Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353 

That morning, Eason brought Emma to the NicholasResidence

He had informed his family in advance, so Judith and Penny were waiting at home

Upon seeing Eason and Emma arrive, a smile couldn’t help but spread across Judith’s face

It seemed Eason was finally settling down

She even felt like she could already envision a future surrounded by grandchildren

Emma, come, sit here,Judith warmly invited

Eason, aware of Emma’s fear of strangers, subtly intercepted Judith’s gaze and then led Emma to sit to the side

Judith, observing Eason’s carefulness, smiled even wider

She found joy in her son’s happiness. Seeing him content in his marriage brought her the greatest pleasure

Penny, this is the birthday gift I’ve prepared for you,Eason said, taking out a meticulously wrapped gift box

However, Penny didn’t reach out to take it

Suppressing her tumultuous emotions, she said softly. Eason, give it to me at my party tonight.” 

Eason felt a tinge of guilt but explained, Sorry, I’ve got an urgent business matter tonight and might not make it to your party. So, I’m giving you your gift now.” 

Penny’s hand tightened instantly

Penny thought, Business matter

Was it really a business matter?’ 

She looked at the silent Emma, resentment nearly spilling over

What was so special about Emma

In such a short time, she had ensnared Eason to the point where he was neglecting me

Penny’s heart was in turmoil, but she managed a strained smile, Come on, Eason, can’t you postpone it? I really want you 

there.” 

Eason softened a bit at Penny’s appearance but knew better that taking Emma out was one thing while taking her to a party was another

He thought to himself, With Emma’s current state, even a slightly larger crowd could frighten her

Not to mention, it’s quite a lively party.” 

Sorry, but this time, it’s a nogo,” Eason said, his mind made up

“I had been to Penny’s birthday bashes more times than I could count and knew there would be plenty more

But the situation with Emma was urgent

It’s a matter of life and death

I couldn’t risk Emma’s health just to attend Penny’s party

It just wasn’t in my principles.‘ 

Penny pursed her lips and turned to Emma, So, Emma, are you coming tonight?” 

Emma didn’t respond, but Eason quickly interjected, She’s tied up too.” 

Pain stabbed at Penny’s heart

It hadn’t been long, but Eason was already so protective of someone else.”

Penny couldn’t hold back. She asked with a forced smile, “What’s going on? I thought Emma worked for Susan’s company. But when I stopped by Storm Group recently, Emma was nowhere to be found. Susan mentioned she was on leave. So, what’s someone who’s not even coming to work so busy with?” 

Emma seemed disconnected, not really listening to the conversation

However, Eason frowned, looking at Penny, Emma’s just dealing with some stuff.” 

And what might that stuff be?Penny pressed, her tone aggressive

Eason blocked her view, replying, Penny, it’s her personal matter. You don’t need the details.” 

Eason was clearly getting annoyed

Penny bit her lip and said apologetically, Forget I mentioned it. It’s okay if you don’t want to come to my party. I get it, I’m just an outsider to you, with no family connections.” 

Penny lost control of her emotions, her words becoming harsher

Judith sensed the tension and quickly said, Penny, you know Eason well. He must have a real issue to miss this. How about I make him prepare some extra gifts for you? How does that sound?” 

It could be dozens of gifts, for all I care,Eason added

Penny thought, Gifts? Was that what I really wanted?’ 

But Penny realized she might have gone too far

She managed a weak smile, No need. I was being unreasonable earlier. You may go and take care of your stuff, Eason.” 

Penny’s reaction made Eason uncomfortable, but given Emma’s situation, he had no choice but to let Penny down this 

time

After sitting for a while, Eason left with Emma

At the doorway, there was a threshold

Eason helped Emma over it, gently reminding her to watch her step

He showed a level of care and gentleness as if he were handling something incredibly fragile and precious

Penny watched, barely containing the jealousy brewing in her heart

She’s burning with jealousy seeing Eason being all sweet to Emma

What’s wrong. Penny?Judith noticed Penny’s offcolor and couldn’t help but ask

It’s nothing.Penny forced a smile. I just think that Eason is being a bit too nice to Emma.” 

Judith laughed, That’s a good thing.” 

Penny said to Judith, Mom, think about it. It’s only been a few days and Emma’s already got Eason eating out of her hand. She walked in and didn’t even bother to talk to us. That’s her way of flaunting Eason’s affection, to intimidate us. Once she’s really in with the family, I bet she won’t show you any respect as her motherinlaw.” 

Judith didn’t see it that way. She casually said, Penny, are you overthinking? Emma is shy by nature. It’s understandable she doesn’t talk much. As for respect, I don’t live with them. As long as they’re happy, that’s all that matters.” 

Judith appeared blissfully ignorant. Penny bit her lip, unsure what to say

Penny, forget about your brother. The party tonight is almost ready. Do you want to check it out?Judith said excitedly

No, Mom, up to you.Penny managed another forced smile

Right now, her mind wasn’t on the party

All she wanted to know was how far Emma and Eason had progressed

The evening party was grand, and Judith put a lot of effort into it

But Penny’s heart wasn’t in it. Her gaze constantly drifted to the door. Seeing Susan arrive, she quickly went to greet her

Susan,Penny looked at Susan with eager eyes

Happy birthday, Susan said, smiling as she presented a gift
