Chapter 403


    $31 146. Cool Dresscode


    “| really don’t understand. Why weren''t we allowed to participate from the start? Why are we only being called now? What kind of


    party will we attend?” Louis walked beside Emily with pursed lips.


    Instead of pouting, Emilyughed. “Don’t be angry, Louis. We only missed 15 minutes.”


    “A lot can happen in 15 minutes. We could have missed a lot.”


    “Maybe it’s an adult event. We can’t participate because we''re still kids.”


    Louis snorted heavily. “At this rate, can’t wait to grow up. That way, no one will be able to stop us. We can take part in all the


    events.”


    “Don''t say that, Louis. Mommy said, we should enjoy life. Just focus on what’s happening now. Enjoy our childhood. Because


    when we''re old, we might miss this time.”


    Louis narrowed his eyes and nced at his sister. “You know what? Sometimes | think you’ve grown up. The way you talk is like


    an old


    woman.”


    “That’s because I’m wise.” Emily pushed her hair behind her shoulder with one hand. Her other hand held a small gift box.


    “By the way, why did you bring that?”


    “This?” Emily shook the ribboned box. “Mommy said that each of us had to bring a special gift for Auntie. Didn’t Daddy tell you to


    prepare a gift for Philip?”


    Louis blinked. “Daddy or Philip didn’t ask me to bring anything. They said | just needed toe and have fun.”

    “Could it be that men’s and women’s events are different?” Emily tilted her head.


    “It could be. Our dress code is just different.” Louis pinched his unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt. Her pot belly peeking out looked


    adorable. “Are you all wearing floral dresses?”


    Emily nodded quickly. “Yes. Did you see Grandma Mnie and


    Grandma Susan earlier? They were also wearing floral dresses. I’m curious what Grandma Diana will wear when she arrives.


    Whether sheplies with the dress code or not.”


    “Whatever she wearster, I’m sure she will look beautiful. Oh, look! Auntie is ready to wee you!”


    Louis pointed towards the door. Barbara was standing there, waving, The white dress and flower crown made her look sweet.


    “Hello, Emily! Wee to my bridal shower.” Barbara ced a smaller flower crown on Emily''s head.


    “Thank you, Auntie. This is very beautiful. Does everyone get a crown? “Emily asked while adjusting the position so that it was


    more stable.


    Barbara shook her head. “Just the two of us. The bride-to-be and the flower girl.”


    The curve of Emily’s lips grew sweeter. “Does it mean I’m the second most beautiful woman today?”


    Barbaraughed lightly at thepliment. “Yes, the bride-to-be and her flower girl should be the prettiest at their event.”


    “Anyway, Auntie, | brought this gift for you.” Emily handed her the


    small box in her hand.


    Barbara epted it with her mouth agape. “You also prepared a gift for me? Thank you, Sweetie.”

    “You''re wee, Auntie.”


    Emily stood on tiptoe, wrapping her arms around Barbara’s waist. After rubbing the little girl’s back, Barbara’s attention turned to


    the boy who was busy observing the situation..


    “And hello..., Louis. What are you doing here?” Barbara raised an eyebrow. “You know that only women can join my event, right?


    The men’s event is in the east yard.”


    Louis put on an innocent look. “I know that. But, as a real man, |


    couldn’t possibly let Emilye alone. So, | took the time to escort her here.”


    Barbara sighed in amusement. “We''re at home, Louis. Is that


    necessary? Just admit that you want to peek at my party.”


    Louis stared wide-eyed while holding his breath. His cute expression made Emily giggle.


    “| have warned him, Auntie, but Louis is still curious.”


    “Actually, | just wanted to check whose party was more fun. Is there more food here?” Louis tilted his head again, peering.


    In the back yard, three long couches were arranged in a U shape, surrounding several tables. One table was specifically for gifts.


    The other two were for food, dominated by cake and fruit.


    The women were talking there. Their clothes provided a nice contrast with the pastel floral decorations.


    “Wow! This event is really suitable for girls. Emily will be happy.”


    “Yeah, | can’t wait to join the others. It’s going to be fun.” Emily jumped a little while holding her flower crown with both hands.


    “Then you can pass, Emily. And you, Louis, go to a party that suits your dress code. By the way, what are you wearing?”

    Louis touched the brim of his bowler hat. “This? Can’t you judge it? This is outfit for a pool party.”


    “Okay, pool party. There’s no pool here, Louis. You''re in the wrong ce. Go to the east yard.”


    Louis’ lips pursed. His eyes narrowed at the U couches. However, seeing Kara wave, his face brightened up again.


    “Oh, look! Mommy is calling me.”


    As Barbara looked back, Louis barged in.

    “Philip’s event is pool party, Mommy. Are my clothes inappropriate? Why does everyone alwaysugh when they see me?”


    “It''s because of your stomach, Louis. You''ll catch a cold if you keep your buttons open like that,” Kara exined, holding back


    her


    amusement.


    “| searched for it on the inte. Many models look like this when shooting in the pool, apart from those who only wear pants.”


    “Don''t you feel cold?” Susan asked as she was sitting next to Kara.


    “| feel ticklish every time the wind blows.”


    Kara covered her chuckle with one hand. “If you feel ufortable, just link this button. You''ll still be cool.”

    “Is it true?” Louis looked down and fastened a button. “How is it, Mommy?”


    Kara gave two thumbs up. “Cool!”


    Louis smiled. “Thank you, Mommy. So, why did you call me?”


    “Can you help Mrs. Connor?”


    Louis widened his eyes and looked at the woman sitting next to Ava. ” How can | help her?”


    “Mrs. Connor is feeling a bit tired. She wants to rest in her room. Can you call Bryan to pick her up in a wheelchair? Mrs. Connor


    think she can’t walk all the way to her room.”


    Louis looked at the woman with pity “Is Mrs Connor sick?”


    “No, Louis. My mother is just tired. She hasn’t stood up and walked in a while. Can you call Bryan? He’s not picking up the


    phone, neither is the other guy. It seems their rule is not to hold phones.”


    “That’s right. I’m not allowed to bring a watch. OK. I''ll call Bryan right away. Please be patient, Mrs. Connor.”


    Wasting no time, Louis ran alone to another yard.
