"Shut up." A man said in a mad tone.
Everyone looked over. It was Derek, Rose's fiance. Derek was tall and handsome. As the heir of the Scott family, he looked powerful and deterring. He frowned in disgust at this farce. Although he didn't like Rose, he hated it more when people were making a scene. Emily watched as Derek walked up to her. She looked straight into his eyes, feeling that he was somehow familiar. Derek's face darkened. He hated people staring at him, especially women. "If you are not here for the engagement party, please leave," Derek said impatiently. "As the head of the Hopkinson family, I must be present when the will is being read. Mr. Scott, you can't ask me to leave." Emily knew that Derek was Rose's fiance and would take her side. The Scott family was powerful, especially after Derek became the head of the family. Emily knew very well that she could not fight against the two families at the same time. However, Rose killed her babies, and Emily couldn't suppress her anger. Moreover, Bennett's sudden death also made Emily suspicious. At this time, Rose stood up crying. Her expensive dress and jewelry were covered with cream. Today was supposed to be a wonderful day, yet because of Emily, it became the worst day of her life. "Derek, you are my fiance. You've got to protect me and ask Emily to leave," Rose shouted in despair. Derek did not look at Rose. He turned to Laura and said, "Mrs. Hopkinson, please take Rose back first." "No, I don't want to go. Emily, you bitch!" Rose roared. She rushed over but Emily dodged her. There was a champagne fountain behind Emily. Rose lost control and crashed into it. A little boy stood beside it. "Oh no!" Someone screamed, and the women closed their eyes in fright. Emily dashed to the little boy. She pulled him into her arms while the champagne glasses fell on her back. Emily ignored the pain. She checked the little boy and found that he was not injured. Then, she felt relieved. "Aaron, are you alright?" Ian ran over on his short legs. He looked at Aaron and then said to Emily, "My name is Ian. Thank you for saving Aaron. He is my brother." Emily looked at Ian and felt that he and Chris looked alike. Aaron moved while staying in her arms, so Emily looked down at him. Aaron hugged Emily tightly, clutching her clothes. He seemed to like Emily very much. "Aaron, let go of her," Derek said as he walked over to Emily. Aaron did not respond. At this time, Rose had just gotten up from the table. She reached out and grabbed Aaron's shoulder. She screamed, "Aaron, I'm your mother. You're not allowed to hug her." "Stop! You will hurt him," Emily shouted anxiously. Aaron set his teeth like an enraged young wolf. He turned and bit Rose's hand. Rose uttered a sharper shriek. She let go of her grip, then Aaron went back into Emily's arms. Everyone was shocked. Why did Aaron like Emily so much? Rose glared at Emily. Everything messed up after Emily came back. She was Aaron and Ian's mother, yet they preferred Emily. Was it because Emily was their biological mother? Ian was also surprised. Aaron had autism, and he hated people touching him. Except for Ian and Derek, Aaron wouldn't let anyone touch him. However, he hugged Emily. Ian was a little jealous, though he didn't want to admit it. Laura walked out of the crowd and helped Rose up. Laura rubbed her hand comfortingly. "Emily, I don't know where you have been for all these years, nor do I know why you ruined the engagement party the moment you came back. However, I am still very grateful because you saved Rose and Derek's son." Laura emphasized the last sentence. Then Laura said to Derek, "I'll take Rose back first. I need to clean her wounds." Then Laura took Rose away. Kevin and Ash followed behind. "Aaron, let the doctor check on you," said Derek as his gaze fell on Emily again. Emily wanted to leave too since she had completed her mission. Rose wouldn't be able to inherit the family property now. Aaron was still in her arms and did want her to leave. She smiled. Although he was Rose's son, she liked him. She took out a lollipop from her handbag, removed the wrapper, and handed it to Aaron. "Aaron, everything is OK now. I need to go now, okay?" Aaron raised his head. His face was red, and he looked a little embarrassed. "Alright." His eyes were fixed on Emily as if he was afraid that she would disappear. Ian was jealous. He was with Aaron every day, and it was the first time he had heard Aaron speak, yet Aaron was speaking to a strange woman. Ian watched Emily gently rubbing Aaron's head, and hoped she would rub his head too. "Hello, Ian. This lollipop is for you." Ian's gaze was so intense that Emily couldn't ignore it. She took out another lollipop and gave it to Ian. Ian smiled as he licked it. Emily couldn't help laughing. Though Aaron and Ian were adorable, she didn't want to get too close to them. After all, they were Rose's children. She looked at Aaron in her arms. "Aaron, I'm going home now. Go home with Derek, okay?" Ian was enjoying the lollipop. He walked over to pull Aaron's hand, yet Aaron grasped Emily's hand and refused to let go of her. Aaron looked at Emily and pleaded, "Come home with me." Everyone looked at Emily in shock, as if she spelled magic on the boys. Emily found Aaron very lovely. She couldn't help but kiss his cheek and say, "You and Ian go back with Derek first. I'll come to visit you after I'm done with my issues, alright?" Aaron nodded and loosened his grip. Everyone could see that he was reluctant. When Ian pulled him away, Aaron kept looking back at Emily. Derek looked at Aaron and raised his eyebrows. Aaron's attitude toward Emily made Derek a little jealous. "The engagement party is over. Thank you all for coming." After Derek finished speaking, people said goodbye and left. In the end, only Emily was left in the hall. Before leaving, she straightened her dress so that she would not look too bad.The sky darkened, and it began to rain. Emily was about to drive back to the hotel when she realized that she had a flat tire. She waited for a long time and still couldn't get a taxi and she was drenched in the rain. She kicked the tire angrily. Emily thought about Bennett's death, the night five years ago, and her dead babies. She broke down. She crouched in the rain and pressed her head against her arms. Her tears mingled with the rain and ran down her face. Then, a car slowly stopped in front of her. The window was down. It was Derek. "Get in the car," said Derek. Emily bit her lower lip. She didn't like his tone. "No, thanks, Mr. Scott." She quickly wiped her tears, though her eyes were still red. "Really? You lied to Aaron just now. He's still waiting for you," Derek said with a gloomy expression. Then, Aaron's little head popped out of the window, and he looked at Emily with his big eyes. Emily didn't know what to say. So, she compromised. She got int
The next day, the three of them finished their breakfast and went to the company they had chosen. In the car, Emily was still reading about the company's information. DreamKids was a subsidiary of the Scott Group. They focused on children's clothing. Emily thought of the conflict with Derek last night and had second thoughts. But as she looked at Chris and Diane, she gave up the idea and didn't want to let them down. 'Derek is the head of the Scott family and must be very busy. DreamKids is just a subsidiary company, so, he won't show up today.' Emily comforted herself. Looking at the huge office building in front of her, Diane was impressed. "Chris, this place is so nice." Diane was so excited that her face turned red. She hugged Chris and kissed him on the face, showing that she was very satisfied with this company. "Diane, you are already four years old. Don't kiss me like this." Chris wiped his face. "Chris, I'm only four. Why are you always so serious?" Diane said
Chris and Diane let go of Emily's hands until they left the company. "Mommy, I love you the most. You should love me the most too," Diane said seriously. "Mommy loves me the most," Chris said. Emily kissed their foreheads and said gently, "I love both of you with all my heart." "I know. I am so sweet. Mommy must love me very much," Diane replied with a satisfied smile. Chris pinched Diane's cheek. Diane cried out, "Chris!" Emily stopped Diane. "It's almost noon. Let's go have lunch. I have a good friend called Louise. I want you to meet her." In the restaurant, Louise saw Emily as soon as she entered. She had a bright smile on her face as she walked over and hugged Emily. "Emily, I missed you so much. I couldn't believe it was you when I saw you at the engagement party yesterday," Louise choked. "Everyone said that you died. I don't believe that and have been looking for you for a long time." Louise and Emily grew up together and were very close. Louise was ver
When Diane woke up, she saw Emily sitting by the bed and looking at her. "Mommy?" Diane whispered. "Sweetie, you finally woke up. How do you feel now? Do you want some water?" Emily asked as she helped Diane sit up. Diane felt dizzy. "Mommy, I feel my stomach is a little upset. What happened to me?" "Diane, do you remember what happened back then?" Emily stroked her hair gently. Diane had just woken up and did not know what had happened. She looked confused. "I remember that Mr. Clown gave me a balloon. The fairy printed on the balloon was very similar to Mommy, and then..." Diane frowned and tried hard to think back. "Mommy, was I kidnapped? How much did they ask for?" Diane asked seriously. Diane was like a small miser. She knew it wasn't easy for her mother to make money and wouldn't give the money to the kidnappers. Diane wouldn't forget about it. "Stupid Diane." Chris came through the door and heard Diane's last sentence. He walked to Diane and gently knocke
Derek stood up and walked to Emily. He rubbed Aaron's head. "Aaron spoke for the first time when he saw you. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination," Derek said to Emily. "Aaron stays in this ward every time he comes, so..." Emily nodded. "Has Aaron's examination results come out yet?" Emily couldn't help asking. She seemed to really care about Aaron. "Just like before, he is OK. However, he is willing to talk to others now. This is a good sign." Derek's gaze fell on Aaron. "Come home with me," Aaron said to Emily once again. This was already the third time he said so. 'Aaron is very persistent in bringing me home,' Emily thought to herself. Chris was unhappy when he heard this. He ran to Emily, pulled Aaron away, and threw himself into Emily's arms. "Emily is me and Diane's mommy. We're a family, so we're going home together," Chris said domineeringly. Emily rarely saw Chris being agitated, but between Aaron and Chris, she would choose Chris without
Emily did not answer Derek immediately. She thought for a moment and said, "I can help Aaron, but I'm not sure if I can cure him since I'm not a doctor." "Also, I can go to the Scott's often, but I won't live there," Emily added. "Deal." Derek knew that Emily would not agree to be Aaron's nanny. However, he was willing to take a step back since she was special to Aaron. She could make Aaron feel better. Then Derek looked at Aaron. "Let's go home." Aaron, however, kept looking at Emily. "Aaron, I need to take care of Diane now. In a few days, I'll go to your house to see you, okay?" Emily crouched. Aaron nodded. "And Ian." Ian was happy since Aaron also cared about him. "Alright, I'll go to your house to see you and Ian," Emily laughed. Derek nodded at Emily and Louise before leaving with Aaron and Ian. Emily closed the door and saw Louise was still standing there. "Louise, what's wrong?" Emily found it strange. "Emily, I didn't know that you've been through
"Emily? Why are you here?" Rose shouted in surprise. Emily heard Ian cry. She had just brought Aaron down the stairs when she saw Rose bullying Ian. Emily hurriedly stopped Rose. When Emily walked into the living room, she saw Ian standing there. He was crying, and Emily felt like her heart was going to break. She hugged Ian. "Ian, it's alright. Don't be afraid." Emily then turned to Rose. Her tone was stern. "Rose, Ian is your son! How can you treat him like this? You are not worthy of being a mother!" Emily loved Chris and Diane very much, so she could not understand why Rose was so mean to Ian. Because of Emily's comfort, Ian stopped crying. He could feel Emily's concern for him. He leaned his head on Emily's shoulder and wished that Emily was his mother. "Ian, I am your mother. I will marry Derek in the future, and we will be a family!" Rose said angrily. She felt that Ian and Emily were so annoying. "You can marry Derek, but you shouldn't use Aaron and Ian. Th
"Derek, Rose is right. You hired me. I'm in no position to give opinions on your family issues. I protected Aaron and Ian out of duty." Emily did not want to argue with Derek anymore since he would not believe anything she said. "Time is up. I need to go home now. Bye, Derek. Say goodbye to Aaron and Ian for me," Emily left in a hurry because she did not want to spend another minute with this arrogant man. Derek didn't stop Emily. As a father, he was only trying to protect Aaron and Ian. When Derek returned to the room, Aaron and Ian turned their heads away and didn't want to look at him. They were not happy with Derek because he misunderstood Emily. Derek thought, 'Raising children is a lot harder than running a company.' He picked up the boys and put them on the bed. Derek lay next to them. He kissed Aaron and Ian on the head. "I know you don't like Rose and she isn't a good mother, but..." "But she is our mother. Is that what you are going to say?" Ian whispered.
