Secretly Married to a Wealthy Husband-Chapter 582 - : Zachary Stuart’s Meeting Gift
Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Zachary Stuart’s Meeting Gift
All this time, Bella Stuart has been calling her by her full name, she didn’t expect that changing how she addressed her would feel so odd.
“That’s more like it!” Vivian Ferguson laughed, then turned to Emily Walker, “Emily, why don’t you try calling me that too?”
Having another daughter, she was quite looking forward to hearing the word ‘Mom’ from her!
Upon hearing this, the smile at the corner of Emily Walker’s mouth abruptly froze.
On the other side, Vivian Ferguson was still waiting for her to speak.
Licking her lower lip, Emily Walker slowly called out, “Mom…”
“Hey! Good!”
At the dining table, a wave of laughter and pleasant conversation immediately followed.
However, Baron Stuart had no smile on his face.
“Ahem, ahem.” A faint cough sounded distinctly loud, clearly, it was a deliberate cough meant to be heard by certain people!
His face, stern as always, upon his cough, the three women immediately stopped laughing, turned their heads and stared at Baron Stuart in shock.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Bella Stuart looked at him with a curious expression, with her innocent big eyes blinking.
Baron Stuart was taken aback, and there was a hint of embarrassment as he licked his lips.
At his side, Vivian Ferguson, as if understanding something, turned her head to Emily Walker and smiled, then she gestured with her eyes and mouthed: Call him grandpa.
Emily heard this and paused again, she turned her head to look at a stern-faced Baron Stuart.
After today, she realized that on one hand, this old man could be so intimidating as to be frightening, but on the other hand, he seemed to have a heart as warm as a child.
“Grandpa…”
Baron Stuart, who had been somewhat embarrassed, got surprised as Emily’s “Grandpa” sounded more direct and hearty than her previous adress to Vivian Ferguson.
He’s no stranger to being called Grandpa, as he had been called so by his grandchildren Bella and Zachary Stuart for decades.
However, when Emily called him that, he was at a loss for how to respond.
After a while, he suddenly remembered how grandfathers on TV give their daughters-in-law red envelopes.
“Albert.”
“Master.” The housekeeper, Albert Goldie, came over.
“Go to my study…” Then, Baron Stuart was seen whispering something in Albert Goldie’s ears, no one else knew what he was saying.
A few minutes later, Albert Goldie came down from upstairs, handing a card to Emily Walker, “Buy more clothes to wear.”
With a simple sentence, Baron Stuart picked up his chopsticks and started eating again.
Emily, stunned, looked at the scenerey card in front of her, still uncomprehending.
So, was he meaning to give this card to her?
Thinking about this, Emily quickly picked up the card and was about to return it to Baron Stuart.
However, before she could say a word, Baron Stuart had already raised his hand to interrupt her, “The things I give away, generally don’t come back. You can either keep it, or throw it away later.”
“…” Emily Walker was speechless.
Their temperaments really are similar to Zachary Stuart’s…
Having no choice, Emily Walker didn’t say anything else and obediently put the card away.
To keep rejecting the card could make others think she was being coy, so it was better to accept it graciously.
“Ahem!” Emily had just accepted the gold card, and everyone was ready to continue eating.
But to their surprise, Zachary Stuart also started coughing.
Emily was now puzzled.
Baron Stuart coughed to have her call him grandpa, what was he doing this for?
“What’s the matter with you?” She stared at him, asking in confusion.
