Chapter 622:
One had to know that Ruben had been coveting Emily for a long time. She was afraid that Emily would be
consumed by him. Stella was telling the truth: not only had Emily been consumed by Ruben, but he had also
taken everything.
Emily closed her eyes and told herself not to look at Ruben’s face. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to help but
ruin his expression.
Looking at Emily’s little face, Ruben smiled and gently bent down to put her into the bathtub. Then he climbed in
as well. Fortunately, the bathtub in Edward's house was big enough.
Emily now wanted to break the connection that had formed with Ruben. If it weren't for her lack of strength, she
would have certainly wanted to do it.
Stella thought about it for a while and decided to call Emily; otherwise, she wouldn't be at ease.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Stella prayed in her heart that the call would be answered
quickly. Perhaps Stella's prayer was effective; someone finally picked up, but it wasn’t Emily.
“Sister-in-law, what can | do for you?” Ruben looked at the bath towel in his hand and thought of Emily, and the
corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

“Ruben!” Stella couldn’t believe it was his voice. She took her phone away and looked at it, only to find that she
had dialed the right number.
Stella didn’t speak, and neither did Ruben. He was waiting for her to speak first.
“Did you eat Emily?” Stella was indeed very curious now, so she asked subconsciously. She forgot that RK was
not the only one beside her; Adrian was there too.
“Sister-in-law, you're right.” After saying that, Ruben hung up the phone. He still remembered that Emily was
soaking in the water.
After Ruben hung up, Stella was still in a daze. She hadn't expected that Ruben would be so bold with Emily.
RK didn’t seem surprised at all, as if he had already known about it.

Adrian looked at Stella and RK, unsure if he should ask about how his uncle had eaten Emily.
RK rubbed Adrian’s hair and smiled at Stella, feeling that Ruben had done the best thing he had ever done.
He watched as Ruben chased after Emily every day and couldn't catch up to her. He wanted to tell Ruben that it
was fine if he went after Emily; it seemed that Ruben would figure it out on his own without him saying anything.
Not bad, it was worthy of praise.
Stella looked at RK’s expression and knew that he must be thinking about something mischievous.
Seeing RK'’s sly smile, Stella subconsciously sat back down, feeling a very bad premonition in her heart. She
sensed that RK was certainly scheming against her.
If RK had known what Stella was thinking, he would have praised her for guessing half of it right. After all, RK
didn’t think it was a scheme; he just wanted their family to reunite faster.
When Ruben returned to the bathroom, he saw Emily sleeping in the bathtub because she was too tired.
Ruben gently picked Emily up, and she cooperated by putting her arms around his neck.
Ruben covered Emily with a bath towel and carried her out of the bathroom. He gently placed her on the bed and
used a dry towel to wipe her hair, which was still dripping with water. He tucked her in, kissed her on the
forehead gently, and went out.
When Ruben arrived in the living room, Stella was already sitting there, watching him walk down the stairs with a
very unfriendly gaze.
“Sister-in-law, about what happened between us, we can talk about it later. | will make sporridge for Emily
first.” Ruben went downstairs, asked where the kitchen was, and rushed in immediately. He didn’t want to stay
and listen to Stella’s questions.
“Does your brother know how to cook?” Stella looked at RK and asked curiously, forgetting that this was not the
main point.
“I don’t know.” RK answered Stella’s question with three words. Stella had a look of disbelief on her face but had
no choice but to believe it. It was true that RK didn’t know.
He usually chatted with Ruben through video calls or phone calls. Other than living together at home, they
hadn't seen each other for the rest of the time. Ruben didn’t need to cook at home, so RK had no clue.
“Darling, do you think Godmother has becBig Aunt?” Adrian looked at Stella curiously and wanted to know
the answer.
“When you see your godmother, you can ask her.” Sometimes, Stella didn’t know how to answer Adrian's
questions. Every the asked, it caught her off guard. It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to answer; it was just
that she needed time.
Adrian looked at Stella and realized it was useless to ask her, so he turned his head to look at RK, who also shook
his head, indicating that he didn’t know. Besides, he didn’t care about Ruben; he was focused on making Stella
happy.
Adrian pursed his lips and said, “Well, since they didn’t tell me, | can only wait for Uncle to ask him when he has
time. Why not ask Emily? Because he doesn’t want to be abused by her.”
After cooking the porridge, Ruben carried it upstairs, ignoring the three people sitting on the sofa. Right now, he
could only think about Emily.
