
Emma Rosy and Alex Brown were standing side by side in front of the window, neither of them had said anything since Joe Wright left.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was as red as fire.
Alex Brown turned his head sideways, wanting to reach out and hug her, but he could only purse his lips and put on a light-hearted smile: “If the treatment goes well, we’ll see each other again soon, very soon.”
