Chapter 1361
Bonnie snickered, “Why? Of course, it’s because Mr. James has a thing for Emily! Heck, Kya may even be Emily and Mr. James’ kid”
“No way in hell!” Elliott denied it firmly.
Bonnie wasn’t really into that thought. She said in annoyance, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner about Emily and Mr. James?”
If she had known that earlier, she wouldn’t have canceled Kya’s flower girl gig. She would have been so proud along with all those people present, especially those from the James Group!
“Emily and Mr. James are indeed friends, but Kya has nothing to do with him. Kya was born abroad. Mr. James just played along to keep the peace. Don’t overthink it or spread rumors!” Elliott admonished.
Bonnie’s eyes flickered, and she mumbled an answer.
They had many more guests to toast, so they didn’t dwell on the topic and got back to work.
The banquet lasted till the afternoon. Kya was asleep in Charlie’s arms while Emily was seeing off quests with the Sullivans.
Wrapping Kya in his jacket, Charlie told Emily, “You do your thing, I’ll take Kya home to sleep.”
Emily felt really bad, “You’ve had a tough day!”
“Don’t mention it, or it’ll make me feel weird, Charlie gave her a glance.
Emily blushed, her earlobes pink under the sun.
The James Group folks stood afar talking to Elliott, but their eyes were actually on Charlie
Gina was also shocked to see the list. The gifts from Charlie and Estelle, Magdalen, and others were worth almost a hundred grand.
That list included some unfamiliar names. Manley, Jonathan, Josiah James, Carson Foster, and some others gave large gifts. Though they didn’t attend, it was clear that they were Emily’s friends.
“I want to give these to Emily,” Elliott proposed.
“Why would you do that?” Gina was puzzled.
“These are all Emily’s friends. If they need help in the future, Emily also needs to reciprocate. She can’t possibly afford such a huge amount. We should return this to her,” Elliott explained.
Gina hesitated, “Even though these people gave gifts because of Emily, those were gifted to you. It doesn’t seem right to give these back to Emily. She may not accept these either.”
