“That won’t do.”
Charles Taylor flatly refused, not waiting for her disappointment, then added, “We can come out to eat.”
Emma Rosy blinked, thinking, “Sure, we can go out to eat, but does “we” include him?
“Mr. Taylor is busy at work, how can we be bothered?” At Eva Taylor’s frantic gesture, Emma Rosy bargained with him stiffly.
“Joe Wright didn’t tell you? He promised me last night that he would not see Eva alone unless you and I were present.”
Emma Rosy and Eva Taylor looked at each other, both sighing at Charles Taylor’s wisdom, but they had to agree.
After hanging up the phone, Eva Taylor collapsed on the bed and shouted, “This bastard Charles Taylor, I really misjudged him, he actually sacrificed his own sister to chase a girl!”
Emma Rosy just opened the software to choose a restaurant, heard the words again, and looked up at her: “What chasing girls, do not talk nonsense.”
“I’m not!” Eva Taylor rolled around on the bed with a pillow, arguing unconvincingly: “He simply wants to meet you, so he set the conditions for the four of us to meet, this little thought, who can hide it?
Emma Rosy shook her head and dismissed Eva Taylor as a child’s madness. After all, she and Charles Taylor had only met twice so far, and once in a fight.
However, Keira doesn’t think so.
A heartbreaking cry erupted behind her and she turned around in a hurry to see Keira knocking over the puzzle and sitting in the middle of the pieces, large teardrops sliding down her cheeks.
Emma Rosy and Eva Taylor looked at each other in surprise and wondered who had upset Keira, so they went over and asked.
Keira cried and complained, “Mommy lied to me… you don’t want Daddy anymore, you want to be with… a black-faced uncle…”
Uncle Blackface?
It turns out it was because of Charles Taylor.
Emma Rosy sighed with relief, crying and laughing as she picked Keira up: “Uncle and mommy are friends, how can they be together?”
“Auntie said so!” Keira pointed at Eva Taylor, with teary eyes.
She didn’t expect a casual joke to cause such a big consequence. Eva Taylor spat out her tongue and explained embarrassingly, “I’m just kidding. keira sorry, your mom is all for helping me date, she has nothing to do with my brother, really!”
As she cried more and more, Emma Rosy gave Eva Taylor a wink and told her to go downstairs and talk to her grandfather while she stayed behind to calm the baby.
Eva Taylor apologized again and again, and then went to the living room.
Master Wright had just returned from his walk and when he saw her, his face was filled with a kind smile: “Eva, stay for dinner today and tell the maids what you like so they can prepare it.”
“Thank you, Grandpa, but Emma and I are going out to eat…,” Eva Taylor apologized and told Master Wright the story of Charles Taylor’s unequal treaty.
At that, Master Wright was not as displeased as expected.
Eva Taylor was peeking at his face, suddenly heard a sentence: “Charles, indeed, is a good boy.”
Eva Taylor was first stunned, and linked to what she had just said about her big brother seemingly being interested in Emma, her eyebrows gradually raised.
“You mean…” afraid of being too blunt, specially changed a euphemism: “As Charles’s sister, I don’t mind.”
And then exchanged glances with Master Wright, both of them unspoken.
At this point, Keira’s emotions gradually calmed down, but still worried that she abandoned Alex Brown, had to pull the hook.
She stretched out her fingers, hooked Keira’s short little finger, and pulled with a smile: “Mom promises to wait for Alex’s father to come home, cheating is a dog.”
Upon arriving at the old house and entering, Charles Taylor apologized to Master Wright for the day’s events and received an understanding before the four departed for lunch.
Emma Rosy, naturally, was in the car with Joe Wright, and Eva Taylor, under Charles Taylor’s sharp gaze, got into the family car.
After getting into the car, Eva Taylor changed her “good” posture in front of Joe Wright and stared at Charles Taylor until the latter was uncomfortable, cleared his throat and asked her what she had in mind.
“How can you say that? I’m your own sister!” Eva Taylor looked displeased, and then nodded her head in a gloomy manner, “That’s right, how can this sister of mine be as important as my future sister-in-law?”
Charles Taylor hooked his lips and smiled, thinking she was childish to the extreme.
But at the same time, did not deny her speculation.
Seeing this, Eva Taylor grabbed his arm, her eyes burning with gossip: “Brother, dear brother, you really like Emma, don’t you?”
Charles Taylor considered for a moment, and said flatly: “I’m interested in knowing, but I’m still hesitating.”
Eva Taylor is full of seriousness: “Older brother you have to cheer ah, Emma seems to like her ex-husband, but in my opinion, they have gone through many trials and tribulations did not get together, the hope of future happiness is very slim. emma’s previous life is too bitter, if you really like her, must take good care of her.”
Charles Taylor smiled lightly and did not respond again.
In the back of the car, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
After a long hesitation, Emma Rosy broke the silence and asked Joe Wright if he had really thought it through this time.
Although she is very optimistic about Eva Taylor, but the final decision is still in Joe Wright’s hands, if he gives up again like before, then what she is doing now is just like pushing Eva Taylor into the abyss of pain.
“We’ll take our time, and we should get attached.” Joe Wright’s answer was ambiguous, but his tone was firm.
Emma Rosy mistakenly thought he had changed his attitude, but was just too embarrassed to admit it, so she excitedly cheered him on: “Eva has you in mind, as long as you don’t let her down, you will definitely move Charles Taylor to agree to your relationship in the future.”
Joe Wright nodded obediently, however how to love someone, simply do not need Emma Rosy instruction, because in the moment of meeting her, he has learned to love.
Unfortunately, the deepest love is destined to be hidden in the most hidden corner of his heart, never to see the light of day.
When they arrived at Charles Taylor’s restaurant, Emma Rosy’s eyes flickered as she got out of the car and froze in place.
Eva Taylor came over to take her arm, followed her line of sight to the restaurant sign, puzzled: “Brother took me to this restaurant, the taste is not bad, do not you like it Emma?”
Emma Rosy looked back and smiled slightly stiffly.
After being seated, Charles Taylor ordered the food according to the waiter’s recommendation, and then asked Emma Rosy: “What would Miss Richard like to drink?”
