Chapter 623
The two siblings continued their private conversation as they walked back
home. When they arrived at the doorstep, they heard a gentle and obedient
voice. “Look! It’s my brother–in–law!”
Emmanuel immediately looked up and was stunned.
It was Sarah who had arrived. She wore a beautiful smile and asked, “Hey,
Emmanuel! Is this Roselynn? She’s such a tall and beautiful lady!”
Roselynn was taken aback. She was unaware of the complicated
relationships within the Quillen family, but upon hearing Sarah greeting
Emmanuel, she quickly walked over and warmly shook her hand. “Oh, not at
all. Your legs are no shorter than mine!” After saying that, she even went as RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
far as to measure their legs.
It was a way to build rapport.
Of course, she genuinely wanted to compare her legs with Sarah’s and see
who had longer legs. She even had the thought of lifting the other person’s
clothes to see where their waistline started.
Emmanuel felt rather awkward because his sister did not have a sense of
boundaries. He quickly interrupted, “Sarah, how did you find us here?”
She smiled and replied, “Don’t you remember? When we returned from North
Star Village, you asked me to help take care of the Hedge family. Amy
wanted to come out and see, so I brought her along to wish you à Happy
New Year!”
He patted his forehead, remembering that he indeed asked for her help, but
he still inquired, “How did you know I came back to the village for the New
Year? And where is Amy?”
“I heard that Grandpa and Mackenzie were here to celebrate the New Year,
so I inquired and found out,” Sarah answered and pointed in another
direction, where Amy was squatting by a nearby pond, curiously observing a
hibernating turtle inside.
“Amy, Manuel is back!” Sarah hurried over to call Amy.
“And who is that?” Roselynn curiously asked. She did not expect their New
Year celebration in the countryside to be so lively.
“She used to be the sister of a blood brother who risked his life for us. She
suffered a setback and had some mental issues…” Emmanuel briefly
explained Amy’s story to his sister.
Roselynn sympathized with the Hedge family’s experience and was about to
go over and greet Amy when an unexpected scene unfolded.
Sarah approached Amy and saw her staring at a big turtle submerged in the
water. With a smile, she asked, “Amy, do you like that turtle? I’ll catch it for
you!”
“Really? Awesome!” Amy became excited but then hesitated and bit her
finger. “But it’s swimming so far. Can you catch it?”
“Let’s give it a try. Hold my hand!” Sarah was determined to catch the turtle.
Amy gladly held her hand, and together, they reached their palms into the
pond.
Thump! Thump! Just like that, both of them fell into the water.
“Ah!”
“Help!” They both called for help, splashing around in the water, clearly unable
to swim.
Roselynn was shocked. Fortunately, Emmanuel rushed over from her side,
and with a thump, he jumped into the pond, rescuing both women
simultaneously.
“What happened? What’s going on?” At that moment, Shane appeared out of
nowhere in a hurry. He was sent by their master to find Emmanuel because
their master wanted to see him. Who would have expected that upon arriving
near Emmanuel’s house, he would hear the cries for help from the girls?
During his dreams, he often dreamed of being a hero, saving a damsel in
distress. Could his dream come true today? However… When he arrived at
the pond, he saw that Emmanuel had already rescued both girls and was
instantly stunned.
Roselynn helped at the pond’s edge while Emmanuel lifted both women out
of the water. Seeing Sarah sitting on Emmanuel’s shoulders with her round
buttocks left Shane completely dumbfounded.
Oh, how he envied them!
