Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
After the p**ss conference, Eric took Emma and Bertha back to Hyatt Regency.
“Help mom freshen up while I prepare some food for the two of you.” Eric gently patted Emma’s head and warned, “Today, I’ll let you cry…but, only today.”
Emma nodded her head and pulled Bertha towards her wardrobe, “Mom, you can wear my clothes for now.”
Bertha scanned her eyes across the couple’s home. It was such a huge villa, yet it did not feel cold and empty. Even though only two people lived in it, it gave one the feeling that it was thoughtfully put together. As she looked at a photo of the couple, Bertha calmed down and praised, “Emma, you and Eric match each other very well.”
“By the way, why is he the one that is cooking?”
“He makes dinner whenever he’s not too busy. Plus, he doesn’t like to see me enter the kitchen because he wants to protect my legs.” Emma pulled out a set of home clothes and handed them to Bertha, “If you like it here, you should move over.”
“This is your home, how could I intrude? Plus, I already have somewhere I can stay anyway…” Bertha sighed as she held onto Emma’s hand. “My daughter is so capable and she has an adoring husband. Mom has no other wish except to lay eyes on some grandchildren in this lifetime…”
“They will come eventually,” Emma smiled as she replied. “Go have a bath. After you’re done, come out and eat; Eric cooks really well.”
“I never imagined, the almighty CEO of Kaleidoscope – a person that is cold and serious – would actually be so domesticated.”
“Behind all that facade, he is but an ordinary man that requires the warmth of home,” Emma giggled. “Stay here tonight. I’ll sleep with you.”
“What about Eric?”
“He can sleep by himself…”
“Why do I feel like my daughter is bullying ‘someone’?”
“Since I have ‘someone’ in this lifetime that I am allowed to bully, I should make good use of the opportunity.” After speaking, Emma pushed her mother into the bathroom, “Mom, no matter what you decide to do, I will support you and stay by your side. But, don’t push yourself too hard.”
“I know,” Bertha entered the bathroom and took a deep breath as she cheered for herself.
Regardless of everything else, at least Emma was once again by her side…
She now had a daughter and a son-in-law…
After her mother entered the bathroom, Emma headed downstairs. She quietly tiptoed behind Eric and wr*pped her arms around his waist, “Today sure has been a mess.”
“Still upset?” Eric asked as he continued to prepare dinner; his movement not restricted by her hug.
“I have the most important people by my side, how could I be upset?” Emma replied with a raspy voice as a tear rolled out of her eye and seeped into Eric’s shirt. “But, for some reason, I want to cry. I think it’s because you’ve always stayed by my side and stuck with me through thick and thin, so…I feel touched!”
“I’ve already gotten used to it…” Eric replied.
“Eric…hug me for a little longer.”
“Come to the front,” Eric pulled Emma to the front of his body and hugged her from behind as he rested his head on her shoulder. “Is this better?”
“Much better,” Emma nodded her head as the corners of her l*ps curved upwards, “I feel nice and warm…”
After freshening up, Bertha originally wanted to ask Emma where the hairdryer was. But, as she stood in the doorway of the kitchen looking at the cute couple, she kept her mouth shut and decided not to disturb them…
How could anyone disturb such a beautiful sight?
Half an hour later, some simple but tasty dishes were placed on the dining table.
Bertha looked at the dishes and smiled, “It seems Eric has put a lot of effort into learning how to cook for your sake.”
“He’s always known how to cook…” Emma pulled her mother over to sit down, but of course, she didn’t forget to emphasize her innocence, “His cooking simply improved after we got married. Here mom, try some.”
Bertha nodded her head. Although she had always thought of Eric as a cold and unapproachable person, after seeing the way the couple interacted, she suddenly understood that Eric only acted that way in front of other people. In front of family, he was a true man that took good care of Emma.”
“What do you think?”
“It’s delicious!” Bertha praised. “But, as a wife, you need to take note of Eric’s difficulties. Look at him. He has to manage a business, he has to manage you and…” she suddenly stopped. Laughing at herself, she continued, “What I’m trying to say is, make sure to be thoughtful towards him.”
“She is a good wife.”
“Look, he even said it.”
Bertha was speechless, but it had been decades since she experienced such happiness. Today, she was able to eat dinner with her daughter and son-in-law and she was able to have a casual conversation with loved ones.
Thinking of this, Bertha wanted to cry again. But Emma held onto her hand and said, “Since you’ve made your decision, don’t ever regret it. The road ahead may not be worse than the road behind.”
“OK. Hurry and eat, we still have a meeting with the Miller Family later tonight.”
Needless to say, Bertha intended to get a divorce with Floyd (for the second time). But of course, this time she was going to leave with some of the Miller Family shares…
“Don’t worry, I’ve already booked the meeting place and notified the Miller Family.”
Bertha nodded her head. Eric was indeed a capable person who did everything effectively.
“Hurry and eat..”
“After dinner, you don’t need to keep me company. Go do what you need to do. I will wander around on my own.”
Emma smiled and did not force her.
Meanwhile, Bertha was still in shock. She had originally thought that the almighty CEO of Kaleidoscope would have a house full of servants. But, instead she was treated to a simple homecooked meal.
After dinner, Bertha wandered down to the garden for some fresh air while Eric returned to the study room to work and Emma sat on the sofa reading her script.
With her mother around, Emma’s determination to act well in ‘WH’ increased.
Her mother had sacrificed herself so she could have freedom to be an actress. At the same time, Eric also sacrificed a lot for her.
For the sake of the people she loved, she was going to prove herself and become a top actress.
As for Elodie, she had suffered too much damage today…
She had always thought of herself as high and mighty; so high that no one could reach her. But, it was not until everything happened that she realized she was like mud that got stepped all over!
As Emma thought of the jewelry box her mother gave her, she guessed that her mother had definitely considered giving up on everything…
It was just like the moment she discovered Nathan and Amber cheating. In the spur of the moment, she had once considered ending her own life. But, she quickly realized that she shouldn’t waste her precious life on people that weren’t worth it!
That night, she couldn’t wait to see the exp**ssion on Elodie’s face. But, could Elodie be so ashamed that she wouldn’t even have the courage to show up?
It was a rainy night.
Eric organized a luxury car for the mother and daughter to arrive at the hotel.
After shedding herself of the sadness and having Emma by her side, Bertha appeared a lot brighter than before. A person’s presence was determined by what lay beneath the surface. For example, a kind-hearted person would appear calm and unaffected, like a Chrysanthemum flower with exceptional elegance.
