Chapter 1205
At first, he was a bit peeved about Emily having a kid out of wedlock, but the moment he laid eyes on Kya, probably
some sort of blood tie, he was all in for this cute munchkin.
He was all googly eyed at Kya and then turned to Emily with a grin and said, “She’s just like you as a kid.”
Emily chuckled. “I can’t really see it.”
As they chatted, they walked into the house. Holding Kya, Elliott announced to the living room, “Ma, guess who’s
here?”
As soon as Gina spotted the baby in his arms, she beamed from ear to ear and hurried over, saying, “Kya, let me
hold you!”
Emily turned around and realized there was another person in the living room, and she froze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMartin also stood up, smiling amiably and saying, “This is your baby; she’s adorable!”
Emily was perplexed. “Dr. Martin, what are you doing here?”
Gina, cuddling Kya, winked at Emily and laughed, “Dr. Martin happened to be around and dropped by to check on
my recovery. He’s so thoughtful!” Emily got the hint and felt a bit guilty. “Sorry to bother you.”
Martin gazed at Kya and said, “What’s her name? She’s gorgeous, just like you!”
Emily chuckled awkwardly. “Her name’s Kya.”
Gina passed Kya on to Martin. Kya squirmed a bit and anxiously looked at Emily.
“Kya’s a bit shy!” Emily reached out to take Kya back.
‘T’ll hold her. Kya and I haven’t had enough fun yet!” Elliott nabbed Kya before she could.
The atmosphere was a tad awkward, but Martin showed no signs of leaving.
“Let’s wash the fruits you bought!” Gina, holding the fruits, led Emily towards the kitchen.
Once the kitchen door closed, Emily turned serious. “Mom, did you intentionally invite me over today?”
Her mom had mentioned on the phone that everyone would be at home, but she didn’t expect Martin to be there
too!
Gina was washing apples in the sink and reprimanded Emily: “Emily, do you think Dr. Martin came to see me
because he had nothing better to do?”
Emily dropped her gaze. “But I have no feelings for him!”
“Feelings can be cultivated! I think Dr. Martin is quite a catch. He’s a local; he owns two apartments; his father runs
a small business; his mother is retired; he himself graduated from a prestigious university; and he’s already a
deputy at such a young age; he has a promising future!” Gina whispered conspiratorially.
Emily was taken aback. “Mom, when did you find out all this?”
“I just had a chat with Dr. Martin, and it all came out.” Gina glanced at the door and chuckled. “He spilled
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeverything I asked. He’s obviously trying to reassure us.
Emily was speechless. No doubt, her mom invited her over today to play matchmaker with Martin.
She blurted out, “Mom, I have no intentions of dating anyone, let alone Dr. Martin. Please stop discussing this with
him. We don’t want to give him the wrong impression.”
Gina frowned at her and said, “Emily, don’t get ahead of yourself. You graduated from a prestigious university, but
you also have a child!”
She sighed, saying, “Mr. James is a good man, but he’s out of our league. Given our situation, Dr. Martin is quite a
catch. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about”
Emily washed the apples silently and said, “You’re overthinking this. Mr. James and I are just friends. I don’t look
down on Dr. Martin; I just don’t think I’m good enough for him. I know where I come from. Dad could come back
home any day with a ton of debt; I don’t even own a car or a house; I have no right to demand anything from
anyone!”
And she still owed Noreen 30 grand. Anyone who knew about her baggage would hightail it away from her!
