Emily shook her head. It suddenly occurred to Emily that when Albert was excited just now, he said "leave without saying goodbye", so she explained, "It's my sister and brother-in-law who are going on a vacation! She thought it was too hard when give birth to Duke eighteen years ago, so she gave herself a holiday. I didn't say I was leaving! "
The corner of Albert's mouth twitched, and the tears on his face were completely absorbed back. "Then Then what happened? " Then he turned to Rae, who was watching the fun.
Rae shrugged, Accepted the vision that Albert questions and pretended to be innocent, "What? What ah? I don't know! "
"You don't know?" Albert looked at Rae with threatening eyes and said, "Little girl, you didn't say that just now!"
"Ah!" Rae exclaimed and suddenly waved her hand in the direction of the security check, "Uncle Mo! Auntie Poppi! Have a safe trip! Remember to buy a gift for Rae! "
"Okay! You should go back now! " Poppi also waved her hand enthusiastically.
Albert and Emily had been watching Poppi and Malcolm leave.
Rae breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to hold Emily's hand and said, "Auntie Emily, shall we leave now?"
"Wait!" Standing in front of Rae, Albert looked at the little girl with a snort, "We haven't finished yet. What's going on? You even learned to lie? "
"Lie? What's wrong? " Emily was surprised.
"Rae, do you want to tell me the truth?" Albert raised his eyebrows.
Pursing her lips, Rae looked at Albert coquettishly and chuckled. Then she ran over to hold his arm and said, "Brother Albert, it's the plan of aunt Poppi and uncle Mo! To be exact, it's aunt Poppi's plan. Uncle Mo and I just performed together. "
"What plan? What performed? " Emily was more curious, and so was Albert.
"Exactly..."
Rae said as the three walked out.
After Rae finished her words, the three just left the airport. The little girl said, "Aunt Poppi said that you two have become slow heat players. It's too uncomfortable not to say anything! So she came up with this idea. Ha ha, I didn't expect the result to be so obvious! "
"No wonder!" Emily didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "No wonder Albert questioned me as soon as he arrived at the airport, which scared me. I am thinking that I'm going to admit my son tonight. It seems that I'm going to fail. I didn't expect... "
"You didn't expect that Brother Albert can't wait any longer!" Rae answered with a smile, "Ha ha, I have secretly taken photos of Brother Albert's crying face! Ha ha, although I was so moved just now that I even cried But think about it now. It's so funny! "
Seeing that Rae tried hard not to laugh, Albert's face turned red.
Emily looked at Albert with loving eyes. "Let's go. Let's get in the car!"
"Okay." Albert glanced at Emily with a smile on his face.
When they got into the car and walked back, Emily couldn't help but start to talk about what happened to Albert when he was a child, when he was still in her belly.
"When I was pregnant, Albert was very quiet. Both Benson and I thought he would be a lovely girl." Emily said with a gleam on her face, "I found it was a boy when he was born. I knew that like his father, Albert must be a very graceful and warm boy."
Rae nodded in agreement, "Brother Albert is a good man! Brother Albert looks so beautiful when he smile! "
"Yes, it's beautiful." Emily replied and looked at Albert.
The warm and harmonious atmosphere was flowing in the car.
Although the days were approaching the cold winter, everyone's heart was as warm as spring.
"Duke, Hilary, have you heard the reason why Shelly asked for leave frequently some time ago?" One day, on the way back to the dormitory, Albert told Duke and Hilary the news he had just heard.
"No." Hilary shook her head and asked, "Brother Albert, you know?"
"I just heard about it." Albert frowned, "I heard that it's because Shelly is sick."
"Sick?" Duke frowned, "What disease?"
Albert shook his head and said, "It's said that she has hypoglycemia or epilepsy. Anyway, I don't believe any of them. But everyone agrees that there seems to be something wrong with Shelly's leg, so she often asks for leave for treatment."
"Ah! Speaking of this, when Shelly fell into the water some time ago, I suddenly remembered She suddenly felt a pain in her leg and fell into the lake. " Said Hilary.
"That's a little credible." Albert said, "The results of her monthly exam and the physical competition are not very good. It may have something to do with her disease. But she came to the class this week as usual. I heard that she was fine. "
"Oh." Duke nodded slightly and didn't comment too much.
"Has she recovered?" Asked Hilary.
"Yes!" Albert nodded and the three walked to the fork in the road. As usual, Duke sent Hilary back to her dormitory. Albert go back to his dormitory by himself.
Duke and Hilary walked side by side. Hilary smiled and said, "I seemed to have a dream. In my dream, Shelly was my rival in love. Now I feel it's not real! Shelly and Winni? I don't seem to know them. They don't know me either. We don't know each other. "
