Chapter 762 Expressive Girls
After all, the Murray Family was pretty well-known here.
However, thanks to Mr. Murray, this family had fallen into decay.
Alisha and Aurelia knew that Keira had an older sister who hadn't been living with her since young, but they didn't know anything other than that.
Therefore, they were astonished at the sight of Emmeline.
They didn't expect her to be so attractive and graceful.
At that time, Emmeline wore a simple dress.
She had ear-length short hair, which further enhanced her beauty. Not only did she look neat and stunning, but she gave off a sense of purity at the same time.
Yes, purity.
They couldn't imagine how a person could maintain this sort of temperament after spending four years in prison.
After a while, the both of them came back to their senses and greeted Emmeline happily.
"Hi! Nice to meet you, Emmeline," they greeted politely.
To that, Emmeline nodded and responded with a smile.
After that, Keira spoke, "Hey, you guys should join us! I have made extra portions."
Happily, Alisha and Aurelia agreed.
Therefore, the four of them had a lively and joyful lunch together.
Emmeline liked how bubbly Alisha and Aurelia were.
Sure enough, being youthful was to be candid and expressive.
Only people who experienced a lot in life would learn to hide their feelings.
Therefore, throughout the meal, she wore a gentle smile and played along with everyone.
Alisha and Aurelia also thought that Emmeline was easy to get along with.
Except for the fact that she didn't like to talk much, she had no other shortcomings.
After dinner, the two of them volunteered to wash the dishes.
Initially, Emmeline didn't want to trouble them, but Keira dragged her aside.
"Just let them do it. They had our lunch for free anyway," Keira joked.
Upon hearing that, Alisha and Aurelia laughed and retorted.
With that, Emmeline decided to accept their kindness and followed Keira into her room.
While tidying up her bed, Keira said, "You can sleep here for the next two days, and I'll sleep in Aurelia's room. Since we're all living here for free, feel free to stay here as long as you want to. I believe Alisha and Aurelia won't mind about it."
After hearing what Keira said, Emmeline was slightly doubtful.
"Wouldn't it be too troublesome for them?" she asked.
With a smile, Keira looked up at her and assured, "Don't worry, it won't."
Hearing that, Emmeline did not say anything more.
After tidying up the bed, Keira left Emmeline alone in the room so that she could take an afternoon nap.
Emmeline could indistinctly hear the laughter of the girls outside. Soon, it faded off.
Perhaps they had went into their own rooms to rest.
As soon as Emmeline lay on the bed, she could smell the faint detergent smell on the sheets. For a while, she couldn't fall asleep as she was clear-headed.
Then, she raised her watch and looked at the time.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
The moment she closed her eyes, those unforgettable memories came into her mind like a showreel.
And a few moments later, she opened her eyes.
After that, she got up, rolled out of bed, and walked to the window.
Standing before the window, she opened it and looked out.
Just as she thought, on the opposite street, there was a black Rolls-Royce.
Most probably, the car was already there for quite some time. As it was autumn, the leaves on the parasol trees had shed.
Some leaves landed on the top of the car, adding a touch of autumn to this bleak street scene.
Staring at that car, Emmeline narrowed her eyes with coldness gradually gathered in it.
After a sneer, she turned around, opened the door, and went out.
Coincidently, when Emmeline went out, Keira just returned home.
It turned out that Keira went downstairs to the mobile phone store and collected Emmeline's phone.
Emmeline had just come out of prison, so she did not have a phone with her.
As soon as Keira thought about that, she sent her old phone to repair.
Once the phone was fixed, she could let Emmeline use it temporarily.
Although the phone was old, there was no better way now.
And according to her understanding of Emmeline, she believed that Emmeline wouldn't misinterpret her kindness, nor would she dislike the phone.
When Emmeline saw the mobile phone in Keira's hand, she knew that the phone was for her.
Reaching out her hand, she took the phone and asked, "Is there a card in it?"
Keira was stunned for a moment before she reacted with a nod, "Yes."
"Have you saved your number?" Emmeline asked.
"Yes."
"Cool, I'll take it."
As Emmeline spoke, she smiled at Keira and strode away. Then, she continued, "I'll be out for a while, and I won't be having dinner. Once I am done, I'll be back."
After that, she waved at Keira with her back facing Keira and left.
For a while, Keira stared at Emmeline's back before she recovered.
She was a little confused.
What did she mean by going out and not having dinner?
Where was she going?
She knew that Emmeline didn't have many friends here, so she thought Emmeline wasn't supposed to have any important business.
Thinking of this, Keira felt a little worried.
However, in the end, she did not stop Emmeline. Instead, she yelled with concern, "Be careful! Call me if you need me!"
With her back facing Keira, Emmeline waved as a reply.
After she exited the dormitory building, she walked toward the black Rolls-Royce parked across the street.
Meanwhile, inside the Rolls-Royce car, Jara's face darkened as he saw Emmeline walking toward him.
In front of him, there sat his driver cum assistant, Quan Terry. Quan was also surprised to see Emmeline and looked at Jara through the rearview mirror, wanting to remind him. However, before he could speak, there was a knock on the window from outside.
The window rolled down, revealing Emmeline's gorgeous and pure face.
Her skin was fair beyond ordinary people, just like a lustering white crystal under the sun.
When Jara was staring at her, his eyes were deep and cold.
On the other hand, Emmeline looked relaxed. She took out a cigarette, smoked it, and spat out a small smoke ring. Then, she squinted her eyes and smilingly looked at him.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Holland. It seems like you've been following me all the way here. Are you here to reminisce the old days or to take revenge on me?"
Behind her casual and indifferent words, there was a hint of sharpness.
Seeing this, Quan dared not say anything and turned his head away as if he had nothing to do with this.
As he had been working with Jara for nearly eight years, he knew about the relationship between Jara and Emmeline.
