Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 187 Marry? Mary?

Eliot brought the Dickersons into a private room in a Chinese restaurant.

He didn't say anything, waiting for the dishes. Mr. Dickerson was also calm. He wouldn't take the initiative to ask if Eliot didn't talk about it.

Sydnee was extremely anxious. As she ate, she couldn't help but glance at Eliot. She felt that this scene was almost the same as that of the blind date just now.

Coincidentally, she received a text message from Emily. Sydnee took out her phone and saw two words at the first glance: "Marry you."

"What?! Marry me?!"

Eliot was speechless.

Mr. Dickerson coughed softly, "What happened? Behave yourself."

Mrs. Dickerson clenched Sydnee's sleeve and said to Eliot, "She usually behaves well. She might be nervous today about meeting Mr. Eliot."

Sydnee didn't reply.

Eliot smiled and said, "Miss Sydnee, what made you so surprised? I seem to have heard that someone is going to marry you?"

Sydnee didn't know how to answer.

Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson also heard that. However, it was not appropriate to ask since Eliot was also there. Now that Eliot had asked, they just looked at Sydnee, puzzled. Sydnee gave a hollow laugh and said, "It's just my classmate's name, Mary! And I was quite surprised, because she was going to get married."

Mr. Dickerson nodded, "Oh, that's right."

Mrs. Dickerson also looked away. But Eliot seemed to have known exactly that Sydnee was lying.

Sydnee looked down and read the text message carefully.

"Perhaps he wants to marry you."

????

Sydnee tried to calm down with several cups of tea.

Mr. Dickerson said, "We should have visited you in the hospital with Sydnee, but ... when we were there that day, we met the Buckleys, and we just left."

Eliot held his teacup and said, "Actually, it wasn't all for Miss Sydnee that day. It was for my sister. Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson, you don't have to take it so seriously."

Mrs. Dickerson looked at him as if he was her son-in-law. She felt more satisfied with him. "Really? What a wonderful boy you are."

Eliot looked at Sydnee and said, "It's just that because of what had happened that day, people spread rumors. I'm afraid that it will cause trouble for Miss Sydnee, so I'm here to apologize." Sydnee smiled politely, "You don't have to do this, Mr. Eliot. Actually, I'm fine."

Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson were both decent, and they did not like to force Eliot to marry Sydnee. Hearing Sydnee's words, they all looked at her in relief.

Eliot was more or less aware of the Dickersons' ways. However, the more generous they were, the more ashamed he became. After all, he was responsible for what had happened.

He looked down at the tea and asked, "I heard that the Buckleys sent something to your family a few days ago?"

"Yes, but we sent it back." Mrs. Dickerson explained, "Marquise is not Sydnee's type. We don't like him neither, so we arranged a blind date for her today. However... never mind." After a while, Eliot said, "Let me know if Marquise comes to you. I'll fix this."

Mrs. Dickerson looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Are you going to fight with him?"

"No." Eliot smiled.

The dishes were all served. They had a peaceful meal. Sydnee was worried that any minute Eliot would suddenly say that he wanted to marry her. Fortunately, he did not say that in the end. Eliot paid the bill and they walked out of the restaurant. Eliot took Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson to the car and asked Sydnee, "Do you like someone?"

Sydnee had never experienced such a topic that only girlfriends would talk about when getting together. She did not have a girlfriend squad, so Eliot became the first person to ask her such a question. Sydnee was stunned by his question. She blushed, "What..."

Seeing her blushing face, Eliot took it for granted that she had liked someone. Then He asked curiously, "If you like someone, why did you go out on a blind date?"

Only then did Sydnee realize that he was asking seriously. She answered, still blushing, "No."

Eliot pointed at her face and said, "Then why do you..."

Sydnee couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Eliot, haven't you been in a relationship before? You seem to know little about women. Don't you know that you should not ask a girl such a question face to face?" Eliot was speechless.

He had always thought that Sydnee was a gentle lady, but he didn't know that she could be so glib.

Sydnee quickly got into the car since Eliot didn't say anything.

Emma asked, lying in bed, "Doctor Mueller, can I go home today?"

After Collin adjusted the speed of the drip for her, he glanced at her and said, "If you don't feel comfortable here, you can stay with me upstairs."

Emma felt helpless, "I want to go home. It's getting cold and the flowers need watering."

Collin packed up his medical supplies and put them into the box. "You need to rest for a few days. The poison wasn't completely cleared at that time and there's probably still some left in your body. It seems to be effective after days of treatment. You should be fine in a few days."

Emma didn't say anything.

Collin glanced at her and asked, "Why are you afraid?"

Emma looked at him. "Why did you keep me here?"

Collin calmly looked at her. His gaze was pure and there was always a gentle smile in his eyes. At this moment, he was calm and stable, and he was looking at Emma with goodwill.

Emma had been already suspicious before, and now, she was even more confirmed. She seemed a bit astonished. Impossible. How would he know?

As they were looking at each other, Jaquan came in. He was in a rather good mood, because he had sent his parents food. Clearly he had got some praises and come back with satisfaction.

However, as soon as he entered, he discovered that Collin was also there. Collin knew the password for his room. Jaquan thought about changing the password later. When he entered the guest room, he felt something a bit strange.

He looked at Collin, then looked at Emma on the bed and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Why are you guys ... something wrong?"

Collin picked up his toolbox and said, "Nothing. I'm leaving."

Jaquan took a look at Collin, then looked at Emma who suddenly looked down and fell silent on the bed. He asked in surprise, "Oh my god, did he confess love to you?!" Emma, "..."

She looked up and said, "Mr. Jaquan, I have a child already."

"That's right! He likes to replace a woman with children! He said that would save a lot for him."

"But don't believe him," Jaquan said seriously as he looked at Emma. "It's not easy to be a part of his family. Don't take seriously whatever he says about marrying you." Emma sighed, "I'm married and I have children. I won't remarry."

"Is that so?" Jaquan looked at her suspiciously, "What's your husband's name?"

"Michael."

Jaquan was silent for a moment and asked, "Did you just make that up?"

Emma was surprised, "You are smart."

Jaquan said, "Alright, you don't have to tell me. Anyway, just remember that you have a husband. Don't get too close to Collin."

Emma nodded, "Alright."

"You seem rather bored lying here, don't you?" Jaquan asked, "Do you want to watch TV in the living room?"

Emma did not answer. She looked at the bag of liquid medicine beside her.

Jaquan walked over to pick her up, holding the bag of liquid medicine with his finger, and walked towards the sofa. They were once again so close. Both of them felt a bit strange, but they didn't say anything. Jaquan put her down on the sofa and handed her the remote control, "Here you are."

Emma turned on the TV and a classic drama was on it.

She quickly changed the channel, Tom and Jerry, Peppa Pig...

Jaquan got a glass of water and looked at the TV. "I found these cartoon for Little Stone these days. He seems to like Tom and Jerry."

Emma returned to Tom and Jerry and watched quietly.

Jaquan was amused by the stupid cat, but Emma stayed unmoved. Jaquan glanced at her and moved closer to her. He picked up an orange on the table and asked, "Do you want one?"

Emma reached out to get it. Their fingertips touched, and hers were very cold.

Jaquan then realized that the heating in the living room had just been on, and it seemed to be a little cold. He fetched a blanket, draped it over her body, and then sat beside her.

They watched TV in silence. Occasionally, he would peel an orange and gave her a segment. No words.

It was peaceful.

When Little Stone returned from reading in the study, he saw this scene. He quietly looked at the back of them and then looked at Jaquan's handsome face. He thought to himself, "If only mom liked Mr. Jaquan."D
