Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 1004 Tranquility (3)

Collin took a breath and suppressed the sudden restlessness from the bottom of his heart.

Being still awake at one o'clock in the morning, he ran on the treadmill for another half an hour. Sport kept him excited. After taking a shower, he lay down and still couldn't fall asleep. Later, he took his phone to the bathroom, opened the photo album, and stared at the picture in which Roxy had her back to him...

Half an hour later, he took another shower. It was already three in the morning. Instead of turning on the gentle music, he buried his face in the pillow and breathed in the faint smell that Roxy had left.

It had been almost three months. No matter what the smell was, it had faded.

But his longing for her grew deeper and deeper.

Emily stayed in City Y that night. After visiting Emma and Janessa, she returned to the Britt's with Vincent.

The butler was so excited that he wanted to ask Susan to come over and cook dinner for them, but Emily stopped him. She told him that they had done outside and asked him to go to bed early. She also said that they would only stay for one night and leave tomorrow, asking him not to bother.

"There's a watermelon. I just bought it today." The butler thought for a long time and said. He looked at Emily eagerly and asked, "Miss Emily, may I cut the watermelon for you?"

Emily nodded with a smile.

The floor lamps in the courtyard lit up one by one. Emily and Vincent stood on the balcony on the second floor and looked at the flickering lights in the garden. They were like fireflies in the night. Emily held half of the watermelon and had a spoonful for herself. Then, she gave another spoonful to Vincent.

They stood there quietly, sharing half of the watermelon. The atmosphere was peaceful and tranquil.

After eating the watermelon, Emily went to wash her hands. "I don't like it here." She said when she came back. Looking at Vincent, she continued, "But every time I come here, I feel extremely calm." Vincent sat at the desk that Emily used to sit at and looked at her, "Do you want to paint?"

He had already taken out some of the blank sheets of paper that she had left here.

Emily walked over and sat on his lap naturally, then picked up the brush.

She drew a hospital, a corridor with people coming and going, the ward, and an infant's tiny feet. The painting was so detailed that she couldn't finish it in one night. "Vincent, I'm sleepy," she said as she rubbed her eyes.

"Let's go to sleep." Vincent brought her into the bathroom and helped her take a bath since the little girl was too sleepy to open her eyes. Then, he carried her to bed.

Emily nestled into his arms habitually. She nudged his neck like a small pet and murmured, "Goodnight."

Vincent lowered his head and kissed her face, "Goodnight."

Although the butler didn't inform Susan, he informed Eliot. When Emily came down from upstairs the next day, she saw Eliot and Sydnee in the living room.

Eliot's feet were able to move freely but it was not due to a complete recovery. It was because Trevor had given him a set of mechanical parts to wear at his feet covered by trousers. In this way, it was impossible to tell that his leg was lame.

Eliot wanted to talk to Emily about Beverly. Sydnee hurriedly took the rent to settle after she heard that Emily had come back.

Sydnee didn't know about Beverly. Since Eliot didn't intend to tell her, he couldn't mention Beverly in her presence. He could only wait until they finished talking about the old days and settling the rent. Then, he brought Emily into the break room.

"I didn't tell you about my mother. I bailed her out." Eliot felt guilty when he mentioned this. "I didn't know she would cause trouble in your school. I heard from Sydnee that you dropped out of school. Was it because of my mother?"

Looking at him, Emily shook her head.

"Then why did you suddenly...?" Eliot asked.

"It was not a sudden decision. I just realized that I wanted to learn something different," Emily said.

"What's different?" Eliot asked.

Emily looked at Eliot and answered, "Eliot, I have learned a lot of things now. There are a lot of things that you don't know. Then, I truly understand why I should keep learning. I want to broaden my horizons and learn what I'm interested in."

Her words were very convincing, but Eliot still frowned, "You are worried that my mother will replace trouble with you again and break your easy life, aren't you?"

Emily paused and turned back to look at him. "Eliot, just think of it as learning while relaxing. Would you feel better if you think this way?"

Eliot understood her acquiescence.

He suddenly felt very uneasy, so he took a step forward and held Emily in his arms. Patting her back, he apologized, "I'm sorry..."

He was caught between his mother and his sister.

It was really painful.

Emily certainly wouldn't force him to make such a painful choice.

"Vincent and I were going to travel around the world." Emily pinched Eliot's face. "Give me a smile and wish us a happy journey." She said.

Eliot hugged her tightly and said, "Have a good journey."
