Chapter 582 Vincent's Thoughts
Emily and Vincent walked towards us hand in hand. When I saw Vincent's face, I instinctively moved closer to Aaron
This tiny, almost imperceptible movement still caught Aaron's attention. He immediately stopped chatting with the person next to him and casually put his arm around my shoulder
The next second, when he saw Vincent walking towards us, his brows furrowed tightly, not hiding the disgust in his eyes
But perhaps it was because he had already prepared himself mentally, or maybe it was because he didn't want to stir up any waves on his daughter's birthday, Aaron ultimately just tightened the arm he had placed on my shoulder
and then lowered his head to instruct the maid beside him before the two of them approached
"Today, pay extra attention to that gentleman and make sure he doesn't get too close to the lady alone."
The maids never asked why, they just nodded and complied, providing me with the most thorough protection according to what Aaron said
This 1s also where my sense of security came from after I entered this mansion
However, even though I had known that Aaron would do this, his immediate reaction to my small gesture just now still made my heart soften
Perhaps out of gratitude, or perhaps to show
Vincent how affectionate my husband and I were, in any case, at the moment when he and Emily stopped, I also reached out and held Aaron's hand, intimately leaning against him, and then greeted the person in front of us with a smile
"Welcome, Emily, Vincent."
This name disgusted me, but I still had to pretend as if nothing had happened
Just like Aaron, I didn't want any blemishes to appear at our daughter's first birthday party throughout her life
Luckily, Emily was foolish and naive enough
She seemed completely oblivious to the increasingly ugly expression on the man's face beside her, and instead excitedly raised her head
towards me, handing over the gift with a hint of condescending pride
"Vincent originally said he wasn't feeling well, but I really wanted to come and congratulate you, so he accompanied me. It seems like this party has been prepared quite well, Olive
However, I really didn't expect that you are already a mother and yet still so attached to Aaron. I thought women would focus solely on their children after becoming mothers."
Emily's gaze fell on the side where Aaron and I were tightly pressed together. I saw a slight stiffness in Vincent's arm as she held onto it
Unable to help myself, I let out a cold laugh and retorted
"As you can see, my husband and I are inseparable, just like I hope you and Vincent are. As for being a mother... Emily, I cannot
describe to you the wonders of it. So, I wish you and Vincent to have a lovely child soon as well."
I didn't want to argue with Emily in front of the gate on such an important occasion, it wouldn't be dignified
Of course, I didn't know if she understood my sarcasm or not, because shortly after I finished speaking, Vincent silently pulled Emily towards the guest area inside the mansion
Aaron glanced in the direction they had left, and the maid beside him immediately understood and hurried a few steps to catch up
But even so, he still had a somewhat uneasy look on his face, and he didn't let go of my hand
I came to my senses and noticed that his emotions were still tense, so I pretended to laugh lightly and comforted him
"With you present and Emily following, Vincent, no matter how bold he is, would not be able to make any more extreme moves. You can dislike him like I do, but it is unnecessary to be overly worried."
Aaron let out a cold snort from his nose
"On Morris' territory, even Emily's father wouldn't dare to make any radical moves, let alone Vincent!"
"Of course," I agreed with Aaron's words, but upon further reflection, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of pity for Emily in some way. "Speaking of which, Emily is also an innocent party in this matter. Yet, she still hasn't realized that her
husband's heart is not fully devoted to her, and she eagerly flaunts their affection in front of me, unaware of whether to blame or pity her."Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew I had said too much
Because Aaron's face turned somewhat unpleasant, he almost disregarded the surrounding guests and approached me, lowering his voice as he asked, "Are you going to tell Emily whose thoughts her husband has been fixated on?"
