Joe Wright didn’t insist, telling her to call him when she was tired, and then turned around and went to sleep in the outer room.
Half-asleep, Emma Rosy muttered that she was thirsty, and Eva Taylor rushed out of bed to pour water and test its temperature before coming back to help her up.
“It shouldn’t be too hot, so drink slowly.”
Hearing Eva Taylor’s voice, Emma Rosy looked at her in the moonlight, her eyes misting over, “Eva, what are you doing here?”
The atmosphere between them was slightly awkward because of the afternoon’s events, Eva Taylor deliberately joked, “I’m not here, you’re thirsty and no one cares, why don’t you thank me?”
Sensing that she was trying to make up, Emma Rosy smiled and said in a long, drawn-out voice, “Yes, thank you, Eva.”
Eva Taylor’s sudden change of attitude must be related to Joe Wright. No matter how the couple cleared up their misunderstanding, she, as the person involved, had to give a positive response to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
Thinking about this, Emma Rosy lay back under the covers and said in a serious tone: “In the afternoon, I really could not stand up, Joe just helped me. We were discussing whether or not to go home tomorrow, and we got into some arguments, so we didn’t pay attention to the distance.”
She continued, “Of course, I must be responsible for this situation. But Eva , you must believe me, I will not get involved in your relationship, and he will not betray you.”
After Joe Wright took the initiative to make peace, Eva Taylor calmed down and figured out a lot of things, and she knew exactly what kind of person Emma Rosy was. To be honest, she and Joe Wright have had all kinds of conflicts in the past two years, several times almost broke up, the reason why they can go to the engagement, thanks to Emma Rosy’s tireless reconciliation again and again.
And every time they quarrel, Emma Rosy always stand by her side, this point, can already explain the problem.
With Joe Wright taking a firm stand and Emma Rosy making her attitude clear, the previous misunderstanding dissipated, and Eva Taylor, while relaxed, felt a bit sorry.
“Actually, I was wrong too.” She converged her eyes, fingertips unconsciously drawing circles on the bed sheet: “Someone said you and Joe relationship is too … close, I know it is impossible, but still can not help but suspect. But when I heard in the evening that you were sick, I suddenly got particularly panicky and even felt … that even if Joe and I couldn’t get together in the end, I didn’t want to lose you as a friend.”
The full moon shifted to the west, the moonlight diminished, but the canopy was light green, and there were faint bird calls coming from the distant woods between the mists.
Eva Taylor leaned over, took Emma Rosy’s hand, and said, as if she had the courage to do so, “Emma, let’s make up.”
Emma Rosy huddled under the warm blanket, tilted her head slightly to look at her, and suddenly puffed out a laugh.
“Silly girl, people get along with each other like teeth and lips, there is always a time to bump, we can not guarantee never to fall out, but after falling out, of course, to make up!”
A ray of light penetrated through the clouds, crossed the window pane, sprinkled into the old house with antique furnishings, shining between They people’s gratifying smiles.
After last night’s tumult, everyone did not rest well, so at dawn, coincidentally, they were still sleeping, and only at sunrise did they get up one after another.
The search for Master Wood continued, and seeing that Emma Rosy had been refreshed, Joe Wright knew that he could not stop her, so he cooperated fully. As he was about to leave, Eva Taylor came out of the house after him, dressed in a sports outfit that didn’t fit the usual fashion.
“I’m coming with you, okay?” Already well-prepared, but afraid of rejection, so cautiously asked.
Seeing that she wasn’t gambling and was doing her best to get rid of her Missy temper, Joe Wright and Emma Rosy were naturally happy to see it. It was the villagers’ uncle who was frightened by their experience yesterday and worried that they would have another accident, so he had to help lead the way.
Emma Rosy was already embarrassed that a large group of people were staying here, and did not intend to bother the uncle, but since he insisted, it was better to have an extra guide than to explore the road by intuition, so she agreed.
The woods were still there, but the villagers chose a section of the road near the mountain, which they thought was the most difficult to travel yesterday so they were the first to veto it.
“From here through the woods is the shortest distance.” The villager uncle raised his hand high and pointed to the distance: “The place you want to go, around that mountain in front of you should be able to see, but how long to walk, I’m not sure.”
As long as there is an accurate direction, and there is a road feasible, how far can be reached. The sun was creeping overhead, and the temperature was rising, but Emma Rosy’s heart was full of hope, as if she had endless strength.
Although she is thin, her body’s ability to resist stress is stronger than most people, compared to Eva Taylor, who has not exercised for a long time, is a bit worse.
Two or three hours in the forest, the sun always through the gaps in the branches and leaves fall on the body, the ground is not flat, the sides of the unknown plants will also scratch the delicate skin, if not a companion can walk and talk, she simply feel like a savage living in the primitive forest.
Despite gritting her teeth and holding on, she finally couldn’t hold on any longer when she walked through the woods and saw the towering and treacherous peaks ahead.
“I can’t … I really can’t walk anymore …”
She was tired of breathing poorly, and could not care less about dirty, directly leaning against the trunk of the tree sitting on the ground, afraid to give Joe Wright trouble, took the initiative to propose to stay here and wait for them.
Early expected that she could not go to the end, Joe Wright was not surprised, nor the slightest impatience, but squatted in front of her, patting his shoulder: “Come up.”
“Huh?” Eva Taylor was dumbfounded, or more accurately, incredulous: “What are you doing? You’re not going to carry me, are you?”
Joe Wright pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his tone contained spoiling: “Ms. Taylor can persist until now, has been unexpected, this, consider it a reward.”
“Who wants your reward, I am not a child …”
Eva Taylor flattened her mouth and muttered a few words, but the action of climbing on the back is quite rapid, afraid that he regretted .
Joe Wright often exercise, so do not feel tired, carrying Eva Taylor continue to walk, but can not help but think, such a lovely girl, if she is really his sister how good, then he can wholeheartedly love her.
Herman Baker, who is straightforward and not very talkative, smiled and joked: “So she’s your girlfriend, I thought you and Emma Rosy were a couple!”
Once the words were out, the rest of the faces flashed more or less embarrassed, and even Chloe Clintn secretly pinched him, lowering her voice to complain: “Shut up if you can’t talk!”
Emma Rosy didn’t want Eva Taylor to get the wrong idea this morning, so she explained casually, “We’re brother and sister, Eva became my sister-in-law last month, and I already have two daughters.”
