A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 529 This Is Crazy!

Sean accompanied Emily and Beryl to the restaurant, and the atmosphere between them was harmonious.

The waiter went to them and said, "Sir, madam, and lovely little lady, may I take your order?"

Obviously he considered them as a family of three. Sean's mood brightened considerably upon hearing that, but Emily immediately denied it.

"Sorry, we're not a couple," she told the waiter.

Sean's face fell and his eyes turned gloomy in an instant.

The waiter was puzzled about their relationship, but he knew he shouldn't ask more questions.

Emily ordered several dishes, pretending that she hadn't seen her brother's unhappy face. She had deliberately explained to the waiter that they were not a couple.

Though she could not always tell what attitude Sean held towards her, she had hoped that he would give up on pursuing her. He said he would, but the ambiguity he showed from time to time made her doubtful.

If he still craved taking her as lover, then she couldn't figure out why at other times he treated her as his sister.

Instinctively she knew that she had to demarcate their relationship as that of siblings, so that he could clearly understand her position on it, and that he could believe her standpoint to be set.

Although the two adults were wrapped up in their own pensive moods, they were careful not to show any signs which might confuse Beryl. The child innocently continued enjoying her meal.

After the meal, Sean treated them with a visit to the amusement park. To the undiscerning viewers they were a happy family of three enjoying the attractions.

He even insisted on buying a family package to enter the amusement park.

Emily watched him having a good time with Beryl, and though she took pictures of them, she was concerned as he was acting out of character today. Confused by her emotions and the awkward situation, she was somewhat distracted.

But she could not determine what was different about Sean and his unusual behavior.

Feeling uneasy, she thought of Jacob, who was still in the laboratory.
