Chapter 318 He Only Listened to Emily Watching the man wash the clay pot in a strange manner, Emily could not describe what
she felt in her heart. It was sweet. Then she retracted her gaze and continued to do what she was doing.
Unexpectedly, after a while, there was a loud bang in her ear.
“Ah-”
Emily was so frightened that she cried out involuntarily. She instinctively turned her head to look and saw Lucas standing by the
side with a frozen expression. There was a broken pot by his feet. At this moment, Lucas also had a look of annoyance on his
face. “Can I say that I accidentally broke it?” He spread his hands and looked at Emily innocently. Emily did not know whether to
laugh or cry. It had to be known that she had used this clay pot for several years, and she had never broken it. “Why don’t... you
go out and sit.”
She looked over tentatively.
When Lucas heard this, his expression was a little embarrassed.
Perhaps because the sound just now was a little loud, Lucy was alarmed and came out of the room. She asked with concern,
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just that the clay pot broke.” “How could the clay pot break...” Lucy seemed to think of something halfway
through her sentence. She did not continue and looked at Lucas helplessly. Seeing this, Lucas looked even more embarrassed.
However, he was used to keeping his composure. Emily noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward. She coughed lightly
and said, “It’s almost time for Ethan and Sofia to leave school. Why don’t you help me pick up the children?”
“Okay, I’ll pick them up.” Lucas quickly nodded and felt relieved. Not long after he left, Mr. Hawking and Mr. Meng arrived one
after another. Because dinner was almost ready, Emily accompanied the two elders to chat in the
living room.
Mr. Meng did not see Lucas come over. He could not help but say, “Why hasn’t Lucas come? Did he forget? Ms. Armstrong, you
should call Lucas.” “Mr. Greens came a long time ago, but I told him to pick up Sofia and Ethan. He should be back soon.” Emily
did not think too much about it and told the truth. Unexpectedly, her words made the two elders look surprised. Mr. Hawking
joked, “So he went to pick up the children. He really looks like a father.” “Cough cough...” Emily choked on her own saliva. She
didn’t expect Mr. Hawking to say that. Her cheeks were a little hot, and she said shyly, “Mr. Hawking, don’t talk nonsense. Mr.
Greens and I are just friends.” “I know, I know. You are just friends now.” Mr. Hawking said and chuckled. His expression clearly
showed that he did not believe what Emily said. “Mr. Hawking, if you continue to joke with me, don’t blame me for taking back the
prescription I wanted to give you!” Emily’s face was even hotter from his teasing. As soon as she said this, she instantly grabbed
Mr. Hawking’s lifeline. He began to beg for mercy, “Hehe, I was just saying it randomly. Don’t take the prescription back.” Mr.
Meng looked at him like this and smiled very awkwardly. “Who told you to be so talkative? Ms. Armstrong, don’t give him the
prescription, but you can give it to me.” “Meng, don’t even think about it.” Mr. Hawking glared at him. Seeing that the two old men
were about to argue over the prescription, Emily quickly comforted them, “Seniors, there is no need to argue. You both can have
it.” As they were talking, Lucas brought the two little ones back from the outside. At the same time, Vivian and Lu Shizhou arrived
too.
When Emily saw that everyone was here, she simply introduced them to each other and announced that dinner was about to be
served. After sitting down, she picked up her wine glass and looked around. She said gratefully, “Today’s meal is mainly to thank
everyone here. When I was in trouble, you all helped. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come out so quickly. In short, thank you all.”
“Emily, you seem to be estranged from us. I will drink this wine, but there’s no need to thank me. We are friends, shouldn’t we
help each other?” Vivian said and drank the wine. Lu Shizhou also agreed from the side, “That’s right, you don’t have to thank a
good friend.” Emily felt warm when she heard this. However, Mr. Hawking stared at Lucas’ wine glass and deliberately looked for
trouble. “Lucas, why are you drinking soda instead of wine?” “I was the one who asked him to drink soda. Although Mr. Greens’
body has improved a lot, he still has to be wary of his diet.” Emily did not wait for Lucas to answer and spoke first. “Oh, so it was
Ms. Armstrong who ordered it. I was wondering why this brat was so obedient. I told him to quit smoking last time and this brat
often disobeyed me in secret. Do you only listen to Ms. Armstrong?” For some reason, when she heard this, Emily felt an
indescribable joy in her heart.
She couldn’t help but secretly look up at Lucas. Lucas was looking over at her too.
Their gazes met in the air without warning,
Looking at the man’s deep eyes, Emily looked away in panic, but her ears, which were gradually turning red, betrayed her mood
at this moment.
