Chapter 174 - What Happened To Emily ?
" Emily Green means the ex-fiance of Adrian!! Isn't it? " Steven asked Ruby to confirm his doubt.
" Yes...Why are you asking me? " Ruby asked him.
" As per record, Duke was contacting Emily Green frequently through his call. But I am not sure about it " Steven explained.
" It is not true, She was the happy one for Adrian and Katherine's reunion. Maybe there was some mistake " she said.
" Sometimes what we see and we believe is not always true. Let's see what else we will get to know…." He informed, cupping her face.
" Do you mean, she might be behind it!! " she asked.
" I didn't mean it. But we can trust everyone blindly, " he answered.
Then he continued, " You are so naive and innocent. You don't understand how cunning the people around us are ". Then he kissed her temple.
" Will you tell this information to Adrian? " she asked doubtfully.
He nodded his head and made a call to Adrian. First, he was hesitant to tell the information to him as far as he knew she was his friend. He thought he wouldn't believe the information.
" What! Is that information true? " Adrian asked him as he couldn't digest the news.
" According to the source, we came to know that the number belongs to Emily Green. But I have to investigate further, " Steven replied.
" Okay, thank you " Adrian ended the call.
…..
Adrian's company
After he got the information from Steven, Adrian walked into the attached small room in his cabin.
He saw Katherine sleeping like an innocent child. He knew she was so tired last night so he suggested having a nap before lunch as she had no work to do.
He sat beside her and was thinking about Steven's information.
Looking at her face, he caressed her hair. As soon as she sensed his touch, she held his wrist tightly and mumbled in sleep " Your presence makes me feel so safe"
He smiled at her words and leaned closer to her face. He kissed her soft cheeks. She opened her eyes and smiled at him. Then she placed her head on his lap and asked, " Why didn't you wake me up! "
" I know you were tired, so I don't want to disturb you," he said, caressing her back.
" You are such a good husband, " she pinched his cheek playfully.
He smiled at her and asked her, " What about me in the bed! " with a glint of a mischievous smile.
" shameless and naughty " she replied spontaneously.
" Thanks for the compliments, Mrs. Wilson," he said.
She sat on the bed and adjusted her dress. She leaned her head on his shoulder and asked, " Do you call Aunt Maria!! "
" Hmmm...They will come after two days, that means before one day of his birthday, " he said.
Slightly she turned her head and kissed on his jaws and said, " Thank you so much "
" Shall we go shopping for Sam's birthday? " she asked him.
" Okay…" he said with a bright smile.
" We also have to invite our friends to the party," she said.
" Sure, my dear Buttercup. Whatever you say " he agreed.
" We have little time to arrange a party. I think it's better if I stay at our home and take care of arrangements " she said.
" Still we have three more days, my dear. I will arrange an event planner to organize the party. No need to get tensed " he explained.
" No...no...It's the first time he is celebrating with his father. I want to look after the arrangements. Please...please…" she pleaded.
" I will personally call our friends to invite them to the party, " she added.
" Yes, my lady, " he said and noticed the glowing face of his wife.
First, she made a call to Martin and informed them about Sam's birthday party. Martin felt so happy as he sensed the happiness in her voice.
" I don't need an invitation, my princess. Sam is so precious to me " he informed and ended the call.
" You can continue making calls after having our lunch " he informed her and stood up from the bed.
" Wait…" she stopped by holding his wrist.
" After one call…" she added.
" Whom are you calling now? " He asked.
While making a call from her mobile, she informed, " Miss. Green "
Instantly, he snatched the mobile from her hand and ended the call, and shouted, " No need to invite her"
Katherine was startled by his behavior and stood up on the bed.
" I know you are upset with his father's words. But there is no mistake of hers. Don't forget she is your friend" she said, holding his arms.
" Kathie...when you don't know the truth. Better if you stay quiet " he said in a serious tone.
" What happened to you? Why are you talking like that? " She asked, making him sit on the couch.
" Nothing…" he turned his head away.
" Okay then...I will invite her to the party if you don't want to talk with her, " she said stubbornly.
" You will invite her even if she was the one who planned to drug you !! " He questioned her.
" What are you talking about !! Why does she plan to drug me!! When we knew she was the one who helped us in getting married, " She questioned.
" I don't know the reason. But as for now, we got the information that Duke was in touch with the person named Emily Green, " he informed.
" Listen to me…" she cupped his face, sitting on his lap.
" If Emily doesn't like me, then she would never help us. I knew her for four years. She has a beautiful soul. More importantly, she was the reason for our Sam's birth and survival. Trust your friendship with her, " she explained.
" In any relationship, communication is the most important matter, '' she added.
He looked at his wife admiringly and felt proud of her, how thoughtful she is.
" By the way, how do you know about this information! " She inquired.
" Steven, " he replied.
" If he wants to help in this matter, ask him to get proper information," she said in a serious tone.
The next minute, she made a call to Emily. But she didn't attend her call then she dialed the number of her secretary Stella who was also her friend.
After a long ring, Stella attended to the call of Kathie.
Stella: Hi
Kathie: Hi, How are you?
Stella: What's the matter? After a long time !!
Kathie: I want to talk with Miss. Green.
Stella: Nowadays, she is not talking to anyone. She was staying alone in the new house. She was talking to me when she had any important work in business. I saw Miss. Green in that condition from the day I join my job.
Kathie: Where are you now!
Stella: I am staying in the same house. But she was staying alone in the room.
Kathie: Inform Miss. Green that I want to talk with her.
Stella: Call me after ten minutes, I will convey the message.
Then Stella ended the call.
" What happened, why is your face gloomy!! " Adrian asked after the call was disconnected.
" Something is wrong, Ad," Kathie said in a dull voice.
" What happened! " Adrian asked anxiously.
" Emily was staying in Boston for two weeks. And her PA informed her she was not going to the company, " Kathie said.
" I am worried about her, " she added.
" No need to worry about her. She will be fine, " he said, giving a side hug.
" Let's go to lunch. I am so hungry " he said to divert her mind as he knew very well how sensitive she was.
They walked to the cafeteria and ordered lunch for both of them. All the employees were watching the couple interestingly.
Ignoring the employees' gossip, they finished their food and stood up to leave.
But Adrian held Katherine's hand and made a sound by tapping the spoon on the glass to get the attention of all the employees.
All the employees were looking at the couple and were waiting to know what Adrain wanted to announce.
" Dear employees….
I am here to announce some good news to all. This month, you are going to get double of your pay on the occasion on the birthday of my only son, Sampson Wilson "
" I request your blessings for my son, " he added.
He pulled closer, placing his hand on his waist. She smiled looking at his face on seeing his love for their son.
All the employees applauded with bright smiles on their faces. By holding her hand, they walked to their cabin.
" Hope our son will get the blessings of all our employees," she said and hugged him.
" Yes….my love " he kissed on the top of her head.
Just in time, Kathie's mobile rang. She saw the name and attended the call. It was from Stella.
" Do you inform her about my call to Miss? Emily? " She asked eagerly to Stella.
"I went to her room and saw she was in deep sleep. So I don't want to disturb her. " Stella said.
Then she continued, " From a few, she was sleeping most of the time. I don't know what is her problem"
" Is her health okay! " She questioned.
