Chapter 136 Emma And George(I)

[Inside the car]

"You okay?" Andrew kissed the back of her hand.

"Yeah, it's just—" Contemplating for a while, Rachael explained, "I feel relieved but anxious at the same time."

Things had officially come to an end with Oliver, this made her feel very relieved but for some reason, she felt a little anxious as well.

Letting go off something she had been holding onto for so many years wasn't easy. But she was glad Andrew was there with her. If not for him, she was sure she would have broken down. His presence gave her the strength to deal with everything and to cope up with it.

She placed her head on his shoulder and sighed, "I am just glad you are with me."

"I will always be with you." He kissed the top of her head.

"Let's go home." She pulled away. "I still want my massage."

[Watson Mansion]

As soon as Rachael and Andrew arrived home, George pulled his sister in a corner.

"I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" When he kept looking around, she raised her brows in suspicion. "Why are you being so secretive today?"

"Do you know where Emma is going for her date?"

"Emma is going on a date?" she questioned him back.

"You don't know?" When she shook her head, he frowned.

He had been waiting for Rachael to arrive home because he wanted to know where Emma is going for her date. But since she did not know, how was he supposed to find out?

"You are her best friend, how can you not know?" he snapped at her. He was getting very annoyed. She was her last hope.

"Hey, why are you lashing out on me?" she frowned. "Emma never told me anything about the date."

Thinking for a while, he inquired, "Does Tina know?"

"Maybe," Rachael shrugged.

"Can you call and ask her?" When she gave him a weird look, he added, "Please."

"Why do you wanna know?" She crossed her arms in the front and raised her brows. She had never seen George like this.

"Why do you wanna know why I wanna know?" he frowned. "Stop being so nosy and tell me where she went."

"For the last time, I don't know." Without waiting for his reply, she walked away.

...

Looking at the shopping bags, Reeta widened her eyes in shock. "That's a lot of bags, did you both buy the whole store?"

If you guys don’t read this on NOvElB(i)n(.)cOm and read somewhere else, Ain will HWUNT u and KWILL you!

When Rachael arrived, she couldn't help but scold her. "Rach, what have I told you about your reckless shopping habit?"

"Didn't she get it from you?" Michael remarked.

When Reeta glared at him, he added, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree honey."

"It's not reckless shopping mom," Rachael defended herself. "It's everything that we need and it's not just mine, Andrew bought some clothes too."

"Alright, you both should go and rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."

After both of them left, Reeta was about to enter the kitchen when she saw George grumpily standing in a corner.

"What happened to you now? Why do you look so grumpy?" When he did not say anything, she asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want some snacks?"

"No, I am fine," he answered before walking towards his room.

"What happened to him?" Michael frowned as he watched George storm away.

"I don't know," Reeta shrugged.

"Your son is becoming more and more weird everyday," he exclaimed. "I think it's time we find a suitable woman for him and get him married as well."

"Why are you so obsessed with arranging marriages for our kids?" she remarked. "Just because Rachael's arranged marriage is a success doesn't mean it will be the same every time."

"How bad can it be?" He questioned her back. "And do you really think George will voluntarily find someone on his own if we don't? He will die single."

"And how can you be so sure about it? What if he already has someone in his mind?" Without waiting for his reply, Reeta got up. "Don't underestimate my son so much, his skills are much better than yours."

"What do you mean?" Michael frowned.

"Well—" Reeta shrugged. "At least he isn't lingering around and pestering his father to find him a wife like you did."

Michael: " "

"If I hadn't pestered him, how would you find me?"

"I would have definitely found someone else," she stated. "You weren't the only man who approached me for marriage, there were many. You are lucky that I chose you."

Michael: " "

[George's room]

Left with no other choice, George decided to call Emma directly and ask her where she was going for the date but she did not answer his call.

He gritted his teeth and called her for the fourth time but the result was the same.

"Damn you Emma," he scowled as he tossed his phone on the bed. He was feeling very frustrated. And the thought of her going on a date with some other man was making him more mad and frustrated.

Contemplating for a while, he grabbed his phone again and sent her a message.

[George: Where are you going for the date?]

When he did not get a reply a few minutes after the message was delivered, he sent her another message.

[George: I know you are reading this. Please reply….]

And this time, she replied but that worsened his mood.

[Emma: Why do you wanna know where I am going? It doesn't concern you, does it? I am already late for the date. Don't call me over and over again, I am driving. I'll talk to you tomorrow]

Tightening his grip around the phone, he angrily tossed it aside. He was more angry now..not at her but at himself. He should have stopped her when he had the chance.

Though he had plans of showing up on her dating spot and taking her away with him, his plans had been completely ruined as he had no idea where she was.

Now all he could do was helplessly wait for her at home. But how could he stay calm knowing that she was probably having fun with some other man?

"Love is such a mysterious thing, don't you think?" Reeta remarked as she entered the room.
