Chapter 1661 Misunderstanding

She fell silent for a second before clearing her throat awkwardly. “I have no idea what you guys are

talking about. Let me know where you guys are! My stocks have been rising recently, so I’ll treat you all

to a good meal!”

After that, she hung up.

Short and sweet, without giving me the chance to mock her again.

I quickly sent her our location on WhatsApp. As I typed on the phone, I started jokingly ranting to

Summer. “I don’t know much about how you want to go about this business, but as far as Aunt Emery

goes, you don’t have to worry. (get daily update on chapter.com) She just has a harsh way of

speaking, but she’s a great person. She didn’t say much, but she’s already thought about how to help

you out the most she can, so she won’t bring you any trouble. When we meet up later, just talk about

anything you need to talk to her about. Don’t worry too much about both of us.”

“I know,” Summer said with a big smile. “I wasn’t planning on worrying about her anyway. Even if she

wasn’t looking for me, I was going to go look for her. Mommy, I want Uncle Holden and Aunt Emery to

join the center.”

This time, she was telling me her own decision and not asking for any input.

I stopped typing for a second before sending the message.

After placing my phone back into my bag, I turned to look at Summer with a smile. “Do as you please. I

will always support you. Besides, even if I actually disagree one day, your dad will always be willing to

help!”

Only later did I hear from Ashton that he started sneezing randomly out of nowhere in the office with a

dark expression, causing his staff to stop breathing in fear.

If the staff knew what happened, they would probably be cursing me silently for talking about him

behind his back like that. (get daily update on chapter.com) It was scary enough working with

Ashton, but getting a little surprise every now and then was just the cherry on top.

The three of us ladies were buying things left and right. Emery seemed determined to spend as much

as possible today, especially after the little misunderstanding we had. If Summer or I looked at

something for over ten seconds, Emery was already at the counter waving her card to buy it. She was

obviously trying to mend her mistakes, even if we didn’t think she needed to.

After our shopping spree, we went to a nearby shopping mall to eat.

“This restaurant has great desserts. Their chefs are all from France, and their recommended desserts

are amazing. Don’t forget to bring some home for Audrey!” Emery said before she ordered two things

and passed the menu over to me.

I ordered something that seemed to be rather interesting and turned to ask what Summer wanted but

realized she was looking somewhere else distractedly.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, nudging her with my elbow.

Summer paused before looking back at me. With a puzzled expression on her face, she said, “I think I

just saw Quince and Lucas.”

“Really?” I instinctively looked in the direction that Summer had been staring at but failed to see anyone

who matched their looks. “You might have just mistaken someone else for them. K City is huge, so

there’s no reason for you to suddenly see them here.”

“Who?” Emery asked in confusion.

“Two of your business rivals,” I said lightheartedly.

“Are you trying to mock me?” Emery said as she crossed her arms over her chest and continued

confidently, “Holden is the only one who dares to go head to head with me since he’s not from around

here. Apart from him, who else in K City could possibly be my rival?”

“What if those two also happen to be from outside the city?” (get daily update on chapter.com) I

halfheartedly replied as I read through the menu, trying to pick some dishes that Summer would enjoy.

“Really? Damn, these foreigners are pretty nosy.” Emery knocked on the table unhappily before looking

at Summer. “Summer, you’re not actually going to just work with some outsiders instead of me, are

you?”

Summer smiled gently. “How about we sign the contract right after eating so that you don’t have to

worry anymore?”

Emery clearly hadn’t expected that. She had just been kidding, but at the sight of Summer’s serious

expression, she was taken aback. “You’re kidding, right? Are you really picking me?” (get daily update

on chapter.com)

“She’s serious,” I said with a smile as I closed the menu and put it back on the table. “She was going to

ask you from the start! She was just too busy to go and find you, and you were too hesitant to come

and find her, which is why the whole misunderstanding happened in the first place.”
