Chapter 802 Suddenly Wanting See Her
Emmeline didn't go far. She was only hanging around in the garden in front of Tower B for a short while.
As the warm sunshine shone on the top of her head, it was like a huge and soft cotton cloth layering around her body.
At that moment, Yunne was by her side. Afraid that she would get cold from the wind, she had taken out a thin blanket for her.
"Miss Illington, the lotus in the pond is about to bloom. Would you like to have a look?"
There was a large pond at the outermost part of the castle's garden. Usually, Uncle Poick would order someone to take care of it, and Jara rarely went there.
Uncle Poick felt that the pond looked a little empty without anything inside, so he asked Yunne to plant some lotus in there.
It was only April now. Logically, it was not the time where the lotuses should be blooming yet.
However, perhaps it was because the weather was getting warmer now, or perhaps it was because the lotuses Uncle Poick had ordered people to transplant were of a different species, at this time of the year, many flowers had already blossomed.
After some thought, Emmeline thought since there was nothing to do, she might as well go and take a look.
So she agreed.
Seeing that, Yunne pushed her over excitedly.
By the side of the pond, indeed, there were a lot of big pink and white flowers blooming among the undulating lotus leaves.
Some of them were bud flowers, but most of them had already bloomed.
Seeing that, Yunne was a little surprised.
"Ah, I came to see it a few days ago, they were still buds How come they have bloomed so quickly?"
As she spoke, she ran over and picked one.
Meanwhile, Emmeline looked at the snow-white flowers, which were delicate and beautiful against the green leaves. At the sight of them, it put a smile on her face.
"You've picked Uncle Poick's flowers. Be careful, he might look for you later."
Emmeline said jokingly.
But Yunne snorted softly. "He won't. Uncle Poick is such a friendly man. Last time, when the flowers he planted bloomed, he specially asked someone to pick some and give them to us. He said that if there were flowers in a girl's room, they would feel better, so he wouldn't mind."
Hearing the words, Emmeline smiled slightly.
Uncle Poick had always been like this. No matter who he was, he would always have a kind and caring expression on his face.
As they were talking and laughing, all of a sudden Yunne froze.
Trotting to Emmeline, she whispered, "Miss Illington, isn't that Miss Burke?"
Hearing that, Emmeline tilted her head slightly and looked in the direction Yunne was pointing.
As expected, she saw that Kayla was in a hurry, walking in another direction with her head lowered.
Seeing that, Yunne frowned.
"Where is she going? Isn't that the direction... where Mr. Holland lives? Didn't he say that if it's not an emergency, no one is allowed to go look for him during the day?"
Meanwhile, Emmeline was expressionless, but her eyes darkened a little.
Then, she said in a low voice, "She probably has something going on."
After that, she retracted her gaze.
As the matter of fact, looking at Emmeline, Yunne blinked her eyes when she realized there was nothing unusual in her expression and she looked uninterest.
Then, she smiled and said, "Probably. Mr. Holland hates Kayla so much. He would see you instead of her."
The moment Emmeline heard her words, her fingers, which were stroking her skirt, stopped.
Then, she looked up at Yunne.
Her eyes were deep like a sharp blade when she looked directly at Yunne and asked, "How so?"
Hearing that, Yunne smiled brightly.
"This is a fact. Everyone can see that Mr. Holland's heart is with you. Kayla just doesn't want to admit it. How many times had Mr. Holland taken the initiative to look for you? And how many times did he go to look for her? If she hadn't shamelessly presented herself at the door every time, Mr. Holland might have already forgotten that she exists in the castle."
When Yunne finished her words, a sneer appeared on Emmeline's face as she looked at her with a faint smile in her eyes.
"Oh? Who told you to say these?"
Hearing that, Yunne was stunned.
When her eyes met Emmeline's, although she was smiling, Yunne could see the coldness in her eyes, which was as frosty as ice.
It was she had realized something and her expression changed immediately. In a hurry, she explained. "I didn't mean it. Miss Illington, please don't..."
"Don't talk about it anymore."
After that, Emmeline looked away indifferently as she didn't want to hold grudge against her.
Looking ahead, Emmeline uttered faintly. "We're not the same kind of people. You can't compare her with me. The relationship between Jara and I is not as you think, so whether they are close to each other, or whether Jara takes the initiative to talk to her, has nothing to do with me. Don't say such words in front of me in the future again."
Hearing that, Yunne was taken aback.
Her gaze landed on Emmeline's face carefully, only to find that she looked serious and determined. She was not joking at all.
Only then did Yunne realize that Emmeline was being serious.
Hence, she dared not say anything further, and quickly replied in a low voice, "Yes, I understand."
After hearing her words, Emmeline had lost the mood for a stroll.
Thus, after sitting for a while, she asked Yunne to send her back.
When she returned to her room, she remembered what Yunne had said just now and laughed at herself.
Jara had her in his heart?
Heh. If Jara heard this, even he wouldn't believe these words himself.
She thought to herself, what an irony. Then, she couldn't be bothered to think about it as she decided to put everything aside and went straight to rest.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Kayla was in a good mood.
After coming to the castle for so long, this was the first time that Jara had taken the initiative to look for her.
Although she still didn't know why he had asked her to come to the main building, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
Besides, she was already in luck that he was willing to see her, which was important progress in their relationship.
This time, no matter what he asked her to do, she would agree.
Even if she was asked to... surrender herself.
With the thought in mind, she was getting more excited.
Soon, she entered the hall of the main building and saw Quan waiting there. When he saw her, he smiled and walked up to her.
"Miss Burke, you're here. Mr. Holland is waiting for you upstairs."
Upstairs?
Hearing that, Kayla was surprised.
The upper floor was a forbidden area. Normally, no one was allowed to go there.
Last time, when she finally made it to the study, she was almost thrown out by him.
However, he deliberately invited her to go upstairs today?
Was he really going to accept her now?
Thinking of this, Kayla felt a surge of excitement as if there was a rabbit in her heart, jumping non-stop.
With a nod, she followed Quan up the stairs.
Meanwhile, in a reception room upstairs.
Jara was not the only one in the exquisitely decorated luxurious room.
On the wide sofa sat a middle-aged man with his long legs crossed and his back leaning lazily against the sofa. He had a hand placed on the armrest of the sofa while the other held a top-quality cigar. His eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke to Jara with a smile while he exhaled the smoke.
As for Jara, he remained impassive and reserved, sitting on the sofa in front of the man. He looked calm and confident, with a hint of sharpness and cunningness in his eyes.
