Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 202
Joy ran to say goodbye to Emily with the little Pekingese, and then ranto James and said, "Let's go."
James took a deep look at Emily and left with Joy without saying helloto her.
Emily sighed. She didn't expect to meet him in this city again. Howsmall the world was.
But it was good that he pretended not to know her. She didn't know ifthe girl named Joy was his girlfriend. She looked pretty. It would benice if she was. In that case, he would have found his own happiness.Emily held her stomach and walked home for a while, thinking that shewould never meet James again.
She didn't expect to see James standing in front of their house the nextday when she went out.
Mrs. Connery also came out and saw James. She said in surprise,"James, why are you here?"
"Hello, Mrs. Connery. I haven't seen you for a long time. You're still asyoung as before.” James smiled and complimented.
Mrs. Connery was very happy to hear this and said with a smile, "Youare better at talking than before after a long time. But when did youcome back? Your aunt was still talking about you a few days ago.”
“I haven't been back long either. I met Emily yesterday and found outthat she lives in your house. So..."
"You know Emily?" Mrs. Connery said in surprise.
James' face flashed with a hint of embarrassment and he looked atEmily affectionately.
Before Emily could react, Mrs. Connery looked as if she had understoodand said to James a little crossly, "James, I watched you grow up. Ithought you were quite honest, but I didn't expect that... Butfortunately, it's not too late. You two have a good chat. Admit yourmistakes if you should!"
"Thank you, Mrs. Connery." James said gratefully.
Emily looked confused, not knowing what had happened.
She did not come to herself until James pulled her out for a walk. Sheasked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't you ignore me yesterdaywhen you saw me? Why did you come here today?"
"I am the one that wants to ask. Didn't you go to replace that man? Whyare you renting this place?” James asked.
When he saw her yesterday, he thought her man was from thisneighborhood. He did not know that she was only a tenant at Mrs.Connery's house until he went home and heard it from his aunt.
Emily lowered her head and pursed her lips
James saw her like this and guessed the reason. "He didn't admit it?""He's engaged.” Emily smiled bitterly, "I knew he was engaged on theway back to replace him, so I didn't go back. The child was not stable atthat time, so I settled down here. Professor Connery and the others arevery nice to me. I'm not going to make plans until I give birth to thebaby."
"Are you going to raise the child alone?" James asked anxiously.
Emily said, "Actually, it's nothing. I've already made up my mind. I stillhave some money, which is enough to support us for a while. Besides, Ihaven't been wasting my time during my pregnancy. I've read a lot ofbooks on design. After the baby is born, I will work as a designer. Then Idon't have to work at the company. I can take care of the baby andwork at the same time."
"You have a good plan. But have you ever thought of sharing yourburden with someone else?" James muttered.
Emily was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously, "Who wantsto share with me? Who's happy to be a father all of a sudden?"
James was wordless.
He snorted angrily and stopped talking. He remained silent for the restof the time. After Emily took a walk, he sent her back.
As soon as Emily came home, Mrs. Connery rushed up to her andasked, "How was it? How was the conversation with James?"
Emily smiled and said, "Not bad! We haven't seen each other for a longtime. I didn't expect to meet him here.”
"Yes, this is fate. Emily, I don't know what happened between you twobefore. But I watched James grow up. He has been honest andresponsible since he was little. He's always been at the top of the class.Now he's a teacher in college and his parents are both researchers.They're all my old colleagues and I know them well. You will live ahappy life with him, not to mention that you two have had a baby."Emily was speechless.
"Professor Connery, you've misunderstood. James and I..."
"Well, I know. Young people have their own plans. Take your time." Mrs.Connery said with a smile.
Emily was embarrassed. She didn't expect Mrs. Connery tomisunderstand like this.
She thought that James only came to meet her once and would notcome again. She didn't expect that from then on, he came over everyday and even sent food and drinks.
Now Emily couldn't explain. If there was nothing between them, howcould James do this to her?
Not only Mrs. Connery but also the whole neighborhoodmisunderstood. James’ parents were both in LA, so his aunt came tovisit Emily several times and asked her to stay at her house as if shewere James' mate.
Emily was upset and asked James to explain. But James ignored her anddid as he pleased.
Emily had no choice. She couldn't leave even if she wanted to. The babywas growing bigger, and she had contacted the hospital before, so shedidn't dare to leave at all. She could only bear others’misunderstanding.
Two months later, Emily took another walk with James.
In fact, she was going to take a walk alone. It was James who insistedon following her.
As she walked, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, which made herfrown.
James immediately noticed it, quickly held her steady, and asked whatwas going on. Emily opened her mouth and the pain hit her again,which made her feel that her body was sinking.
"I think... I think I'm going to give birth.” Emily said in a trembling voice.James was shocked and quickly took out his cell phone to make anemergency call. He wanted to pick Emily up, but Emily's belly was so bigthat he couldn't carry her at all. He had to shout for help. Soon,someone came and helped her to the hospital with him
Three hours later, Emily was wheeled out of the operating room.
She had a natural birth, and a precipitate one.
On arriving at the hospital, she was directly sent to the operating room.Before she could have a check, her water broke and the baby couldn'twait to crawl out.
So Emily gave birth without much suffering. It was a boy, weighing 3.5kilograms.
Mrs. Connery and the others all came to the hospital to visit her whenthey got the news. They all praised the good looks of the baby. Just ashe was born, he was already extremely handsome.
James’ aunt was even more excited, insisting that the baby looked likeJames when he was young.
This time, she was even more convinced that the baby was James". Shecalled James' parents and asked them to come over to see theirgrandson. She was even more grateful to Emily for giving birth to achild of their family.
Emily was embarrassed. She had just seen the child. He looked likeFranklin and had nothing in common with James. However, she was tootired. Although she gave birth very quickly, she had been injected withpainkillers, which contained sleeping ingredients. So she quickly closedher eyes and fell asleep. As for who the child looked like, just let themguess!
