"Emerald !, get down there..you might fall"
Her nanny Lorie shouted at her in confusion.
"Get down, you brat, you might fall .." shouted again by her yaya lorie with bewildered cry.
"Hihihihi" Emerald laughed as she came down from the mango tree.
Nanny Lorie's nags to emerald after coming down.
"Oh you brat, get inside the mansion your sister Kristina has a visitor"
Emerald's eyes rolled as her sister Cristina probably had a visitor, only one person visits the mansion to visit her sister Kristina it is the eldest child of the Zobel de Ayala.
"Kuya Vincent!" , shouted as she ran into the mansion.
Aling Lorie was just shaking and smiling as she watched emerald running into the mansion. Since she was born she took care of that brat and the her age of fifteen she was a very beautiful child so she just had a young mind and if she could climb a tree you would think she was a man. Alas, almost all the trees in the whole hacienda wanted to climb.
"Hello emerald, is your sister Kristina there?" Vincent said as he stood up from sitting on the living room of the mansion.
"Hah? I don't know brother Vincent" Emerald didn't know to heeself why she answered that to the man.
She doesn't know why she felt annoyed when the first thing ehe looked for was her elder sister, I'm also beautiful like my sister. Emerald couldn't help but frown.
"Oh Why that kind of facial expression?, do you think I don't have anything for you ? At the same time, he was confused and smiled at Emerald's long hair.
Why do you think that older brother Vincent's smile became even more attractive to me? the man who is becoming more prominent With his cleft chin.
"Oh here, your favorite chocolates, my mom and dad brought from touring abroad" Vincent handed the chocolates to Emerald at the same time.
~ ~ Emerald immediately reached those chocolates smiling widely.
"Oh Why is your shorts dirty"? The young man noticed Emerald's dirty on it.
"You know that child is like a boy, the day is not complete if she can't climb the trees around the mansion oh so to the hacienda."Nanny Lorie replied next by Emerald who entered the mansion.
"Yaya Naman eh, I'm not a child anymore" Emerald stomped her feet on the marble floor of the mansion at the same time, she didn't know but she didn't want to be called a child especially in front of Vincent. He frowned again.
"Hahahaha, Vincent's laughter could be heard loudly," is this girl still climbing the trees? "Vincent laughed teasing Emerald, he was very fond with the bride's little , he was close to her because he does not have a female siblings, so he treated Emerald a younger sister.
" Duh I'm not young anymore noh?" Emerald frowned even more, she wanted herself to be grown up lady on the eyes of his older brother Vincent.
"Dont climb the trees anymore, you might fall and besides you are a girl" Vincent ruffled Emerald's hair again before turning to nanny Lorie.
" Is Kristina here a yaya? "he asked Emerald's smiling nanny.
" She might Come down any moment iho,she just having a rest because of a jetlag from travelling with her mother"
Emerald feels disgusted that Vincent is here because of her sister.She immediately went up to his room.
She saw Kristina in the middle of the stairs, she was beautiful on her lilac dress that matched her white and porcelain complexion.
Insidw the room, She looked at the princess sized mirror given by her father on hiee 15th bday from his business trip to Egypt, she was not satisfied with what she saw. Except for her sharp nose that ahe inherited from her late mother and thin lips that naturally have redness and narrowed eyes that he inherited from her father, she has nothing compared to her sister Kristina.
In addition, she has dark skin brought on by frequent bathing in the sea that is part of their hacienda. Is it like Vincent just treats me like as his sister? Because she is not as beautiful as her sister? She thought.
That even this male boyfriend of the older sister still does not pay attention on her.
Emerald just sighed and started eating the chocolate given by the man.
