    lot of people here.”


    “Why is Martin there too?”


    Emily bit her lip, “He was just passing by, came to visit my mother, and happened to be here!”


    “Emily, do you take me for a fool?” Charlie asked sarcastically


    To his surprise, Emily answered seriously, “No!”


    Not sure if she was messing with him, he got even angrier, “Are you treating me like an idiot then?!”
