Chapter 168

Funnily enough, Diego remained lost in his own world even at this moment, and he merely consideredthings by assuming they were what they were in his mind.

I asked, "How old are you?"

"I'm just three years older than your man."

I pursed my lips and asked, "So you've hit your thirties?"

He revealed a slightly awkward expression as he asked, "Is that considered old?"

"Guess how old Emma is," I mentioned.

He considered it for a moment before guessing, "Twenty?"

"Even if Emma's twenty, she's still ten years younger than you! You're robbing the cradle! Besides, I'msure you wouldn't bear to toy with the feelings of such a young girl, right? If you're after a seriousrelationship, once you get to the stage of meeting her family members, do you think her parents wouldapprove of this relationship? Surely, they wouldn't want a son-in-law who's so old?!"

Diego reached out and touched his nose awkwardly. "I'm just kind of curious about her and have agood impression of her. Why are you mentioning all that…"

"Besides, Emma looks like she's only fifteen!"

At that point, Diego asked me with a shocked look, "Is she that young?"

I shook my head and explained, "No, it's just a figure of speech. She's underage though. She'll turneighteen next year."

Just then, Diego lamented, "She's so young."

Subsequently, I didn't bother to respond to him. Suddenly, Diego behaved childishly, and he grabbedthe phone from my hand and ran out of the house. I ran after him to replace that he was standing in thesnow dressed in just a pink shirt as he tapped on my phone with his head lowered.

I heaved a sigh and muttered under my breath, "Here's another infatuated person."

In fact, after paying close attention over time, I realized that something irrevocable must havehappened between Christopher and Emma, because otherwise, Christopher wouldn't have continuedto pursue Emma relentlessly without regard to his image, despite Emma's claim that it was just a smallmatter and that she didn't care about it.

I didn't try to probe the matter and figure out the exact situation. I also stopped myself from probing. Imerely hoped that every person who entered my life would have a good life and that they would obtainthe relationship that they were after.

In less than two minutes, Diego came back into the house and flung my phone at me. He seemed to bein quite a bad mood. I caught the phone in my hand and clicked into Whatsapp. I then saw themessage that he had sent Emma, "Would you like to come to Finland for a visit?"

Emma responded, "Sure, I'll contact you then."

Subsequently, Diego replied, "Diego's here in Finland too."

“Yeah, I know that. He called me last night. That man is quite annoying. I told him last night that I wasgoing to bed, but he kept the conversation going endlessly and he behaved as if I were his girlfriend!My brother saw me on the phone on the balcony, and he purposely came over to ask me whether I wasdating someone at the moment. Oh my gosh! Even if I was in a relationship, I wouldn't go out with aman his age! I would replace a guy around my age!"

As soon as I read Emma's messages, I couldn't help bursting out laughing, and I teased Diego, "Shethinks that you're old too."

Emma seemed to be quite mindful of their age gap. She had always kept her distance fromChristopher, and she had even addressed him repeatedly as Uncle Christopher.

I was shocked when I heard her address him as Uncle Christopher. After all, he was a soft-spoken manthat I had idolized during my teenage years, and suddenly replaceing out that he was addressed as Uncleby a seventeen-year-old girl was quite shocking. I felt as if I must have been imagining things at thatpoint.

Meanwhile, Diego rolled his eyes and threatened me, "I was originally going to tell you more aboutShawn, but I don't think that you're interested in replaceing out, huh?"

As soon as I heard that, I gave in, "Alright, I'm sorry."

Diego was actually quite upset, and he didn't even want to talk to me about Shawn's past at themoment. He remained on the couch as he sulked there for quite some time.

Finally, noontime arrived, and I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. He also had some of the lunch Iprepared, and then he left the house without a second glance backward.

Did he just come here for some lunch?!

It was nearly nine o'clock at night when Shawn texted me. "Did Diego bring you out to sightsee today?"

Well, Diego did come over… But then he left quite dejectedly.

I replied, "He came over, but Emma hurt his feelings, so he left after that. I stayed at home andwatched some TV shows to kill time."

After quite a while, Shawn responded, "Emma?"

Shawn must have wanted to ask how Emma managed to hurt Diego's feelings.

I sent him the rolling on the floor laughing emoji and replied, "Diego took my cell phone to text Emmaand Emma thought that it was me on the other end, so she complained to me about how Diegodisrupted her sleep last night. She also mentioned that he was an aged guy."

I wasn't being gleeful at Diego's suffering, but I just found the entire situation quite funny.

Previously, I had mentioned that he was robbing the cradle and he didn't seem to care then, butafterward, Emma had mentioned the same thing and embarrassed him.

Shawn seemed to be quite busy, so it took him quite a while to reply, "Diego replaces her interesting, sothat's why he's curious about her."

Once a man started to develop some curiosity for a woman, it wouldn't be too long before he fell in lovewith her. Diego was quite likely to fall for Emma.

I responded, "Emma's quite an intelligent girl."

After that, Shawn no longer replied to my message, but soon after that, I received a text message fromDiego, "Let's go and fetch the little girl together tomorrow."

I grabbed the opportunity to ask, "How about Shawn's past?"

"I'll tell you everything along the way tomorrow."

Both of us actually had something that each of us was interested in replaceing out. I put down my cellphone and went to bed after that. The next morning, I woke up to replace that Diego had already arrived atthe mansion.

I came downstairs dressed in my pajamas and was surprised to see him. I asked, "Why are you hereso early in the morning?"

Diego was no longer dressed in that flashy pink shirt from yesterday. Instead, he had put on a whiteshirt paired with a smart suit today.

"Am I early? Emma just boarded her flight."

So it would be just right for us to depart for the airport right now.

I went upstairs to put on some light makeup, and then I changed into a white sweater before donningsome nude leggings paired with a pair of long boots.
