Chapter 820 Her Kindness That Is Hard to Refuse
The moment she saw Kayla, Emmeline thought of what Yunne told her just now. With that, faint ridicule emanated from the depths of her eyes.
"What's the matter?"
She asked in a flat tone.
Feeling over the moon, Kayla swayed her waist while walking to Emmeline and bragged, "Nothing in particular. Jara sent me some gifts just now, and I thought I shouldn't keep all the good stuff to myself. So, I've brought you some."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and Millay walked over with a tray in her hand.
Then, Kayla picked up the small packages on the tray and tossed them on the table.
"One is lavender tea, and the other one is chamomile tea. Both of them are of the highest quality and can help in relaxation. Nice gift, right?"
Emmeline's eyes fell on the two packages of flower tea thrown on the table.
Coincidently, Yunne had returned from the kitchen. At the sight of this scene, she was shocked.
With her head lowered, she hurried over to Emmeline and stood beside her.
"Miss Illington..."
At that moment, she thought that Emmeline would go ballistic.
However, on the contrary, Emmeline chuckled softly.
Stretching out her hand, she picked up the tea packages and examined them smilingly. "It's indeed a nice gift. Thanks!"
As she spoke, she handed those packages to Yunne.
"Yunne, put these away."
Hearing that, Yunne was dumbfounded, and her eyes widened.
"Miss Illington..."
With a smile, Emmeline said, "It's a gift from Miss Burke. How could I not accept it?"
At that moment, Emmeline's smile was as gentle as the spring breeze, which instantly extinguished the flame of fury in Yunne's heart.
With that, Yunne lowered her head and took the packages. "Yes, Miss Illington."
On the other side, when Kayla saw this, she felt as if she had thrown her fist on a pile of cotton, which was depressing.
Even so, she sneered, "Emmeline, I bet you don't know about this. I'm going to get married to Jara."
As soon as Emmeline heard that, her finger paused.
After a while, she looked at Kayla calmly. "I know. You've told me."
Instantaneously, Kayla was speechless.
Irked, she gritted her teeth, bent over, and asked, "Aren't you jealous?"
Emmeline smiled faintly.
Even though she was clenching her fingers tightly, she looked undisturbed.
"Why would I jealous? I'm not in love with him."
What?
Upon hearing what Emmeline said, Kayla was shocked. Just then, from the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure approaching.
At once, she straightened up and giggled softly, "Oh, I see. I heard that you and Jara are childhood sweethearts. Besides, both of you were once together for a long time. However, I can relate to your feelings right now. After all, when we love someone, we love passionately. When we don't, we become a stranger."
As she spoke, she kept glancing in the direction of the stairs using the corner of her eye.
At that moment, Jara was standing there motionlessly.
On the other hand, Emmeline didn't know anything because her back was facing the entrance.
She somehow felt uncomfortable, as if her heart was pierced by something.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't care about Jara's private life right now.
After all, their relationship had ended four years ago.
The day when he personally sent her to prison.
However, ironically, the more she tried to ignore, the more she cared.
Even at this moment, she knew that Kayla might be lying for the sake of annoying her, but she got irritated.
Taking a deep breath, Emmeline tried to suppress the emotions in her heart. Then, she responded in a low voice, "It's good that you understand. So, stop bothering me. Although flies don't sting, they can be annoying when they keep buzzing in a person's ear."
As Emmeline was straightforward, Kayla's face darkened.
Even so, for the first time, she did not throw a fit. Instead, she smiled gently as if she was aware of something.
"You don't sound like you don't care."
Hearing that, Emmeline responded coldly, "Well, do I need to give you my blessing to show that I really don't care?"
"Of course, that's for sure."
With a simper, Kayla slowly approached Emmeline and stood beside her. Then, she whispered, "After all, if I marry Jara in the future, I will be the hostess of this castle. If a guest like you let me feel that you still covet Jara, I can't be rest assured."
As if she heard a joke, Emmeline laughed.
"Coveting him? Seriously?"
She sneered, "In this world, not everyone would pick up a scrap metal and treat it like a treasure, just like you."
After a pause, she continued, "Moreover, if I really coveted him, we would've gotten together, and you wouldn't even be here right now."
Hearing that, Kayla was stunned.
It didn't occur to her that Emmeline could still be so sharp-tongued at this point.
With a flash of light in her eyes, Kayla suddenly held the handle of Emmeline's wheelchair.
"Why don't I bring you there? The scenery over there is better."
As Kayla spoke, she pushed Emmeline's wheelchair toward the edge of the balcony.
Instantaneously, Emmeline frowned.
"No thanks. I'm fine here," she rejected.
"Don't be shy. The last time I stood over there, I realized that the night scenery there is eye-pleasing. You can have the best lake view there."
Kayla spoke while pushing Emmeline away without giving her a chance to speak.
Because the both of them spoke in a low voice, the servants standing next to them couldn't hear what they were talking about, let alone Jara, who was standing far away.
Seeing that Emmeline was pushed away, Yunne wanted to stop Kayla.
Nevertheless, she was immediately held back by Millay.
Turning around, she saw the smirk on Millay's face.
"Why are you so anxious? They're just chatting with each other. Do you think that Miss Burke is going to do something to Miss Illington?"
For a while, Yunne was stunned, but somehow, she thought that Millay was right.
When it came to fighting alone, even ten Kaylas couldn't defeat Emmeline.
Thinking about that, Yunne was relieved, and she didn't say anything else.
Meanwhile, Emmeline also wanted to see what Kayla was going to do. Therefore, she didn't really stop Kayla from pushing her wheelchair.
Soon, they came to the edge of the balcony.
The railings here were relatively low, which was barely the height of a person's upper thigh.
Staring at the shimmering moonlight on the lake, Emmeline asked, "What on earth do you want to say?"
With a faint smile, Kayla replied, "Indeed, you're quick-witted. Actually, I bring you here to have a private chat."
