S21 50. Philip Likes You, Auntie

Louis suddenly clenched his hands into the air. “Woohoo! We’ll get together again. We’ll have fun and Philip can stop being so upset.”

Philip gasped. “I’m not upset.”

“Yeah, you’re upset.” Emily smiled teasingly. “Louis said you often sat in the back yard, looking at Auntie’s window.”

“Yeah, even this afternoon, you disappeared somewhere. Maybe you were alone in your room thinking about Auntie.”

Philip blinked rapidly. “No, I’m in your father’s study, delivering the weekly report.”

With his hands on his hips, Louis shook his head. “Don’t deny it, Philip. We know you’re the one who misses Auntie the most.”

“Yeah, you’ve been daydreaming a lot lately too. Just admit it, Philip.” Emily’s index finger wiggled as if to tickle the man.

Philip was speechless. He froze, as if one movement would be considered the correct answer. He wasn’t ready to express his

feelings.

Kara laughed again. While the twins continued to tease Philip, s said, “Good luck, Barbara. We look forward to seeing you here.”

“Yes! Come quickly, Auntie. Philip can’t wait.”

Philip’s ears were very red. Unable to contain his embarrassment any longer, he covered Louis’ mouth. “Don’t make things up, Young

Master.”

“But that-”

could no longer move. His hand reached for the phone as if hoping for help from Barbara.

Seeing that, Emily burst into laughter. “Auntie, Philip is annoyed that we keep teasing him. He caught Louis. Now, his face looks like a

boiled crab!”

With his other hand, Philip caught Emily. The tiny girl immediately sagged in his arms. Her laughter grew louder.

“Philip likes you, Auntie. Philip….”

The man finally managed to cover Emily’s mouth. However, still trying to speak. She was flailing her arms around, imitating Louis. Kara could only shake her head at their behavior.
