Chapter 489
Thinking of Thomson and Gloria, Ricki nodded. "Yes."
After all, she was brought up by Gloria. They had been separated for such a long time. How could she not think about them? No matter how kind the people here were to her.
The source of the sense of security in her heart was still in Westgrad, still on Gloria and her grandfather.
Rita gently touched the little girl's head. "Do you want to go back to Westgrad first?"
She didn't want to be separated from the child, but when she thought of the current situation in New Clamport, the child stayed with her, as if... she could face all kinds of situations at any time.
She did not want to leave such a shadow in her child's heart.
Just as Ricki was about to nod, Emma suddenly appeared. "No!"
The two words started to sound so firm and serious.
Rita and the child looked at the other end of the corridor.
Emma walked towards them quickly, with a sharp wind all over her body. She looked at Rita and said, "Are you going to kill Nelson? The child must stay in New Clamport now!"
In Emma's opinion.
Whether it was Ricki or Rita, they were all the hope in Nelson's heart, so they had to stay in New Clamport.
Hearing this, Rita was full of danger.
Emma also felt the danger on her body. She took a deep breath and said, "Rita, take it that I'm begging you, at least not now?"
Both of them.
Seeing that his mother had become like this, the light in Baird's eyes... became even darker at this moment.
Back then, she had also used this attitude to ask him to leave, at least during this period of time!
But everyone knew that things would get out of control if they kept going on like this.
In fact, she also knew it very well.
"Rita, I'll ask Arthur to send you to Water Court first." Obviously, Baird didn't want to see this.
Seeing that Baird was so protective of Rita and even asked someone to send her away at this time, Emma was instantly angry!
"She hasn't seen Nelson yet. You..."
"Arthur!" Before she could finish her words, Baird interrupted her directly.
How tough his attitude was!
Emma, "..." Her whole body trembled, panting.
Emma's cold aura was constantly being released.
Arthur stepped forward and said, "Sir."
"Take them away." At this moment, Baird's tone was full of coldness and danger.
Looking at Baird like this, Rita suddenly ached.
She had never seen Baird like this, especially when it came to his family. But now, it was because of her..!
Arthur stepped forward and said, "Miss Esther, come with me first."
Seeing Baird's reaction, Emma subconsciously tried to stop them, but was held by Sienna. "Mom, I have something to tell you."
She had seen how her mother would act when she was so soft-hearted to protect the weak.
But when she saw it again, Sienna was also frightened.
Rita had seen Emma's face a long time ago, so it was not strange for her to see her now.
However, she felt that it was really strange that she had always been on her side!
Finally, Rita nodded and left with Arthur. Emma wanted to stop them, but Baird stood in front of her.
"Baird!" Emma's tone became a little heavier at this moment.
Baird said, "He can't blame anyone for what he has done today!"
"Is it time to talk about that?"
"You are blaming Rita!"
"I didn't!" Emma said in a deep voice.
She did not blame anyone, but just felt that she should do something now. She took a deep breath and suppressed the heaviness in her heart.
"Baird, you have to know what's important!"
"So you ask us compromise?" Baird's tone became sharper at this moment.
Emma: "..."
Compromise?
The way Baird looked at her was so sharp and tough.
There was no doubt that in Baird's view, the reason why she went to Westgrad in person this time was to force Rita to compromise?
The so-called moral kidnapping was just like this.
"I didn't ask her to compromise. I begged her."
"Then does she have any room to refuse?" She put all her moral principles first, and anyone who refused would violate the bottom line of morality.
"If you don't think about it well, how can she face this matter? From now on, she will stay in the Water Court, not in the hospital!"
After that, without waiting for Emma to say anything, Baird directly turned and left.
She looked at Baird.
Emma was so angry that she trembled all over. "Was I wrong?"
Looking at Sienna, her eyes were full of sadness.
Sienna: "..."
Was she wrong?
Just like what she said, she just wanted to do the more important thing. She did not ask for more.
But it was this request that was wrong.
"Mom, since Rita has arrived in New Clamport, you don't have to say anything more. They know what to do."
Looking at Baird's protective attitude toward Rita, Baird would not even agree to come to New Clamport.
But now, Rita had come to New Clamport, which also showed that Baird had compromised in this matter.
If things went on like this, things would only get worse than now, and they would not get any benefits.
Emma said, "What does he know? Look at him and Nelson right now!"
As soon as she thought that Nelson was dying, Emma was very angry.
"He's dying because of her. How can she be so cold-blooded?"
Thinking of this, Emma couldn't overcome the hurdle in her heart.
Sienna wanted to persuade her, but she couldn't say anything in the face of Emma.
...
Rita took the child back to Water Court first. She originally wanted to go back to Biltmore Estate, but now she came to New Clamport. Baird was probably not happy.
After thinking for a while, she finally gave up the idea of Biltmore Estate.
When Baird came back, he saw they were playing together. Just as he was about to go forward.
Terry suddenly appeared.
"Sir."
The moment he spoke, not only did he have a solemn expression on his face, but he also spoke in a solemn tone.
"What's wrong?" Baird said.
Terry subconsciously looked in the direction of Rita. Baird frowned and said, "Let's go to the study."
"Yes."
Terry withdrew his gaze from Rita and Ricki and turned to follow Baird upstairs.
Upstairs.
It formed two different kinds of auras. The downstairs was gentle and peaceful, and the upstairs was full of murderous intent!
About two hours later, Baird came out of the study. At that moment, his breath was heavy, and he looked at Rita with great waves in his eyes.
No one knew what was surrounding him at the moment. He walked to Rita and held her in his arms.
He wanted to suppress the dangerous aura on his body. Just like in the past, no matter what happened, he would always be gentle in front of her.
But now, he couldn't do that no matter how hard he tried.
"What's wrong?" Rita clearly felt Baird's strangeness. She looked back at him, but Baird held her tightly.
"Don't move. Let me hold you for a while." It was obvious that she was right in front of him. They had only been separated for a few years.
However, it was as if a lifetime had passed and he had almost lost her completely.
