Chapter 474
Kendall sat up, and Emma passed her the brown sugar syrup.
"Thank you, Emma. Good thing I still have you."
Emma smiled. "Thank Master Dn. He assigned me to you, after all."
Kendall sipped the syrup. "Wonder if he''s doing as I say. He never does anything I tell him to. I bet he''s
starving himself right now."
"No, he listens to you. Don''t worry too much. He won''t starve himself. He still has to take you home."
Emma smiled with a hint of envy in her eyes. "I envy your rtionship. I''ve worked for him for many
years, and he''s an aloof man. But once he loves, he loves deeply. You''re fortunate and brave. You
managed to make him fall for you all through your work."
Yeah, right. It''s all thanks to me being reborn. Wouldn''t have clung onto him otherwise, and none of this
would have happened. I was blind in myst life. "Sometimes you gotta fight for your happiness."
She did fight for her happiness in this life. She clung to him without fear and did her best to learn and
grow until she could stand by him. Thanks to him, even without any cheat system helping her like most
protagonists in novels like this, she managed to live well.
Even though there were some blips now, she knew they could work through it together and gain Tilly''s
approval. Now that she wasn''t working or attending any etiquette sses, she had time to think about
her marriage life, and she realized she spent too little time with her husband''s family.
If she never gave anything to them, she had no right to expect anything from them. She had to
shoulder a bit of the responsibility for what happened. Marriage was a two-way street, and in their
community, marriages involved families, not just individuals. Both families had to merge for the
marriage to work.
A forlorn Emma said, "Sometimes, you still can''t get any happiness even if you fight for it." She did fight
for her happiness, but in the end, she had to force herself to forget about Toddy. Someday, I will move
on from him, shemented in silence.
"Do you know anybody who''s super loyal? Except for Master Dn. And I need it to be a guy."
Kendall looked at her and smiled. "You want me to y matchmaker?" Just what I wanted. I''ve always
wanted to match her up with Nelson. But he''s not as good as Toddy. Wonder if she''d think he''s not a
good match. Nelson was still in the hospital. She never told him things were going bad between her
and the Colemans just in case it would affect him.
"I see you have someone in mind. I need a new rtionship to forget about the pain brought about by
thest one. I''d like to try."
Kendall finished the syrup soon enough. For some reason, the pain in her belly subsided. Perhaps it
was nullified by the excitement of ying matchmaker. "Are you sure you and Toddy are over?"
"I''m over him."
"What about him?"
"He never cared about me."
Kendall didn''t think so. She had a hunch that Toddy had feelings for Emma, but he just couldn''t bring
himself to admit it. "I think Nelson''s a good guy. And Roger, too, but they''re not as good as Toddy, so
you might not like them."
Kendall thought her brothers were good men, but she wasn''t Emma. She couldn''t control what Emma
thought about them.
"I''ve seen Nelson before, haven''t I?"
"I think so? But maybe not."
Emma smiled. "I don''t remember him. Probably never officially met. Toddy''s an ideal man, but he''s too
ideal for me. I should find someone around my level. Trying to go after someone out of my league is a
tiring endeavor. So, how''s he doing?"
"Getting better."
"He''ll heal."
"Would you give him a chance? I''ll hook you up after he gets better if you want."
"Sure," Emma answered without hesitation.

She had no idea what kind of man Nelson was, but if the Woods could raise Kendall well, they could
raise their other kids fine, too. The Woods was a fine family, after all. She wasn''t after a life of wealth.
All that mattered to her was a stable rtionship. Toddy is in the past now. No, we haven''t even dated.
Not like he can be my past.
And then, her phone rang. She took a look and froze.
Kendall noticed the look on her face. She smiled. "It''s Toddy, isn''t it?" Speak of the devil.
"Yes." The smile was wiped off Emma''s face. She said coolly, "There''s nothing to talk about but work."
"Well, why don''t you pick it up and find out?"
Emma stayed quiet. He knows I''m assigned to Kendall. There''s no way he''s gonna call for work. Still,
she took the call.
While Emma went out to take the call, Kendall picked her phone up and noticed Orapolis'' news on her
feed, and it was rted to her.
She clicked on the news article and read through all the gossip. Man, theizens sure know how to
make a story.
Look at this. Tilly apologizes and epts me back into the fold because I am pregnant with Dn''s
child? Yeah, right.
She then rubbed her belly. Ouch. The pain was still tormenting her. I wouldn''t be going through this
torture now if I were pregnant. She and Dn had talked about it and agreed to not make any babies
for the time being. Every time they talked about kids, she would be reminded of the one she had in her
past life. I couldn''t raise herst time, and this time, I can''t even get to see her. I hope she finds herself
some good parents.
The apology came as a surprise. No matter what, Tilly still loves Dn. She wouldn''t relent otherwise.
How long did he stand outside the house? Can his legs hold up? She started missing him. She would
have flown back into his embrace and kissed him a thousand times if she could.
Emma ended the call and stayed quiet for a long while. Toddy didn''t talk about work. All he did was
make small talk, and she could see he was trying to make conversation. Emma hung up first, and she
noticed the reluctance in his voice as he said goodbye. She finally returned to Kendall''s room a long,
long whileter.
Kendall noticed the dour mood and asked in concern, "What happened?"
