Collin was surprised. Emily looked young. However, she was intelligent. But she hid her intelligence inner and faced the world with indifference. It seemed that the world was not worthy of her gentle smile or she was severely harmed before, so she no longer faced this world with pure pleasure and joy.
At first, the contrast was striking when Kiki and Emily sat together. Obviously, Kiki was several years older than Emily. However, she was nervous. Her face, including her scrolling eyes, showed her uneasiness. However, Emily seemed calm. She was indifferent but courteous. She looked cold, but she would reveal smiles and gentle expressions when she and Vincent looked at each other.
The waiter served the dishes one after another. Before picking up the chopsticks, Emily looked at the opposite and made a 'please 'gesture.
Collin unconsciously raised his eyebrows. Emily looked young, but she was as mature and generous as an adult male. For example, it was him not her should make this gesture. But he didn't think it weird. It seems like Emily should be so calm and cold.
It would be OK if a man had these dispositions, but why did Emily behave like this? She was so young. Was she assimilated as she had been with Mr. Vincent for a long time?
It was easy to understand as Collin thought in this way.
Emily and Vincent didn't have much communication when they were eating. Vincent always served Emily. Harold and Rex peeled the shrimp silently. Kiki kept her breathing gentle, not disturbing their quiet eating atmosphere.
"Eat some meat." Seeing Emily didn't eat the meat in the bowl, Vincent frowned slightly. He picked up the meat and put it in her mouth. Emily was unwilling to eat it. She frowned reluctantly and tried to avoid it.
Vincent coaxed softly, "Be good, take another bite."
Emily shook her head, "No."
Vincent's voice became softer, "Just one bite."
Emily refused resolutely, "No."
Vincent ate half of the meat and handed the rest over, "Only half of it."
Emily reluctantly opened her mouth to eat the rest.
Vincent wiped the corner of her mouth with his fingertips and continued to serve her food as usual.
Kiki was shocked.
She didn't expect Mr. Vincent to be like this.
Collin was shocked, too.
Neither did he expect that.
This was their blind date. They didn't expect to watch them be lovey-dovey. Poor guys.
Emily didn't have a good appetite during her period. She was languid. She had drunk two cups of brown sugar water and now she wanted to go to the bathroom. Harold was about to go with her, but Vincent took the bag from his hand and followed her.
'Wait, wait. Mr. Vincent went to the ladies' room with Emily?'
Collin was out of words.
If Kiki wasn't here, he would follow them to see what else Mr. Vincent could do.
There was no one else, who was willing to take the handbag for his girlfriend to the bathroom, in City Y. He came to the bathroom just to help his girlfriend take the handbag, like an assistant.
Collin smelled the brown sugar water as soon as he sat down. He knew that it was Emily's period immediately. Therefore, he ordered porridge, which was good for her health, for Emily and some dessert for Kiki. Emily ate some porridge. Probably because she didn't want to eat something cold, she only ate a few mouthfuls of dessert. Vincent was always there to take care of her. Actually, it was not accurate. Every time Collin looked up, he would find that Vincent's eyes were on Emily.
Love was amazing. Some people cried because they failed to find true love. Some people loved people who didn't love them. Some people would stay with the people they love till death. And some only watched other people love each other.
What a wonderful world! He had never expected to encounter Mr. Vincent, who was like this in private. He didn't expect that Emily was stronger than he had imagined.
He remembered that he occasionally met her when he went to see Eliot. At that time, Emily was indifferent and expressionless. When they met, she pursed her lips and nodded politely, without smiles. Perhaps she could not smile. Or maybe she didn't bother to change her expression. In short, Collin once thought that she was just a girl who was armed with indifference.
However, today, Emily shook off the indifference, revealing her maturity and calmness which was incompatible with her age. Perhaps she remembered a lot of things when she was young. So, she developed an attitude towards the world during the period when she was treated as a fool.
An indifferent attitude.
After her father had an accident and Eliot was hospitalized, she didn't hide her indifference, revealing it to all gracefully.
Actually, anyone, who had been treated as a fool for more than a decade, facing a series of setbacks such as his father's death, hospitalization of his brother, acquisition of his company, and so on, would be depressed for several days and get better little by little.
But Emily didn't. She had already armed herself when Collin noticed her. Nobody had the chance to see her fragility.
Actually, Collin could guess that Vincent accompanied her out every time to help her relax and lighten her mood. Obviously, it didn't work.
Emily returned with smiles in her eyes. Collin guessed that Mr. Vincent had done something at the entrance of the bathroom. Kiki also noticed that. Looking at Emily's red lips, she immediately knew what happened.
After knowing that, she was so excited that her ears turned red as if it wasn't Emily but she was kissed against the sink.
She was going to draw it out.
This thought suddenly occurred to her. She couldn't help but look at Emily with glowing eyes.
