Weston did not react to her comment.
The glittering eyes of Emma staring at him softened his heart, so he said, “Just let her play for a while, it won‘t do
any harm.”
Stella seemed very upset and wasn‘t looking good.
When the waiter returned with a tablet, she picked Emma up, paying no attention to the waiter.
Knowing she was angry, Weston told the waiter to leave first. “It‘s only for a short while before the meal,” he said
softly. “I think that she is simply interested in the tablet, not that she wants to play games or anything. Children are
normally curious.”
As if agreeing with what he said, Emma reached her hands out in the direction of the tablet. “Mommy, I want to
play!”
Stella sighed. “Just for a short time. You must put it away when we eat later, alright?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmma nodded.
“Promise!”
Emma then solemnly stretched out her finger and made a pinky swear with her.
Locking the pinkies signified a promise.
Stella touched Emma‘s nose gently and let go of her.
Emma sat happily beside Weston and asked him to teach her how to use the tablet. “Teach me, Unkie!”
Weston assumed that Emma would be a slightly slower learner than Elias. Elias might have very high intelligence,
but Emma might just be an introvert.
However, it didn‘t occur to him that her learning speed was equally amazing
She simply did not like to talk, especially when there were strangers around. She was timid, so she might appear
naive like other children.
However, her ability to grasp knowledge was fast.
Moreover, at such a young age, she already knew how to synthesize the knowledge she had.
She managed to figure out how to navigate the interface in just a short time.
Weston rubbed her head, and his eyes softened even more.
Seeing them getting along very well with each other, Stella could not say what she felt in her heart. In fact, she had
also pondered about how the lack of fatherly love would affect the two children these three
years.
Elias and Emma were the most important people to her in this world. She was willing to do anything for them.
However, she couldn‘t give them a father.
She read a lot of books on parenting and knew that children growing up in single–parent families would inevitably
face many challenges growing up and that the strange looks from onlookers would impact them greatly.
If possible , growing up in a happy and complete family would be best.
Yet, it was true that she could not be the mother and the father. Even if she could play the two roles at the same
time, she couldn‘t do it perfectly.
Therefore, she was not so resistant to the idea of letting Weston interact with them. But now, she was more

that he couldn‘t steal them away.
She needed to think ahead and not just considered the near future.
The children would grow up one day and have the right to know the truth.
As long as Weston could benefit the growth of Elias and Emma, she could only treat him as a tool.
Sure enough, when they were about to start eating, and while the dishes were served one by one, Emma was still
holding the tablet tightly, without any sense of letting go.
Stella frowned and reminded her. “It‘s time to eat.”
Hugging the table, Emam pouted and shook her head.” No, I still want to play!”
She was playing a game, tapping her finger rapidly on the screen, and there were some interesting sound effects.
The furrow in Stella‘s brows deepened, and she reminded Emma once more. “Didn‘t you promise me that you will
put it down before we eat?”
