Charlie let out a chuckle, "Who was it again that cto tellJosiah got married? It wasn'tseeking you out, was it?"
Mrs. James couldn't help but laugh, waving her hand dismissively, "Oh,e on now. A mother knows her child best. | understand
what's going on in that head of yours. Why don't you take Kya out for sfun? I'll take care of Emily here!"

After waiting a few minutes, Mrs. James saw Emily emerge and greeted her with a gentle smile, "Emily, dear,e sit."
Emily, sensing Mrs. James had something important to discuss, tensed up a little but managed a graceful smile, "Auntie!"
Mrs. James cut to the chase, "Josiah is a few years younger than Charlie, and he's already married. | just asked Charlie when you
two are planning on tying the knot, and he toldto ask you. What do you think?"
Emily was momentarily taken aback, not immediately responding.
She wasn't quite sure what Mrs. James was getting at; was this a test, or was she suggesting Emily leave Charlie?
In that brief moment of silence, Emily had already prepared her response if Mrs. James suggested she leave—she wouldn't. She
couldn't imagine being apart from Charlie again.
Mrs. James, noticing Emily's hesitation, softened her expression, "Don't overthink it, dear. We're just having a chat. After all this
time, there are things we ought to discuss openly and honestly."
Emilyposed herself, "Go ahead."
