Chapter 22 Let's Rest in the Room Tonight.
Meanwhile, Emily, Andrew and others arrived home.
There was a sign of relief on Rosa’s face as she sat down on the sofa.
She said while patting her chest, “I was scared to death. I thought Andrew had really broken some law.”
“Hey! Andrew, you didn’t break any law, did you?”
Andrew shook his head, “They would have taken me if I did break the law.”
“That’s fine then.” Rosa patted her chest while letting out a long sigh.
“Come to think about it, it would be great if you are indeed the leader of those people. We will never be
bullied again and it sure feels good to have a powerful son in law.”
“Even Emily’s father would be happy about this!”
Rosa raised her head with tears in her eyes.
“Rosa, please be rest assured that nothing bad will ever happen to you as long as I live.”
Emily and Rosa felt great relief hearing those words.
To them, it was simply a good intention from Andrew, but to Andrew himself, it was a committed
statement he made to them.
Andrew’s mobile rang suddenly.
It was an unknown number. Andrew walked over to the balcony and answered the call.
With Andrew walked away, Rosa said to Emily, “Emily, Andrew is pretty nice to us, especially to you.
He’s always giving his best when it comes to you.”
Emily looked at Andrew’s back and nodded slightly, of course, she knew all along how Andrew treated
them.
Rosa continued, “Think about it, he signed the contract as a trade for your grandpa to throw you a
birthday party, he even invited a long list of guests. He is doing things following your father’s step, and
only your father would have been able to do it.”
“Not to mention the huge surprise. He threatened to have Asher Turner taken away so that they will
address you as Madame and presenting you with gifts. Despite being a trade, it is enough to show how
important you are to him.”
Emily felt warm listening to Rosa. She bit her lips and nodded slightly.
“Emily, do you like Andrew?”
Not knowing how to answer, she whispered while still holding the teacup, “Alright, mom, you should get
some rest.”
Rosa sighed, “Why did you ask me to get some rest? You haven’t answered my question. Andrew
wouldn’t have done so much for you if he doesn’t like you. Now it’s all up to you.”
“Mom, we’ve been separated for so long, I don’t know.” Emily answered, blushing.
She knew but she just wasn’t sure.
“Don’t know, means you like him too. If there were love between you two, you'd better have a baby.
And then your father would be able to rest in peace then.”
“Mom.” Emily blushed again when she talked about having a kid.
She peeped at Andrew at the balcony and felt a sudden sweetness in her heart.
“Andrew, is that you?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
It was Ryan Stone, the old master and the richest person in River Capital, Andrew’s grandfather who
called.
“Yes?” Andrew asked coldly, with an unfriendly tone.
Ryan heard Andrew’s voice and said weakly, “Andrew, I know you are still upset about what happened,
but I am sorry and truly regretted my decision back then.”
“I am sorry Andrew, it’s my fault. Can you please come home?”
“I… the only way to relieve me is that you will be taking over me as the master of our family.”
Andrew took a deep breath and laughed. “Ryan Stone, I know you are eyeing on my power! Do you
really think I am interested in being the master of the Stone’s family?”
“Andrew, how could you say such a word? No matter how much you dislike it, it is your family, this is
the reality.”
“I’m sorry, my family name is Clark, but I have no relation or whatsoever with the Stones.”
Andrew closed his eyes, everything in the past started to playback in his mind.
He could never forget how his parents were murdered.
“But you are a member of Stone. There is Stone’s blood in you. The Clark has fallen, why would you
still claim to be one of them?”
“I can easily build hundreds of empire Clark.”
“My mind is set, if you ever bother me again, I swear I will destroy the Stones myself.”
He hung up soon as he finished, he was so furious and crushed his mobile with his hand.
He looked at the sky and sighed, unable to calm down. He could let go of everything but not his
parents' death.
If it wasn’t for the Clark family, he would’ve been murdered by the Stones too!
He hated the Stones to the core!
He turned his back after a long while and saw Emily standing behind him.
Emily was shocked and looked at Andrew full of confusion. He saw how he crushed his mobile.
When she saw his face, she felt scared out of a sudden.
“Are… are you alright?” Emily asked carefully and glanced at the crushed mobile.
Andrew cleared his throat, “Fine. I dropped and broke my mobile.”
Dropped?
Emily clearly seen him crushed the phone by his hand, it wasn’t an accident.
“Oh yeah, I have a gift for you.” He took out the blood diamond he got from Archibald Elliott.
Emily was startled and looked at Andrew again. Andrew now and then seems to be two different
people.
He was very good at hiding behind masks.
And yet, was always full of confidence in front of her.
“Happy birthday!” Andrew said as Emily received the diamond from him.
Emily opened the case slowly and found there was a shining stone in it.
“Oh my, it's diamond! And it’s red.” Emily couldn’t believe her eyes.
She couldn’t believe that an imitation could look this real.
Andrew’s job as a waiter could never afford a real diamond.
Emily had seen a lot of diamonds, but it was her first time seeing a red one.
It was obvious that Andrew didn’t know much about diamond, not only had he bought a fake, but a red
one.
“Do you like it?” Andrew doubted, looking at Emily’s complex expressions.
Emily nodded and said, “Yes, I like it.”
“That’s great!” Andrew nodded happily.
Emily looked at the diamond in her hand. She touched it and was amazed by how neatly it was done.
At night, Emily and the family were watching TV together on the couch.
Rosa felt she was in between the two and walked back to her room.
“Emily, don’t forget to let Andrew sleep in your room tonight.” Rosa reminded her.
Emily blushed at once, but Andrew asked calmly, “Can I sleep in the room tonight?”
