Chapter 330 - A Woman In Emersons Apartment? (2/2)
Daniel crossed his arms and did not say a word. Although he acted like he didn't care, he knew it was something he had to do if he wanted to live with his parents. Like any other child, he did not want to be separated from his parents. He had already lived with his grandparents for too many years; he did not want to live that life again.
Daniel was young, but he understood a lot more than people thought. For many years, he was upset that his mother abandoned him with his grandparents while she went to marry an old man for money. But, during this week that she spent with Danson, he had overheard a lot of things and started to understand his mother even though she had made things extremely complicated...
So, when he met Emerson for the first time that afternoon, he greeted obediently, ”Hi, my name is Daniel. I am Danson's stepbrother.”
Emerson looked at the little boy and raised an eyebrow. Stepbrother? He knew better than anyone whose child this was. Danson had confided in him before he left and said he was going to Singapore to find Marissa and his son.
”It's OK, Daniel,” Danson quickly corrected as he stood outside the door of Emerson's apartment. ”Uncle Emerson knows you're my son. He's the only person we can trust with this secret.”
Danson had mentioned he was rushing back to Hong Kong, but when he got back, he couldn't get a hold of Emerson so he called his assistant and his assistant told him he was at his apartment sorting out a plumbing issue. Thus, Danson arrived at his doorstep unexpectedly.
Daniel looked at Emerson and slowly nodded his head in understanding as Marissa watched Danson give Emerson a brotherly hug. Her eyes opened wide in surprise. Was she seeing things? When did their relationship improve so much? Before she left Hong Kong, they were still like strangers.
When she first learned about Mimi's death, it was through a rerun of the press conference on television. She remembered seeing Emerson represent Magnolia PR and thinking it was a bit strange. At that time, she simply thought he was doing it as an urgent favor. After all, they were in such a rush to get back, she didn't get the chance to ask about the details. Who knew these two best friends had suddenly reconciled.
”Ems, I'm sorry you had to deal with this,” Danson frowned. He knew how busy Emerson was and he felt bad for troubling him with such a huge incident. Before he left Hong Kong, he had promised him that he didn't need to do much apart from attending a few meetings. But, as it turned out, the low key Emerson ended up appearing at two important press conferences and was all over the news, television, and internet.
Marissa punched Danson on the arm, ”Why did you trouble Emerson with this? Don't you know how busy he is? How are you ever going to make it up to him?”
Even though Marissa and Danson were a secret couple, she had a habit of sticking up for Emerson.
But, just as she said this, a woman's scream could be heard coming from Emerson's bathroom. Marissa and Danson immediately looked at each other in surprise as Emerson ran back into the apartment. A woman? They had known Emerson for over a decade but they had never seen him with a woman...
They quickly followed Emerson into the apartment to see what was happening.
When they saw the woman standing in his bathroom, they both froze in surprise...
