Chapter 329: What if Something Happens to the Baby
Penerjemah: 549690339
Emily was helpless, she knew it wouldn’t be that simple.
“I need to buy some personal items, are you sure you’re the one who’s going to help me purchase them?” She rarely looked serious, Clayton Howard was, after all, just a subordinate of Baron Stuart’s. Presumably, if she insisted on going out, he wouldn’t dare to stop her, right?
Upon hearing this, Clayton Howard was taken aback. Lady Carter probably would insist on going, so he would have to report this to the young master.
“Lady Carter, please wait a moment.”
After saying this, he took out his cell phone, ready to call Baron Stuart.
However, as if Emily knew he was going to inform Baron Stuart, she quickly snatched the phone out of his hand.
What a joke. If he found out, she wouldn’t be able to leave at all!
“Lady Carter, please don’t put me in a difficult situation,” Clayton Howard pleaded earnestly.
“I’m not putting you in a difficult position. He’s in the UK right now, totally unaware of the current situation. If I insist on going out now, you’ll probably try to use physical force to stop me,” Emily said, gently resting her hand on her belly, “As soon as you lay a hand on me, there’s always a chance you might hurt the baby. If anything happens to the baby, how are you going to explain it to him?”
Emily decided to use a little cunning, she refused to believe that he’d still dare to stop her if she used the baby as a threat.
Sure enough, Clayton Howard was threatened by her words.
He understood very well the positions of Lady Carter and the baby in the mind of the young master. If anything really happened, even if he was trustworthy, the young master would definitely choose to believe her, not him.
Furthermore, his very purpose of staying was to protect her. If something went wrong just because of this small incident, he would definitely be summarily executed by the young master!
“If you truly want to do your job well, why not just go out with me?” Emily suggested. Truth be told, she didn’t really want to cause any trouble for Clayton Howard.
All she wanted was to go out for a walk.
She wasn’t the kind of girl who enjoyed staying indoors. Being cooped up at home for several months would drive anyone crazy!
Bella Stuart, who was outside the door, saw the two of them struggling and couldn’t help but walk over. “Mr. Howard! We’re just going out to do some shopping, and with me there, you won’t have to worry about anything! If you’re really still worried, you can come with us, as long as you don’t follow us into the ladies’ restroom!”
She suddenly felt that being her brother’s girlfriend wasn’t easy, it was pretty much like being in jail.
Of course, with none of the comfortable confinement facilities and amenities!
After a moment of silence, Clayton Howard was caught between a rock and a hard place and finally compromised.
The three of them got into a black Lincoln, with Clayton Howard at the passenger seat, and headed off towards the city district.
The thought of buying all sorts of baby stuff made Bella Stuart all sorts of excited, making her restless during the entire journey!
Half an hour later, with their driver, the three of them entered a supermarket. Clayton Howard didn’t dare to leave the two of them for even a moment.
Finally, while Emily and Bella Stuart were busily picking out baby items, he still chose to dial Baron Stuart’s number.
However, after answering the call and hearing Clayton’s detailed explanation, Baron Stuart didn’t get angry but said calmly, “Stay close to them.”
Perhaps she really just wanted to go out and clear her mind, and Baron Stuart couldn’t bear to keep her cooped up in the house all day either.
“Yes.” While Clayton Howard was speaking on the phone, he never took his eyes off Emily and Bella Stuart, ensuring that they were safe at all times.
“I will be back in the country in an hour and arrive tonight.” Baron Stuart spoke again.
Clayton Howard was somewhat surprised; wasn’t he supposed to return tomorrow?
“Yes.”
After ending the call, Clayton Howard headed towards Emily and Bella Stuart.
At this time, the two ladies were completely fascinated by all the baby items and found them all amazing.
