Chapter 1559
Kya’s eyes were so deep. “That’s why I said I almost cried.”
Emily laughed and pinched her little face. “Kya didn’t cry, which means Kya is a grown-up girl now!”
“Mom, where did you go?”
“I visited your uncle; he’s sick.”
“Is uncle afraid of taking medicine? Can I visit him?” Kya’s serious expression was especially adorable.
Emily said, “He’s not scared, he’s brave. When mommy gets a day off this weekend, how about we go to grandma’s house to see him?”
“Okay, can we buy two bags of milk candies for Uncle?”
“Are the milk candies for Uncle?” Ms. Simmons couldn’t help but chuckle and poured a cup of warm water for Emily. “Emily, have some water first, you’ve had a long day. I’ll have dinner ready in a bit, you can leave then.”
“Then I might as well stay for dinner. Estelle isn’t coming over today, so it’ll be just the three of us.”
Ms. Simmons asked, “What about Mr. James?”
Emily paused for a moment, then laughed. “I don’t think he’ll be coming over either.”
*Alright then, I’ll start cooking.” Ms. Simmons cheerfully said.
Emily carried Kya into the living room and let her play with her blocks while she went to take a bath and change. When she came out, her phone on the bedside table rang. She picked it up, glanced at it, and answered, “Hello?” “Are you home?” Charlie asked.
“I just got home!”
Kya make a fuss?”
“No, she behaved!”
Charlie chuckled. “I’ve been thinking about her all day, did she miss me at all?”
“Nope, she’s only got her bunny candies on her mind.” Emily giggled.
Charlie laughed out loud. “Then I’ll buy her a bunch more, so she’ll think of me whenever she craves for candies.”
Emily smiled and looked down at the pattern on her pajamas, saying nothing.
“I have a cocktail party tonight, so I might be home late. We didn’t sleep well last night, you should go to bed early. Charlie said it softly. “Okay!” Emily replied.
The invitation to the party had arrived three days ago, and she had personally scheduled it for him.
After a brief pause, Charlie suddenly asked in a deep voice, “Why didn’t you ask me about last night?”
Emily looked up. “What happened last night?”
Charlie paused, then said slowly, “Never mind, I’ll hang up first.”
“Mm.”
