Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 45


    Chapter 45 The Mark


    When Jaquan caught up to Arabe, she was squatting under a tree and making a phone call. She


    curled up and drew circles on the ground with her fingers in uneasiness. “Vincent, I’ll just ask you one


    question. Did you mean what you said in the private room just now?”


    Jaquan didn’t know what Vincent said on the phone, but Arabe hung up. It looked like she was under


    hypnosis.


    And she silently stared at the ground.


    Jaquan walked over and draped his coat over her.


    Arabe looked up and saw him. Tears suddenly flowed out of her eyes as she asked in a low voice,


    “Are you here tough at me?”


    Jaquan wiped away her tears with his thumb and sighed, “Arabe, you know I love you. I will never


    laugh at you.”


    “But I don’t want your love!” Arabe cried out loud. “I want Vincent! I’ve liked him for so many years!


    Why did he find a retard all of a sudden? Why? How am I worse than that retard?”


    Jaquan also wanted to roar. ‘I’ve liked you for so many years, but why won’t you give me a chance!’


    But he didn’t say it. He just lowered his head and suddenly said, “She’s not a retard.”


    “You speak for her!” Arabe stood up indignantly. She was still crying. She looked so beautiful when


    shedding tears under the streetmp, but in a sh, her tears were reced by hatred. “I don’t want to


    see her!”


    There were two kids in the Pecks. One was bold and the other was weak and timid. Unfortunately, the


    bold one was a girl, while the weak one, the family’s inheritor, was incorrigible. Because of autism and


    fear of darkness, he had never left the house. The Pecks made it clear to the public that they would


    make Arabe the sessor. That was why Arabe went to study abroad four years ago.


    At that time, before she left, she asked those friends to keep an eye on Vincent so that no vixens could


    get close. They joked, “Everyone knows that Vincent won’t get close to women except you…”

    Arabe thought that Vincent knew she was in love with him all this time. And the mental support when


    she was abroad was the wish that she could marry Vincent after she’s back. However, she didn’t


    expect that a retard would take her ce!


    How could she bear it?


    Jaquan was so familiar with Arabe that he understood her emotions. He immediately stopped her


    and said, “Arabe, don’t act rashly. Vincent is serious this time.”


    Arabe avoided him and walked forward. “Don’t get in the way.”


    “He marked her.” Behind her, Jaquan said calmly, “He gave her his first kiss.”


    Arabe suddenly turned her head and her eyes instantly reddened. Tears rolled down her cheeks as


    she covered her head and screamed, “No way! You are lying!”


    “We saw it.” Jaquan walked over and supported her shoulder. “I, Ferne, Armando, and Randy. We all


    saw it.”


    “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!” Arabe tried hard to break free, but she couldn’t. Because she was


    too angry, she identally pped him.


    It was finally quiet.


    Arabe stared at him and suddenly hugged him in grief and cried, “How could I have a breakup the


    moment I was back? Why… Why doesn’t Vincent like me….? Why? Am I a bad girl …?”


    “Arabe.” Jaquan hugged her and caressed her back. “Be with me, okay?” He asked softly.


    Arabe was still crying.


    Jaquan whispered in her ear, “I like you. I’ve always liked you since I was a child.”


    After a long time, Arabe finally stopped crying.


    Jaquan held her in his arms and was about to return by car.


    Halfway through, Arabe suddenly asked him, “Jaquan, can you do something for me?”


    This was the first time Arabe addressed him by name. Jaquan was so happy that he immediately


    nodded. “Okay!”


    …


    When Emily returned to the Britt’s, it waste. After she came out of the restaurant, she waited for


    Sydnee. Then, the three went to buy a locker and Emily locked the property ownership certificate


    inside. Afterward, she gave the key to Harold.


    Without saying a word, Harold put the key into the pocket of his shirt.


    On the way back, Sydnee wanted to ask something, but she didn’t know how to say it. She just looked


    at Emily from time to time. In her memory, Emily was still the little girl who wouldn’t grow up. She was in


    a whitece dress, had a soft and cute face, and sweetly called Eliot and Elsie. She was smiling,


    sensible, and obedient.


    Unlike the current her, who was looking out of the window expressionlessly with cold eyes.


    What exactly happened to her?


    “You don’t need to be curious about my rtionship with him.” Emily looked out of the window and said


    without raising her head, “I’m just a retard.”


    Sydnee was speechless.


    ‘Your ability to read people indicated otherwise, okay?’


    Harold looked at the two people in the backseat through the rearview mirror. Although he was usually


    dumb, it didn’t mean that he could be calm when he heard Emily being called girlfriend by Vincent and


    saw her hugged in public by him.


    A dumb man might look dumber because of shock, and others might mistake it as being mature.


    But it wasn’t like that. He hadn’te to himself yet. After all, it was Mr. Vincent. It would be hard to


    find him a match in City Y. And even if there was one, it wouldn’t be Emily!


    Harold recalled Emily’s strange behaviors these days, and suddenly realized something. Emily could


    change her style, so it was reasonable for Vincent to change his taste… No. No matter how much he


    changed, he wouldn’t love Emily. She was not even an adult!


    They were about to arrive at the Dickerson’s. Emily turned her head to look at Sydnee and said, “I’ll go


    to the Tea Manor in two days. Will you be there?”


    “Yeah.” Sydnee packed her bag and thanked her again before getting out of the car. Then, she waved


    her hand and said, “Text me.”


    “Alright.”


    This was the second time Emily hade homete.


    She thought only Eliot would be waiting in the living room and she didn’t expect the whole family to be


    there. All of their faces were gloomy. Beverly sat there and didn’t say anything when she saw Emily


    coming back. Elsie sat on the sofa with an ashen face. Only Maury and Eliot were standing in the living


    room.


    “Have you had dinner?” It was Eliot who noticed her and walked over to feel her hand. “It’s cold. Go


    wash your hands with warm water.”


    “Alright.” Emily washed her hands and came back. Sensing that the atmosphere was still gloomy, she


    couldn’t help but ask, “Eliot, what’s wrong?”


    Since something like that had happened this afternoon, even if the marriage between the Buckleys and


    the Britts wouldn’t be canceled, the Buckleys would do something to make it difficult for Elsie. Emily


    knew it, but she just pretended to be in the dark and asked.


    Eliot exined in a low voice, “The Buckleys had nned toe over tomorrow and talk about the


    engagement. But they called and said that Marquise’s head was injured. The engagement was


    postponed until the end of the year.”


    “You talked too much. How can she understand?” Maury frowned and turned his head to look at Emily.


    He softened his expression and said, “Are you tired? Just go to bed.”


    Emily blinked her big eyes and carefully said to Maury, “Good night, dad.”


    Eliot caressed her head and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s fine. Go to sleep.”


    How could he know that his little retarded sister was the one behind this thing that he was worried


    about all night?
