Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Mandarin Duck Stone at the Collar
Translator: 549690339
A series of questions in Bella Stuart’s heart almost drove her mad, and she just wanted to know what the relationship was between the little girl and her brother!
Obviously displeased by his sister’s questioning, Baron Stuart looked at her coldly and remained silent without answering.
Upon encountering her brother’s gaze and expression, Bella Stuart unconsciously pursed her lips, feeling as though she had asked too many questions at once.
“I just want to know what’s going on between you and her…” Bella Stuart pouted discontentedly.
In the midst of Bella Stuart’s questioning, Emily Walker had already come over with the Mandarins Duck Milk Tea she had prepared.
“Enjoy.” After putting down the milk tea, Emily Walker was about to turn and leave.
But as soon as she turned her head, a relaxed voice came from behind her, “Wait a moment.”
Hearing this, Emily Walker clenched her teeth again, turned back, and smiled at Baron Stuart, “Is there anything else you need?”
She really didn’t know what this man wanted, with so many waiters around, but he had to call her!
“I remember you said last time that you would avoid me wherever I am?” Baron Stuart looked up at her, wanting to know what this woman would do today.
Upon hearing this, Emily Walker was stunned, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She knew that this man would bring up this matter to embarrass her, knowing that this was her workplace!
But right now, she didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, she wondered what would happen if she pretended to be ignorant?
“Sir, you must have remembered wrong. I don’t even know you.” She had no other choice for the sake of her job.
Hearing this, Baron Stuart dismissively lifted the corner of his mouth. Then, he raised his hand and brushed it over the collar of his pink shirt. With a gentle flick of his slender finger, the black thread on his chest was exposed, revealing a grayish mandarin duck stone.
Since Emily Walker was standing, she could see the mandarin duck stone hanging between his honey-colored chest with just a glance.
“Isn’t that?” Emily Walker stared wide-eyed at the mandarin duck stone on his collarbone. She remembered asking for it back last time, but he said he didn’t see it then. Now, he shamelessly wore her mandarin duck stone on his neck?
“Brother, what’s that thing on your neck? It looks so unique.” Baron Stuart’s casual gesture happened to be seen by Bella Stuart across the table, who also noticed the Mandarin Duck Stone on his collar.
From childhood to now, she had never seen her brother wear any pendant, and couldn’t help but be curious.
Baron Stuart looked up at his sister across the table, the corners of his mouth rising slightly, and said, “I bought it at a shopping mall a few days ago.”
Bought? How is that possible! Emily Walker looked at him incredulously. How could this man claim her things were bought!?
Even if someone else had the exact same mandarin duck stone as hers, the black thread couldn’t be the same, right? That was the thin rope she made herself!
“That… that’s my thing, how can you say it’s bought!” Emily Walker spoke up since it was the only thing left by her parents. No matter what, she wanted it back.
As soon as her words came out, the six eyes at the dining table all looked over, especially Bella Stuart and Leonardo Bryson, who were even more in disbelief.
Both of them couldn’t help but wonder. If the pendant really belonged to her, why would it be worn by Baron Stuart?
“Really? How are you going to prove this thing is yours? Also, you just said that we don’t know each other, right?” Baron Stuart looked at her, the corner of his mouth hinting at a smile..
