Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Her, She’s Already Taken
Thomas Emiliano smiled and swirled the wine in his glass, “Lady Walker, you’re overthinking it. I happened to see you at the company entrance that day. And then, I knew you were the daughter of the Walker family, a graceful and virtuous lady, and gentlemen always appreciate those qualities.”
As he spoke, he raised his wine glass, his smile deepening.
Emily Walker stared blankly at the man before her who was not only mysterious but also… extremely sly!
“That day, I actually wanted to intentionally strike up a conversation with you, just so you could remember Master Night, right?” The man’s smile remained seductive and attractive throughout the banquet hall, leaving no one else but Baron Stuart on par with him.
Camila Walker, standing next to him, could see from his gaze that Thomas Emiliano seemed to be very interested in Emily.
She just didn’t understand why, when she was clearly superior to Emily in every way, remarkable men always found her sister so attractive.
“Mr. Emiliano seems to be very interested in my sister.” Camila laughed lightly, her heart burning with jealousy but her surface demeanor remaining composed and elegant. “But I’m afraid Mr. Emiliano will be disappointed. My sister…”
She turned her head to glance at Emily next to her and then smiled enchantingly, “She is already spoken for.”
Hearing this, Thomas Emiliano pretended to be surprised, but he revealed no emotion in his eyes.
“Is that so? What a pity.” He said, with a hint of disappointment on his face. But moments later, he smiled again, “Nevertheless, nothing can change my interest in you.”
At these words, Emily and Camila both stared blankly.
What on earth did this man want to do?
“Is Mr. Cairo so interested in other people’s stuff?”
Suddenly, a deep and charming voice rang out, accompanied by a handsome and upright figure walking slowly towards them.
The man raised his eyes to look at another man who was walking towards them, his composure and a faint smile never wavering.
Baron Stuart approached, protectively wrapping Emily in his embrace and smiling tenderly at her.
As he held her close, Emily looked up and smiled sweetly.
Seeing their intimate gestures, Thomas Emiliano smiled faintly.
“Is the famous man Lady Walker referred to none other than Young Lord?”
Baron Stuart looked up at the man who had suddenly appeared in E City.
He sensed a mysterious aura from him. This man could not have appeared here for no reason.
“Mr. Cairo, it’s better to be less interested in other people’s possessions, don’t you think?”
Thomas Emiliano smiled and took a sip of the red liquid in his glass, “It depends on what it is. If it’s a rare beauty, I think… ”
His gaze fell on Emily’s fair face, and his smile seemed to hold deeper meaning, “I would find it hard not to be interested.”
His words carried heavy implications.
Any man would be upset if his woman were openly scrutinized by another. Even Baron Stuart couldn’t help but feel a fire burning in his heart.
However, he didn’t show it on his face, and instead grinned confidently, “Really? I’d love to see just how capable Mr. Cairo is.”
Having said that, he lowered his head and looked affectionately at the girl in his arms, “Are you hungry? Shall we grab something to eat?”
“Sure!” Emily smiled sweetly.
Baron Stuart smiled and glanced at Thomas Emiliano before leaving with Emily in his arms.
Emily, however, didn’t look back at Thomas Emiliano again. With the exception of Baron Stuart in her eyes, all other men seemed to lose their luster instantly.
