Emily gave a cold look and shook her head, "I don't get it."
Back in the day, everything about Noreen was handled by Gina, and Elliott was kept in the dark. She never held it against him. They've been tight since they were kids. That's why she was willing to sell the old house to help him buy a new one. Even when Gina used the money she got from selling her out to redo his place, she never complained.
But now, she suddenly felt disappointed in him.
Elliott quickly tried to smooth things over, "Emily, you got it all wrong. I never said anything about you getting involved with Mr. James! You're my sis. I'd never use you like that. I was just worried because you seemed a bit frosty towards Mr. James. He's been good to me, so we should show some gratitude, right?"
Emily's expression softened a bit. She nodded, "I know what to do."
"I wouldn't be where I am today without your help. I know that." Elliott lowered his head.
"Nah, you're overthinking it. I haven't had any connection with Charlie for the past two years. And you're just an employee in one of his subsidiaries. He probably doesn't even recognize you. Your superiors value you because of your performance, not because of me. Trust yourself. You don't owe anyone anything." Emily said.
Elliott beamed, "Emily, thank you! After you graduate, come back home with Kya. Move in with us. Let's be together forever."
Emily thought about her mother's attitude earlier and smiled faintly, "We'll see!"
Elliott nodded, "Go ahead, don't keep Mr. James waiting!"
"Alright, I'm off!" Emily waved and headed towards the elevator.
As she waited for the elevator, Elliott said, "Bring Kya when you get the chance! I haven't met her yet."
"She's been wanting to meet you guys." Emily's eyes sparkled with a tender smile as she mentioned Kya.
"I'm curious about her too. I wonder if she looked like you when you were young."
"You still remember what I looked like when I was little?"
Gina's eyes widened, "I'm doing this all for you! You and Bonnie are getting married soon. The Ferber family is coming over in a few days to check out the house. If they see Emily and a kid living here, they'll definitely have something to say!"
Elliott said, "Bonnie wouldn't mind Emily."
"Bonnie is a good girl, but what about her family?" Gina sighed, "You two are finally getting married. I'm afraid something might go wrong!"
Elliott slumped onto the couch, "I feel like I've let Emily down. She had a baby abroad, and raised her all by herself. Who knows what she's been through? Mr. James treats her well, but there's a huge gap between our families."
Gina said, "I think it's unlikely too. Emily never told us how she got pregnant or why she kept the baby. A family like the James's would never let Mr. James marry her."
Elliott said with worry, "What's gonna happen to Emily?"
Gina sighed too. As a mother, she had to choose between her son and daughter. She chose her son, leaving only guilt for her daughter.
