Emily ignored Ewan and Wendy, walking towards the hall.
“You can't disturb Hunter. He's really busy.” Wendy wanted to stop her.
“Mr. Jackson invited Milady over. It’s fine,” Ewan said.
“Alright!” Wendy replied indifferently and continued to ask, “Why did Hunter ask her to come?”
Ewan felt that this question was a bit strange. Hunter and Emily were engaged. Wasn't it normal for Hunter to invite Emily over?
Ewan was especially patient with Wendy.
“This is between Mr. Jackson and Miss Emily. I don't know.”
Wendy didn't say anything else. She probably knew that her question got too deep for him.
Noticing that Wendy was depressed, Ewan thought that she was upset about Emily shabbily treating her.
He comforted, “Mr. Jackson said you should feel free to come to him if needed.”
“Really?” Wendy's face lit up. “Can I tell others that he is my brother?”
This wasn't the result she wanted.
However, Hunter was engaged. Before his fiancée disappeared, it would be a great honor to be Hunter's sister.
Ewan nodded. “Of course.”
In this way, for the sake of Hunter, people would take care of her.
Wendy was satisfied for the time being.
Looking at Ewan, she smiled softly. “Thank you for helping me just now. Without you, Emily ...”
She hung her head and bit her lips without saying anything else.
People would imagine endlessly while been kept in suspense.
Thus, Ewan would be under the impression that Wendy had been bullied by Emily at home.
Wendy was once beat up by Hunter's subordinates. In fact, Ewan was present.
He felt that she was innocent at that time.
Seeing her like this now, he felt sad for her.
He sighed and said seriously, “In the future, no one will dare to bully you.”
“I see.” Wendy nodded her head with a smile.
Under the sunlight, the soft smile rendered her indescribably beautiful.
Ewan was entranced.
Wendy knew how beautiful she was and what the man’s gaze suggested.
However, she pretended that she didn't see anything, taking two steps closer to Ewan. She was gentle, so was her voice.
“Thank you so much for saving me just now. If I encounter any trouble in the future, can I ask for your help?”
“Yes, you can.” Ewan hurriedly took two steps back, keeping a distance away from her.
As they were close to each other just now, Ewan’s breathing was uneven.
Her pleasant scent had stuck in his mind.
Noticing that Ewan blushed, Wendy knew that her goal had been achieved. Thus, she smiled at him again.
“Can I walk around and take a look at the surroundings?”
“You are Mr. Jackson's sister. You have full access to WongRiver Pavilion. No one will stop you in the future.”
“Thank you.”
Wendy turned around and walked towards the backyard.
The bright smile instantly turned into a smug one.
After Hunter valued her as his sister, everything went on smoothly.
Wendy felt good!
Luckily, she got Emily's blood sample that day. After the test, she knew that Emily was related to Hunter's grandmother by blood.
Otherwise, Wendy wouldn't take such a risk to ask Kate to act in front of the matriarch.
