Emily Hart and Ethan Lyle entered the hall together, only to see Alexander Knight with a grim look on his face, as if he was still angry.
"Uncle Li..."
She stood behind Ethan Lyle, too panicked to move forward, fearing that Uncle Li would explode in rage the next second.
"Come here!" Alexander Knight's voice carried an unquestionable command, which made Emily Hart tremble.
"Uncle Li, it's Xin'er's fault." Emily Hart showed an innocent look, she walked forward and sat obediently on Alexander Knight's lap.
"What's wrong?" Alexander Knight was still cold and arrogant, not buying Emily Hart's tricks at all.
Emily Hart looked pitifully into Alexander Knight's dark eyes. She suddenly smiled playfully, "Uncle Li, whatever Xin'er does is wrong, okay?"
"If you could be as obedient and efficient as this little mouth, I would save myself a lot of trouble." Alexander Knight felt a warm current flowing into his chest. This little girl always made him compromise on everything.
"Uncle Li, you must be careful outside and try to come back early, otherwise Xin'er will be very worried about you." Emily Hart climbed on Alexander Knight's chest. Her breath was as sweet as orchid and full of heat, which made his blood vessels burst for a moment.
"Silly girl, just wait for me to come back obediently." Even though Alexander Knight was reluctant to leave this girl, seeing that it was getting late, he gently reminded her and prepared to leave.
"Uncle Li, during the six months you were away, I still can't contact you like before?" Emily Hart looked at all the bodyguards waiting outside and knew that Uncle Li would disappear for a while again this time, just like before.
"If there is any emergency, your brother Yaosi will take care of it." Alexander Knight said lightly, then turned and walked out of the castle gate.
Emily Hart understood what he said: if there is anything, just find Yao Si, she can't contact him!
"Uncle Li, please come back soon..." Emily Hart followed Alexander Knight to the castle entrance. She looked at him reluctantly as he was about to leave. Her fingers were tightly grasping her dress as she watched him leave in a daze...
"Wait till I come back!"
He simply said this, turned around and got into the Bentley, disappearing from Emily Hart's sight.
Uncle Li is gone and won't be back until half a year later!
Emily Hart kept thinking about this matter over and over again. She turned back to the castle and roughly inquired about the things in front of her. She couldn't describe her mood. Should she be happy that she was free?
Or should I worry about the future life without Uncle Li's company?
"Girl, school starts tomorrow, aren't you going to do your homework?" Ethan Lyle saw that Emily Hart remained silent, and he couldn't see through the girl's little thoughts.
"Brother Yaosi, only when Uncle Li is away every year can I feel the freedom. Can you please stop nagging me like Uncle Li!" Emily Hart turned around. She knew in her heart that Brother Yaosi could not control her.
"Xin'er, your uncle Li told you before he left that you can't go out in the next few years! I can't continue to indulge you like I did in previous years." Ethan Lyle is now worried that this girl seems to have taken his indulgence for granted.
"Brother Yaosi, I also sneaked out in previous years and nothing happened. Why are you like Uncle Li, always restricting my personal freedom?" Emily Hart is now longing for freedom more and more. The tighter Uncle Li controls her, the more she wants to break free.
"Xin'er, you..."
"Brother Yaosi, there is no need to send bodyguards to follow me tomorrow. Just have someone take me to school. I can take care of the rest by myself. I'm not a three-year-old child." From today on, Emily Hart will have a taste of freedom and will not need to be under anyone's jurisdiction.
"Xin'er, if something happens to you, how are you going to let Brother Yaosi explain to your Uncle Li?" Ethan Lyle now regrets indulging this girl in the past years, and now it has reached the point where things are out of control.
"Don't worry, Brother Yaosi, I will be a good boy in school and will never cause any trouble for you. Just don't send anyone to follow me. How can a girl like me cause any trouble?" Emily Hart saw that Ethan Lyle was still hesitant, so she hurried forward to persuade him, hoping to get her freedom.
"You know, I'm not as strict as your uncle Li, but you must take the special car to and from school, do you hear me?"
In the end, Ethan Lyle chose to compromise. The girl looked so pitiful that it was hard to refuse her.
Emily Hart jumped up excitedly, grabbed Ethan Lyle's arm, and smiled from ear to ear, "I told you, Brother Yaosi is much better than Uncle Li."
"You can't say that in front of your Uncle Li." Ethan Lyle had no way to deal with this naughty girl. She had always liked to act coquettishly around him since she was a child. Her soft and sweet manner made him happy.
"Of course, Uncle Li is a jealous person, he's jealous of everything." Emily Hart finally welcomed the new year of free life, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself, "Brother Yaosi, I'm hungry."
"You little girl." Ethan Lyle touched Emily Hart's head, "Come on, let the servants prepare something delicious for you."
Emily Hart's mood suddenly became free and cheerful. Although she was reluctant to leave Uncle Li just now, she thought that her life had become more comfortable after he left. She really hoped that he could stay away for a while longer.
"By the way, Brother Yaosi, why does Uncle Li go on a long journey every year? He always says it's to make money, but I know he's rich enough to rival a country, so why would he go abroad to make money himself?"
Every year on the eve of her birthday, Uncle Li would always go abroad for a while. Year after year, she had to wonder what Uncle Li was doing?
Could it be that... there is someone out there that Uncle Li cares about more?
"Xin'er, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Ethan Lyle also understood that it was Alexander Knight's taboo and no one could ask about it.
"Maybe that person is the most important in Uncle Li's heart, and I am not even half as important as her." Emily Hart felt a little disappointed for some reason. She had always been Uncle Li's sweetheart. If she suddenly found out that the person he loved the most was actually someone else, she would inevitably feel uncomfortable.
"Why are you so sentimental, little girl? Your Uncle Li dotes on you and only cares about you from the beginning to the end." In Ethan Lyle's impression, Emily Hart has always been that lively and lovely little girl, whose eyes can hold the innocence of the whole world.
"Uncle Li's world is full of colors, but mine is monotonous with only him. When he left me, perhaps I still have a lot of things, but when I left him, I have nothing." Emily Hart vaguely felt that where Uncle Li went, there must be someone waiting for him.
"Don't think too much. You're hungry, aren't you? Brother Yaosi will take you to eat."
Ethan Lyle patted the depressed Emily Hart on the shoulder and said no more unnecessary consolation. He understood that Alexander Knight's personal affairs could not be stopped by anyone.
Even if something happens two years later...
