Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Coming Together with Baron Stuart
Mother’s concern warmed Emily Walker’s heart in an instant.
However, if she were to speak her mind, though they were both daughters and she was the biological one, they had raised Camila Walker for 20 years. Comparing their feelings, perhaps the deepest emotions were between their parents and Camila Walker.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
In that case, what could Mother do even if she knew?
“I’m fine, I was just sleeping, and I’m still a bit groggy,” said Emily Walker, making up an excuse.
Hearing that, Angela Reid didn’t overthink it.
“Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?” Being her biological mother, Angela Reid actually wanted her to be with her every day. After all, she had lived half her life, and who wouldn’t want to be with her own flesh and blood?
But she was married. She didn’t even want to come back for a meal on the weekend, did she?
Angela Reid was worried that if they remained distant like this, she would lose any hope of finding her long-lost daughter.
Hearing the disappointment in her mother’s voice, Emily Walker sat up and thought about it, feeling that she shouldn’t ignore her mother’s intentions because of her own mood.
“I don’t have anything important, I’ll be there tomorrow—”
“Mom, let Baron Stuart join her!”
Before Emily Walker could finish speaking, Camila Walker’s voice suddenly came from the other side of the phone.
To Angela Reid, her daughter’s suggestion was perfectly normal. When a daughter returned to her mother’s home for a meal, it was natural to bring her husband along.
However, to Emily Walker, these words sounded particularly harsh and heartbreaking.
Was she eager to see Baron Stuart?
“Sure, come over with Baron Stuart,” Angela Reid said, smiling as she looked at her daughter.
“He’s busy with something tomorrow, he might not be able to make it. I’ll ask him,” Emily Walker replied.
The two chatted casually for a while before quickly hanging up the phone.
Time passed slowly, and Emily Walker, in a daze, was not sure how long she had slept. When she felt the space beside her sinking in, she knew Baron Stuart had returned.
These days, the couple hadn’t slept together because of various reasons. Baron Stuart obviously couldn’t bear it any longer and embraced her as soon as he got into bed.
Thinking of the pitiful Jason Zion crying on Main Street tonight, he didn’t understand it, but the pain in his chest didn’t subside and naturally held her even tighter.
Emily Walker lay still, not intending to resist. However, when she thought of the images in the photos, she instinctively moved her body away, retreating from his embrace.
Baron Stuart furrowed his brows,.
Was she resisting him?
Looking at her back turned towards him, Baron Stuart’s eyes narrowed, and he moved his body closer to hers once more.
“I’m so tired and sleepy…” she deliberately masked her voice to sound exhausted, not wanting the man behind her to see through her.
Now, whenever she thought of those images, his touch would only cause her more pain.
Hearing her slightly tired voice, Baron Stuart thought she was actually exhausted, and whispered, “What do you think I’m going to do? I just want to hold you while we sleep.”
As he spoke, Baron Stuart reached out to hook his arm around her slender waist.
But as soon as his hand made contact, the person beside him sat up abruptly, her eyes full of pain, “I said I’m really tired!”
The loud, indignant voice filled the entire room, contrasting sharply with the tranquil night.
Baron Stuart frowned, not knowing what was going on with Emily Walker. Was it his fault?
