Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

“Aunt Emily, where did you go on your mission this time? Last month, | saw on the news that special forces were rescuing hostages in Ireland. Did you go there? Have you ever seen any drug gangs? What do the drug lords look like?” Tammy kept asking questions as soon as she saw Emily

Anna handed Tammy a glass of orange juice and asked, “Will you shut up for a minute? Emily can’t tell you that because these are top secrets

Why are you asking so many questions, by the way?”

“Aunt Emily can’t talk about it, but that doesn’t mean | can’t ask her about it,” Tammy said, shaking her head

“Please don’t tell your classmates about this, or you’ll get your aunt in trouble. Do you know how strict the army’s discipline is?” Shaking her head helplessly, Anna said

“Okay, okay. | already know that. | never mentioned that my aunt is a soldier at school. Will you please stop nagging, mom?” Tammy asked mockingly

Then Emily said with a smile, “Thanks. | missed you guys terribly when | was away. Let me propose a toast to all of you for helping me take care of my child.”

“And your husband,” Natalie added, winking

Hearing that, Ryan gave Natalie a stern look and said, “That’s nonsense! | don’t need anyone else to look after me!”

“Didn’t | take care of you last month when you had a fever?” Natalie questioned

“How dare you mention that! | asked you to bring me a glass of water,

but you gave me hot water! | got a blister on my tongue, and it hasn’t even healed now!”

“You’re blaming me now? Why didn’t you say that when you were weakly lying in bed?” Natalie asked loudly

Knowing the argument between them might ruin the family gathering, Anna made a “stop” motion and said, “Ryan, Natalie, Emily is still giving us a toast right now. Will you two be quiet?”

Everyone then raised their glasses to Emily. After that, Emily asked how things were going at
