“Are you coming back tonight?”
After thinking about it, she felt that this tone was like that she had been abandoned by him, which was
not suitable, so she deleted and edited another one.
“Are you busy?”
Before sending it out, she didn't forget to add her name, Emma.
Putting down the phone, Emma was a little nervous. She didn’t know whether she was worried that he
would not reply to her or worried that he didn't see it? She was not sure about it herself.
Soon, a text message came.
Emma grabbed the phone from the coffee table. It was indeed Sean's text message.
The content of the text message was only two simple words, “What’s matter?”
Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, she got into trouble again.
She wanted to ask him if he was really going to get married or if he was really busy with the wedding
and didn’t have time to worry about her. But after editing the content several times, she still felt that it
was inappropriate. So she was suddenly upset and irritated.
Finally, without even thinking about it, she edited a text message and sent it out.
The content was, “I can’t send text messages to you if I have no matters, Uncle?”
She deliberately added the word-uncle, with a bit of resentment. She blamed him for telling Flora that
she was his distant relative.
But after sending it, she regretted it. Who was she to Sean? She had no rights to question him, right?
Why was she angry? Whether he got married or not had anything with her? Why did she have to go
around him?
Emma felt so complicated. She picked up the phone and then put down the phone again. After she
picked up and put down the phone so many times, five minutes passed. There was no message
coming in.
After half an hour passed, there was still no message.
Sure enough, Sean didn't reply to her...
Sean had a meeting until 4:30 in the afternoon. Finally, he walked out of the meeting room.
His assistant, Pauline, dressed in an OL suit. She quickly followed his footsteps and whispered beside
him on his next itinerary and schedule.
Sean took his cell phone out and had a look. When he saw the word Uncle, he seemed to be smiling.
Pauline saw it, and stopped reporting. She asked, "Mr. Knight, do you have other arrangements?"
Sean put away his mobile phone, and looked back at Pauline, "No, go on..."
"Okay, the next schedule is 8:20 in the evening. There will be a dinner with the people from Urban
Construction Department. At 11 o'clock..."
Pauline's voice disappeared in the elevator. The elevator was moving up quickly.
...
Emma slept with her mobile phone.
When she woke up, Flora was already in the kitchen and preparing dinner. Nunu also slept on the
carpet under the coffee table.
The first thing she opened her eyes was to look at the phone.
The screen was clean. Sean didn't reply to her text messages at all.
Putting the phone aside, Emma got up from the sofa.
Flora just came out of the kitchen and asked with a smile, "Are you awake? I just saw you fall asleep,
so I didn't wake you up. I didn’t know what you would like for dinner, so I just cooked some fresh
vegetable noodles."
Emma had become accustomed to having a light diet every day after she was discharged from the
hospital. Anyway, she had no choice.
She went to wash her face and then came back. She sat at the table and pick up the chopsticks.
Looking at the noodles without anything else, she finally lost her appetite.
Flora also ate the noodles.
Emma supported her cheeks, watched Flora eating noodles bit by bit, and asked curiously, "Flora, I
can't eat meat because the doctor doesn't allow it. Why do you follow me every day to be a vegetarian?
Do you not want to eat meat? "
Flora smiled. She continued to stir up the noodles in the bowl, and said, "No, I'm used to it. Mr. Knight
is a vegetarian. He can't eat meat. As the time pass by, I don't want to eat it, either. It's..."
Emma suddenly realized it after she heard Flora's words. She remembered that the last time when she
was drunk at Sean's house, she did hear that he said that he did not eat meat.
It was just that she didn't believe it all at the time. She thought that Sean disliked her, so he didn't want
to eat the bacon and sausages on her dinner plate.
"Then why doesn't he eat meat? Doesn't he lose strength if he doesn't eat meat? Then how does he
maintain his physiological functions?" Emma couldn't help but ask curiously.
Flora smiled, "I don't know the exact reason. But as far as I know, he also ate meat before. He had an
operation three years ago. Since then, he never eats meat again. Not only did he not eat, but he would
vomit if he smelled too much. I have seen him vomiting when facing a plate of raw meat in the kitchen...
As for physical function, there is nothing to worry about. He eats fish and seafood. Besides, Mr. Knight
is very good at exercising. Do you think he is thin?"
"..."
When Sean came out from the hotel, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning.
Pauline was waiting in front of the car. Seeing him and a group of people walking out of the hotel, she
hurried forward with his coat.
Sean was wearing a black handmade suit. Standing under the advertising screen next to the hotel, he
looked a little pale.
Pauline put the coat over his shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Knight, are you okay?"
Today Sean did drink a lot. He was still sober, but the other party had already been crushed by him.
Looking at Sean like this, Pauline, as his assistant, still felt a little sorry for him. She blamed the
secretary, Calvin, "Mr. Knight's liver has always been bad. Don't you guys know to help him drink
some?"
Calvin felt very wronged, but he didn't dare to say anything. He didn't expect that Mr. Knight, who was
almost non-drinking, would suddenly drink so much with the president of a newly listed company.
That president also didn’t resist it.
Sean didn't say much. He seemed to smile. But Calvin didn't feel that Mr. Knight hit off with that person.
However, Mr. Knight still drank a cup after a cup, as if he was competing with that person, until that
person was completely drunk. ...
Calvin lowered his head and said to Pauline, "I'm sorry, Pauline. I didn't take good care of Mr. Knight..."
With a gesture, Sean stopped Calvin who hadn't finished speaking, and said to Pauline, "I'm okay.
Drive me back."
After speaking, he strode ahead and headed straight for the black Bentley.
Pauline didn't forget to give Calvin a fierce look. Then she turned around and quickly go up to open the
door of the back seat for Sean.
...
In the car, Sean leaned on the seat, took off his tie, and threw it on the seat beside him.
Pauline, who was on the passenger seat, turned her head and asked, "Would you like to go back to
your villa by the sea?"
Sean nodded.
After a while, he closed his eyes and suddenly said, "Go to CJ Villa..."
Pauline said yes and told the driver to turn around.
In CJ Villa.
Emma lay on the bed, tossing around. She couldn't sleep. She would pick up the phone every few
minutes and took a look at it.
