Chapter 191 Inappropriate for Me to Go Although she felt that it was strange, Emily did not think too much about it. She thought that it was probably because the kids were so adorable. Lucas played with the two little ones for a while and was called by Emily to treat him. After the acupuncture, it was already late. Even though Lucas was reluctant to leave, he still took the initiative to suggest leaving âIâll go back first. Sofia, Ethan, goodbye.â
âLucas, wait a minute.â
Sofia and Ethan hurriedly called out to him. Lucas and Emily looked over in confusion. âWhatâs wrong?â
Lucas asked.
Unexpectedly, Ethan and Sofia mysteriously pulled him to the bedroom. Looking at the disappearing figures of the three, Emily didnât know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that the three of them had a small secret behind her back. In the room, Lucas was also stunned. Just as he was in a daze, the two little ones pulled out a treasure chest from under the bed and took out biscuits and sweets from it. 4 âUncle, these are what we like to eat. Iâll give them to you.â
The two of them presented the food to Lucas as if they were presenting a treasure.
âUncle, donât tell Mommy about these things. Mommy says itâs bad for our teeth, so we secretly hid some. Itâs a gift for you in return for the ones you gave us.â Hearing this, and looking at the two little ones who were guilty, Lucas felt that they were extremely cute. He accepted the biscuits and sweets and solemnly said, âDonât worry. This is a small secret of the three of us. I will not tell your mommy.â âHehe, uncle is so nice.â The two little ones only hugged Lucas. The three of them chatted for a while more before walking out of the room. âWhat were you doing in the room?â asked Emily, her eyes full of curiosity. âMommy, this is a secret between us and Lucas. You donât have to ask,â
Said Sofia in a small voice.
Ethan also nodded in agreement.
âAlright, I wonât ask anymore.â Emily looked amused. As she spoke, she turned to look at Lucas and asked, âAre you leaving now?â âYes, Iâm going now.â Lucas nodded and left.
When he went downstairs, Mason was already waiting at the entrance of the community. He clearly saw the candy and biscuits in the hands of his president, as well as the joy that had never been there.
It seemed that suddenly having two kids didnât make him uncomfortable at all On the contrary, he even looked very happy! When he got home, Lucas went directly to the study room. He put the biscuits and candies that the two little ones gave him on the desk and looked at them quietly. He was reluctant to eat them.
This was the first time his son and daughter had given gifts to him. He wanted to save them to remember this day.
Just like that, he found a gift box, collected the biscuits and sweets, and then turned to wash up.
The next morning, Emily took care of the two little ones after breakfast and sent them to kindergarten.
When she came back, she received a call from Mr. Hawking.
âMs. Armstrong, why havenât you come to sell medicinal herbs recently?â âWell, I met some problems, the medicinal fields have been destroyed. There may not be any medicinal herbs for sale in the near future,â Emily said apologetically. However, when Mr.
Hawking heard her words, he immediately asked with concern, âWhatâs going on? Why is the medicine field destroyed? Is someone looking for trouble? Do you need my help?â âThank you for your kindness. The matter has been resolved. You donât have to worry.â Emily obviously did not want to say more. Mr. Hawking naturally heard it and did not ask any further. He changed the topic and said with a faint smile, âSpeaking of which, there is something I want to discuss with you.â For some reason, when he heard this, Emily felt a little uneasy. Could this Mr. Hawking still be thinking about ancient medicine? âLet me make it clear first. About ancient medicine, I only know a little bit and am still studying. I canât help you or teach you anything.â Emily felt that she had to take precautions first. This old man always asked her some questions that she couldnât really answer. When Mr. Hawking heard this on the other side of the line, he didnât know whether to laugh or cry, but he still said, âDonât worry, todayâs matter has nothing to do with medicine.â
Hearing this, Emily heaved a sigh of relief. âIn that case, what is it?â âItâs like this. Last time, didnât I ask you to modify a medicinal cuisine list? After my old friend took it for a period of time, he found that the effect was very good. It just so happens that his birthday is coming soon, so he wanted to invite you. Do you want to go?â Mr. Hawking was straightforward.
Emily was surprised but then hesitated. From the previous conversations with Mr. Hawking, she knew that Mr. Hawkingâs old friend had a high status. If a commoner like her went, she would seem unfit. âIâll pass. Iâm afraid that it would be inappropriate for me to go to such an occasion.â Emily declined.
Of course, Mr. Hawking also understood the meaning behind her words. He tried his best to invite, âDonât worry, I wonât make things difficult for you. My old friend just wants to know you. Just treat it as giving the old man face. Go.â Emily felt that it would not be good if she still insist on not going. In the end, she could only agree helplessly. No matter what, Mr. Hawking had taken care of her many times over the years.
