Chapter 146: Challenge!


    Emmett feels wonderful the way ine lying in his arms.


    His arm is still holding her waist. He points at her with another hand and continues asking Kayden, “I


    mean, it is already evening. Can’t you give her a shawl or something when she runs out? It is chilly at


    night. She isn’t strong like you and me. What if she catches a cold and falls sick?”


    Kayden secretly mumbles, “We can go and see a doctor if she falls sick. Look at how you reacted. Is


    she a princess or something?”


    “Yes, young master. You, go and get a cape for her,” Kayden instructs one of the gangs to go and get a


    cape for ine.


    “Young master, here’s the cape,” a young guy approaches Emmett and hands over a red cape.


    The cape is soft and fluffy. It is like holding a fluffy animal, just like how thedies like it.


    Emmett takes the cape, covers it onto ine’s shoulder and ties a knot under her neck. Emmett only


    stops after it makes ine looks like a doll.


    “I said I don’t feel cold. I don’t need this.” ine finally gets to get away from Emmett’s hug. She takes


    a few steps back and rolls her eyes as she touches the cape on her shoulder.


    Emmett calmly looks at ine, who stays away from him. He then drinks the ss of water his servant


    hands him. His eyes still locked onto ine, “It is chilly at night. I don’t want to carry you to the doctor if


    you catch a cold. Be good.”


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    It sounds like he is talking to his daughter.


    Emmett almost burst inughter the moment he lowers his head and sees the fluffy slippers ine is


    wearing.


    “This is all you are wearing? Aren’t you afraid of getting tripped?”


    “What’s wrong with these? It is soft andfy,” ine looks at her feet and feels confused.


    The beautiful slippers are now dirty. There are grasses, dirt and dews on them.


    Emmett stands with his arms akimbo, lowers his body and pokes ine’s forehead with his long


    fingers, “ine, do you know that the slippers family will hate you for what you did to this little slippers?


    Look at you. Look at what you have done to the pretty slippers.”


    “Now, I will punish you on behalf of the slippers family. Are you ready for your punishment?”


    “What…What punishment?” ine blinks her eyes and feels confused, “I…I can go and clean it up.


    What’s the offence here?”


    “The slippers are angry. They want punishments for you,” while talking, Emmett carries ine with his


    arms and starts spinning her rapidly on the spot.


    “Let me down! No… I feel dizzy… dizzy…” ine holds on tightly onto Emmett’s shirt. She closes her


    eyes and screams.


    The sky is spinning, and the earth is floating. The trees around them are dancing rapidly.


    Kayden secretlyughs at the romantic couple while leaning on the trunk of a tree, “Young master


    seems to be getting more humane these days.”


    Many years after, ine still remembers her innocent eighteen years old where she was deeply loved


    and spoiled by Emmett.


    Emmett insists on carrying ine on their way back.


    “Let me down. I can walk by myself. I don’t feel dizzy now. Really! It’s not too far. It’s not tiring.”


    Looking at the handsome face of Emmett, ine emphasizes her opinion again and again.


    Emmett too insists on his opinion. He wants to carry her all the way back to their house.


    A group of men silently follows behind Emmett.


    At this moment, ine has an illusion that Emmett owns everything in the world, and he is willing to


    give it all to her.


    Oh, it sounds so romantic! These are all storylines from novels. Could it happen to her in reality?


    Emmett puts ine down on the couch and goes to shower after that.


    ine sits on the couch and starts to binge-watch. Since she couldn’t understand what they are talking


    on the television shows, she could pick and watch a silentedy!


    “This person is interesting,” ineughs and speaks to Kayden while she enjoys her snacks.


    “I don’t want to talk to you,” Kayden purposely ignores ine and looks at the ceiling.


    ine twitches her lips when she sees Kayden’s cold reaction. She looks at Kayden and asks, “What


    are we having as dinner tonight, Kayden?”


    “How would I know? You should ask young master,” Kayden throws ine an answer which she


    wouldn’t know how to respond.


    At the same time, the mobile phone on the table rings. It is Emmett’s mobile phone.


    ine snoops over and sees the name on the screen- Juliana.


    Isn’t her the foreignerdy that has a wild look that they saw earlier? The tall one with a big bust, thin


    waist and golden hair.


    ine doesn’t like it when she thinks of how tightly Juliana and Emmett hugged earlier.


    She walks over and takes Emmett’s phone. However, Kayden reminds her, “Hey, I advise you to put


    that phone down right away. The young master doesn’t like people messing up with his stuff. If he gets


    angry, no one could save you from his rage.”


    ine replies Kayden in a snit, “I’m the assistant of President Smith. It is within my job scope to pick up


    phone calls for him. What can you do?”


    She picks up the phone and starts the conversation with her a lovely tone, “Hello.”


    Juliana is obviously stunned. She pauses for a second then straightforwardly replies while she flips her


    hair and squints her eyes, “Hello, can I speak to Emmett, please?”


    Juliana speaks fluent Chinesenguage.


    How would ine know beforehand that Juliana has been an intelligent woman all along and it is in her


    blood that she is domineering? Juliana has mastered fivenguages since young and she is well-


    trained in both martial arts and business operation. Generally speaking, she is the female version of


    Emmett.


    Juliana is aggressive, smart, capable and managerial.


    “You wish to speak with President Smith? He is in the shower right now. I will inform him to call you


    back once he is free, alright?” ine is shocked by Juliana‘s cold tone, so she quickly answers.


    “It’s fine. It’s nothing big. I want to reconfirm our date tonight. We are supposed to have dinner tonight,


    and he is going to stay over at my house. Alright, I will call backter. Goodbye.”


    “Bye…” ine’s eyes are wide open out of surprise. She slowly put the phone down.


    What an arrogant woman! Juliana is obviously challenging ine!


    The dinner and the stayover tonight… If this isn’t a challenge, then what is it?


    But wait… Isn’t ine a nobody to Emmett? He was just casually saying that she is his girlfriend. No…


    his original words were “my woman”.


    What is ine’s reason to be jealous with Juliana then?


    Hold on a minute! Jealous?


    “Am I jealous? Wait, why should I be jealous? I shouldn’t be! Isn’t it normal for a sessful man like


    Emmett to have many lovers and admirers?” ine immediately feels depressed. The content of the


    television show can no longer make herugh anymore.


    After showering, Emmett changes into a more refreshed and smart attire.


    ine points at the mobile phone and says, “Juliana called. I picked it up for you. She says she is


    going to call you back regarding on your date and that you are staying over at her ce tonight.”


    “What?” Emmett frowns.


    Why did Juliana lie? When did he promise her to stay over at her ce tonight?


    All he did was asked her out for a business dinner to confirm the details on their coboration. It is all


    about the coboration they are going to have!


    The mafias in Italy are always the leader of the underground groups in Europe.


    The arms trade, high-pay assassinations, and massive amounts of drug dealings, it is all the mafia


    doing.


    Coborating with them strengthens the ZH n. Of course, it is significant.


    Juliana is the daughter of the current ruler of the mafia group. She is favoured and capable. Rumour


    has it that she could kill nine assassins who tries to assassinate her with bare hands.


    It doesn’t matter what Juliana thinks about him, but Emmett can never underestimate this coboration


    partner of his.


    Emmett pats ine’s head and asks lightly, “What do you want to have for dinner?”


    ine’s eyes light up immediately, “Are you not going to have dinner with Juliana?”


    “I am. What I meant was, whatever you want to eat, I can ask Kayden to get it for you.”


    ine’s heart is like a popped balloon. She has got nothing to expect right away.


    “I see. Juliana isn’t lying. Emmett has a date with her, and it seems like he is going to sleep with her


    tonight.” ine’s heart feels heavy, and she doesn’t like the feeling of it.
