Vol 3 Chapter 271: I'm here to declare victory

"Yes, I know it's a bit urgent, but I need it now, if you're unsure, I'll find someone right away." Kate said, hung up the phone, made a click, and she sucked heavily In two breaths, he squeezed his fingers again to calm down, apparently in a bad mood.
"Mom, what about my breakfast?" Lily asked as she poked her head out of the kitchen.
"Oh ... darling, sorry, I forgot." Kate hurriedly realized what she had left, and she hurried to the kitchen and started searching.
Although she did not fully move to Adrian's mansion, the villa that she lived in was originally in a state of semi-discontinued use, and she came here every month for two or three days, so things here They are not very complete, and there is only an ordinary maid in charge of plot work, so everything seems a little messy.
"Take care of it like this for the time being, dear, you know ..." After pouring a bowl of wheat dough and milk for her daughter, Kate said with an apologetic grin, "It will be fine in a few days, I promise. "
"Okay." Lily shrugged, neither complaining nor coquettish, as if the three days after leaving Dad's house were normal.
"By the way, Lily, I ... I'm going to see the house today, shall I let someone take you to school?" Kate said after looking at your daughter who had breakfast.
She didn't plan to stay here for too long. The villa was lived by Adrian and was later handed over to her. Everything here would make her ... very, very uncomfortable.
"Mom." The daughter sighed at this moment. "Did you forget it? I told you last night that today's school is temporarily closed and I don't need to go to school."
"Yes ... isn't it?" Kate was a little surprised, thinking about her head, and then grinning again. "Sorry, Lily, I think I forgot. After all these days my mother ... is messy."
As she covered her forehead and sighed, the word "sorry" was said too much, and it didn't feel good at all, and didn't know him ... Realizing that her thoughts were about to shift to Adrian again, Kate rubbed Rubbed his head.
"Let's do this," Lili, who looked at her mother, suddenly pushed the bowl in front of her, and put her arms together on the table to make a small adult. "Tell me something, why are you and your father arguing?"
"Lily?" Kate frowned.
"It's been three days since I left home, can you tell me what happened?" Lili mumbled her mouth and said, "Don't tell me anything, this is an adult thing. I'm 9 years old. Mom , It would hurt me to conceal the truth like this-just tell me, what's the matter, do I have a new aunt again? Or a new sister? "
Speaking of the last sentence, the corners of her mouth bent. The little face with a smile and curiosity seemed to find it very interesting. And Kate was a little embarrassed. After all, usually her daughter is a good-looking person in front of herself. When has she seen such a mature look? This is not to say that she doesn't care about Lily, it's just that the little boy's clever side is left to his father, but as a mother. Instinctively thinks that her child is obedient and perfect. Even if she sees those pranks she has done to her father, she will ignore it with the mentality of "this is to give her pride".
"No, it isn't," Kate, who returned to God, sighed and shook her head. "There is an irreconcilable contradiction between me and your father ... so ..."
"It's not possible. Mom." Lily narrowed her eyes and looked at her mother with her gaze. "For so many years, you should get used to whatever you have. What kind of things can you have? Reconciliation? "
Kate was a little speechless, and once again learned her daughter's maturity, pinching the bridge of her nose for a few seconds before she said, "No, Lily, forgive me for not telling you, believe me, this thing ... is not suitable for you . "
Just then, the villa's only servant came to the kitchen door: "Madam, there is a lady named Emma Watson outside, looking for you."
"Emma?" Kate showed a surprised expression, reacted for a while after he froze in the seat, and immediately got up and went out. She quickly came to the door, and after opening it, she saw that Emma was boring and counting her fingers outside.
"Hi Kate, good morning." The girl greeted her naturally. "I thought you had to wait a few minutes to open the door."
"I ... I didn't expect you to come here ..." Kate looked at her with a little confusion and stutter. "You should go back to Britain, don't you go to school?"
"I'm taking time off," Emma shrugged. "It happened, and of course I'll stay and see what happens."
Kate frowned, but before speaking, Lily ran out from behind happily: "Emma!"
She jumped up and gave Little Emma a big hug, and Little Emma also smiled and hugged Lily against her face, and Kate couldn't help frowning deeper in her eyes.
"I thought you were back in London. How was your family? Listening to Aunt Charlie, they said that Dad was very upset about her mother's departure, but Dad said nothing happened, and it will soon pass, but Mom just said that she had The irreconcilable contradiction, I really don't know what they are thinking about. "Lili asked non-stop, but she didn't realize that her mother's face was very unsightly.
"Lily ..." Kate coughed slightly, trying to say something, but Lily stepped back first and called in dissatisfaction: "Okay, mom, I'm also my father's daughter anyway, I can't You can't even make a phone call. If you want me to do this, please tell me the exact reason! "
Faced with her serious daughter, Kate couldn't help but have a headache. Fortunately, Emma came in and said, "Okay, Lily, let's go in. I have something to tell Kate."
"What's the matter? May I know?" Lily, who was pulling Emma into the room, asked as she walked, followed by a bright eye. "Is it a fight between mom and dad? Are you a lobbyist?"
"No. Lily, no," Emma said, smiling at Kate with a smile. "I can't get involved in this kind of thing. I came to Kate and wanted to have a woman-to-woman conversation with her."
"A conversation between a woman and a woman?" Lily blinked, looking at Emma and her mother, even if she was precocious, she would inevitably get confused.
And Emma Jr. looked up and stared at Kate with a gaze: "Are you free. Kate? It won't delay you too long."
Kate's gaze swam back and forth between her daughter and Emma, ​​and the look on her face was a little cloudy. After a long while, she said, "Well, let's go upstairs to the study."
"Why can't I be here?" Lily asked strangely, followed by another sentence: "Can I listen?"
"No, Lily." Kate and Emma Xiao said in unison, neat and uniform as before, and not only Lily opened her mouth wide. Even Kate and Emma Jr were a little surprised.
"Wow, shouldn't you make an appointment? I'm starting to get more and more curious." Lily hehe smiled and looked between mom and Emma.
"No, Lily, this is a conversation between me and Kate, you must not overhear," Emma Jr. wiped out her thoughts for the first time. And raised her hand to her, "This is important, Lily, so I hope you swear."
"So serious," the little man pouted. But she put her five fingers on her hand and said, "Well, I swear I will never overhear your conversation."
Then she sat down on the sofa in the living room, watching her mother and little Emma go upstairs together.
"Lily ... often eavesdropping on the conversation of an adult?" Kate asked tentatively as he walked.
"No, she just wants to care about what her parents think of her. I used to eavesdrop on Ed chatting with you or others, Lily is much more mature than you think, Kate." Emma Jr said lightly.
Kate rolled her eyes and didn't speak again. The two just came to the study. After closing the door and locking it, she asked in a pretentious tone: "What do you want to say, Emma? You are willing It ’s nothing to do with him? You love him, you do n’t want to leave him. You do n’t want to see me and him like this, so you want me to go back?

At this point, she chuckled softly: "He always does this, let others approach you to lobby you, and when you slowly relax the alert, he will just insert in and grab the softest piece in your heart The big public relations that made you stupid fell into his hands again. This is ridiculous, he didn't even have the courage to face me ... "
"Wait, Kate, wait," the little Emma sitting on the sofa raised her hand with a smile. "You seem to have made a mistake. I'm not here to tell you this. I'm here to- — "
With her legs raised, she sat upright again, holding her hands in front of her, and declared in a proud tone, "I'm here to announce my victory."
"Your ... victory?" Kate blinked, and it took several seconds to digest the sentence.
"Yes, my victory," the young girl nodded solemnly. "It's been almost a decade of competition, and I won. From now on, I'm the woman Ed loves and cares most!"
"Are you ... what are you talking about?" Kate frowned, not understanding.
Little Emma did not care at all, and said it herself: "From the moment I made up my mind, I knew that you were my biggest obstacle. Ed himself admitted that you were the first person he met after he was determined to cheer up. A beloved woman, you have a unique position in his heart. Unfortunately, I can only rank behind you, so even if I become his woman, the position in his heart will be behind you, I have always been right This is very uncomfortable. "
"Wait ... wait," Kate waved his hand unconsciously. "What the are you talking about, you ... you wanted to be Ed's woman long ago?"
"Remember?" Little Emma's smile deepened. "Did you, Ed and me say something while eating ice cream at the amusement park in London? Although I was only a little bigger then , But what I said that day, I still remember clearly! Do you know, Kate, when I need Ed's arms, need him to accompany me to sleep, need him to lie beside me, need him to coax me to tease me, but he You have to leave me because of one of your eyes or a word, and chat with you, do you know how uncomfortable I am? "
"I ... I ... you ... this is not the same!" Kate's thoughts were clearly confused.
"Even!" Little Emma whispered loudly. "I still have to use all means to get to Ed's bed, God, I don't have any face anymore, but he won't touch me, knowing that I threaten him, and he doesn't want me, I will go with enough men He had to compromise. I knew it was all because of you, because you were older than me. Because you watched me grow up, he had to take care of your feelings! "
She said so much, and jumped up from the sofa. She was very excited, and then slowly controlled her emotions.
"Although I have achieved my long-term goal, I know that this is not finished, as long as Ed and I haven't told you about him. I can't count him from you!" Although small Emma looked up at Kate, but gave a condescending feeling, "I have made a lot of preparations for this, including how you can show your tenderness if you get angry with Ed, if you and Ed cold war. How can I show my tolerance. But I did n’t even think about it in the end, because ... you surrendered! Yes, you did n’t do anything, just leave so neatly. It ’s ridiculous, you think you show Do you have your own attitude? You are surrendering to me. "
"How do you ... how can you ..." Kate made several meaningless gestures, forcibly pressed down his annoyed and confused mood, and then watched the girl in front of her breathing heavily, her expression changed several times, Then he bit his teeth and asked, "So. Come to me and declare that you have won."
"Yes, Ed has to think about your feelings, I don't have to," Emma Jr. didn't seem to care about her at all, "Of course, I have one more thing to tell you besides this. Kate, Now that a decision has been made, don't regret it, it will be good for everyone. "
"You!" Kate was finally angry, his hands clenched into fists.
At this moment, the knock on the door rang, and the noise kept ringing. Kate had to walk to the door after staring at the girl severely, and then saw Lily outside when she opened it. White.
"I didn't eavesdrop, Mom!" Lili quickly raised her hand and declared, "I came to knock because someone came."
"Hey, Kate, are you okay?" Charlize turned around and looked inside, while Emma Jr waved a hand.
"Ed is right. You don't want to stay here when you return to London, just for now." Charlize said calmly.
"Of course," Emma Jr smiled, and glanced at Kate again. "Ed knows me as well as I know him."
Upon hearing this, Kate, who had calmed down due to the appearance of her daughter and Charlize, suddenly felt restless, but unfortunately Lily was in front of her, and even if there was fire, she could only glared at her.
Emma Jr. was still indifferent, Shi Shiran stepped out, patted Charlize's arm, and then raised Lily with interest: "Charlie and your mother must have something to say, we Go down first. "
Lili apparently saw something, nodded her cleverly, and went downstairs with Emma.
"Are you all right?" After their back disappeared, Charlize looked at Kate again. She was wearing a formal dress and her hair was short and she looked very capable.
"Does it look terrible to me?" As soon as her daughter and Emma Jr. left, Kate leaned against the door frame and reached out to cover her forehead.
"Much better now," Charlize looked at her carefully. "When you opened the door just now, it was ugly as if to punch someone."
Kate sighed, didn't speak for a long time, and Charlize didn't speak, just watching her so quietly.
"Aren't you going to the company today?" She asked weakly after a while.
"I asked for leave, and the chairman of the company approved it personally." Charlize made a small joke.
Kate ripped the corner of her mouth, smiled, and then thought of something straight up and looked at the stairs: "She won't ..."
"No," Charlize knew what she was talking about. "Emma isn't an insignificant person. Even if she is targeting you now, she will also consider how Ed feels. Lily is Ed's daughter after all."
Hearing this, Kate gave a whine involuntarily, and her body twitched slightly. Charlize finally reached out and held her in her arms ~ EbookFREE.me ~ holding tightly.
"I know you're upset and confused, Kate, it's okay, so Sarah and Ini and I haven't called you for the past three days. We hope you take some time to calm down and we also order Ed to make details Explain, just ... I didn't expect Emma to come to you. "Charlize patted her back and kissed her cheek gently." There are always some unexpected changes. "
"Oh no, Charlie, I never expected that this would happen," Kate, who was buried on Charlize's shoulder, choked a bit. "I thought it was Ed's problem. I didn't expect Emma ... this I Looking at the girl who grew up ... Oh god, what the is going on ... "
"Yes, I was shocked when I first knew it. I don't know why Ed wanted to ..." Charlize sighed, and looked at the nobody's study with a complex look. "Fortunately, I and Ai Ma is not as close as you, so after calming down, she can barely look at the problem from an objective point of view. I have to admit that Emma is indeed a smart, stubborn and restless girl, especially after talking to her alone After a few times, these three points were very obvious, so ... I know she can really do something ... "
"What should I do?" Kate looked up and looked at Charlize with her begging eyes, as if she wanted some encouragement and support from her. . . )
