Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 149

Arabella wore an ugly look on her face. She directly took a step forward and walked ahead of Randy. Clearly, she wanted to prove that she can climb the mountain in boots.

Seeing that, Randy and others shrugged their shoulders. On the way to the mountain top, Randy would occasionally have casual chats with other team members. Emily and Vincent followed behind. Rex wasn't with them. This time, Vincent only brought a guard with him. And that guard was also the driver today. Right now, the guard was following closely behind with a bag full of bread, chocolate, and other snacks.

Janessa, who had just pretended to be taking pictures, put away her camera and waved to Armando, "Let's go."

"Show me the photos you just took." Armando reached towards the camera. He thought just now he was modelling for Janessa. He wanted to know what he looked like in Janessa's photos.

"What photos?" Janessa asked Armando. Soon she figured it out. "Oh, I know what you mean! But I didn't even take off the lens cover. How could there be any photos? Just now, I said that on purpose to avoid lending my shoes to that 'princess'."

"..."

Emma's suitcase was very neat. The clothes on the left were hers, and the right was Stony's. There was a shoebox in the middle compartment. Emma took out a pair of shoes from the box. The moment Jaquan saw it, he was somewhat stunned. "Aren't these my shoes?"

Although Emma had worn it once, based on the fragrant smell of that shoes, Jaquan knew that she must have washed it. The shoes smelled of washing powder.

"Yes, these are the shoes that I borrowed from you last time. Now I return them to you." Emma closed the suitcase again. Then she took the key, preparing to lock the door.

"There are the shoes you just talked about?" Jaquan frowned. It was hard for him to accept that.

Emma raised her head to look at him. Her expression silently answered his question.

"..."

Jaquan asked again, "Do you have any other shoes? These must be big for her."

"Yes, the shoes I am wearing." Emma pointed at her feet and said, "Will she wear my shoes?"

"..."

Jaquan knew Arabella was like a princess who was hard to please. He knew she would never wear shoes once worn by others. He could only walk out with his shoes.

Apart from the Stony, there was no one else at the door. Looking at the road ahead, Jaquan estimated that Randy and others have climbed about fifty meters. Jaquan was about to catch them up with the shoes. Then he thought of Emma, who was behind him.

She was limping. She walked rather slowly. Stony supported her and they moved up step by step.

The road to the mountaintop was paved with tree trunks. Further up was a stone staircase. A child like Stony would definitely not be able to hold up the weight of an adult.

Jaquan walked over and said, "I'll do it."

Without waiting for Emma's reply, he walked over and grabbed one of her arms to support her. However, he overestimated his impression in Emma's heart.

Emma frowned slightly, pulled back her arm to avoid his touch, and said politely and distantly, "Thank you. But there is no need to do that."

Jaquan found himself unable to understand Emma. He put the shoes in the corner of his arm and directly grabbed Emma's arm. After being rejected, there was some awkwardness on his face. "Why are you so hostile to me?"

Stony walked forward, pushed Jaquan away and said, "Let go of my mother!"

Jaquan could only loosen his grip. "I just want to be nice. Has your mother been hurt by a man before? Why she treated me..."

Emma smiled, "Yes, I was hurt by a man. So I don't like you."

"..."

Before Emma admitted, that was just his guessing. But now Jaquan knew that was the truth, which made him somewhat feel complex. Emma was indeed been abandoned by a man and raise her child on her own. No wonder she was holding a wary attitude towards men.

Jaquan was trying to change his attitude and help her in a more comforting way. Then he saw Armando running down from above. Armando directly supported Emma and said, "There's a stone staircase ahead. It was hard for you to pass that. Let me help you."

Emma nodded, "Thanks."
