Chapter 33 Meeting Parents To Discuss The Engagement
"Welcome, Your Highness." "Welcome, Lady."
At this time, they had already sat at the table. Although the emperor was younger than Sam, he sat on the main seat of the long table because of his noble identity. Sam sat on the right side of the table, and the queen sat on the left side. Everyone was wearing properly, and talking about something with decent smiles on their faces. They greeted James and Emily warmly when they saw them coming back together. "Oh, my Shirl, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much. You are so beautiful today!" The queen took the initiative to leave her seat, walked over, held the hand of Emily, and took her to sit beside herself.
"Hello, auntie and uncle." Emily greeted them with a smile.
"Come on, sit on auntie's side. James, sit on grandpa, Sam's side."
After the family sat down, the servants began to serve the dishes one by one.
If Emily could enjoy the delicacies in the An Family every day, then today's meal was a feast full of delicacies.
The whole table was full of food. Staring at these delicious food, Emily couldn't help but drool.
She was totally attracted. Hairy crabs, braised shrimps, and so on.
She liked them so much.
"Your Majesty and queen, please enjoy. I'm sorry if I didn't take good care of you." The respectful and humble attitude of Sam surprised Emily. This arrogant and domineering old man didn't dare to shout in fron of the emperor and the queen.
"It's already very good. It looks delicious. Don't be nervous." The emperor picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
Only when he started, people would dare to pick up their chopsticks to eat. Emily had been taught this etiquette, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Come on, Shirl. I'll get you a prawns."
"Thank you, auntie."
"And this one looks delicious too. Eat more. See how skinny you are. How can you give birth to a lot of babies for James in the future?"
"Puff..." Emily couldn't help spitting out the food that she dared to eat and coughed all the time.
"Are you okay, Shirl?" The queen immediately handed over a napkin and carefully wiped for her.
James handed her a glass of water silently.
With a grim face, Sam glared at her. She shouldn't have made a fool of herself in front of the noble emperor, the queen and His Highness. She spat out the food in her mouth. How disgusting and ill-bred she
was.
Emily drank a lot of water and took a long time to recover.
"Ha ha, the queen has always been so stunning. I have to get used to you in the future." The emperor was not unhappy. Instead, he felt that this girl was very straightforward and honest.
"Yes, it's all aunt's fault. I said such words at the dinner table. We can talk about it in secret later. Now let's eat quietly." The queen realized her mistake. According to the strict dining etiquette, she couldn't talk too much at the table. It was her fault.
"No, auntie, you are humorous. I'm influenced by your humor. Let's start. I'm starving to death." Emily said coquettishly, rubbing her belly.
Sam found that the emperor and the queen were not angry, they even thought it was their fault. His face quickly became bright and he began to eat with a smile. The dinner ended happily.
After dinner, the family sat on the sofa eating fruits and brought up the main topic.
"Mr. Sam, we hope that after the engagement, Shirl can move in with James." The emperor said first.
"No."
"No."
Emily and James resisted at the same time.
In any case, Emily would never live with a self-centered, arrogant and domineering boy like James.
James didn't want anyone to find out the secrets hidden in him. If two people lived together, these secrets would not be kept. He would never live with this rude and vulgar girl.
The two tacit reactions immediately made the emperor, the queen and Sam, who was sitting on the other side, feel embarrassed. How could the two children be so fierce about the matter that the adults had negotiated?
"Objection is invalid. It's a must. Otherwise, how can you cultivate your relationship well? Otherwise, why do you still get engaged? I will hold a wedding ceremony for you when you are eighteen years old. " The emperor said seriously, with irresistible Majesty in his words.
"But uncle..." Emily cast a resentful glance at James and looked at the emperor with pleading. If they really lived under the same roof, the roof of the castle would be overturned by them in less than three days. "Oh, Shirl, don't be shy. You can see my handsome James every day. Isn't it good?" The queen put her arm around her shoulder and comforted her.
All of a sudden, Emily thought that the engagement would not succeed anyway, and this boy would definitely take measures to stop it. They didn't need to think too much about living together.
"Well, auntie, I have no objection. It's up to you." Emily gave up struggling and arguing.
Seeing her reaction, James could see through her mind at a glance, but how could he get rid of her? He couldn't live with her.
"James, you don't have to have any objection. You just do what we have arranged. From now on, you must go back to the Royal Castle every night." The emperor seriously announced the final result of the discussion. It was not a family meeting. He was the only one who made the decision. Even Sam couldn't say anything to resist.
In addition, they also talked about some details of the engagement day, but Emily couldn't stand it anymore. She yawned and felt bored. With hands in the pockets, James looked calm and nervous. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
Then he came to his senses and found that Emily was depressed. He said, "Father, mother, I'll take her out for a walk."
"Oh, take your time. You can also go out for a date later. After we finish talking, we will go back directly and ask the driver to pick you up in the evening." The queen was very happy to see that the two of them got along well with each other. She quickly set them up to stay with each other as soon as possible. She would never waste a second to create enough private space for them.
Without saying a word, James grabbed Emily and ran out of the villa.
"It hurts, James." Emily shook off his hand and rubbed her hand. Her skin was tender and her wrist was red because of his grip.
"You are indeed a delicate lady. But I'm sorry, I will never live with you." James made it clear immediately.
"Do you think I want to live with you? I compromised just now because I know that we won't get engaged at all. Why do you still talk about living together? Isn't it a joke?" Said Emily arrogantly, curling her lips. "Are you really so confident in me? What if my plan fails? What if the engagement goes on as scheduled? " James looked at her very seriously. Should he tell her that he didn't do anything about the engagement on Wednesday? Or just throw this big bomb to her on that day?
"Have you ever doubted your own ability? You must have your own ability to be conceited. I believe in you." Emily rolled her eyes and stared at him with a complicated expression.
"Don't blame me if I let you down." James smiled. He had warned her not to be too emotional.
"If you fail, I will find another way. Don't worry." Emily smiled, pretending to be relaxed.
"But don't forget to give me that one million dollars."
"You will never forget about your money. Be my kitten these days and I will give it to you on time." James patted her head.
"That's more like it. Don't pat me on the head. I will be stupid." Emily pulled his hand away in disgust.
"Do you hate me to touch you so much?"
"Yes."
"What if I insist?" James obstinately approached her again, lowered his head and sucked the fragrance from her hair. A hand lightly touched her slender waist, and the corners of his mouth twitched playfully. "You like to touch me, don't you? Then you can touch more. "With a gentle smile in her eyes, Emily looked at him, as if to melt in his gaze.
Suddenly, a foot in ten centimeter high heels stepped heavily on his shoes.
"Ouch --" It happened all of a sudden. James didn't expect that. He groaned in pain and glared at her angrily. "Damn you --"
"What? I didn't kick you in the dick, okay? Rogue!" Emily curled her lips. She was extremely happy to see him in such a pain.
"Are you a girl or not?" Enduring the pain, James bickered with her.
"Am I a girl? Don't you have eyes? Bye, I won't play with you." With a wave of her hand, Emily left arrogantly, which made James stamp his feet.
No girl dared to do this to him, except this audacious Emily.
After taking a few steps, Emily found that the dress she was wearing was too inconvenient, so she quickly went upstairs and changed into a something casual. She wore a white shirt, a pair of ultra short jeans, and a pair of canvas shoes with small floral prints. Her hair was loosened from the bun, and she wore a high ponytail, looking fresh and natural.
Getting rid of the shameless James, she felt free and happy all over her body.
"Luke, is there a bike here?" Emily asked Luke.
"Yes, My Lady. Why do you want a bike?" Luke stared at her, confused.
"Of course I want to ride a bike. I want to go for a ride. Go and get me one."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
