Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Let Me Take A Look at the Mandarin Duck Stone
Hearing her words, Emily Walker’s emotions were all tangled up. Was all this just a coincidence or something more?
…
Upon returning to the villa, Emily Walker seemed somewhat out of it. Emma Hudson’s words kept replaying over and over in her head, to the point where she didn’t even hear Bella Stuart calling her.
“Emily?” At the dining table, Bella Stuart held chopsticks to her lips and curiously watched the distracted Emily.
What happened to her? She’s been spacing out since she came back!
Baron Stuart, sitting on the side, heard Bella’s words and couldn’t help but lift his head. A frown made a brief appearance on his stern face as he too noticed Emily’s unusual demeanor.
“Emily!” seeing her entirely lost in her thoughts, Bella Stuart irresistibly raised her voice and called out loud!
Only then did Emily Walker snap out of it, looking somewhat surprised at Bella in front of her, “Wha…what’s up?”
Bella Stuart paused, then leaned in and said, “Shouldn’t we be the ones asking you that question? You’ve been acting really strange today!”
Hearing that, Emily Walker looked a little stunned, then turned to look at Baron Stuart, realizing for the first time that they were both staring at her.
Her behavior had Baron Stuart concerned; he put down his chopsticks to look at her, “What happened?”
In the afternoon, she heard that she had soiled someone else’s clothes. Could it be that she was bullied and scared?
Emily, hearing this, looked at him. She was not yet ready to announce the secrets of her past to the world.
“Nothing, it’s just…” her voice trailed off, and Emily’s gaze fell on the mandarin duck pendant revealed by Baron Stuart’s neckline.
Seeing her fall silent, and lost in thought, made Baron Stuart even more concerned.
“What actually is…”
“Baron Stuart,” before he could finish, Emily suddenly interrupted, her gaze fixated on the mandarin duck stone at his neckline, “that pendant, can you give it back to me?”
“…” For a moment, Baron Stuart was dumbfounded.
Once he gathered his thoughts, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Emily with some apprehension, “Why should I return it to you?”
This woman, could it be that her zoning out was because she was trying to take back this object?
No one knows, but this object was the most precious thing that Baron Stuart had in his life. He himself didn’t even understand why he cherished it so dearly.
In any case, there’s no way he was going to give it back to her.
Heaven knows he doesn’t even want to take it off while taking a bath.
Seeing his guarded expression, Emily stopped in surprise.
Why was this man being so defensive? That was technically her item, wasn’t it?
“I…I just want to look at it,” said Emily, reaching out her hand, “Give it to me.”
Baron Stuart scowled slightly, seeming to think that the situation was not as he originally imagined.
Ever since the pendant was put around his neck, Emily never mentioned it again. Why did she suddenly want to see it now?
“What’s actually going on with you?” Ignoring her outstretched hand, Baron Stuart returned to his usual demeanor and looked at her calmly.
This woman, she must have something going on.
Emily paused for a moment but still didn’t say anything. She insisted on seeing the mandarin duck stone, “I just want to look at it. I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.”
It’s been a long time? Baron Stuart frowned slightly.
She was still touching the mandarin duck stone when she went to sleep last night; how could she have not seen it for a long time?
“Are you going to give it to me or not!?” Seeing his reluctance to comply, Emily frowned deeply, her patience running thin, and her voice becoming slightly louder.
Her reaction further solidified Baron Stuart’s suspicion that Emily had something on her mind that he was not aware of.
