Chapter 91 - Time

At the Scavo's.

At the end of the banquet, the butler thanked the guests and distributed small birthday presents before they left.

Emily sat in the study on the second floor. Rex handed her a timetable, which planned every minute and even second of her day, including the balance portion of her diet. It could be said to be comprehensive.

She stared at it row by row and did not quite understand why it also included Sanda. She could only look up at the man who was sitting at the desk typing on the computer and said, "I also need to learn Sanda?"

Vincent raised his head from the flickering screen and looked at her with a deep gaze. He snorted, "Yes."

But in his mind, he thought of her thin and soft waist that could not bear a gentle grip. If it was on the bed, it could be crushed with a single effort.

Emily did not know what was on his mind. She only thought for a moment before nodding her head in agreement. Then, she looked at the schedule for the evening. It was almost all about mathematics and physics teaching. Because her foundation was too poor, she had to learn from the beginning. Rex specially brought her the first-grade math exam paper.

"..."

Emily looked at the paper and raised her head to squeeze out a smile at Rex, "Thank you for your hard work."

Rex smiled, "not at all."

Emily thought for a moment, then lowered her head and calmed herself down to answer the questions. She knew that Rex was testing her foundation.

Mr. Rolando pretended to be sick in bed, and only after hearing the butler say that the guests had dispersed did he came down for a midnight snack. After returning, he was puzzled as to why his grandson could fall for a little girl without a word and keep her in his room.

He sneaked to the study and shushed at the guard by the door.

The guard by the door twitched their eyebrows, but they didn't inform anyone. They just silently moved their gaze away and pretended not to see him.

Mr. Rolando opened the door and saw this scene: Vincent was sitting at his desk and typing on his computer, and opposite a small table sat a little girl. Her long silk-like hair was draped over her back shoulders. She had her head down and a pen in hand, writing something seriously. The lamp fell on the two of them. This picturesque scene only reminded people of two words-peaceful time.

Rex was taking out the cup when he met Mr. Rolando's eyes. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, but they both looked away and walked in the opposite direction as if they hadn't seen each other.

After Emily finished writing, she handed over the exam paper to Rex and continued to work on the next second-grade paper. She raised her head and looked at Vincent unintentionally. Half of the man's face was blocked by the computer, only revealing a pair of eyes, sharp, serious, and earnest. His dark and stern eyebrows slightly twisted and brow bones were drawn together, making his eyes even sharper. He was like a leopard waiting for prey, full of aggressiveness.

It was the first time she had seen him working. She had not expected it to be like this.

She slightly distracted for a moment, then heard Rex ask, "Miss Emily?"

"Huh?"

"What are you staring at Mr. Vincent for?" He asked.

Hearing their conversation, Vincent looked up from his computer.

Emily unexpectedly noticed that her ears were a little hot. She reached out to her ears. When she met Vincent's faintly smiling eyes, her voice became a little softer. "Just a casual look."

"Miss Emily, I've finished correcting your paper. You don't pass the first-grade exam. Let's start from the beginner level. This is your book." Rex handed over a book.

Emily turned over it seriously. Vincent stood up, took a tie from the drawer and walked step by step to Emily. She looked at him uncertainly with his reflection in her clear black eyes.

He lowered his head, gathered all her hair in his palm, tied it up with the tie, then touched her ears, which had not yet cooled down, and returned to the desk.

Emily touched the tie behind her head and smiled at Vincent.

Rex, "..."

I would rather be under the table than be here seeing how sweet you are...

At 9:30, Rex packed the books and went out. He then came in with the hot milk and midnight snacks from the butler. After putting them on the table, he quietly escaped.

After Vincent finished dealing with his business, he casually opened a stock chart and then looked at Emily, "Come here and drink the milk first."

Emily put down the pen and drank the milk on the table before she went around the front table and went to Vincent's side. There was only a chair in front of the desk. She intended to stand by him but was pulled onto his lap and sat down.

"I'll teach you to read K-charts."

The guards at the door stretched their necks and peeked. After Rex came back, he gave them each a kick, "What are you looking at!"

The guards stood upright for a second.

Rex was about to open the door and enter when he saw the little Hulk sitting on Vincent's lap. They stared at the computer and talked, while Vincent was feeding her.

Rex, "..."

Vincent was no longer what he used to be.

The moon outside the window was hazy, and a cool night breeze was blowing, like the gentle whispers of the lovers.

After Eliot Britt returned home, he told Maury Britt about Emily being left by the Scavos. Maury was extremely surprised. Not to mention him, even Beverly and Elsie Britt dropped their jaws in shock.

"Why?" They asked in unison.

Because Emily hadn't returned, the two of them had been waiting upstairs. When Eliot returned alone this time, Elsie thought that she had had something on that idiot. She couldn't wait to come down and tell her off. When she heard what Eliot said, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue!

"It's said that Emily saved Mr. Rolando. Mr. Rolando thought she was well behaved, so he kept her and wanted her to stay for a few days."

Eliot lay on the sofa exhausted. He had already washed his hands halfway and took off his jacket. No one could tell that he had fought, but the joints of his right hand were bleeding.

"It's unreasonable!" Beverly cried out in shock. Then, she realized that her voice was too loud and she silently shrunk back. "Emily is still young. They are both unmarried and now they live in the same house. What if someone gossips...?"

"Yes, yes!" Elsie echoed, "Brother, why did you agree? What about Mr. Vincent? He also agreed?"

Eliot said exhaustively, "Mr. Vincent should have agreed. The one who came out to speak was his assistant."

Beverly was completely speechless.

There was something wrong when Mr. Vincent sent Emily back last time. This time, he even didn't object to Emily staying in the Scavo's. There must be something wrong! Definitely!

"No wonder." When Maury Britt heard this news, he didn't care that Elsie and Beverly were also in the living room. Normally, when these two people saw him, they would hide from him like mice from a cat.

"What's the matter?" Eliot asked.

"Two clients just called and asked if we had any intention of cooperating." Maury Britt revealed a rare smile. "I thought you found the source of the clients, but I didn't expect it was because of the Scavos."

Eliot didn't say anything. He had indeed scattered a lot of business cards tonight, but their attitude was written on their face. There should be few people willing to cooperate. Even if there were some, it should be accredited to the Scavo's banquet. After all, it was them who had invited him.

"I'm tired.. I'll go wash up and sleep first."
