Chapter 1029
Emily strutted over, waving a cake in her hand at Kya. “Look what mom brought you, kiddo!”
Kya’s eyes lit up and she darted towards the cake.
Emily took a few steps back and perched on the couch, holding the cake and grinning, “Missed me, did ya?”
“I missed you mom!” Kya beamed.
Emily placed the cake on the coffee table and noticing a princess castle toy nearby, she asked Kya, “Did Estelle spoil
you with another new toy?”
Kya, her eyes glued to the cake box, shook her head, “It’s from Mister Carson!”
Emily frowned slightly, turning to Ms. Simmons. “He’s been here again?”
She was aware that Kya had been ill and that Carson had been visiting her often.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMs. Simmons nodded, “Yes, he bought Kya a new toy and then left after a while.”
Why was Carson being so nice to Kya? Emily was puzzled.

still have feelings for her.
What was he up to?

money.

When Estelle came down to join Kya for the cake, Emily said, Estelle, can I have Carson’s number? I lost all my
previous contacts when changed my phone.”
Estelle looked up, “Why do you want his number?”
“He’s been hanging out with Kya and buying her toys. I should give him a ring to say thanks or he might think I’m
rude.” Emily said with a laugh.
Estelle, her mouth full of cake, hesitated then said, “You don’t have to, he might have just been passing by.”
“I should still thank him. I can’t just accept such an expensive gift without expressing my gratitude,” Emily mused,
then suddenly said, “I didn’t know he was _engaged. I’ll give him a belated engagement gift and thank him for
looking after Kya.”
“What are you going to give him?” Estelle asked.
Emily was at a loss. What could a guy like Carson possibly want?
“Let’s give this to Mister Carson!” Kya suddenly came in, holding a design model.
Emily had won a design competition in Oakdale City and the school had given her a model of the villa she designed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmas a prize. She had brought it back from abroad and it had been in Kya’s wishlist, so she had casually put it in her
luggage.
The model was palm-sized, with a white main building, wide windows, à lawn, and even a swing on the lawn. It was
incredibly detailed.
“Not bad!” Estelle agreed.
Emily shook her head, “Isn’t it too casual to give him this model?”
“I think it’s great!” Estelle said.
“Let’s give this to Mister Carson!” Kya was tugging at Emily’s arm.
Emily laughed and said, “Okay, when he comes next time, you can give this to him!”
“Okay!” Kya’s cute face was full of earnestness.
The next day, when Charlie came to visit Kya again, she took out the model and explained in her childish voice,
“This is a gift from mom!”
