    $31 198. About to Give Birth


    “Hello, Brandon. Wee to our event,” Louis shook his ssmate’s


    hand.


    “Hello, Louis. Happy birthday. | hope you live a long and healthy life,” the blonde boy said, asionally ncing at Emily.


    “Thank you, Brandon. Did youe alone?”


    Brandon nodded. “Yes, my parents had to attend another event. So, only the driver took me here.”


    After one blink, Brandon offered his hand to Emily. “Happy birthday too, Emily. You’re so beautiful tonight.”


    Emily shook Brandon’s hand with a sweet smile. “Thanks, Brandon. You also look cool tonight. The jacket suits you.”


    Brandon blushed. His lips twitched to suppress the excitement in his


    chest.


    “Thank you, Emily. | deliberately asked my mother to look for the best outfit. | want to look cool at this event.


    “Your mom has a good sense of fashion,” Emily nodded before ncing to the side. “Louis, | think you should try a regr tie like


    Brandon. You''re five years old. It’s time for you to leave that bow tie behind. You should try something different.”


    Brandon nodded quickly. “Yes, Emily is right. A tie like this makes us look more mature, Louis.”


    Hearing that suggestion, Louis’ lips pursed. His hand rose, grasping the ck ribbon under his chin.


    “But this is my favorite tie. Mom bought it when she got her first

    bonus. And | think a bow tie is cooler than a regr tie. It''s ssier because adults only wear it when attending parties.”


    “If that’s the reason, it’s okay, Louis. Everyone has unique tastes. The important thing is that you arefortable and happy.”


    Emily patted Louis’ shoulder. “Oh, your tie is crooked.”


    While Emily fixed Louis’ tie, Brandon didn’t blink at her. The greater Brandon’s admiration for Emily, the redder his cheeks


    became.


    Silently, Brandon shifted the tie around his neck.


    “Emily, is my tie crooked?” he asked when Emily finished straightening Louis’ tie.


    Emily stared wide-eyed at Brandon’s tie, which almost reached his shoulders. Beside him, Louis wasughing.


    “Brandon must have twisted his tie on purpose so you would fix it.”


    Brandon gasped at the urate guess. “No. | think my tie is askew because | was wiping sweat earlier. | wasn’t careful.”


    “Sorry, Brandon. I''ve never worn that adult tie before, so | don’t know how to fix it. Maybe you could turn it to the front. At least it


    will stay straight with the buttons on your shirt.” Emily nodded slowly.


    Brandon''s lips curved downwards. With anguid movement, he rewound his tie. “Is it straight?”


    “Less.”


    Emily reached out, giving Brandon''s tie a light nudge. In an instant, the boy’s face became brighter than a 100 wattmp.


    “Thank you, Emily!” Brandon eximed while holding his breath. He didn’t want the pleasure to escape through his lungs.


    “You''re wee, Brandon,” Emily said lightly. “Louis, what if we ask Daddy and Mommy to teach us how to wear ties? When we


    be

    businessmen, we will often wear ties.”


    “Do women wear ties too? I’ve never seen them in the office.” Louis tilted his head.


    “I''ll make it a trendter. You''ll see. When | wear ties when | grow up, other women will be inspired. They’ll want to buy ties by


    designer Emily Harper.”


    “Emily, you''re so cool!” Brandon gave two thumbs up.


    Emily covered herughter with her hands. “Thank you, Brandon.”


    Still with sparkling eyes, Brandon took out his phone. “Emily, let’s take a photo together. I''ll save it in my best photo album.”


    Louis lowered an eyebrow. “Just the two of you? | wasn’t invited?”


    Brandon grimaced. “Okay, three of us, but Emily is standing in the middle. She’s a girl.”


    “That’s a great idea. Let’s ask someone to take a photo of us!” Emily. looked around, searching for Philip. What a coincidence,


    the uncle,


    was W


    towards them.


    “Uncle!” Emily waved.


    Louis did the same. “We want to take a photo with Brandon. Can you take our photo?”


    Brandon extended his hand politely. Instead of taking the boy’s


    phone, Philip showed his own.


    “Sorry, Brandon. We have to postpone that. Barbara just called me. Louis and Emily’s mother needs to be taken to the hospital


    immediately.”


    The three kids widened their eyes. “What''s wrong with Mommy?” Louis asked.

    The twins’ mouths opened wide. “Russell ising out? Where is Mommy now?”


    At that moment, Barbara arrived in front of them. “Louis, Emily...”


    “Auntie, where is Mommy? How is she doing?”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Jeremy, Ava, and the others also approached.


    “What''s wrong, Philip? Why did you tell us to gather?”


    “Did something serious happen?”


    Philip nced at Barbara. The woman took a deep breath.
