Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 77 Are You Scared?

Emily looked at him blankly, "What?"

He was so close to her that she couldn't even sense his breath. Under the dim light, the shadows of the two of them on the wall looked as if they were kissing. Emily had no time for that at all. She was wondering what the gift he mentioned with a frown was.

The man in front of him was kind of airing his grievances, "You sent a gift to Ferne, but you didn't send me one."

Emily finally remembered that Harold had bought a bottle of wine for Ferne, but that was not a gift from her.

Another thing came to her. It was Ferne and Jaquan who helped her sell her paintings and deal with the fake seeds of tea, respectively, but they both were good friends of Vincent. So it meant it actually was Vincent who helped her out.

So she did owe him a gift.

When Emily figured it out, she sat up at once and turned on the light, asking, "What kind of gift do you want?"

It was getting cold. She looked even fairer in her pink rabbit pajamas, as the two rabbit ears were hanging down beside her neck. Her cheeks were glowing while her pink lips were slightly curled up, which was so attractive.

Vincent was staring at her, and his pitch-black eyes were dim and unclear. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Massage my shoulders."

Emily got up from her bed after a hesitation. The man was so tall to her even when he was sitting at the edge of the bed. She could reach his shoulders, but she couldn't use her strength to do the massage. However, this was the first time for her to do such a thing. She laid her hands on his shoulders with a bit of her strength. The muscles under her fingers were quite hard and strong. It wasn't easy for her to do the massage. When she moved her fingers to the back of his neck, she could clearly replace the man tensing up. Leaning over slightly, she asked, "What's up?"

The soft arms of a girl were leaning on Vincent's shoulders while her breath was just near his ears. He could see her fair skin clearly as long as he tilted his head. Grabbing her arm, he stood up and pulled her into his arms.

Emily was surprised to replace out that she was about the same height as him when she stood on the bed. The coat the man was wearing was sort of wet, and the coldness even soaked her pajamas. So she felt a bit chill when being hugged by him and her mind was clearer.

Harold told her that Vincent had a meeting abroad, so he must have rushed here as soon as he returned from abroad.

She asked in a soft voice, "Have you eaten yet?"

The man muttered a yes as his response to her. However, it unexpectedly sounded a little alluring to Emily's ears.

"Are you sleepy?" She asked again.

The man let go of her. He took off his coat and cast a glance at Emily, "Are you scared?"

Emily shook her head.

He took off his shoes and lay on the bed. Emily moved a bit inside to leave him more space.

After a while, he reached out and held her in his arms. Resting his chin rested on her head, he said in his rough voice, "Have a sleep." Emily closed her eyes.

Vincent heard the even breath from the girl in his arms in a short while. Lowering his head, he couldn't help giving her a soft kiss, "My cruel girl."

When Emily woke up the next morning, Vincent had left.

Touching the ring on her finger, she was in a good mood with her lips curled up unconsciously.

Susan was getting her dressed. When she saw the look on Emily's face, she asked with a smile, "Miss Emily, what pleased you that much?"

Emily was stunned for a moment, "Do I look pleased?"

"You do." Susan pulled her to the mirror, saying, "You've been smiling."

The girl in the mirror looked fairer in the bright yellow trench coat. Her lips were curled up while her eyes were tender. Touching the mirror, Emily suddenly thought she should have said thank you to Vincent. Again, Maury and Eliot did not come back last night. Beverly and Elsie were watching TV in the sofa downstairs. Casting a glance at the TV, she found it was broadcasting the presidential election of the United States, and Obama won his second term of office.

Susan brought Emily the breakfast, "Miss Emily, hurry and have it while it's hot."

Emily sat there obediently and began to gulp. Elsie watched TV for a while, and then turned her gaze to Emily, saying, "Retard, where did you get that trench coat?"

Susan replied from the side, "Miss Elsie, Mr. Eliot bought it for Miss Emily."

Susan's words did remind Emily that most of her clothes were bought by Eliot, including her pink rabbit pajamas and her underwear.

Elsie gave a cold snort, "Did I ask you anything?"

The look on Susan's face changed. She went to the kitchen again and brought a cup of hot milk to Emily. Then, she was standing beside Emily in case Elsie would come and hurt Emily.

Emily went upstairs as usual after breakfast. She placed a piece of paper on the table and started to draw. Her phone on the table vibrated. It was a text message from Harold, saying Miss Elsie went out. Sure enough, it had only been half a month, but Elsie just couldn't wait.

Maury had clearly forbidden Beverly and her daughter from going out. The two of them did follow the words of him during this half month. But they started to hang around the house instead of just staying in their own rooms. They watched TV downstairs. And later, Elsie even did yoga in the garden sometimes.

Emily naturally knew that they would definitely go out, but she didn't know how they avoid the watch of the butler. Or did the butler stop watching them?

Emily texted back to Harold, 'Follow her'.

If she didn't guess wrong, Elsie must go out for meeting Christy. Besides, Noah would definitely seize the chance to accept the funding from Elsie as if he grudged doing that.

But where would Beverly get the sum of money for the funding?

As Emily was pondering with the pen in her hand, her phone rang again.

"Emily. Good news." Sydnee couldn't help but shout with excitement, "Jaquan brought back a carload of seeds for free. That was what Mr. Bennet made up to us. Besides, he also gave us half a million." Emily wrote down several numbers one after another, half a million, one million, one million and a half, and 1. 2 million. She said on the phone after drawing a circle, "Could you do one more thing for me?" "Just say it."

"Buy two apartments." Emily flipped through her previous notes and she didn't expect to get the funds so soon. "They should be in the downtown with good Fengshui. You can rent them out, but don't sell them."

Sydnee was speechless for a moment and then she asked secretly, "Where did you get the money?" Biting her finger, she added, "Wait a sec. You wouldn't think I could buy two apartments with that half million, would you?"

Drawing another circle, Emily said, "Will 4. 2 million be enough?"

п

Sydnee swallowed, "You got the money from Vincent?"

"I earned it myself." Emily was being a little guilty when saying so. After all, she guessed that there was an 80 percent chance that her paintings were bought by the friends of Vincent.

Sydnee seemed to be so surprised that she couldn't say a single word on the other side of the phone.

Emily put down her pen, saying, "Thank you for doing that for me. I'll let Harold transfer the money to you."

Looking at the numbers that had been circled, Emily felt a little annoyed after hanging up the phone. She did not know how to help Eliot. Should she replace someone to do business with him or directly give him the money? Emily couldn't make up her mind, since she couldn't expose herself, in case she would tip off the one behind Elsie.
