Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 178
When Emma took her first bite, she wanted to spit it out. It was terrible. The chef probably put ice on
the meat to keep it fresh, causing the meat to be slightly hard; and he even cooked it to medium well. In
this case, there was no soft and delicious taste at all. It was unptable and inedible indeed.
Emma tried her best and swallowed it. After all, Arabe meant well. Emma frowned, crammed the
meat into her mouth. Then, she reached for the teacup but touched a goblet.
She sniffed it and realized that it was Petrus; she didn’t check the bottle.
In fact, Emma had not drunk red wine for years. She took one sip. It had a round taste with the
fragrance of truffles and chocte, which could be a drink for women. It finished with a milky touch,
making it a proper drink for children as well.
After Emma finished her drinking, she said to Stony, “Drink a little more if you like. Have a drink with Mr.
Jaquan.”
Stony nodded, picked up his ss and stood up, “Mr. Jaquan, thank you for taking care of my mom
and me these days. I would like to propose a toast to you.”
The child was too mature for his age, and he shocked everyone at present. Even the foreign chef was
astonished and cried, “Oh my god!”
Jaquan couldn’t help butugh. It was rare for him to toast so seriously, “Alright!”
When they clinked their sses, Jaquan noticed that it was not a coincidence for Stony to lower his
cup at their first toast. Instead, he did it on purpose.
But how could such a young child know all these table manners?
Jaquan felt that the mother and her son had so many secrets with them, or to put it more urately,
too many pleasant surprises. He was impressed by this boy and knew Emma better now.
There was a knock on the door, and it was Collin again. He took the day shift and woulde over
directly as long as he got off work. He was not looking for Jaquan, but for Emma. The two of them did
have something to talk about. However, Jaquan didn’t notice what they were chatting, since he would
have the door closed every time.
As the door opened, Collin noticed the shoes at the entrance and smiled, “Do you have a guest?”
When he changed his shoes and entered, he saw Arabe, the Chef and her two bodyguards. He was
shocked by this pomp, “Is this an incognito visit from the princess?”
Arabe only knew him as Jaquan’s friend. Although she had only met Collin for a few times, she still
treated him as a friend. Moreover, he was the one who offered her massage when she sprained her
ankle earlier. That little joke reminded her that she might have gone too far, as if she was here to show
off her wealth.
She blushed and jumped to her feet, “Well, I have other things to do. I need to go first.”
Then, she left with the chef and the bodyguards in hurry.
Jaquan red at Collin and rushed out tofort Arabe.
Collin turned to Emma and asked, “Did I say something wrong?”
“She’s thin-skinned. You shouldn’t have said it out loud.” Emma sliced a piece of the foie gras and
tasted it. It was unptable as well and she spat it out on the tissue. Afterwards, she told Stony, “Don’t
eat that. It’s terrible.”
“You would be the only one who cannot bear the foie gras made by a five-star chef.” Collin changed his
shoes and entered the room. Usually when he was in his white coat, he would impress people with his
elegance and aloofness, as if he was going to vanish and ascend to heaven at any moment. But today
he wore a light colored coat with a beige sweater underneath, which gave him a rather approachable
look.

The white sweater went perfectly with his fair skin. He held tworge bags with his slender fingers and
threw two them onto the table and pushed them to Stony. “I bought these clothes of your size. Try them
on. I’ll change themter if they don’t fit.”
Stony took a look at Emma and with her permission took the clothes with him to the guest room.
Emma waited till Stony entered the guest room and said to Collin, “Thank you.”
“I thought I would be rejected.” Collin moved his knuckles. He would move his sour fingers every time
he had a break.
“I was thinking that you may build up a resentment towards my rejection and could poison me in my
medicine.”
“….”
Collin took off his sses and rubbed his nose. “I always thought I was the one telling bad jokes, but
now I have to admit that yours are worse.”
Emma chuckled, “I’ll treat you to dinner sometime. Thank you for taking care of me these days.”
“You thank me by buying me dinner. What about Jaquan? How are you going to thank him?” Collin
asked.
Emma gave it a thought for a moment and answered, “He offered help only to return my favor.”
Collin picked up his sses and looked at Emma through them. “Then what do you think would be my
reasons for helping you?” He asked.
Emma looked back at him and said nothing.
Collinughed, “Can we not be this serious?”
Emma lowered her head and rubbed her fingernails. She responded with a very soft voice, “Thank you,
but Stony and I are having a good life.”
“You’re very smart. If it weren’t for…” Collin didn’t continue. Instead, he pursed his lips and looked at
the door. Jaquan was standing outside the elevator, talking to Arabe. The door wasn’t closed, and
Collin could hear the intermittent conversation carried by the wind. ” … Don’t think too much. That’s
how he talks…”
Collin shook his head. He didn’t know whether it was for he was fed up with Jaquan being a simp or he
was tired of being stuck with current situation. There was a pause and then he said to Emma, “Notice
me when you are ready to get married.”
“…”
Emma raised her head and looked at him. She had a in face, but her eyes were dark and bright.
When she stared at people, she would give them the illusion that there was nowhere to hide. “You’re
actually a very decent person. There’s no need to talk like that.”
As a doctor, it was always Collin who gave patients serious examinations. This was the first time that
he had been stared at like this. He smiled with his eyes and eyebrows, “It seems like you know me very
well.”
“…”
At this moment, Stony went out of the guest room, wearing a new ck down coat, a sweater and a
pair of jeans, and a new pair of fleece-lined sneakers.
“Thank you, Mr. Jaquan.” Stony did a twirl in front of the two and looked at Emma expectantly.
Emma smiled happily, “They look good on you.”
When Jaquan came back, he saw a scene of two guests in his living room smiling at each other, with a
very obedient and handsome child standing aside.
They looked like a nice family of three somehow.
“What are you thinking about?” Collin put on his sses again and walked over and patted Jaquan on
the shoulder. “Let’s have a drink next time.”
He walked towards the entrance and waved to Emma and Stony, “I’m going back. There are medical
files to review.”
“See you.”
“Goodbye, Mr. Jaquan.”
After Collin left, Jaquan finally noticed Stony’s new look. He just realized that the mother and the son
hadn’t bring any clothes with them to live here, and Emma was even still wearing his sweater.
He didn’t think about it before.
Although the child was not rted to him, Jaquan was depressed and had a weird feeling. How could
he, the one who had been living with the two everyday under the same roof, not notice it, while Collin
could.. It was like the guests didn’t have a good time with the host, but was well-entertained by another
guest.
