Chapter 239: Chapter 234
At this mont, Emily Parker had no idea what Nana Ross was planning behind her back.
After muting the group chat notifications, she opened Carlos’s social dia profile, and the official announcent post imdiately caught her eye.
Below the announcent, there were several likes and comnts full of blessings.
She was familiar with all these profile pictures; they were friends who regularly hung out with Carlos and Maria Carter.
Their words were filled with blessings for the new couple, and each like and comnt felt like little hamrs gently tapping on Emily’s heart.
Instinctively, Emily scrolled through her own social dia profile.
The page looked particularly barren, with only a few lonely posts, and just one like from Evelyn Hanson.
Seeing that solitary like, a wave of unspeakable sadness swept over her.
Just as she was feeling forlorn and about to put down her phone, a notification popped up at the top of the screen—soone had liked her post.
Emily was slightly stunned, then clicked on her social dia profile, and when she saw that the person who liked her post was “Blue Sky,” her previously dim eyes lit up instantly. A warm smile unconsciously spread across her face.
She thought to herself, with her grandfather and sister now in her life, and soday her own children, she finally had a family.
Mom, watching over her from heaven, should also feel at ease now.
“Sister-in-law,”
Maria Carter entered the room with a bright smile, as radiant as blossoms in spring,
“Liliana asked to find out when you and my brother plan to have the wedding banquet; she wants to prepare a surprise for you.”
Upon hearing this, Emily put down her phone and smiled a bit shyly,
“We’re not planning to have the banquet for now.
Why are you back so early today?”
She looked at Maria, puzzled.
Ever since Maria started taking extra classes, she seed to have changed, becoming very dedicated to her studies and improving her grades rapidly, completely abandoning her habit of skipping classes.
At this ti, she should still be in the classroom.
“Oh, it’s all because of grandfather.”
Maria sighed helplessly and sat down next to Emily, affectionately wrapping her arm around her,
“At his age, he suddenly wants to go abroad to find grandmother.
Mom hasn’t been feeling well lately, so I was worried she couldn’t handle it. I took a leave to send grandfather off myself.
I just got back from the airport after seeing him off.
He just left.”
Upon hearing this, Emily’s hand movents halted abruptly, and she subconsciously glanced at her phone.
“You an grandfather flew overseas?”
She confird again, a hint of tension creeping into her voice.
“Yeah,”
Maria nodded, pouting with a puzzled expression,
“He was in such a hurry, he didn’t even arrange for a private jet, just bought a ticket and rushed off.
I really don’t understand why grandfather is suddenly so anxious. Didn’t he always have a bad relationship with grandmother?
They used to quarrel all the ti.”
“Do you have grandfather’s phone number?”
Emily’s grip on her phone tightened involuntarily, her knuckles turning white from the pressure, and her heartbeat quickening.
“Yes, don’t you have grandfather’s number?”
Maria looked surprised but quickly recited a string of digits fluently.
Emily hurriedly entered the number into her phone, her fingers trembling slightly.
When the social dia screen opened, the profile picture and nickna that appeared were not the “Blue Sky” she was familiar with.
In an instant, she felt dizzy, her mind going blank.
Who had she been chatting with these past months?
A feeling of being deceived washed over her like a tide, leaving her bewildered and scared.
Seeing Emily’s face turn pale, Maria looked on curiously and took a peek at her phone screen.
“Sister-in-law, my brother just sent you a ssage.”
Maria happened to catch a glimpse of a ssage from “Blue Sky,” the content carrying a hint of intimacy.
“My brother is such a tough nut,”
Maria muttered to herself, a mischievous smile on her face,
“Look at this, it’s only been a few months, and he’s already made it official.”
In her mind, her brother had always been a reserved person; she never expected him to be so ticulous about his feelings, even giving his private account to his sister-in-law.
This private account wasn’t even added by their father, which showed how special the treatnt was for the sister-in-law.
Upon hearing this, Emily’s mind went blank, and her hand holding the phone shook uncontrollably, nearly dropping the device.
“Blue Sky is Carlos?”
This thought struck her like a bolt of lightning, leaving her dazed.
Recalling all the chats with “Blue Sky,” the warm words, the considerate care, it was all from Carlos.
She never imagined that the person who had been accompanying her online, providing her comfort, was the sa Carlos who was sotis aloof, sotis proud in real life.
Complex emotions surged in her heart—shock, surprise, and, most of all, an indescribable sense of being touched, realizing he had quietly entered her life in another way all along.
