Chapter 579 - Future Wife (1)

The second time?

Emily looked at him with confusion. She didn't recall having seen him before.

She thought he might be one of her forgotten friends.

...

"Mister, where's the bathroom?" she asked as she walked over to him cautiously.

Kason expressionlessly pointed her the way with his chin, "Over there."

Emily thanked him and ran over.

When she washed her hands after coming out of the bathroom, she found a branch stretched out from the other side of the wall. On the branch grew a few apples.

Since she was extremely hungry and embarrassed to ask that white-haired mister for food, she went up to the wall and stood on tiptoes to pick an apple.

Although she felt this action was wrong, she couldn't stop herself. She comforted herself, 'When mom comes here, she'll pay for me.'

She thought she would be too short to reach the apple. Yet she got an apple the moment she tiptoed. It was not until then did she realize that she was much taller than she had thought she was. And she also remembered that she found herself as tall as her mother while she thought she was only at her waist.

She took two apples and gave one to Kason after washing them. "Sorry that I pick your apples. I'll pay you when my mom comes. Would you like one?"

Kason's eyesight fell on the apple indifferently.

Just as Emily thought he was going to refuse, he accepted the apple and said thanks to her.

"You're welcome." Emily's hostility toward him completely disappeared. She walked away with the apple and ate it within a minute.

After finishing this apple, she still felt hungry.

However, she had taken the only two apples that stuck out of the wall. After thinking a while, she took a stool and stepped on it to pick apples on the other side. As she tried to fetch apples, she saw a little girl standing in the yard who had silver hair and stood on bare feet.

Seeing the girl looking at her, Emily immediately squatted down. Not long after, she stood up again and said to her, "I'm sorry, I will pay for the apples."

But the girl just silently looked at her. Emily couldn't tell if she understood the apology.

Emily noticed that she seemed to be looking at her hair. Thus she pinched a strand of hair and asked, "Are you looking at my hair?"

The girl still remained silent.

It was rare for Emily to see a girl who was "the same age" as her here, so she wanted to befriend her. However, being in a strange place alone made her very cautious about making any decision. Therefore, she could only apologize to the girl again, "My mom will pay for your apples as soon as she gets here. I promise."

Suddenly, an eagle's cry came from the sky. Emily looked up and saw a giant bird flying towards her. She hugged her head in fear and squatted down. Then she saw it fly up again and plunge towards the little girl.

Emily immediately stood up and shouted at the girl, "Run!"

But the girl returned her a puzzled look.

Emily then called out to Kason, "Mister, please save her!"

She was so anxious and afraid that she almost cried.

But no one moved, except for the eagle. It was getting closer and closer to the girl.

The moment its claws were about to land on the girl, Emily jumped off the chair and picked up a stone from the ground to throw at it. She shouted at the bird, "Come here! Don't hurt her! Come here! I'm not afraid of you!"

Seeing this, Kason wore a faint smile. But he returned to the expressionless state when he heard the footsteps at the door.

It was Pablo.

Concentrating on that eagle, Emily didn't notice his appearance. She found it had no intention to grasp anyone. After rounding above that girl, the eagle flew up to the sky again.

Only then did she stand on the stool and said, "It's all right now. Don't be afraid, I have already driven the bird away."

Hearing this, Pablo was shocked and amused while the girl still looked at her confusingly without a single word.

Her behavior made Emily doubt if she was a little silly.

Just as she was hesitating whether she should climb over to comfort her, she heard the eagle let out a cry again. The bird flew back and plunged towards the man behind her.

It was not until then did she finally discover that a group of people showed up and stood behind her.
