"Sean probably will not bring his sister back to live here for a while." Vedder shrugged his shoulders in disappointment, assuming Sean must have made such a decision because he didn't want their annoying neighbor to contact Emily. But there was no need to tell Jacob about that right now. He already had a lot on his plate.
Jacob urged eagerly, "You have to do something. I want to see her."
Vedder smiled and assured, "Don't worry. I will keep my word. There will be a banquet in a few days, and the Lu clan will be on the guest list. I'll take you there with me. If you don't want Sean to know, maybe we should make a plan B."
Jacob said nothing and there was no emotion to be found on his handsome face, as if it was not him who had lost control due to Vedder's words earlier.
Vedder's eyebrows furrowed and he felt more curious about their past.
The Lu family had received the invitation letter for the banquet very early, but Sean did not want Emily to attend the event.
For reasons known only to him, not only did he disapprove of Emily being attracted to others, he didn't even want anyone to lay their eyes on her. Among the distinguished guests present at the banquet were the upper echelons of society, learned and talented young individuals who were the celebrated gems of the country. It was hard for Emily to ignore them.
Sean deviously tried to hide the invitation letter but failed. Once Emily had found it, there was no way stopping her from looking forward to the event and meeting new friends. Besides, she had grown tired of staying at home everyday, she needed a change of scenery.
Sean couldn't take the risk of exposing his ulterior motives, nor could he resist Emily's spoiled behavior. In the end, he had no choice but to agree.
In any case, they were in D Country. This was the Lu family's territory.
Sean would just have to make sure he had his cautious eyes on Emily and not let anyone take advantage of this opportunity.
Soon, the day of the banquet arrived.
Sean picked out the dress for Emily in person. When he looked at her in the mirror, his eyes and mouth were frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise, and although he was staring straight at Emily he seemed to be lost in deep thoughts.
"Cloris, you are so beautiful."
"Thank you for saying that." Emily praised him in return, "You look pretty good yourself, my handsome knight in shining armour."

ce dim down, she felt uncomfortable for having been so harsh, so she tried to lighten his mood.
"I'm kidding. Are you okay? I saw you ran into some trouble earlier."
She changed the topic thoughtfully.
The waiter shook his head. "It's okay. I just poured the drinks on the guests accidentally."
"Wow. That must have been angered them." Emily brushed it off thinking that it wasn't a big deal, but when she put herself in his shoes, she could not help worrying. "Did they give you a hard time because of it? Do you have enough money on you? Will it be enough to compensate for their clothes?"
The waiter nodded politely, "Sure."
"Okay, that's good." Emily didn't what was it that made her feel bad for that man. Perhaps it was his sorrowful eyes. "Try to be more careful next time. Let me pay the damages this time."
Feeling embarrassed, the waiter frowned and lowered his head. Emily was at a loss. "Did I say something to offend you?
I hope I didn't hurt your feelings."
"No, it's just that you are so kind. I don't come across people like you in my life everyday." The waiter straightened his stance and said, "I'll be careful next time."
After all, Jacob was not accustomed to doing service work, after having spent many years in a high position. He was bound to make a few mistakes here and there.
He condescended to see her merely.
Jacob began to feel doubtful again. He could feel Emily's essence from the girl, but her young appearance verified that she was too young to be his Emily.
He finally understood why Vedder was surprise when he heard that Miss Lu could be his dead wife.
