Chapter41
Eliza took Emery’s backpack, and he entered the room in an
irritated manner. He walked straight to the living room and
picked up the TV remote.
He saw a small velvet box next to the remote control, which
looked familiar.
He picked up the box.
Eliza came out and saw Emery picking up the box. She said, “Mr.
Emery, this is from your mother for me to give to your father.
Please don’t lose it.”
“Did my mom want to hand it over to my dad?”
Eliza nodded.
Emery directly opened the box.
Eliza saw a large pigeon egg and her face darkened.
Mrs. McConnell, why the fuss? Mr. McConnell already gave her a diamond ring, how could she…
Ah…
Chapter41
Eliza sighed and went into the kitchen to make dinner.
Emery recognized at a glance that it was the one his father had
bought at the auction and given to his mother that day.
Mom actually sent it back again. What does she mean by this?
Emery sat on the sofa with a jewelry box in his hand and dialed Krista’s number on his phone watch.
Krista’s gentle voice floated out from the phone.
“Hello, Emery, did you finish school?”
“Yes, just got home, Krista, sigh…”
Emery sighed like a little adult.
Krista immediately asked with concern, “Emery, why are you sighing again?”
Emery played with the diamond ring and said unhappily, “My mom doesn’t know what’s going on, she’s not at home and she doesn’t cook for me on time.”
He still wanted to eat the food cooked by his mother. The food cooked by his mother was the most delicious.
But he didn’t want to call his mother to come back, as he was
Chapter41
afraid that if his mother was at home, she wouldn’t let Krista
stay over.
Krista said tenderly, “Emery, don’t be sad. Maybe your mother
had something going on. Once I’m discharged, I’ll take you out
for some delicious food.”
“Krista, you were so kind to me. I hope you could be discharged
soon. My mom has been acting really strange lately. Dad gave
her the ring he captured that day, which can make sounds. It
suits her well, but she unexpectedly returned it. I have no idea
what she was thinking.”
Krista hesitated for a moment, Terrence really took the ring and
gave it to Bethany.
Did he… still value their marriage?
“Krista? Are you listening?”
Krista immediately said with a smile, “I’m listening. Maybe your mother has some reasons. When your father comes back
tonight and finds out that your mother returned the ring, he
will definitely be unhappy. You should find a way to persuade him, you know?”
“Krista, you were really understanding.”
Chapter41
Emery suddenly felt that his mother had changed, becoming a
bit unreasonable.
Krista chatted with Emery for a while again.
When Eliza called Emery to have dinner, Emery reluctantly
hung up the phone.
Emery looked at the ring in his hand and thought, Krista was
right, Dad had a good intention, giving Mom a ring that could
make sound, but Mom didn’t want it, Dad would definitely be
very angry if he found out.
So he put away the ring, without intending to let Terrence
know.
During dinner, he also instructed Eliza not to say anything.
Eliza thought Emery’s opinion made sense. Mr. McConnell specially sent a ring to Mrs. McConnell, probably hoping to reconcile. However, Mrs. McConnell returned the ring. If Mr. McConnell finds out, he will be angry again, which is not conducive to their reconciliation.
So, Eliza also agreed.
Bethany didn’t leave the hotel all day and stayed in the room
cutting paper.
Chapter41
The Mendez’s villa was large, and with a family like theirs, there would inevitably be some parties in the future. If they could let more people see paper cutting, it would also fulfill Grandma’s
wish to some extent.
Therefore, Bethany cut very seriously.
In the evening, Terrence did not immediately go home. He left
J the company, ordered dinner outside, and delivered it to the
hospital.
I accompanied Krista until after eleven o’clock before returning
to the villa.
The villa was pitch black.
After finishing cleaning up after dinner, the servant would
usually go off duty and rest in the servant’s quarters in the
backyard, leaving the master with more personal space.
If the owner needed, they could be notified by phone to come
over.
Since Bethany married him, no matter how late it was, there was always a light on when he came back at night.
Sometimes, when Bethany was falling asleep, she would hear a sound and immediately come out to greet it.
Chapter41
Terrence pushed open the door, pitch black, devoid of any sense
of homey warmth.
He reached for the switch and turned on the entrance light.
