Henderson Family Anniversary

Sitting on the swing, Emily felt quite content watching the kids play around eagerly, their figures scattered across the vast field of the orphanage home chatting animatedly.

After playing with them non-stop in the morning she had gotten tired so she decided to take a rest.

This was the Westside Orphanage Home, a place she visits occasionally after arriving at the city of New York.

She was on a shopping spree back then , shopping and playing around not wanting to disturb the always busy Lucian and Mark. Then she discovered the orphanage home which has since then become a must visit for her .

She glanced heavenward lost in her thought, it was only when she realized the swing was moving slowly, someone was pushing the swing that she turned over only to ram her head into his chest. Levii.

"Little Miss Innocent, I bet you can't wait to strip me again ". Levii chuckled teasing her and she couldn't help but blush furiously.

"Hmmph", She turned back to gaze at the kids playing around and let him push the swing.

"It's so fuffiling ". She sighed. "Watching them play".

" I think it'll be more fuffiling to be out there in the company of their loved ones but . . ", He replied his obsidian eyes flickered with the merest hint of sadness.

Emily nod her head affirmatively. " By the way why are you here, it doesn't seems typical for someone of your caliber to be here". She rolled her eyes.

" Someone of my caliber". He laughed. "You make me seem so distinguished and dignified, by the way where do you suppose I'd be ?".

" At the club as usual, schmoozing and playing around". Emily replied as she got down from the swing walking further into the orphanage home with Levii trailing behind.

" Why don't I understand, playing around with who?". Levii asked as an innocent expression crossed his features.

" Don't play dumb with me". Emily hissed and walked away.

" Oh my poor heart". Levii clutched his chest. " So you think I'm a playboy".

" I don't think you are, I know you are". Emily blurted plainly.

" Or, are you jealous?".

" Jealous my ass ", Emily scoffed, refuting immediately.

" You have such a great and gentle lady but you keep flirting around". Emily added caressing her nude polished nails. "What a pity".

" How so , aren't I only here with you ?". He chuckled standing before her , his brows raised playfully.

" You seem to know all the routes here, even I don't know this much", Emily said quizzically, her eyebrows raised in confusion.

" Well, I grew up here". He answered.

" Hmmph, playing the pity card ".

" Silly". He flicked her head playfully. " I'm being serious here, I used to be an orphan".

" Used to be ?". Emily gazed at him inquisitively awaiting his explanation which was cut short by the beeping sound of his private cellphone which he answered immediately.

By the time Levii ended the call, they had already gotten to a nearby cafe . As soon as they got seated she asked him the question she had been pondering on.

" Earlier, you said you used to be an orphan". Emily's uttered her curious eyes lasered onto his calm ones quizzically.

" Yes, I once lived in the orphanage". Levii answered her as he placed his order.

" Then how did you become the biological Young Master Weston, you can fool everyone but not me". Emily hissed suddenly uninterested.

" What if I am indeed fooling you and what if I'm not". He chuckled. " This move is called being pitiful to gain the beauty's sympathy".

" Well I have no iota of sympathy towards you". Emily harrumphed. " If you dare to flirt around again, I'm phoning Miss Louise".

" Well I'm flirting with you now, why aren't you phoning her, go ahead".

" Miss Louise sure is unlucky to have a flirtatious fiancé like you", Emily sighed.

" Really ". Levii chuckled as he answered his phone while she placed her order.

"This is indeed the best and viable option I could proffer, retreat a step backwards, let them feel the momentum of glory and loosen their guards then advancing foward and rendering them helpless".

Emily watched him as he spoke softly onto the phone with an innocent expression as if he wasn't concocting an evil scheme, his features vividly defined that she couldn't help but gush over his appearance.

"Rest assured, this time nothing will go wrong, aren't I best at being useless".

"Let's set it for tomorrow then, at the Henderson family anniversary, alright".

Emily glanced upward at him immediately as she heard him mention the Henderson family name, she couldn't help but be curious at what he was scheming.

"What are you going to do tomorrow, what are you planning to do at the Henderson anniversary ?". Emily asked curiously.

" Why are you so riled up, do you worry about I or him ?". Levii asked. " Besides what do you think I have in plan for tomorrow?".

" Of course I worry about you, although you're crafty, cunning and unpredictable you're nothing in comparison to Lucian so you better back off ". Emily analysed.

" Wow, at least you're worried about me but I have to say you underestimate me ". Levii chuckled. " But rest assured I'm not planning on harming anyone, I just plan on entertaining them all by putting up a show , besides no matter what I'll spare the one you love". He added and she hissed.

" What ". He chuckled.

"He isn't my man or whatsoever you're thinking dumbass ". Emily replied.

"Oh my, my poor little darling is heartbroken".

"Get lost". She chuckled gazing at his expression.

"Okay". Levii raised his hands. "Then how do you explain, that night we shared together, you kept calling his name so . ."

"So what ". She blushed , her cheeks flushed pink in embarrassment.

"He deserves to be happy with the one he loves not to be badgered by me and besides his wife is a good friend of mine".

"Heaven and earth are boundless, I'll surely find someone who'll love me wholeheartedly". She concluded.

"Search no more Mlady, let me love you wholeheartedly ". Levii teased and she spluttered almost choking on her tea.

" I'll rather remain unmarried for the rest of my life ".

" I'm giving you the chance to take back your words. ."

" Never".
