Chapter 658 - Bitterness (1)

Vincent's car was parked under a tree. Through the car window, he saw Eliot sitting on a bench whose gaze was gentle as he watched Emily play with the branches and ants.

Eliot came over when he was free these days. When he saw Emily, it seemed like the time when Emily had just arrived at the Britt's ten years ago. However, the difference was that at that time, Emily was timid and sensitive, but now, Emily was so innocent. She could even play with ants for half a day.

Not long after, another car drove in. When Sydnee got out of the car and saw Eliot, her expression was a little awkward. The two of them had not met for a long time. This time, because Emily came back when Sydnee came over yesterday, she did not expect that Eliot was also there, so she hurriedly put down the gift and left. She did not expect that Eliot would be here today.

She tidied up her expression and nodded at Eliot. Then, she took a sealed envelope from the car, which contained the rent she had collected over the past few months.

She handed the money to Emily and said, "This is yours. Keep it."

Emily received it in confusion. She didn't know what was inside, but she felt that it was a little heavy. She threw away the branch, held the envelope in her arms, and rushed into the room, shouting, "Mom, Sister Sydnee is here!"

At that moment, only Sydnee and Eliot were at the door. One of them was sitting on a chair while the other was standing. They looked at each other from afar. Sydnee forced herself to ask, "How's your leg?"

"It's fine," Eliot replied politely.

No one spoke next, and the air froze.

Sydnee waved her finger and said, "I'm going inside."

"Sydnee." Eliot stopped her.

"Yes?" Sydnee paused.

"Are you embarrassed to see me?" Eliot asked.

Sydnee felt speechless for a moment.

Although this was the truth, it was really surprising for him to say it so bluntly, and she felt speechless about it.

"I'm not embarrassed. I just think... I tried my best not to do those things that will make you misunderstand, so I would unconsciously reflect on myself when I see you." Sydnee said hesitantly.

"No need. You can treat me like before." Eliot looked at her and said, "Treat me like how you treated me before. Now it's my turn to not think too much. I don't want you to feel stressed."

Sydnee was stunned.

"You are a good girl. You deserve a better man." After Eliot finished speaking, he picked up a walking stick from the chair and limped to his car in front of Sydnee.

Sydnee suddenly realized that he felt inferior.

The boy in a white shirt who once made the girls in the whole school obsessed with felt inferior, After a series of events in the Britt's, and a huge injury. Now that he was lame, he probably felt that he was not worthy of her.

There was another possibility that it was because the Britts was no longer his shelter. Sydnee had heard the rumors that Eliot was not a biological son of Maury, but was born by Beverly and another man. Although Sydnee did not quite believe it, she was certain that Eliot had rented a house and sent resumes to look for jobs. Although the rumors were not necessarily right, Eliot did not treat the Britt's as his own harbor. He tried his best to take himself out of the Britt's. If it were not for Emily's accident before, he might not have returned to the Britt Group in his life, let alone take over it.

It was said that from the moment Emily had an accident until now, he had been temporarily replacing the position of the general manager of the Britt Group. Once Emily had recovered, he would hand over all the jobs in his hands to her.

After Eliot left, Sydnee walked in. Donna took out a thick envelope and asked, "Where is the money from? Why are you giving her so much?"

"This is the rent," Sydnee told her about Emily buying a house.

She didn't say it directly. Donna lived with Emily and her son without any jobs, and they didn't have a source of income. Sydnee knew that Donna had connections with the Heytons, but she believed that if Emily recovered, she would definitely not use the money of the Heytons, so Sydnee sent the money at once so that they could feel more comfortable.

Donna didn't dare to use the money at first, but when she noticed Sydnee's kindness, she thanked her and accepted it.

Jackson did leave some money for her, but she didn't use it. A few days ago, when she came back, the guards who worked for Vincent gave a mobile phone to Emily. They also bought a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and meat to fill the refrigerator. Knowing that Donna had a bad lung condition, they asked even cooked. Yesterday, one of the guards was stung by a bee. He cooked with a wrapped around his face. Emily smiled for a long time.

After Sydnee left, Emily leaned on the table and practiced calligraphy. Donna put the money into the drawer. When she came out, she saw a man standing at the door. At first, when she looked at the stick, she thought it was Eliot, but when she looked up and saw Vincent's face, she was surprised and asked, "Today?"

Last time, Vincent said that the next time he came, he would take Emily with him.

He nodded at Donna, "Yes, we'll leave this afternoon."

"She's practicing calligraphy inside. I'll go and pack things up first." Donna pointed to the room.

"Alright."

The first floor was specially reserved for Emily. There were all kinds of dolls inside. There was also a study desk and a bed. Emily would practice calligraphy here, and Donna would be convenient to watch her.

When Vincent walked in, Emily was writing with her head down. She was writing very seriously. There were four or five pieces of paper in front of her, and they were all written with the name "Vincent Scavo".

"How many have you written?" he suddenly asked.

"Two hundred and twelve," Emily replied without even lifting her head.

After saying that, she realized that something was wrong. She turned around and saw a man standing next to her. Her wet eyes widened, wet.

"Vincent?"

"Don't you recognize me?" Vincent rubbed her head.

The little girl seemed surprised to see him, and her mouth was slightly open.

"Yes. But you were talking to me this morning and didn't say that you are coming today..." she said with a hint of joy.

Vincent took out a piece of mango layer cake from behind and handed it over, "I'm here to take you to have fun."

Emily was about to take the cake from his hand and was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

She glanced at the door.

Vincent knew what she meant and chuckled before saying, "Your mother has packed her things. She'll come with us later."

"Really?" She ran out excitedly and shouted to Donna upstairs, "Mom? Are we going out to play?"

When Donna heard her, she took a bag and asked, "I brought your towel and toothbrush. Do you have any toys you want to bring?"

Emily nodded. "Yes!"

Just as Emily was about to go get her toys, she thought of something and turned back to ask, "Mom, are we not coming back tonight? What are you bringing the toothbrush for?"

"Yes, we'll stay there for a few days."
