Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Wait Here for Me, Well-behaved
Baron Stuart didn’t look down at her but lightly said, “Hmm.”
Openly admitting that he was jealous, Baron Stuart found it even harder to save face, so he lowered his head with a slightly annoyed expression, “You know I don’t like it, so stay away from those men in the future!”
Emily Walker laughed, “I didn’t go near them, they approached me…”
“Do you know what it means to avoid suspicion? Whose wife are you now?” Baron Stuart glanced at her in his arms as he lowered his eyes.
“Yours.”
“As long as you know.”
The two turned to the staircase entrance and happened to bump into Angela Reid, who was about to go downstairs.
“Emily? You, what happened to you…?”
Being held by Baron Stuart in full view of the public, Angela Reid didn’t understand what was going on for a moment.
“Her leg is injured, and we need to get some medicine,” Baron Stuart explained, which was rare for him to do.
At this, Angela Reid’s expression grew concerned, “Injured? How did she get hurt? Let’s go to the room.”
The three of them went to the relaxation room, where Angela Reid asked a servant to bring a medicine box.
“How could you get hurt?” Angela watched with anxiety standing on the side as Baron Stuart applied medicine for her.
Seeing her worried expression, Emily Walker felt a warmth in her heart, smiled, and said, “My shoes were too high and my dress too long, so I tripped while running.”
Upon hearing this, Angela became even more confused, “Why were you running?”
Uh.
Emily Walker paused, her line of sight falling on the man in front of her carefully applying ointment with a cotton swab.
She ran to chase him after all.
Baron Stuart knew this fact very well in his heart.
Because he was so angry, his pace quickened a bit.
But was she stupid? Tripping on flat ground?
“Alright, can you walk?” After applying the medicine, Baron Stuart stood up.
It seemed that she wouldn’t be able to go to the grand hall for a while.
Looking at her bandaged knee, Emily Walker stood up from the European chair to try walking a few steps.
But before she could take a step, the man in front of her pushed her back down.
“Rest here, don’t go back down.”
“…” Emily Walker looked up at the man before her.
Rest here?
There was probably still an hour before the banquet ended, so was she supposed to stay here the whole time?
Well, she wasn’t a person who couldn’t stand loneliness but…
If she had to stay here, she might as well go home.
At this moment, Baron Stuart’s cell phone ringtone sounded.
Picking up the phone, Baron Stuart listened while looking at Emily Walker.
“I understand, I’ll be down in a little while.”
After hanging up the phone, Baron Stuart walked over to her and said, “I’ll go downstairs for a bit, behave, and wait here.”
Emily Walker looked at him and knew that something must have come up since he received a phone call, so she obediently nodded, “Okay.”
Seeing that he had something to take care of, Angela Reid, who was also present, knew that he might be worried about Emily Walker, and smiled, “Baron Stuart, you go ahead and take care of things, I’ll stay here with Emily.”
It was only then that Baron Stuart felt reassured to leave.
Watching him leave, Emily Walker stood up and tried walking a few steps only when the door to the relaxation room was closed again.
“How is it? Does it still hurt?” Angela Reid came over and was about to offer support.
Emily Walker shook her head and smiled, “It’s fine!”
Indeed, it had hurt a bit when she fell, but now it was much better. At least she wasn’t exaggerating that she couldn’t walk. After all, she had only tripped.
Sometimes, Baron Stuart was really overly worried.
But Emily Walker was very clear about this too.
