Chapter 379 - Boginyas Memories (1/2)
The next morning, Avaleigh and Emerson woke up nice and early and decided to have breakfast outside before they each headed to work. Thanks to Emerson, Avaleigh's career was saved (even though she was still unaware that he was the boss of AE Entertainment), so she had a busy schedule, but she never neglected her relationship with Emerson and never deliberately tried to hide it. Whenever the media asked her if she was in a relationship, she nodded her head with honesty, and whenever they asked her who her boyfriend was, she simply told them he wasn't in the entertainment industry and that she'd like them to respect her privacy. The media were persistent, but they were still human. Avaleigh had a good relationship with them and they saw how genuine she was, so naturally, they did not bother her. Besides, they had plenty of other gossip to chase, especially gossip involving celebrities that they didn't like.
That day, just as they stepped out of their apartment, Halia and Jackson happened to step out at the same time.
At first, Halia and Jackson did not see the couple.
Jackson had one arm around his wife's waist while he supported her with his other hand dotingly and he had an extremely loving look in his eyes. Even though they were married, his love for his wife never stopped growing.
Avaleigh looked at them with admiration. One day, she wanted to be just like them.
After her chat with Emerson the previous night, she was no longer jealous of Halia, instead, she wanted to be a good girlfriend that got along with his family. After all, she also hoped that Halia's baby would be 'their' future nephew/niece. So, she saw this as an opportunity to get to know the couple better and stepped forward with a friendly smile, ”Oh, what a coincidence!”
She then glanced at Emerson lovingly and said, ”Emerson and I are heading out to have some breakfast. Would you like to join us?”
Emerson smiled at Avaleigh with satisfaction. This was the kind and understanding woman that he had fallen in love with.
But, to their surprise, Jackson actually turned down their invite, ”We have something important to do today. Perhaps, another time.”
He then glanced at Emerson with deep meaning, checked his watch, and said, ”We've got to get going. See you around.”
Emerson immediately knew that his suspicions had been right. They were definitely back because of an important mission and they were probably heading to Interpol at that very moment. Otherwise, Jackson's words wouldn't be so mysterious and cryptic. But, Avaleigh stood there dumbfounded as Jackon hurried his wife into the elevator. Before she got the chance to respond, the elevator door closed and they disappeared from their sight.
Avaleigh stretched out her hand when she realized what had happened, ”Wait...”
She then looked at Emerson with disappointment, ”We could have caught the same elevator, at least...”
Emerson patted his girlfriend on the head and laughed. He was used to the unconventional actions of this mysterious couple, but Avaleigh needed some time to adjust to it.
”What could have been that important that they didn't even have time for breakfast?” Avaleigh pouted. ”The baby needs to eat too...”
Emerson laughed and kissed the cute woman on the lips. He wanted to tell her the truth about his brother and sister-in-law, but what could he say? He couldn't possibly tell her that Halia and Jackson were probably out saving the world. So, he simply said comfortingly, ”They probably had breakfast already and are heading out for a check-up at the hospital. Don't forget that Halia is due in a couple of months. I'm sure they have a lot to prepare.”
Avaleigh's face relaxed and a smile finally returned to her face. ”You're right. That must be it. Now that I think about it, we should get them some gifts for the baby. Let's do some shopping after breakfast,” she suggested.
