However, he never thought that after that incident, Emily would change so much. She followed him to work and even accompanied him to the meeting. Although she was quiet, he could clearly see that Emily was listening carefully and seemed to be studying the company's affairs. Most importantly, she did not behave like a child at all.
A few days ago, a manager came over, He even praised Emily. The manager said that he and Emily met at the door and his document fell to the ground. He thought that Emily was a secretary, so he asked her to help him sort it out. Emily didn't say anything and lowered her head to help him sort it out. He only found out that Emily wasn't a secretary and was Mr. Maury's daughter after he arrived at the office. He also said that the documents were well organized, and that Emily looked normal. She wasn't a retard like the rumors had it.
Maury smiled and didn't take his words seriously back then. After thinking about it carefully, it was true that Emily sometimes behaved very normally.
"Dad, they're staying here tonight. We'll go out and have fun together tomorrow."
Emily's voice rang out, and Maury finally regained his senses. "Okay. Have a good time."
Perhaps she just walked out of her psychological shadow and slowly became normal, right?
Maury didn't ask. It was a good thing that Emily became normal and had friends. Even her friend was married and had a child...
Maury was puzzled. Did the two of them have a common topic?
Because of the guests, tonight's dinner was very sumptuous. The butler stood on the side and sliced duck. Susan took a transparent pancake and was responsible for curling the meat. Occasionally, she asked, "Do you want onions? Do you want sauce?"
Emma and Stony were both very quiet at the dining table. Maury occasionally asked, and they only replied after they had chewed up everything in their mouths.
"How did you know each other?" He was curious.
They met each other at the Tea Manor, then went to Mount Phoenix together, and then went to the Single Paradise to drink wine together. Only then did they become familiar with each other.
Emily said, "In the countryside, I met her when I went to catch fireflies."
Maury remembered this and nodded. He vaguely felt that Emma and Stony did not look like villagers. There were many rules and etiquette in large clans when eating. They did not allow people to talk, whisper, chew, or leave food unconsumed.
Maury did not make the children feel too restrained. Because he had been with Emily for a very short time, he liked to talk to the children at the dining table. He could casually chat with them.
Looking at the graceful manner in which the two from countryside were eating, he was somewhat puzzled as to which village they came from.
Looking at Emma's face, she was a very ordinary woman. Sitting with Emily, she would be ignored. However, just looking at this face would give people a very comfortable feeling. She sat there calmly and quietly, and her movements were elegant and graceful, giving people a visual enjoyment.
Maury felt as if he had seen Emma before. He couldn't remember for a moment, so he asked, "What does your father do?"
Thinking about it, Maury thought he might have met her father.
Emma paused for a moment before saying, "My father is a gatekeeper."
Maury nodded. He might have seen her father somewhere before.
"My dad probably saw me bring a friend back for the first time, so he talked a little more. He is very curious about you." Upstairs, Emily smiled at Emma.
Emma said, "He loves you very much."
Emily nodded, "He is nice to me."
Emily brought Emma to the guest room and said, "Tonight, you guys sleep here. Susan has changed the sheets and covers. There is a button on the wall. If you need something, press that button. Susan will come over."
"Alright." Emma put her backpack on the chair, then opened it and took out the toiletries.
Stony said with a smile, "Thank you."
Emily smiled at him and handed him a strawberry-flavored candy.
Maury also came up. Harold followed behind him with a pile of toys, many puzzles and building blocks, as well as large planes, tanks and remote-controlled vehicles in his arms.
"Come here. Do you like them?" Maury gave Stony a building block and touched Stony's cheek. Then he thought of Eliot's childhood, and felt very sad.
Stony looked at Emma. After seeing the tacit approval in her eyes, he took the building block from Maury and smiled. "I like it. Thank you, sir."
"Thank you." Emma took the item in Harold's hand and thanked Maury. Her expression was very calm, not indifferent. Looking carefully, everyone could see that there was a trace of smile in her eyes.
'I don't know what kind of family she grew up in, but she looks too indifferent.'
Maury judged it this way. He didn't know whether Emily was getting along well with her or not. On the whole, Emma was not bad, and Stony was also very cute.
With this thought in mind, Maury went back to his room. After taking a shower, Maury was thinking about this friend Emily had made. He was afraid that Emily would be tricked, afraid that she would have bad friends, afraid that she would be cheated by bad people, and even more afraid that her friend would sell her out in the name of taking her out...
This thought made Maury unable to sit still. He called Harold and told him to follow Emily closely tomorrow.
After he finished his words, Maury relaxed slightly. Then, he remembered Emma's face. Although it was a very ordinary face, that calm and indifferent gaze was rare, especially when it appeared on a woman.
Maury always felt that he had seen her somewhere, as if ... he swept his gaze and saw a newspaper on the table.
