A very old grandfather⦠Beau frowned and put down the newspaper. He pretended to be carefree and asked, âWhat Mr. Valentine?â âRoseane introduced him to me.â Eliza quickly put away the gift box. âIt was all thanks to Mr. Valentine that I was able to participate in the audition so smoothly this time, and I also received a good result in the end.â After speaking, she looked at Beau and smiled, âMr. Valentine is an interesting elder.â âAt first, I thought that he was of the same generation as us, but later I found that he didnât understand emoji.â âEvery time I send him an emoji, he only responded after a long time.â Beau lightly frowned and picked up the newspaper to cover his face. He said in a low voice, âDoes it mean that someone is old if they donât understand emoji?â Eliza frowned. âWhat do you think then?â She sent an emoji that was easy for Mr. Valentine to understand but every time Mr. Valentine would take a long time to react. So, he must be an old man, right?â After that, she looked at Beau doubtfully. âWhy are you talking about this suddenly?â An ominous premonition welled up in her heart⦠O The woman glanced at the inverted newspaper and said weakly, âErm⦠Mr. Valentine.â âYou⦠canât understand emoji also?â
âHow is this possible?â The manâs voice was cold. âI donât want to waste time on things without connotation.â After saying that, Beau realized that the newspaper in his hand was inverted. He frowned, stood up directly, and strode upstairs. 2 Eliza sat still as she stared blankly at the manâs back. She didnât know why, but she felt like he was⦠angry? Braint and the Demarion, who were behind Eliza, looked at each other. It seemed that their daddy was knocked back!
So Demarion coughed slightly and said, âMommy, I think that we canât judge Mr. Valentineâs age by his understanding in emoji. âMaybe he is a handsome young man who doesnât like online surfing!â Eliza pursed her lips and said, âBut⦠Mr. Valentineâs job requires him to surf the Internet.â âBang!â Just as Eliza finished speaking, the sound of the study door being closed came from upstairs. Braint shook his head helplessly, closed his laptop, and stood up. âIâm going upstairs.â Their daddy needed comfort now.
Demarion gave Eliza a look and continued to speak righteously. âMommy, do you want to meet this Mr.
Valentine?â Eliza nodded, âOf course!â Mr. Valentine had helped her so much. How could she not thank him personally? Demarion took a deep breath, as if he had thought of something. He started laughing suspiciously, âThen Mommy, when the time comes, Iâll help you choose your clothes when you meet with Mr. Valentine!â Eliza was stunned for a moment and asked, âYou donât have to, do you?â Iâm just going to see an elder⦠âItâs necessary!â Demarion said with a serious face, âAfter all, Mr. Valentine is a very important person to you, mommy!â At this moment, in the study upstairs. Demarion climbed onto Beauâs desk, sat down and then turned on the laptop in his hand. D There were thousands of emoji in the laptop.
âDaddy, youâre usually too serious.â âIn order to avoid embarrassment next time.â The little fellow pointed the computer screen at Beau and said, âI suggest you learn what youngsters like to use these days.â
Beau looked at him coldly and said, âI donât want to learn.â He would not make things so difficult for himself just because of a woman. He admit that he was old and he wouldnât waste time on such trivial things! Braint crossed his arms around his chest and looked at Beau with his bright black eyes. âDaddy, are you really not going to learn?â The man looked at him faintly, turned his head and switched on the computer. He then opened the financial report in the email, and read it carefully. Braint was not in a hurry. The little boy poured himself a glass of water, sat on the desk, took out his cell phone and called Matthew. âMatthew.â
âBraint!â At the other end of the phone, Matthewâs voice was filled with shock. âWhy did you call me?â âI didnât expect my arrogant and indifferent cousin will call me one day!â âItâs my honorâ¦â âMatthew, youâre too noisy.â Matthew stopped talking the moment Braint finished speaking. âYouâre not here to keep in touch with me, are you?â âIf thereâs anything you need help with, just tell Brother Matthew. I will do my best!â Matthew knew very well that this little boy Braint was actually a replica of Beau. He would have a bright future ahead of him! He wanted to cling on to this little fellow before he grew up. âI want to ask you a question.â Braint curled his lips slightly, his voice still faint, âCan a man who doesnât understand emoji court a woman who likes to use emoji?â
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, Matthew smiled and said, âOnly this?â âThatâs right.â âAre you kidding? Itâs impossible to court her!â On the other end of the line, Matthewâs voice was full of mockery. âIsnât it too dumb if you donât understand emoji?â Braint lightly curled his lips and placed the phone beside Beauâs hand. âPlease, a man who doesnât understand emoji, wants to chase the woman who likes to use emoji. Heâs dreaming, isnât he?â âIâm sure the woman will think heâs boring. Donât you think so?â The atmosphere in the study room began to grow cold. Matthew was still talking on the other end of the phone. He knew that Braint had asked him this question because he wanted him to give such an answer. Therefore, in order to please Briant, Matthew deliberately exaggerated the matter. âNow even my grandfather knows how to use the emoji. If the man you said doesnât understand emoji, then heâs worse than an old man!â âWhy donât you introduce that girl to me? I can understand emoji and use it to perfection as well. She will definitely fall in love with me!â âIs that so?â
A suppressed cold voice sounded. âYouâre dead.â Matthewâs voice stopped abruptly. âUncle.. Uncle Beau?â âItâs me.â Beau coldly narrowed his eyes. âI heard that you want to seduce your aunt?â
Matthew: â!â
He was so scared that his mouth trembled. âUncle, uncle, Uncle Beau!â âYou listen to me! No, listen to my explanation!â
âI⦠â
Beau frowned coldly and hung up the phone. Braint crossed his arms and looked up at him. âDaddy, do you still think itâs useless to learn these things?â
The man looked up at him and said nothing. The father and son looked at each other. Both of them refused to admit defeat as they were equally stubborn. âDingâ!â Suddenly, Beauâs cell phone, which was in the drawer, rang. It was the text message sent by Eliza to âMr. Valentineâ. It was an emoji of a cute rabbit. The man showed the phone to Braint with a cold face and asked, âHow do I reply?â
