Secretly Married to a Wealthy Husband - Chapter 711

Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Thomas Emiliano’s Unusual Gaze
 

“Mr. Stuart, it’s been a long time since we last met. Here’s a toast to you.” Thomas Emiliano took his eyes off Emily Walker, poured himself a cup of wine, then lifted it towards Baron Stuart with a light smile at the corner of his mouth.

Baron Stuart, however, didn’t even glance at him and continued to focus on taking care of Emily Walker’s meal, as if she were a child at that moment.

With no response from him, Thomas Emiliano’s hand holding the wine glass naturally remained stiff in midair.

Graham Berkeley, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t help but feel puzzled upon seeing this.

Although Baron Stuart’s status and influence were not to be underestimated, Thomas Emiliano also had considerable power in C. Was Baron Stuart not even going to give him face?

Seeing the atmosphere growing tense, Graham Berkeley reluctantly stepped in to make a light joke, attempting to break the stalemate.

“Mr. Cairo, I’ll also toast to you——”

Before he finished speaking, Thomas Emiliano raised his hand to interrupt him, revealing an unwarranted shallow smile. “Chairman Walker, you don’t need to care too much. I suppose we insignificant people aren’t worth Mr. Stuart’s attention. It’s fine.”

After saying this, his eyes inadvertently looked towards Baron Stuart’s expressionless and icy-cold face.

After so many years, he was still as cold and heartless towards him.

In the beginning, Emily Walker’s gaze also kept looking at Thomas Emiliano. Every time he stared at Baron Stuart, she could see it all clearly.

“What are you looking at?” Since he knew that her appetite had been poor these few days and she finally started eating, Baron Stuart naturally wanted her to eat more.

But when he looked up, he found her staring at Thomas Emiliano across from her, feeling increasingly irritated.

Emily Walker was stunned upon hearing this and immediately withdrew her line of sight, “Huh? What?”

“…” Baron Stuart looked up, his charming face looking slightly gloomy.

She was actually so absorbed in looking at another man?

“Are you full?” He looked at her with evident dissatisfaction and asked grumpily.

Emily Walker hesitated and looked at the bowl of pickled vegetables Baron Stuart had selected for her, regaining her senses, “Oh, I don’t have much appetite.”

“Then stop eating and let’s go home.” After saying this, Baron Stuart stood up and pulled her with him.

Caught off guard by this sudden action, Emily Walker had no time to say anything before she was already pulled to the entrance of the private room door.

“Dad, we’re going home now——” Before her words fell, she had disappeared at the entrance of the private room door.

Watching the two holding hands and leaving, Thomas Emiliano’s hand holding the wine glass involuntarily tightened.

The dinner became more awkward with Baron Stuart’s arrival, and Graham Berkeley couldn’t help but step in to smooth things over, “Mr. Cairo, don’t take it to heart. Baron Stuart has always been like this.”

In this world, not to mention outsiders, even Old Master Stuart sometimes wouldn’t receive respect from Baron Stuart.

Thomas Emiliano withdrew his sight, the unusual glimmer in his eyes disappearing, replaced by his usual calm. He smiled and asked, “Chairman Walker, you seem to know him very well?”

Upon hearing this, Graham Berkeley smiled lightly, “Hehe, our families have been long-standing friends, and we know each other quite well.”

“Really? What is the relationship between Lady Silas and him? It seems that Mr. Stuart cares about her a lot.”

When it came to Emily Walker, Graham Berkeley naturally felt pleased.

Perhaps after decades, they might not even see Baron Stuart caring for a woman like this.

Nowadays, for them, it was like a pie in the sky had fallen on Emily Walker’s head because this man, Baron Stuart, was something many women and prominent families longed for but couldn’t reach.
