In a normal situation, if it were another woman, she would definitely feel uncomfortable when she saw this.
However, when I saw this, I was calm. I even felt that this matter had nothing to do with me at all.
However, Emily didn't think so.
She seemed to be worried that I couldn't see her hickeys. So she touched the hickeys with her hands deliberately.
But I turned a blind eye to her.
Looking at Emily from the side, Lacy rolled her eyes.
Only Janice did what she should do. It seemed that all these things had nothing to do with her.
After we came downstairs, Shelton put down the newspaper in his hands and went to the dining table.
Everything was as usual.
After the meal, I planned to take Glenn to Nancy's house first. However, Shelton asked me, "Can you have a rest today? I want to show you something."
"What's that?"
"Is that alright?"
Shelton confirmed with me once again. His tone sounded a little sincere and gentle with slight pressure in it. So I didn't know how to refuse.
I thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."
As for Glenn...
It was unknown how long we would be out this time. If we went out for a whole day, how could I dare to let Emily take care of Glenn for the whole day?
I thought about it and said to Shelton, "How about I send Glenn to Nancy's house first..."
"Yes! I have a deal with Cicely. I have to go to see her today. A boy has to keep his words rather than break his promise."
As soon as I finished speaking, Glenn spoke.
He looked like a little adult.
After he said that, everyone in the room burst out laughing.
Shelton looked at him and sighed helplessly, "Well, then send him there first."
After the meal, I went out of the door with Glenn. Emily handed Shelton the clothes and the shoes with great enthusiasm.
And she acted as if she hadn't seen Glenn and me.
I didn't even bother to scold her.
If I drove Emily away, Shelton wouldn't let me go so easily. That was what I was worried about.
When we got out of the door, we sent Glenn to Nancy's house. After we left Nancy's house, Shelton took my hand and asked, "Is Cicely going to be our daughter-in-law in the future?"
"Ah?" I was a little confused. However, thinking about it for after a moment, I said, "No way. Glenn is so young now."
"But I think he knows a lot of things."
Shelton said softly.
Hearing his casual words, I felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words.
I quickly changed the subject and asked him, "So, where are we going today?"
He looked at me meaningfully and said, "You'll know after you get there."
The car drove all the way to a white building with more than 20 floors in the suburbs of City Y. It was very remote. And there were very few cars driving by it.
There was only a receptionist in the lobby on the first floor without any sign at the door.
Shelton led me into the room. When the receptionist saw him, she greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Cowell."
Then she took out a boarding list.
Shelton nodded, signed his name on it, and left.
I hurried to keep up with him.
He took me into the building and pressed the button leading to the third floor on the elevator.
Initially, I thought it was just an ordinary building. However, after I got out of the elevator, I found that it was actually a high-tech laboratory base.
As people entered and left this place, they had to go through facial searches and got their fingerprints and retinas identified.
