Daniela froze, nodding.
Lucas seemed to have guessed the answer long ago, and without saying anything, he waved his hand and left.
Daniela held the bracelet, not knowing what to say for a moment.
When Emilia woke up, she found that Lucas had already left, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Hey, why didn't you wake me up?"
"Lucas is probably flying to Beijing tomorrow, and I didn't even have time to see him off."
As she spoke, she saw the agarwood bracelet in Daniela's hand, "Why does this look so much like the bracelet Lucas is wearing?"
Daniela said, "It's his. He said he wanted to be the child's godfather, and this is the token."
Emilia's eyes widened slightly, "Didn't he refuse before?"
She quickly realized why Lucas had changed his mind. It must be because he saw the good relationship between Daniela and Sebastian, and decided to let go.
"Daniela, you really should have been struck by lightning."
Such a good man like Lucas, she didn't choose him, who else should be punished if not her?
Daniela just felt that her words were a bit strange.
She turned to ask about her New Year's affairs.
The pressure to get married has been there every year, why was Emilia reacting so strongly today? It didn't seem like it was just about the pressure to get married.
Lucas was there before, so she didn't dare ask much.
Emilia pouted, "Nothing much. It's just that Eric came knocking again."
Daniela was surprised, "Does he even have the face to come?"
Emilia "Wow"ed, "You have no idea how shameless he is. He told my mom that there was nothing between us, it was just that I had some conflicts with his family. He said they didn't mean to, they just treated me as family, so they were a bit casual, and asked me not to take it to heart. It's all small stuff, and it's been so long, any anger should have subsided. He even asked my mom to persuade me to get back together with him."
"What did your mom say?"
"My mom is easily persuaded. Besides, Eric didn't have any problems before. She heard it and immediately started to persuade me. I refused, so she arranged for me to go on blind dates, she couldn't wait to marry me off this Spring Festival. Anyway, it's very annoying."
After hearing this, Daniela could already imagine what Emilia's return home this year would be like. No wonder she didn't even finish her vacation, she just ran back.
Parents nowadays are so strange.
High school love is considered puppy love and not allowed. Once they are in university, they are told to focus on their studies first. Upon graduation, the pressure to get married starts.
Isn't this partner going to fall from the sky, no need for interaction, no need to get to know each other?
After all, once everyone enters society, they are all focused on their careers, who has time to fall in love?
In short, getting married is not that simple.
Emilia nodded, "Exactly. I'm so busy with work now, how can I even think about getting married? As soon as I get married, my mom will start pressuring me to have children. Where do I have time to have children? It's pure delaying my earning money. I won't do it!"
She is currently in the busiest internet industry, everyone is working hard while they are young.
If she gets pregnant, even if the leader has no objection, they won't give her important tasks.
Important tasks in the internet industry are all about overtime.
Who dares to make a pregnant woman work overtime?
There is also six months of maternity leave and breastfeeding leave.
All in all, three years of time will be wasted here.
Although Romero Group is a good company, it doesn't discriminate based on gender, but the cost of childbirth really exists, and no one can erase it.
Emilia realized all this, and became even more determined not to get married.
"Besides, I'm a parent now! The one in your belly is my godson!"
"Goddaughter is fine too. I'm not picky."
Daniela just found it funny.
Emilia had already started choosing betrothal gifts, saying that Lucas had given one, so she couldn't be left behind.
Daniela: …
In the evening, Sebastian came back, only to see the two of them looking at their phones and picking things.
Emilia saw Sebastian and "swoosh"ed back into the house like a mouse seeing a cat.
Sebastian: …
Daniela: …
Sebastian didn't bother with her, his eyes fell on the bracelet placed next to Daniela, his pupils constricted slightly, "Where did you get this?"
It didn't look new, it looked like it had been worn for a long time.
It also looked familiar.
Daniela said softly, "I found a dad for the baby."
