Chapter 492: Will you be alright on your own?
After hearing Mrs. Noelle’s words, Emily Walker felt slightly relieved, perhaps he was really busy during this time.
“Mrs. Noelle, please sit down and eat with me!” Emily raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Noelle.
It was too disheartening to eat alone.
Mrs. Noelle hesitated for a moment. She had been with the Stuart family for many years, but had never shared a meal at their table.
“Come on, there’s no one else here!” Seeing her hesitation, Emily stood up and guided Mrs. Noelle to the side, placing Baron Stuart’s prepared bowl and chopsticks in front of her.
And so, the master and servant harmoniously shared their dinner.
With Mrs. Noelle’s company, Emily’s appetite was quite good tonight.
After dinner, she checked the time and it was only 7:00 PM. It was too early for Emily to sleep, so she sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
The TV was on, but Emily’s thoughts were not on the screen.
She wanted to go upstairs to sleep, but she had been seeing less and less of Baron Stuart lately. Every time he came back, she was already asleep.
“Young Madam.” Mrs. Noelle approached her as she was lost in thought.
Emily looked up at her, “Hmm?”
Mrs. Noelle smiled, “Madam has prepared some tonic for you tonight, but she won’t have time to come over tomorrow morning. She asked me to stay at Stuart Manor tonight and bring the tonic to you tomorrow morning.”
Emily paused upon hearing this.
Tonic prepared by Madam?
It had been over half a month since her miscarriage, and she hadn’t expected Baron Stuart’s mother to still be so considerate.
At first, she thought when she lost the child, Baron Stuart’s mother would no longer care for her, but now it seemed she was even more concerned about her than before.
“Alright, you can go.” Although she didn’t particularly want the tonic, she couldn’t refuse now that Baron Stuart’s mother had prepared it.
Mrs. Noelle looked at her and seemed slightly worried, “Young Madam, will you be alright alone tonight?”
Recently, the Young Master had been getting home late. If it weren’t for Madam asking her to return to Stuart Manor tonight, she would be hesitant to leave Emily alone in the private mansion.
Mrs. Noelle’s words made Emily pause. She looked at her blankly for a moment before regaining her composure, smiled, “What could happen to me?”
She wasn’t a child who needed constant supervision.
Ever since Mrs. Noelle arrived, she had singlehandedly taken care of Emily. Maybe she had grown accustomed to it, worrying that Emily couldn’t manage on her own without her.
But Emily was already almost 21 years old, and not that fragile.
Besides, hadn’t she lived alone before?
Mrs. Noelle smiled, her concern was that Young Madam would feel even more lonely if both she and the Young Master were not there.
“If nothing’s wrong, you should rest earlier, Young Madam. I’ll come back tomorrow morning to prepare breakfast for you.”
As the tonic Vivian Ferguson prepared needed to stew overnight, Mrs. Noelle couldn’t go now and return tomorrow. So she decided to spend the night at the Manor.
“Alright.” Emily looked up and smiled.
Mrs. Noelle glanced at her, seemingly reassured, then took off her apron and left the villa.
Once Mrs. Noelle left, only the sound of the TV filled the living room. Emily looked around the empty house and truly began to feel extremely lonely.
When she used to work in the past, she would also return to an empty home, but she never felt this lonely before, only occasionally missing her late father.
