Chapter 1559


    Kya’s eyes were so deep. “That’s why I said I almost cried.”


    Emilyughed 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’ting over today, so it’ll be just the three of us.”


    Ms. Simmons asked, “What about Mr. James?”


    Emily paused for a moment, thenughed. “I don’t think he’ll being over either.”


    *Alright then, I’ll start cooking.” Ms. Simmons cheerfully said.


    Emily carried Kya into the living room and let her y 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, nced 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.


    Charlieughed 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 homete. We didn’t sleep wellst 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 aboutst night?”


    Emily looked up. “What happenedst night?”


    Charlie paused, then said slowly, “Never mind, I’ll hang up first.”


    “Mm.”


    Emily hung up the phone, then realized after a moment that Charlie was probably referring to the


    woman she saw in the hallway of The Velvet Spring Hotelst night.


    What was she supposed to ask? If there was something going on between them?


    Did she really need to ask?


    Emily smiled at herself, put her phone on the table, and went out to join Kya


    Across the line, Charlie held his phone, his usuallyzy and noble gaze now filled with a quiet

    Suddenly he felt as though he wasn’t that important to Endy


    He felt that Emily didn’t love her, she was with him only because she owed him a favor and because of


    his persistence. Whether he spent the right with her or with another woman, the didnt seem to care or


    show any interest. She never even questioned him, as if it was none of her business/Thats why she


    never made the rtionship public. To her they werent dating they were maintaining a cohabiting
