NovelAppChapter 197 Uncomfortable Peiying did not expect that Emily would reject her. She was stunned. After she reacted, she frowned
and said coldly, “Since Doctor Armstrong has already said it, then I will be blunt.”
Emily frowned. But before she could say anything, Peiying’s cold voice sounded in her ears. “My Lucas
attended your child’s parent-teacher conference and took you to the hot spring for a vacation, etc.
These are facts. How do you explain it?” Peiying stared sharply at Emily. Emily was stunned, and for a
moment, she was unable to refute. However, she never had any thoughts of overstepping her
boundaries when it came to Lucas.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and said, “Mrs. Greens, I have nothing to explain. But I want to say
that not everyone is interested in marrying into a wealthy family. I just want to be with someone I like.”
“Do you think I will believe such words?” Peiying looked over directly, obviously not believing what
Emily had said. “There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me. Anyway, I can only tell you at the
moment that Mr. Greens is not at all in my consideration for a partner.” Hearing this, and looking at
Emily’s indifferent expression, Peiying was inexplicably a little unhappy. For some reason, she felt that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe was looking down on her son. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by
Emily. “Mrs. Greens, I know that you care about Mr. Greens very much, but I think that if you have the
time to care about Mr. Greens’ private affairs, it is better to care more about Mr. Greens’ health. If Mr.
Greens is well, I think that Mr. Greens and I will not have any more interactions.”
Peiying choked. Emily continued, “In the end, even if I really had something to do with your son, it
would be a mutual relationship. Talking to me alone would not solve the problem.” “I will naturally talk to
Lucas about this. I just want to see Doctor Armstrong’s attitude first.”
Peiying did not want to be at a disadvantage, so she straightened her back and explained.
At the same time, she was also a little angry in her heart. She felt that Emily was too sharp-tongued
and rude. No matter what, she was still an elder. This woman was indeed something. She was good at
talking back. Emily naturally noticed Peiying’s expression, but she did not take it seriously.
Because she did not feel that what she said was wrong. She nodded and asked her to leave, “That’s
good. Please go ahead. I still want to read medical books.”
After that, she picked up the medical book she had put down next to her and started reading it again.
Obviously, she had no intention of continuing the conversation.
When Peiying saw this, she was not angry, but even a little suspicious. Doctor Armstrong didn’t seem
guilty at all. Could it be that she really misunderstood? However, whether it was a misunderstanding or
not, there were some things that should be said, so she quickly got up and left. Hearing the sound of
the door closing, Emily originally did not want to pay attention to it.
However, for some reason, the medical book that had been infinitely attractive to her suddenly lost her
interest.
Immediately, she frowned and felt that her mood was still somewhat disturbed, so she put down the
medical book, got up, and walked to the window, intending to get some fresh air. Outside the window,
the yellow street lights shone. Under the light, there was a delicate garden. The cool autumn wind blew,
blowing up Emily’s hair. It also seemed to blow away the irritation in her heart, which gradually calmed
her originally gloomy mood. It was also at this time that Emily was in the mood to enjoy the scenery
outside the window.
She saw that the dark night was much more beautiful than the stars in the city.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter an unknown period of time, there was a sound from the door and then the sound of the door
opening. Emily turned around and saw that the person who came was Lucas. He was also carrying
some food in his hand. “Mr. Greens, what are you doing?” She walked over in confusion.
Lucas gestured at the tray in his hand and said softly, “I thought you didn’t eat anything at night, so I
brought you some food.” “Thank you, Mr. Greens.” Emily thanked him and walked over with a natural
expression. Lucas placed the tray on the coffee table and asked with concern, “Isn’t it boring to be here
alone?” “Actually, it’s fine.” Emily said. Out of courtesy, she took a bite of the dessert and lost her
appetite. She looked at the handsome man opposite her. Thinking of what Mrs. Greens had said
before, she lowered her eyes and hid all the emotions in her eyes. Then, she changed the topic and
asked, “By the way, when will the banquet end? Can I go back early?” “What? Are you in a hurry to go
back? Or is there something?” Lucas did not notice her strangeness and asked casually. Emily did not
deny it. She tugged at the corner of her skirt and nodded. “Nothing, I just want to go back. This kind of
an occasion is not suitable for me. I feel uncomfortable staying here.”
