Chapter 1199 Emily Invited Estelle To Have Lunch Together (1/2)

At that moment, Emily came in from outside, followed by a strange woman.

When Emily saw her family in her office, she was obviously stunned. Then she opened her mouth to ask them, ”What are you guys doing here?” A second later, when she noticed that Beryl was pouting, Emily added, ”Beryl, what's wrong with you?”

”Daddy is teasing me!” Beryl moaned to Emily.

Emily glanced at Jacob, and he replied with a serious look on his face, ”No, I didn't!”

Beryl struggled out of Jacob's arms and then ran towards Emily. Looking at Jacob and Bowen, who were sitting across from her, Emily knew that they had been ganging up together to tease Beryl from the guilty expressions on their faces.

”Have you guys eaten yet?” Emily asked, hoping to ease the tension in her little family.

”Not yet. We were planning to go out for lunch,”

Jacob responded in a flat tone as he walked towards Emily and looked questioningly at the unknown woman behind her.

”Oh, I also haven't eaten yet. Let's go out to lunch together,” Emily suggested.

At this moment, Estelle, who was standing behind them, suddenly opened her mouth. ”Miss Bai, I will go upstairs.”

Upon hearing Estelle's voice, Emily called out to her. ”Estelle, wait a moment. You haven't had lunch either. Please join us!”

”Well, thank you very much. But I don't want to intrude on your time with your family. It wouldn't be appropriate. I am just...”

Estelle hurriedly refused Emily's kindness. Jacob was a well-known and highly successful businessman in Jingshi City. Additionally, Estelle was well-aware that Jacob was an exceptionally intelligent and savvy man, and she felt intimidated under his sharp gaze, like he could see right through her intentions. She was afraid that the longer she spent in his company, the more likely that she would give away her true identity. Just as the old saying went, ”An uneasy conscience is a hair in the mouth.”

She wasn't fully prepared yet. Hence, Estelle couldn't risk spending time with Jacob.

”Oh, that's okay. Please do join us for lunch!”

Emily said as she took Beryl in her arms and walked out of the room, not leaving Estelle any more chance to refuse her offer.

Jacob followed Emily with Bowen after taking a deep look at Estelle.

In the end, Emily chose a nearby Chinese restaurant known for its exceptionally good food and environment.

After entering the private room, Beryl and Bowen were much more content and happy. Although they couldn't eat at McDonald's today, they didn't care about it at all right now. It was a treat for them to spend some time with their parents, because they had really missed their parents lately. Due to their parents' work commitments, they both often worked long hours and the nannies took care of the children.
