“Are you coming back tonight?”
After thinking about it, she felt that this tone was like that she had been abandoned by him, which was not suitable, so she deleted and edited another one.
“Are you busy?”
Before sending it out, she didn't forget to add her name, Emma.
Putting down the phone, Emma was a little nervous. She didn’t know whether she was worried that he would not reply to her or worried that he didn't see it? She was not sure about it herself.
Soon, a text message came.
Emma grabbed the phone from the coffee table. It was indeed Sean's text message.
The content of the text message was only two simple words, “What’s matter?”
Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, she got into trouble again.
She wanted to ask him if he was really going to get married or if he was really busy with the wedding and didn’t have time to worry about her. But after editing the content several times, she still felt that it was inappropriate. So she was suddenly upset and irritated.
Finally, without even thinking about it, she edited a text message and sent it out.
The content was, “I can’t send text messages to you if I have no matters, Uncle?”
She deliberately added the word-uncle, with a bit of resentment. She blamed him for telling Flora that she was his distant relative.
But after sending it, she regretted it. Who was she to Sean? She had no rights to question him, right? Why was she angry? Whether he got married or not had anything with her? Why did she have to go around him?
Emma felt so complicated. She picked up the phone and then put down the phone again. After she picked up and put down the phone so many times, five minutes passed. There was no message coming in.
After half an hour passed, there was still no message.
Sure enough, Sean didn't reply to her...
Sean had a meeting until 4:30 in the afternoon. Finally, he walked out of the meeting room.
His assistant, Pauline, dressed in an OL suit. She quickly followed his footsteps and whispered beside him on his next itinerary and schedule.
Sean took his cell phone out and had a look. When he saw the word Uncle, he seemed to be smiling.
Pauline saw it, and stopped reporting. She asked, "Mr. Knight, do you have other arrangements?"
Sean put away his mobile phone, and looked back at Pauline, "No, go on..."
"Okay, the next schedule is 8:20 in the evening. There will be a dinner with the people from Urban Construction Department. At 11 o'clock..."
Pauline's voice disappeared in the elevator. The elevator was moving up quickly.
...
Emma slept with her mobile phone.
When she woke up, Flora was already in the kitchen and preparing dinner. Nunu also slept on the carpet under the coffee table.
The first thing she opened her eyes was to look at the phone.
The screen was clean. Sean didn't reply to her text messages at all.
Putting the phone aside, Emma got up from the sofa.
Flora just came out of the kitchen and asked with a smile, "Are you awake? I just saw you fall asleep, so I didn't wake you up. I didn’t know what you would like for dinner, so I just cooked some fresh vegetable noodles."
