Emma Rosy knows very well that no matter what the relationship between her and Alex Brown becomes, in Keira’s heart they are her beloved mother and father, and if they fight each other, only Keira will be hurt.
So for the sake of her daughter, she can bear it as long as Alex Brown still has a conscience and doesn’t make things worse, she can accept a short separation.
Hope leaned into her arms and assured her that she would never leave her, and she smiled in relief, but her thoughts of her little girl were like wild weeds, almost trapping her whole heart.
Not wanting to worry her family, Emma Rosy went downstairs to watch the news with Master Wright after comforting Hope.
She knew what Joe Wright wanted to say, and after Master Wright went back to his room to rest, she took the initiative to be honest: “I do miss Keira , but don’t worry, in order to guard my two daughters, I will not let anything happen to me.”
“… It’s good to be able to look away.” A moment of silence, Joe Wright nodded, the corners of his lips raised a subtle arc, but his eyes were hollow, as if his heart was not in it.
He’d been wearing a similar look for a while now.
Master Wright asked at the dinner table, he said he was busy with the company’s work and lack of energy, people thought he might be in trouble with Eva Taylor again, so they did not ask more questions as a matter of course.
Emma Rosy, who had been preoccupied with Keira’s affairs for the past few days, was in a rare mood and was trying to persuade him, when the housekeeper came in and announced that Ms. Taylor was here.
Eva Taylor rushed into the living room and didn’t even bother with Joe Wright, but sat down directly next to Emma Rosy and clasped her hand.
“I just got back from a friend’s wedding in C. I heard from my brother that Keira was taken away from me, what’s going on? What the hell is going on? That Alex Brown guy is crazy, who is he to steal the baby from you?
Then she glared at Joe Wright: “And you, why didn’t you stop him?”
Emma Rosy’s eyes darted between They and a few doubts popped up in her mind, but unfortunately, before she could think about it, They really got into a fight.
More accurately, it should be Joe Wright unilaterally fuming.
“Keira left, the most anxious Emma, what is the point of you now,” Joe Wright was impatient.
“How do I … you ….”
She didn’t expect her good intentions to be met with a rebuke. Eva Taylor subconsciously wanted to retort, but considering Emma Rosy was still present, she didn’t want to ruin her mood again, so she held her tongue and bit her bottom lip to look away.
Emma Rosy tightened her grip on Eva Taylor’s hand and turned to her side to protect her, looking disapprovingly at Joe Wright: “What are you yelling at her for?”
Then she looked away and let out a deep breath: “I shouldn’t be saying this, but Grandpa is asleep and I don’t want to disturb his rest, or I’d ask him to come and teach you a lesson himself. Anyway, be nice to Eva and don’t make her angry all the time.”
Joe Wright kept his head down and his eyelids drooping listlessly, not because he was defiant or still angry, but because his mind was too confused to face Emma Rosy and Eva Taylor.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a long time, until Eva Taylor could not hold on, pulling Emma Rosy’s finger to speak, Joe Wright only spoke in a low voice: “Sorry, things have been busy lately, I was too impatient to control my tone.”
“You’re apologizing to the floor?”
Emma Rosy snickered, turned her head to look at Eva Taylor and smiled, then stood up and walked to the kitchen: “I’ll go wash the fruit, you guys talk first.”
When couples quarrel, they are most afraid to have outsiders present, both sides want to save face and refuse to give in, which will only make it worse.
However, Emma Rosy did not understand that once she left, They remaining people had nothing to say.
Joe Wright is preoccupied and can no longer think as calmly as before, while Eva Taylor is looking at the direction Emma Rosy left and is lost in thought, her heart is like a tipped over bottle of seasoning, a mixture of sweet and sour.
She knows that Emma Rosy is well-intentioned, Joe Wright looks like a gentleman on the surface, but real contact will reveal that he is actually very stubborn, not the kind of stubbornness that has to convince the other side, but what is hidden in the heart, because the fear of trouble, so choose to give in on some insignificant matters.
She understands more than ever that much of her current romance comes from the support of Master Wright and Emma Rosy, and the unrequited love Joe Wright has for Emma Rosy.
For several days in a row, Emma Rosy could only occasionally talk to Keira before going to bed at night, but the rest of the time, she could only hold the photos and miss her, and did not bother to go to the company, most of the documents were sent home by the secretary, and the cooperation projects were temporarily handed over to Charles Taylor.
She drifted off to sleep in the early morning and woke up at dawn.
Master Wright was reading the newspaper in the living room, and Emma Rosy slipped on her slippers and turned on the TV.
She was bored with the TV, and seeing that she was bored, Master Wright closed the newspaper, took off his glasses, and kindly suggested, “Let’s watch the news.”
Emma Rosy obediently changed the channel.
“Keira?!”
Master Wright makes a surprised sound, and Emma Rosy’s thoughts fall back to the TV, where the entertainment news is showing pictures of Alex Brown taking Keira out to restaurants and amusement parks, with the host droning on about Keira’s birth gossip for viewers.
After two years of reuniting father and daughter, Alex Brown is understandably fond of Keira and wants to give her all the goodies under the sun, but everything is too much.
Keira has a unique background and the Wright family has always taken great pains to protect her by rarely exposing her to the media, and Alex Brown’ bringing her in front of the camera, though perhaps unintentionally, will have an impact on her psyche and life.
Emma Rosy’s concerns are the same as Master Wright’s, but she is actually more worried because the existence of the woman who looks like Marisa Darcyhas not yet been revealed to her family.
After a brief discussion between the grandchildren, it was decided that Emma Rosy would interview Alex Brown to give him some advice on Keira’s safety.
However, when Alex Brown was contacted, Ivy Smith was the one who answered the phone.
“Alex is busy, just let me know if you need anything.”
Ivy Smith’s voice was unemotional, like a secretary on official business. Emma Rosy took a moment to consider the situation and said, “I saw the story about Keira on TV today. So I’d like to meet with Alex Brown to talk about it.”
“Is that the only thing?” Ivy Smith asked rhetorically, and after receiving an affirmative answer, did not respond explicitly, still with that calm tone: “We’ll take care of it later.”
And that was the end of it?
She and her grandfather had been worried after watching the news until now, and this was the end of it?
Emma Rosy’s face sank slightly, intending to remind her in a more forceful manner, but Ivy Smith had already preempted her: “Miss Richard, please understand one thing: Alex, like you, loves Keira the most and would rather have something happen to him than to her. And I love Alex so much that I will protect Keira with all my heart. We’re already working on ways to deal with the situation you mentioned, and Alex will not be taking Keira out in public again in the near future.”
After a pause, she said slowly, “So, you don’t have to call here.”
Ivy Smith had a point, and Emma Rosy listened with a blank look on her face until only a long beep sounded on the receiver.
She had pushed Alex Brown away from her for the millionth time that day at the hospital, and now it was another woman standing next to Alex Brown.
Ivy Smith can answer the phone for him and take care of Keira with him, while she can only stay as an outsider, watching from afar.
Brown Family.
In the absence of her father, there was only one Uncle Chan with her, and he was always proposing boring games for her to play.
Keira couldn’t bear to refuse at first, but after half a day of cooperation, she became more and more aggrieved and finally sat down on the floor, bawling and crying.
Eric Chan came in with a sweet soup and was shocked to see this, splashing the juice on his hand and grimacing in pain, but he had to maintain his patience to coax the child.
The little one rubbed the back of her hand against the tears and repeated the same phrase from beginning to end.
“I want to find my mommy and daddy!”
At that, Eric Chan frowned with worry.
The day before yesterday, Alex Brown took Keira to the river for fishing, perhaps because of the cold wind, the fever started that afternoon.
Originally he ordered to try to hide Keira, but according to the current situation, it seems impossible to hide.
Keira was lying on the couch, staring unblinkingly at her phone, until Alex Brown’ gentle smile appeared on the screen, then she waved: “Daddy, I miss you …”
Noticing that the walls behind Alex Brown are pale pink, although wearing a jacket, but also vaguely visible inside the hospital gown, Keira voice stalled, turned to worry: “Where are you? It seems to be the hospital where I stayed eh.”
Alex Brown removed his jacket, no longer disguised, and curled his lips helplessly and dotingly: “Little smartass, I knew I couldn’t fool you! Don’t be afraid, Daddy just has a common cold and will be home tomorrow.
Keira puffed up her cheeks and shook her head hesitantly.
It was true that she liked to go out and play with her dad, but his health was more important, and he had to rest more when he was sick, and he couldn’t work too hard.
“I want to go to the hospital to play!” The little one’s eyes twinkled and suggested smartly, “Daddy, I’ll go to the hospital with you, right?”
Alex Brown didn’t think twice about it and refused.
Keira begged and pleaded for a long time, but finally the video ended with the sound of the nurse urging Alex Brown to take his medication, Eric Chan put away his phone and continued to comfort her and find various games that could interest her.
Unfortunately, at this moment, her attention is all on Alex Brown.
“Uncle Chan, I’m hungry.” Keira rubbed her belly and looked up at him with bewilderment, “Daddy said you can make a cake, can you make it for me?”
Making cakes?
Eric Chan was stunned, thinking when did he acquire this skill, even he didn’t know. But as long as Keira doesn’t cry, he can learn!
“-Of course.” He smiled sheepishly, stroked the top of Keira’s head and asked, “What flavor do you like, uncle will make it.”
“Strawberry chocolate, with lots of jam.”
Keira replied casually, and when Eric Chan seemed relieved and then immediately went to the kitchen, she jumped off the couch and tiptoed towards the door.
An hour later.
Eric Chan found his way from the living room to the bedroom, and from the bedroom to the patio, and after asking everyone where Keira was, his heart shook hard.
The cake with its tray fell to the floor, splattering sticky creamy chocolate at his feet, a mess, just like his state of mind at the moment.
At the same time, the story of Alex Brown’ reunion with his daughter was printed in this week’s magazine and delivered to Cameron Hunter’s apartment, where the maid placed it next to the coffee table.
Marisa Darcyhad nothing better to do than to sleep in until sunrise, leaning back on the couch after dinner and picking up the magazine when the picture of father and daughter on the cover caught her eye.
“Keira Wright?” she said, slowly narrowing her eyes and smiling strangely.
She had almost forgotten that there was such a “cutie” between Alex Brown and Emma Rosy. It must be nice to have his daughter back, might as well make him a little happier …
“Here we are!”
The old man let go of Keira’s hand and leaned over to teach her, “Don’t run off in the future, mommy and daddy will be anxious, okay?”
Keira nodded: “Thank you, Grandma, I’m going to find my dad.”
“Go on.” The old woman waved her hand, and she made sure Keira ran into the hospital lobby before she turned around and left.
Before Keira sneaked out of the villa, she ran on the road for half a day but couldn’t find her way, fortunately she met this kind grandmother and was brought to the hospital. If Emma Rosy knew about this, she would have to be scolded again.
With her cute attack, she successfully got the ward number from the nurse, and the little one jumped into the elevator and arrived at the floor where the senior ward was located.
She searched for each ward and finally found the corresponding number, but unfortunately, before she could touch the door, she was already blocked by the bodyguard in black clothes and black pants.
“You can’t enter here, go play elsewhere.”
The bodyguard had just recently joined the job and was unfamiliar with the Brown Family, so naturally he did not recognize Alex Brown’ daughter.
Keira’s cuteness had no effect on the poker-faced bouncer, and when pleading failed, she cried out again.
“Daddy is inside, I came to find daddy … why not let in … that is my daddy ah …” she raised her fist towards the bodyguard, but saw that the other party did not move, see the situation, the little one is anxious and worried, “You are the big bad guy! You’re a bad egg! Give me back my daddy, oooh …”
Alex Brown is taking a nap, the medication has sedative substances, so he slept extra heavy, but Ivy Smith came out of the bathroom, heard the sound of crying outside the room is not quite right, and opened the door to check.
Keira, who had been treating Ivy Smith in an ordinary manner, now finally found hope and threw her arms into her arms, whimpering that she wanted to find her father.
Without the door to the room, Keira’s cries were clearly audible, and Alex Brown finally woke up and looked at the door.
“Come on, coax her, she’s crying herself hoarse.”
Ivy Smith carried Keira to the hospital bed, and then picked up her bag, picked up the papers on the desktop: “There is a project handover ceremony this afternoon, I have to attend instead of you, I have to go first.”
Keira is Alex Brown’ own daughter, so she would never do anything extra. After all, the only way to be accepted by Alex Brown was to be true to Keira.
She closes the door, reminds the bodyguard to remember Keira’s face and not to let it happen again, then walks to the elevator and contacts Eric Chan.
If she was right, Eric Chan must be looking for someone in a hurry.
When the call was answered, Eric Chan’s breathless voice came through: “Trying to call you … Keira … Keira she …”
“She’s in the hospital.”
Ivy Smith slightly helpless to tell, want to urge him to do things more carefully in the future, and scrupulous of his hostility to their own, finally did not say more, a simple exchange of the recent work plan, then hang up the phone.
After sitting in the car and pursing her lips, Ivy Smith dialed her lawyer again, ready to take advantage of her free time to settle Keira’s custody issue as soon as possible.
With Keira back in the Brown family, Alex Brown would no longer have any reason to contact Emma Rosy, and if Emma Rosy wanted to see the children, she could send Alex Brown away and stop them from seeing each other. Only then would she have peace of mind.
However, in the hospital room Keira was stammering her thoughts to Alex Brown.
“Daddy is sick, I should stay with you, but … but when you are well, we will play together for a few days … and then I should go home.”
Seemingly afraid of upsetting Alex Brown, she carefully observed his expression, see him long silent, and added : “Mom and sister are waiting for me, Grandpa, Joe Dad and Eva Aunt, must also miss me … they will be sad. “
