But she couldn't help wanting to tell him the news immediately!
She looked at him with anticipation, waiting for his reaction.
However...
Lorne seemed to have heard nothing amiss, merely responding with a nonchalant "Hmm".
Emily leaned against the window glass, her spirits slightly deflated.
Perhaps noticing her disappointment, Lorne then seemed to realize something and added a comment.
"It's progress."
Though it was just a three-word compliment, it instantly revived Emily, and a smile quickly spread across her face.
"How did you know I was here?" Lorne stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly asked.
He had explicitly instructed his mother not to tell her that he was at City Z University, fearing it would affect her studies.
But unexpectedly, here she was.
"Stella told me…" Emily said honestly.
"…" So it was his capricious sister...
Stella had been willful since childhood, fearless and heedless of others.
Even he, Eldest Brother William, was helpless against her.
