Chapter 78: Chapter 78: SHE IS IN LOVE

The next day Zara woke up feeling very energetic, and a smile was on her face, her thoughts unknown to those who were seeing her.

"Miss, your brother is calling you!"

As Zara was adjusting her sitting posture on the bed, Emma entered the bedroom, calling out to her.

Zara stopped in her tracks, the smile fading on her face for a little bit, wondering why he wasn’t calling her on her phone but calling on Emma’s phone.

"Um. Give it to me!" since the phone was already in front of her, she didn’t have the guts to reject it.

Emma passed the phone over to Zara, as well as the earbuds. After inserting the earbuds, Zara stared at the screen as a familiar voice sounded in her ear.

[Princess!]

A smile appeared on her face as that familiarity embraced her. It’s been a while since she last talked to him. She didn’t know what he was up to, but what she knew was that he was upset with her and couldn’t face her.

"Um. How are you?" she smilingly asked, her eyes squinting into crescents, obviously happy talking to him.

[Doing well and you?]

"As you can see, couldn’t be any better. Where are you?"

[I am running an errand but I promise to be home before your birthday.]

Upon hearing that, her smile widened further.

"Then I will be waiting!"

[Um. I won’t let you down!]

"Um."

[Okay, you can go back to what you were doing. I will always keep an eye on you, okay? And don’t fret, nothing will happen to you. I promise."

"I trust you and I will be waiting for you!"

After exchanging pleasant words, the call finally came to an end.

When Emma saw Zara smiling happily like that, she was filled with relief. No one knows how much her life felt as if it was hanging by a thread because of those two.

As long as they reconciled, she would be fine and so would be others. But she couldn’t help but think that he did it on purpose. Why call when she was broadcasting?

Couldn’t he have done it when she was offline?

"Take the phone back and please pass me the yarn and needles!" Zara’s instruction startled Emma to reality and, shortly, Emma was running errands again.

After delivering everything to Zara, she excused herself as she didn’t want to disturb Zara anymore.

With Emma gone, Zara checked her comments and burst out laughing after seeing several hilarious comments.

She didn’t respond to any of them before she wore another face mask with her name on it and shortly; she started struggling to knit for the first time in her life.

’It’s going to be one heck of a week!’ she lamented as she looked at the piece of art she was just starting.

.....

Meanwhile, in Kuville City, Hansley’s mansion, Lena was looking at the TV screen once in a while as she knitted something in a relaxed manner.

The way her hands were moving, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was a professional.

"Madam, I have brought your snacks!"

Lena, who was busy working hard on her piece, stopped and raised her head to look at the person who had just come to deliver the food.

"Aunty Nancy, thanks," Lena thanked the housekeeper with a smile as she set aside the piece she was knitting.

Aunty Nancy smiled back as she set the table, responding calmly, "It’s my job, Madam. You look happier," she couldn’t help but say out loud, recalling how Lena had been all smiles these past two days.

Lena smiled subtly as she recalled why she was so happy like that.

"It can’t be helped. My baby is getting better and better every day!" she smugly said, her chest filled with so much pride at the thought of her daughter making it alive past her birthday.

Aunty Nancy beamed upon hearing that. As someone who worked tirelessly at the mansion for decades, she had seen how the fifth miss’s health had taken a toll, especially on the third madam. So, seeing her happy and worry-free even if it was just for a few days, she was glad, and so was everyone.

"That’s true. The fifth Miss is truly blessed. We can only praise the heavens."

"Indeed."

Aunty Nancy didn’t continue saying any unnecessary things before she left Lena, who was eating her snacks, as she peeked at the screen with a smile.

’My baby, look at her. She is happy and with that smile, I think that she is in love. But who is he?’

’It can’t possibly be, Quinn. They have been together for far too long for them to change that easily, but what if it’s him?’

As a mother, she was both worried and happy about her speculation. She didn’t know if her hypothesis was true or not, but judging by how Emma was being dodgy when she called; she had an inkling that some pig was definitely eating her cabbage. But when did that happen again?

She couldn’t help but wonder.

’Whatever it is. I will just wait. In two weeks, baby will be back and I will ask as many questions as I want. Baby is no longer repulsed by me, so everything will go well. But before she is back, I need to finish this piece and let her have it on her birthday.’

With her thoughts sorted out, Lena continued to munch on her snacks happily.

...

Meanwhile, on the same day, in a certain enclosed space, a man sat cross-legged on a mat, prayer beads in hand and the hand holding the beads was clenched and the veins popping.

Without looking anywhere, it was evident that whoever that person was; he was very angry and fuming at that moment.

After being in that state for a moment, the man’s fist loosened, but the prayer beads didn’t fall to the ground.

"Tsk .... Tsk ... it seemed that he didn’t heed my advice seriously!" the man growled lowly, his words echoing in the nearly empty room.
