Translator: 549690339
Tell her when it happened, and she’ll go try it out someday, as it seems to have a pretty good taste.
Baron Stuart paused in the middle of signing, his gaze lifted slightly, as if his thoughts had drifted to another place.
After a moment, he finally spoke up, seeming dazed, “I haven’t tried it.”
Hearing this, Bella Stuart frowned in disappointment, as she had initially thought that her brother had already tried it and would tell her the address.
She never expected that he hadn’t tried it at all.
Why did he ask Camila Walker to cook it then? Was it just to… mess with Camila Walker?
Hmm, that was a possibility!
“Oh…” Bella Stuart sat on the sofa hugging a pillow, swinging her legs lightly, then changed the topic. “By the way, brother, have you met with Emily Walker? How’s her health?” Upon mentioning this, Bella Stuart lowered her face and mumbled to herself, “Losing so much blood all at once, I wonder if she has recovered yet…”
She spoke naturally, not seeming to be talking to Baron Stuart at all.
However, upon hearing this topic, Baron Stuart’s hand, browsing the file folder, paused once more.
He put down the document in his hand, raised his cold face, and looked at Bella
Stuart sitting on the sofa, his voice deep, “Go back to your room and sleep.”
“…” Bella Stuart raised her head, wondering what’s wrong with her elder brother?
Alright, it seemed that she was disturbing his work!
Reluctantly, she left Baron Stuart’s study room and returned to her own room. As soon as she entered, the cell phone on her bed rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, which showed it was from Leonardo Bryson, and immediately answered with excitement.
Thankfully, her elder brother asked her to return to the room; otherwise, she would have missed Leonardo Bryson’s call!
Thus, Bella Stuart who was bored chatted with Leonardo Bryson until late at night before going to sleep.
Early the next morning, Baron Stuart, as usual, got up on time. Although he is recovering at home, he still maintains his habit of waking up on time every day.
After changing his shirt and washing up, Baron Stuart went downstairs for breakfast.
During breakfast, Bella Stuart suddenly discovered something.
She sat facing Baron Stuart and asked with confusion, “Brother, where is your pendant? Did you return it to Emily…” Catching herself before finishing, Bella Stuart quickly glanced at her mother, who was sitting nearby.
Mother seemed to dislike Emily Walker, so this matter should be kept from her.
For the past few days, she had seen her brother wearing the mandarin duck stone pendant. Why was it missing today?
Hearing her words, Baron Stuart’s chewing motion paused only to respond indifferently, “I threw it away.”
“…” What? He threw it away? Bella Stuart looked bewildered.
Wasn’t that thing Emily Walker’s? Why did he throw it away?
“Brother, why did you throw it away? That thing belonged to Emily…” Again, stopping mid-sentence, Bella Stuart glanced at her mother.
Vivian Ferguson seemed to have caught on to something, and inquired curiously, “What mandarin duck stone?”
“Nothing, just a pendant I bought a while ago. I didn’t like it, so I just threw it away.” And with that, Baron Stuart continued eating his breakfast with a cold expression.
Bella Stuart slowly chewed her food, looking at her brother.
Something was wrong, something was abnormal about her brother, there must be a problem!
After breakfast, Baron Stuart got up and returned to his room on the second floor.
Upon entering the room, his gaze involuntarily went towards the trash can where the mandarin duck stone was thrown away yesterday.
However, as his eyes swept across, the trash can from last night was now completely empty…
He jolted, his eyebrows furrowing slightly..
