"I can only smell his hand cream on your right shoulder. Normally speaking, there should only be a faint scent on your shoulder if he stands face to face with you and pats your shoulder. However, the scent of his hand cream on your right shoulder is quite obvious. And I can also smell his perfume on your back. This only means that ... he has walked with you and put his arm around your shoulder for a while, perhaps from the entrance to the lawn?" Emily spoke while thing about it. She then stared at Sydnee and asked, "Did you run into Marquise at the entrance?"
Sydnee was dumbfounded.
Sydnee almost wanted knelt at Emily's feet. She said jokingly, "People say we should always look at others with new eyes. It has only been a month since I last saw you, and you've become so smart now! You can even work as a private detective."
"Don't you like my brother?" Emily asked, "He probably wanted to ask you to marry him last time." And if they had really got married, Marquise probably wouldn't have harassed Sydnee again.
Sydnee shook her head and said, "I don't want to get marry for now. After the thing happened between me and Marquise, I feel that all men were ... the same. Of course, Mr. Vincent was different. It was just ... How should I put it? It was just I haven't met anyone to whom I want to give him my whole life for the time being. And your brother doesn't really like me. If he asked me to marry him just because of that, then he would be overreacting. We're not living in the old days. I should just let it be."
Emily understood what Sydnee meant. She patted Sydnee's shoulder and said, "You will find a perfect man in the future, and he will definitely love you very much."
Sydnee smiled wryly, "Why is a girl like you saying those sophisticate things to me?"
Emily looked at the smile on Sydnee's face and suddenly remembered the withered woman she had met in the Tea Manor in her previous life. That woman's face was haggard and she had lost her hope of living. She was depressed as if she was on the verge of death.
"Sydnee, thank you." Emily said softly.
Thank you for being alive.
Sydnee thought that Emily was thanking her for bringing the gift. She waved her hand and said, "Don't say thank you to me. It's just a piece of cake."
Emily did not explain. She only smiled at Sydnee, turned around, and took the bag out. She wanted to deliver the gift to Vincent before Eliot took her home. She couldn't help but smile when she recalled how the guards had glared at her earlier.
However, as soon as she went out, she saw Eliot there. Eliot came here only because he saw Sydnee heading in this direction. He decided to wait and see if Emily was also here, and it turned out that he was right.
"What made you so happy?" He raised his head and saw nobody following Emily out, "Who did you meet inside?"
Emily shook her head.
Eliot didn't ask again. He brought her back to the banquet hall and said, "Follow me and don't run around." After he said that, he noticed that there was something in Emily's hand which looked very similar to what Sydnee was holding in her arms just now. He asked, "What is this?"
Emily regretted taking the gift out. She should have asked Sydnee to give it to Vincent for her. But Emily took it with her because she wanted to give it to Vincent by herself. But since Eliot had seen Sydnee just now, he would definitely remember what Sydnee was holding then.
"It belongs to Sister Sydnee." Emily put on a silly smile and said, "She asked me to take it for her."
Eliot nodded. As he turned around, he saw Elsie in the crowd. He immediately patted Emily's head and said, "Wait here. I'll go take Elsie here."
"Okay."
Just as Eliot went away, Emily immediately went to look for the hidden guard because she wanted to ask them to pass the gift to Vincent. Judging from Eliot's attitude, he would probably bring Elsie and her back home in a few minutes. She didn't have much time left.
