Chapter171
Emery sighed, “I didn’t expect Krista to be so good at animation
and have such a versatile voice. She’s really talented. I wish my
mom was as awesome as her.”
Emery was totally focused on watching the cartoon, not
knowing that Bethany had come back.
Eliza came out of the kitchen and saw Bethany, so she quickly
shouted, “Ma’am.”
Emery heard a sound, immediately turned his head, and saw
Bethany standing expressionless next to the sofa. His mood
instantly hit rock bottom.
If it was in the past, she would definitely rush to his side, look
him up and down, care for him, worry about him, and be
anxious for him.
He was about to jump off the building, and when she came
back, she was still so indifferent!
Emery rolled his eyes and said, “Mom, come watch cartoons
with me!”
Bethany walked up to Emery, and Emery thought to himself,
Chapter 171
“Mom still cares about him.”
Before, after dinner, mom would always watch cartoons with
him.
His gloomy expression on his face eased a bit.
Bethany, with a straight face, questioned him with gestures.
“Did you threaten to jump off the building to make me come
back and watch cartoons with you?”
Emery opened his dark eyes and said, “Can’t we? Just think
about it, how long has it been since you watched cartoons with
me?”
Bethany’s lips were slightly pale.
Why didn’t she watch cartoons with him? Doesn’t he
understand that himself?
Emery urged, “Come over here quickly, the main character of
this animation was made by Krista, she’s really talented. Let’s
watch it together, and later you can help me draw the
characters here. I want to make a paper–cut illustration book to
give to Krista.”
Emery thought Krista was really understanding and caring.
Chapter171
To keep peace in their family, he called specifically to ask him to
bring his mom back home.
He wanted to keep his mom at home so Krista wouldn’t have to
worry anymore, that way Krista could come back to live at
Vespera Villa.
The date of his handicraft competition was getting closer and
closer, he really needed Krista.
Bethany’s throat felt like it was being stabbed by a thorn.
She raised her wrist, “Has Emery learned how to do paper–cut
illustrations?”
Emery’s eyebrows furrowed instantly.
Yes, he could.
He gave the first paper–cut illustration he made to Krista.
Emery couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.
He promised his mom before that when he could independently
complete a paper–cut illustration, his first work must be given to
his mom.
“Hey, why are you so annoying, always asking this and that, can
you still watch cartoons with me?”
Chapter171
Bethany ignored Emery and went to Eliza, typing a message on
her phone.
“Get a few more servants to take care of the villa, keep a close
eye on the young master. He just called me and said he wants to
jump off the building. If you can’t watch him, none of you will
be off the hook!”
Eliza was shocked when she saw the content. Emery was the
apple of the McConnell family. If anything were to happen to
him, the servants at Vespera Villa would not survive.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go call a few people over right away!”
Eliza quickly went to the backyard and found a few maids who
had been serving indoors before, reminded them of the young
master wanting to jump off the building, and told them to keep
a close eye on him.
Bethany saw that everyone was in place, so she turned around
to leave.
