Chapter 172 Happy to See Them Together

“So, from now on, stop spouting nonsense in front of me. Say it once, and I’ll kiss you once. Say it twice, and I’ll … ”
Before he could finish his blunt and embarrassing words, Charmaine cut him off. “I got it; I won’t say it anymore.”
Emyr snorted. “I am keeping a close eye on you.”
Charmaine felt her scalp tingle as he stared at her directly.
She dared not look around or speak. Her scalp had turned numb.
She was afraid that any wrong move would trigger Satan to press her against the wall and kiss her again.
That feeling of having
a swollen head and weak legs was just too scary.
At this moment, to Cine’s
rescue, Sylvia came up to call them for dinner.
Emyr looked at her shy and embarassed demeanor. His lips curved deeper.
In the restaurant, the table was filled with various food. The moment she saw them, she knew they were all Emyr’s favorites. It seemed like the couple really doted on him very much.
Tad too had taken a seat at the table under Sylvia’s warm invitation.
He rarely sat at the same table as Emyr, so he appeared more reserved, stiff, and awkward.
Meanwhile, Charmaine, who was usually bold and reckless, was also behaving prim and proper like Tad.
Sylvia exchanged glances with her husband. She gestured at Charmaine. “Come, dig in. Please help yourself to anything you like. Don’t be shy.”
“Don’t worry about her. She is already an adult and is capable of feeding herself.”
Charmaine choked. She glanced at Emyr resentfully before expressing her gratitude to Sylvia, “Thank you, Mrs. Nelson.”
Sylvia looked at Charmaine, her eyes full of affection. “You can call me Aunty Sylvia like how Emyr does. Tad used to call me that when he was younger.”
Tad, at the mention of his name, straightened his back and nodded. “Yeah, that’s right.”
“Thank you, Aunty Sylvia.”
“Don’t mention it, Dear. Please, make yourself comfortable.”
“It’s been a long day for you, Aunty Sylvia. Have some for yourself too!”
With the back and forth serving of food, Charmaine’s stomach filled quickly. She even hiccuped a few times.
People at Sunnyshore had their own customs and practices to commemorate death anniversaries. In the afternoon, a few people gathered in the pavilion of the garden, preparing the items needed for grave visits.

Meanwhile, Emyr sat alone in his wheelchair, quietly folding some paper.
It was Charmaine’s first time visiting a grave. She was observing Emyr’s fingers work the purple paper, turning it into origami purple lilacs.
She watched him closely for a while, then retreated to a corner, still trying to decipher his swift movements, but even after two attempts, she couldn’t replicate the folds.
Though he didn’t turn, Emyr seemed to sense her hesitation. He slowed his pace to allow her to catch up.
