Chapter 1344
With a courteous “No need, I’m doing great at work,” Emily gently rejected
“If you’re considering a job switch, you have got to hit up Kenny. She knows tons of people in the sales industry,
mostly loaded bosses” “Alright!”
Gina hastily said, “Please, take a seat and chat. Don’t just stand around”
“By the way, Emily, do you have a boyfriend now?” Linda asked again
Just as Gina was about to speak, Emily rushed ahead of her, “Nope, just started working, not planning on getting a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtboyfriend yet.”
Gina hoped to alter the subject by bringing up Martin, so Emily would not be constantly compared to Kenny. But
Emily beat her to it. Gina felt a little self-conscious and turned around to pour some coffee for Linda.
“Working and dating are not mutually exclusive. Let me tell you, these are your golden years. Once you pass this
phase, you won’t be as popular when you’re older. Don’t rely on yourself for everything. Waiting until your thirties
to consider marriage would be too late. Men like younger women, no matter how successful you are, it won’t beat a
young face.” Linda said with a concerned tone, “Look at my Kenny, successful in her career and has a pretty
decent boyfriend. Isn’t that great?”
Relatives around joined in to agree with Linda while singing Kenny’s praises.
Kenny was smiling, and when she caught a glimpse of Emily, her smile grew even wider
Gina, holding the coffee, sensed something was wrong.
Emily was a graduate from a prestigious university, but her work performance was not as good as Kenny’s, and she
didn not have a boyfriend, seemingly falling short in all aspects.
“Everyone, have some coffee and sweets!” Gina tried to change the topic, not wanting Linda to keep comparing
Ernily and Kenny
Elliott then approached, clutching Kya. Gina became concerned and turned around to confront him.
Kya had already reached out to Emily and called out, “Mommy!”
Gina’s face changed as she thought to herself, “Oh no!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe chatty relatives suddenly fell silent, looking at Emily in surprise
Emily took Kya into her arms, gently asking her, “Did you congratulate Elliott?”
1 did!” Kya said with a smile, “Uncle Elliott gave me a candy, I told him I could only have one, or I’ll get a cavity”
“What a good girl!” Emily kissed her on the shoulder.
Looking at Kya, Linda asked in confusion, “Emily, is this your child?”
Emily replied, “Yes.” She then said to Kya, “This is your Grandma Linda, and Aunt Kenny”
Kya politely greeted, “Hello.”
Still surprised, Linda asked, “Emily, you never mentioned you were married.”
Emily nodded and said, “That’s right, I’m not married.”
