《My Doting Husband》 Chapter 1 An Unappetizing Video Chapter 1 An Unappetizing Video Britain. In the suite of Hilton Hotel, the lights were not on. Emma Powell was holding an iPad. The flickering light made her face looked colorful. The screen was ying an unappetizing video. It was her boyfriend Ivan Barnes and her bestie and ¡°Nadia¡± Kate Booth. Kate tired hard to please Ivan. Ivan wasfortable with his mouth slightly open, eyes blurred, but waspletely unaware that it had been recorded. Emma gritted her teeth and mmed the iPad onto the bed. Her mobile phone suddenly rang and it came the enigmatic voice of Joey Thomas. ¡°Emma, have you seen the video I just sent to your email? How is it? Is it exciting? Are you surprised?¡± ¡°Joey, what do you want, cut the crap and don¡¯t make me sick.¡± Emma vented her angry of Ivan¡¯s betrayal on Joey. ¡°Come on, be mad at that couple! Don¡¯t do that to me! By the way, do you want toe back and kill those two scumbags with your own hands? I think you shitty! I have sharpened the long knife of 40 meters for you,e to take it.¡± ¡°Cut the crap and book me a flight!¡± With that, Emma hung up the phone. ... L City International Airport. When Emma came out of the airport, she saw a ck Audi parked in the waiting area. The man in front of the Audi was smoking a cigarette with his head down, half his face almost buried in the smoke as a puff of smoke came from his nose and mouth. The man raised his head and found Emma came out from the exit carrying a suitcase, he immediately put out the smoke and came to meet her. Emma did not say a word but pped on his face. Ivan was stunned by that and then asked, ¡°Emma, what do you mean? Why did you hit me?¡± Emma did not answer his question, but gave him another p. Ivan''s face suddenly changed after he was pped twice in a row. He looked at Emma angrily and said, ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Emma raised her chin, looked at him with disdain on her face, and said, ¡°The first p, I want to tell you that I gave up everything for you and nearly died abroad because I was blind! The second p is to ask you, when you slept with Kate, she was wearing my pajamas, don¡¯t you think you are disgusting?¡± Ivan was suddenly stunned. His face changed rapidly, as if he had taken a long time to digest the matter. When he finally organized thenguage, he said, ¡°Emma, you already know?¡± Emma sneered from the bottom of her heart, ¡°If I don''t mention it, how long are you going to hide it from me?¡± ¡°I''m sorry...¡± Ivan dropped his head suddenly. Emma was emotionally, but she was suppressing her angry. Ivan''s apology was insignificant to her. He said, ¡°Emma, I was going to tell you when youe from studying abroad...I know it''s my fault, it''s my fault, it has nothing to do with Kate. Now I can set my foot in L City, it was because Kate''s father...¡± Emma smiled with a pale face, nodded with disdain. There were snowkes falling overhead. ¡°Emma, please do not tell others, after all, my status in L City......¡± Ivan raised his head to see Emma in the mid off his sentence. Emma said with a pale face, ¡°After all, I am no longer worthy of your present status, am I right?¡± Ivan frowned and his expression became serious. Emma''s smile froze, ¡°Sorry, I am not that nice. You bit me like a dog and does not allow me to say I am in pain? Do you think I can be easily bullied?¡± With that, Emma carried her suitcase and headed out of the airport without looking back. ... Out from the airport, Emma was confused about direction. The suitcase in her hand still had the sign of the airport, and she had not been back to the city for three years. The phone in her bag kept vibrating and the caller showed Kate''s name. Emma impatiently refused to answer and then a message came. ¡¾Emma, why didn''t you answer my phone? I''m worried about you.¡¿ Looking at such concern, Emma sneered. What she worried about was probably not her, but that she was now with Ivan! A thinyer of snowy on the ground. The suitcase''s pulley ran across the road, leaving two shallow ruts. Emma was still angry. When she turned around, she found she had been far away from the airport. On a quiet snowy day, under the streetmps, not a single car passed by. Emma''s brain was in a mess, and she was so furious. Suddenly a strong light shot from the front. She had no time to dodge, but simply stood in the middle of the road. The brake sound resounded through the whole street was particrly scary in the middle of the night. Emma''s knee was pressed against the front case of a ck car. Even though the brake was stepped in time, she took two steps back and fell to the ground. There was no pain in her knee, but Emma couldn''t see the man''s expression in the driver''s seat because of the headlights. She was not a pushover. She just got up from the ground, patted the snow on her bottom, and squinted at the man in the car. Soon, she made a bold decision. Carrying her light-yellow cartoon suitcase, she went straight around the front of the car and got in. She sat in the car without politeness and closed the door with a loud bang. The man looked back, frowning. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Emma did not raise her head and sad, ¡°ckmail, I''m a professional! You either pay money, or send me to the city. I am not going to ckmail you, just send me to a ce where I can take taxi!¡± As the man was to say something, the mobile phone suddenly rang. Stretching a long finger, the man clicked on speakerphone. ¡°Sean, have you arrived?¡± A gentle graceful woman voice came from his mobile phone. Sean Knight rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice, ¡°Soon, I will be there in half an hour.¡± The woman''s voice was pleasing to hear, ¡°Ok, the road in snowy day is slippery, be careful.¡± Sean said yes and then started the car and hung up the phone. The man''s voice wasposed with a chill.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Emma raised her head and saw half of his nape. Chapter 2 Be Locked Chapter 2 Be Locked The man''s iron gray shirt cor was tidy and it was a ck overcoat outside. His hair was neatly trimmed behind his ears, and his shoulders were wide. All she could see in the rearview mirror was the man''s deep eyebrows and eyes. Emma had to admit that such a pair of eyes was really very good-looking. And he was even more good-looking than Ivan. But back in Britain, Ivan was known as the most handsome student... Thinking of Ivan, Emma''s eyes got ayer of fog. Being three years abroad together, the scene urred to her mind. Ivan, who had been so careful to hug and kiss her, now turned out to be like this. Emma nced out of the window. Thempposts were moving backwards, fast, like her memories. For a moment, she even regretted it. If she had followed Ivan back home a year ago, would this have happened? She had just pretended to be tough, now, suddenly she quieted down. Emma got emotional. Although her eyes was wide open, she felt sour in heart...... Sean withdrew his view from the rearview mirror. He bowed his head and turned on the lighter. In a twinkling of an eye, there was already a cigarette between his fingers on the steering wheel. ... Emma leaned on the back seat and had a short dream. She didn''t wake up until she felt cold all over. When she was fully awake, she realized that the car had stopped by the side of the road. The driver had long since disappeared. Emma rubbed her eyes and looked out of the car. Though she was not familiar with the ce, she could see by the scattered lights that she was in the center of the city. With a yawn, Emma stretched out her hand to push the door. But it didn''t open. By trying few times, the door still did not open. Emma was anxious. She was locked in the car by the man... Emma forcefully patted the window a few times, but it was of no avail. At one o''clock in the morning, the snow was so heavy that there was hardly a passer-by to be seen. Emma got frustrated. After being impulsive, she felt it terrible. She got into a strange man''s car, in case it was a bad guy... At the thought of this, Emma shuddered. In a hurry, she took out her mobile phone from her bag, only to find that the battery was less than 1% and it was turning off automatically. Emma was more and more afraid, recalling those deep eyes of the man in the rearview mirror. At this moment, she felt it ferocious. Why did he take her if he had something urgent to do?! Since he was getting off, why didn''t he wake her up but locked her in the car?! Emma''s cold sweat was already running down. She shook the phone hard and tried to restart it. At the moment the screen lit up, Emma wanted to cry. She first thought of Ivan, but in the middle of the dial, she stopped. Soon, she thought of Joey... Joey was her friend and they grew up in a big yard. Judging by the name alone, people would think it was a girl. But on the contrary, he was a big boy, six feet tall. In his own words: The first handsome guy in the universe... The call was soon put through. Before Emma could say a word, Joey was scolding. ¡°Emma, did you damage your brain? Can''t find your way home after years abroad? It is snowing and I had been fucking waiting for you for two hours My mouth is fucking freezing!¡± Emma had no time to listen to him, so she said directly, ¡°Joey, listen to me, my mobile phone will die soon...I don''t know where I am, I think I''ve been kidnapped...¡± In the middle of her sentence, the phone screen became dark...... A slight vibration indicated that the phone had automatically turned off. Emma was anxious and got cold sweat, again and again she tried to restart the phone. But the phone no longer had response. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Emma was deted. She threw the mobile phone to one side, holding her forehead. She did not know what Joey had heard. ... Fortunately, though, in less than half an hour, Joey was in her sights. Joey in a red down jacket was unusually conspicuous. The hair kept its strands even after two hours in the north wind. Joey came more than alone, followed by two policemen. When Joey''s eyes turned to the ck Bentley, Emma banged on the window, afraid he wouldn''t notice her. Joey ran over with long legs, bent down, with his back hooked, looking down at Emma in the car with a look of embarrassment on her face. He scolded with a smile, ¡°Son of bitch, I was scared out of shit. I thought you were raped and got murdered. So you just got locked in the car, and you called it kidnapping?!¡± Emma said, ¡°Try to get me out. I''m smothered to death...¡± ¡°......¡± The situation was like what Emma said, so Joey turned to the two police behind. He straightened waist and said to the police, ¡°Officers, my friend is locked in the car, can you check the contact way of the car owner and get him to open the door? Or she will die!¡± The police agreed with Joey. After all, that living people had been suffocated to death in cars happened. But the problem was that the imported Bentley was actually a new car with no license. How do they get the owner''s contact information? The police felt it difficult to deal with. He shouted loudly at Emma in the car, ¡°Miss, do you know the owner? Do you have his number?¡± Emma was stunned. She did not have a stranger¡¯s number. If she stayed longer in the sealed car, she might indeed be suffocated. Emma shook his head, the police did not know what to do and he said to Joey, ¡°It is difficult to deal with it. This car is a new car, maybe it doesn¡¯t even have insurance. If we emphatically break the ss and it isn¡¯t kidnapping case, who will be responsible for the loss?¡± Joey''s eyes almost turned red. He shouted at the policeman behind him, ¡°She is about to die, and you are still talking to me about losses?!¡± The police look awkward, but they really did not dare to smash a brand-new Bentley. ¡°Fine, if you don''t smash it, I will smash it, but you at least witness that I don''t deliberately damage the car, I am just trying to save a person!¡± The two policemen nodded and neither of them stopped him. Chapter 3 What Are You Doing Chapter 3 What Are You Doing Emma did feel her chest suffocated. Looking at the police outside the car talking with Joey, she could hear clearly what they were saying. In less than two minutes, Joey found an iron rod more than half a meter long from nowhere. Before Emma had a reaction, there was a loud bang. Joey got numb in hands. As the iron bar fell to the ground, the ss only got a crack, and it was still intact. Emma retreated, gesturing toward Joey, ¡°Hit here, hit here......¡± Joey blew into his hands. After the pain and numbness dissipated a little, he picked up the iron bar from the ground. Over the next few minutes, the windows were finally smashed and the debris was everywhere. As fresh air filled in, Joey breathed a sigh of relief. Not far away, a man about 30 years old was walking over, and Joey suddenly became dumbstruck. Sean, a tall man, stood against the wind and stared coldly at the iron bar in Joey''s hand. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± ... Sean received a phone call that saying his mother fainted, so he drove his car in a hurry to get back. Before getting off the car, he called Emma a few times, but she slept soundly. Without much time to lose, Sean got out of the car and locked the door. After making sure his mother was all right, he remembered that she was still in his car. But, when he remembered, it had been an hourter. When Sean came, what he saw was this scene... During the two hours in the police station, Emma had a hard time. She exined it clearly to the police, but the police didn''t seem to buy it at all. Joey''s hair had been one-sided. He looked tired, leaning against the wall. Emma was deted, sitting on his trunk, looking at Sean. Sean was still calm sitting there with his legs crossing. He did not move and his ck coat was taken over by the police politely. There were policemen standing beside him smiling, bending over respectfully and talking to him. ¡°I''m so sorry, Mr. Knight. They don''t know your identity, and the two of my men are eager to do work well, and they got cheated by that girl and linked you to a kidnap case. Sheriff Chan will be here soon...¡± Sean, who had not moved for a long time, raised his head, but said nothing. He happened to see Emma sitting on the suitcase. Emma, 20, was undoubtedly stunning in appearance. Even though she did not wear makeup, she looked still beautiful. A grey English style mink overcoat was sitting on her hips. She held her head high. She pressed her lips tightly and looked at Sean with her beautiful eyes, but looked provocative. Sean''s corners of the mouth curled and he calmly took back his sight. Outside the door, the car of Sheriff Chan had arrived. There was a sound of quick, jumbled footsteps. As the gate was pushed open from the outside, a portly man in his 50s, dressed in a police uniform, became visible. Sheriff Chan strode towards Sean with a smile and shook hands with him. Sean did not get up from his seat and shook hands with Sheriff Chan in a perfunctory manner. Sheriff Chan was still polite. After greeting, he asked, ¡°How is your Dad doing?¡± Sean nodded his head and looked impatient. Sheriff Chan wanted to ask Sean to sit in the office, he was directly refused. Looking at the watch on his wrist, Sean said, ¡°Is there anything else I need to cooperate with? If not, my driver is on his way.¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Sheriff Chan answered with a smile. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g While speaking, Sean''s mobile phone rang. He nced down and then picked up the phone and said, ¡°Yes, Chongshan Road Police Station...How long will it take?¡± Sean inadvertently looked to Emma when he was speaking. However, Emma reached out her left hand and pointed her middle finger at him. Sean was stunned and forgot that he was still on the phone with the driver... ... In less than five minutes, Sean had put on his overcoat and was escorted out of the police station. Emma craned her neck and peered through the clear ss door of the police station. Sean had got into a ck Rolls-Royce, and Sheriff Chan was still bowing and waved at him. Emma turned around and asked Joey, ¡°Who is this person?¡± ¡°You ask me?!¡± Joey was angry. ¡°......¡± After seeing off Sean, a familiar figure came to the police station. When Emma saw him, she quickly turned her head and got a dark face. Simon Powell was dressed in a gray woolen coat with snow on his head. After ncing at the two men in the corner, he turned and went in with the policeman. Joey used his elbow to touch Emma and asked in a low voice, ¡°Why is your father here?¡± Emma wore a dark face and said angrily, ¡°Who the hell knows?¡± ... About 10 minutester, Simon came out from the inside. He went to the front of Emma and Joey and mercilessly stared at them and said, ¡°What are you doing here, go!¡± Joey smiled shyly and called out, ¡°Mr. Powell...¡± Simon did not respond but walked in front alone. Emma put on the coat, carrying the suitcase to follow slowly. Father and daughter, who had not seen each other for years, met in this way. ... Outside the police station, Simon stood in front of the car, akimbo, was angry. Staring at the dejected Emma, he said angrily, ¡°You are getting bolder and bolder now, you dare to hit anyone¡¯s car now?!¡± If it were others, Emma might have exined. But to Simon, she did not bother to exin and even did not look to him. For many years, they did not get along well and Joey had been used to it, so he said with a smile, ¡°Mr. Powell, don''t get angry, Emma did not mean to...¡± ¡°Shut up, you''re no better than she is!¡± Joey blinked his eyes, and then swallowed the words on his lips and could only standmely by. Simon pointed at them and said angrily, ¡°Apart from getting into trouble, what else could you do? You are in the same age, Kate...¡± ¡°Have you done? I''m going back to bed!¡± Hearing the name of Kate, Emma directly interrupted him. Chapter 4 She is Your Stepmother Chapter 4 She is Your Stepmother Simon was stunned for a while, and then opened the trunk of the ck Mercedes and was to take Emma''s suitcase. Emma pulled the suitcase back and turned to Joey, ¡°Hasn¡¯t you mother had gotten a room ready for me? I will sleep at your house tonight...¡± ¡°You are already 20 years old, do you know self-love as a girl?¡± Simon shouted behind her. Emma slowly turned around, stared at Simon and said coldly, ¡°Do you still remember that I am already 20 years old? If I remember correctly, Jessie Macey messed with you since she was less than 20 years old. Did you ever remind her of self-love?¡± ¡°You!¡± Simon was angry, shivering all over. ¡°She''s your stepmother!¡± Simon reminded her. Emma was toozy to answer him. She pulled the lever of her suitcase and walked toward the taxi parked on the roadside not far away. Before leaving, she turned around and said to Simon, ¡°Since you know that she and I can¡¯t get along with each other, we should not waste our energy pretending to be a dutiful daughter and a loving father. These days I am going to stay with my grandfather, and I don¡¯t want see Jessie Macey''s foul face!¡± ¡°......¡± Emmay in the guest room of Joey''s house and slept until 3 PM. Joey''s mother Nadia was a gentle and virtuous woman, always with a smile. She speciallymanded the kitchen to do Emma''s favorite durian crisp before she went upstairs to wake Emma up. Emma sat in the bed, absentminded. Nadia stood outside the door and said softly, ¡°Emma, Kate called just now. I told her you were still asleep. Would you like to get up and call her back?¡± Hearing the name of Kate, Emma irritably scratched her hair. Even though she was irritable, she said, ¡°I know, Nadia.¡± Listening to the footsteps of Nadia downstairs, Emma climbed up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash. ... At the table, Joey clutching his mouth and nose took a look at the durian crisp with disgust. Emma pulled open the chair and sat opposite. Only Emma and Joey sat at the table. With a yawn, Emma took the fully charged phone over. There are 13 missed calls. Two of them were from her grandfather, and the other 11 were from Kate. Joey took a shredded kelp to his bowl, squinted at Emma and asked, ¡°Ivan called?¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Hearing that, Emma''s face darkened. She shook her head and said, ¡°We broke up, you know...¡± Joey pped the chopsticks on the table and looked angry. ¡°Son of bitch! In Britain, if it hadn''t been for you, he might not even finish school now! Now he dumped you and approached Kate? You almost lost your life for him, were you silly or not?!¡± Emma looked at Joey with a gloomy face and say, ¡°What can I do? Hold his thighs and beg him to come back to me?¡± Emma asked and Joey was speechless. He knew that Emma would never do that. That was not her character. Nadia took the chicken soup out of the kitchen and brought it to Emma. ¡°Emma,¡± she said with a smile, ¡°I haven''t seen you for three years. How did you lose so much weight? In my memory, you are still that chubby little girl. You had been alone abroad these year, you must have suffered a lot.¡± Emmaughed and acted coquettishly, ¡°Nadia, I have lost weight.¡± Nadia gave a smile. Joey stood up, stared at Emma and said, ¡°You lied!¡± As Emma red at him, Joey turned and walked toward the bathroom, in slippers. For their behavior, Nadia had already been used to it. She then thought of something. Looking at Emma, who was stuffing the durian crisp into her mouth, she asked, ¡°By the way, why didn''t Katee? Haven''t you three always been together?¡± ... That was exactly like what Nadia said. Once Emma, Joey, Kate was like a triangle being together. Emma and Joey had been ying together almost since they were babies. Kate came when Emma was 14. It was not idental to know Kate. Strictly speaking, Emma called her ¡°Aunt¡±. When Emma was 13 years old, her mother Emily Brown had a car ident and died before she could be taken to hospital. At the age of 14, her father married a 20-year-old woman who cause no peace to the family. The 20-year-old girl was Kate¡¯s sister, Jessie. In the face of a stepmother only six years older than her, Emma naturally did not have a good impression. After a fight with Jessie, her father took Jessie out of the old house. And Kate was in the middle of reconciliation. Kate''s temperament had been recognized by the elders, especially Emma''s grandfather. Even Emma gradually put down her prejudice seeing that she was gentle. But then... Taking back her thoughts, Emma looked at Nadia and said with a smile, ¡°Maybe she''s busy...¡± Nadia did not ask much but urged Emma to drink chicken soup, and then she got up elegantly and walked toward the kitchen...... ... Emmay on the sofa, biting an apple, constantly changing the TV channels. As the music was ying loudly, Joey sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of the sofa, shouting, ¡°Fuck him! Push the tower!¡± He was ying the game. Emma''s phone rang. She reached out her hand to grab the mobile phone. Seeing the calling number, she sat up from the sofa. Joey looked up and asked, ¡°What''s wrong? You look as if you had seen a ghost.¡± Emma gave a pale face and whispered, ¡°My grandfather......¡± When it came to Grandfather of Emma, let alone Emma, even Joey was afraid. He was a senior officer in the army and beat them a lot when they were young. Both Emma and Joey got beat by his belt, which was ruthless. Holding the notebook, Joey went back to his bedroom. He was in the game and did not want to turn off the exciting background music. Emma sat up straight and took a deep breath before pressing the answer. ¡°Hello, Grandpa ~¡± Emma tried her best to make her voice sound good. Chapter 5 Little Jerk Chapter 5 Little Jerk But the senior officer growled on the phone, ¡°You little jerk! You won''t even go home first. Where are you?¡± Emma held the mobile phone in her hands and felt tingled by the senior officer''s deep voice. She said in a coquet voice, ¡°Grandpa, I didn''te back to L City until midnight yesterday, so I was afraid that I would disturb your rest. Last night, Joey picked me up at the airport and I went to sleep at his home... ¡°You make it up!¡± The senior officer said angrily. Emma instantly lost her confidence, bit her lips and listen with a sad face. Officer Brown continued to roar in the telephone, ¡°What did you and Joey dost night?!¡± ¡°No...nothing.¡± Emma was still quibbling. Officer Brown¡¯s next sentence thoroughly made Emma give up struggling. Officer Brown roared in the telephone, ¡°If you didn¡¯t do anything, why your father called me and asked to keep an eye on you?!¡± ¡°......¡± Few people knew that Emma had such a tough grandfather. Except for Joey and Kate, who grew up together with her in the same yard, she had never told anyone. The Powell engaged in business and was a wealthy family. Even so, for years she was abroad, Emma rarely used the money Simon transferred to her card. Like other students, she ate the most basic food and shared a rented house far from the university. Therefore one day she could throw that bank card in Simon¡¯s face to vent her anger. When she first arrived in Britain, Emma and three other overseas students shared a house from a British couple. Among the three overseas students, Ivan was one of them... -- -- -- In one of Officer Brown''s bedrooms, a husky dog named Nunu was licking Emma''s foot sticking out of the bed with its tongue. ¡°Go away...Nunu!¡± Emma kicked it a few times in a daze and she finally sat up from the bed and pulled Nunu up to the bed. The cry of Nunu came from the second floor to the first floor. Until Nanny Maggie rushed in, Nunu was saved. After ¡®conquering¡¯ Nunu, Emma was not sleepy anymore. She got up, washed and changed her clothes. Today she made an appointment with Joey to eat abnormal food... ... In the living room on the first floor, there were visitor. When Emma went downstairs in her slippers, she saw Maggie refilling some tea for the visitor. Maggie was in the front, so Emma could not see who the visitor was. But the figure seemed familiar... As Emma was recalling where she had seen it, suddenly she stepped on nothing and directly sat in the center of the stairs. The man in the living room, disturbed by the noise on the stairs, looked up. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Just by a nce, Emma was almost scared out of urine. There was nothing more terrifying than the sudden appearance of Sean. Emma climbed up the stairs as fast as she could, holding on to the handrail, and quickly turned and ran to the second floor. She said silently, ¡°Damn it! Isn''t it just a car window? Why he is here?¡± Sean saw that she was in panic. Before she got into the bedroom, Emma saw Officer Brown talked with Maggie, but she heard nothing and directly closed the door. Her heart was beating violently and she was so worried. From her grandfather''s performancest night, Simon should have not told him that she and Joey hit his car. Otherwise, her grandfather would not be so easily coaxed by her. But today he came. Was he to ask forpensation? So, her grandfather knew it? Emma felt it was the truth and instantly she became restless. Joey called and asked Emma why she had not arrived? Emma told him that Sean was in her home. Joey, on the other end of the line, pondered for a moment and then said, ¡°Is he really there for compensation?¡± In the end, Joey gave an advice. ¡°Why don''t you jump down from the window and sneak out, and then go back when your grandfather''s anger has dissipated...¡± ¡°......¡± She had known Joey for 20 years, Emma felt this was the most pertinent advice he had ever given... ... Maggie knocked at the door. Emma said, ¡°Wait a minute, I''m changing clothes, I will be good soon.¡± As she pushed open the window, she put her leg out first. Officer Brown¡¯s vi design was very safe. Under the window of Emma¡¯s room, there was a buffer stage. On the buffer stage was the flower Officer Brown raised personally. She slung the bag on her body and the fell to the ground. After jumping down from the second floor, Emma took long sigh of relief. But when she looked back, she knew it was in vain. For not far away on the small golf course, a man and a dog turned around and looked to her at the same time... ... The temperature was lower in winter in L City. The grass on the small golf course was mostly covered with snow. Officer Brown was old and such an excise had long been unsuitable for him. He came out to talk with Sean and wanted to breathe fresh air. But, after a few words, he was called in by the housekeeper to answer the phone. Sean stood alone in the snow, smoking a cigarette with his head down. Nunu jumped out of nowhere and squatted in front of him, looking at him with its heavy head. Sean looked down at Nunu for a long time, then reached out his hand and rubbed the top of its head. Nunu was happy, wagged its tail, stretched out its tongue to please Sean. Also at this time, Emma jumped down from the second floor...... Sean turned his head. Nunu had been running toward Emma. As Emma stood still, she fell down on the ground by Nunu¡¯s fat body. In the snow, such a scene amused Sean. Emma had never thought that a cold man could be so good-looking when he smiled. ¡°Nunu, get down......¡± With Nunu riding on her body, Emma was angry. She pushed and shoved it. Finally she pushed Nunu away, and she got blushed on face. After all, it was quite humiliating to be seen by outsiders like this. When she looked up, Sean had already stopped smiling and returned to his former coldness. But his eyes still fell on her, and he made no attempt to move away. Emma pped her bottom, got up from the snow and looked up at Sean not far away. ¡°It is just the window ss of a Bentley, and you even came to my grandfather''s?¡± Chapter 6 Bite Him Chapter 6 Bite Him Sean was slightly shocked. A momentter, Sean said, ¡°Are you Emma Powell?¡± ¡°......¡± Emma did not answer. Bowing her head, she said to Nunu, ¡°Nunu, bite him!¡± Obviously, she overestimated the obedience of Nunu to her. Because, the vigorous husky, with safe small steps, walked to Sean and directly sat at his feet. It was like: he and I are together... -- -- -- -- -- As Emma was getting angry with the stupid dog, Officer Brown pushed the door and walked out. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g When he saw Emma, he couldn''t help but ask with doubt, ¡°Maggie said you were changing clothes in the room. How could you be here?¡± Hearing that, Emma guiltily took a look at Sean. She was afraid Sean would betray her now. Sean lived up to her expectations and said to the senior officer, ¡°Miss Powell is teaching her husky how to rush and bite strangers...¡± When Sean said this, there was no usation on his face at all, but banter. ¡°Nonsense!¡± Officer Brown roared to Emma coldly. Emma mercilessly stared at Sean. If it weren''t for her grandfather, she really wanted to say dirty words. Officer Brown continued, ¡°Emma, Sean is a stranger, on the generation, you should call him uncle......¡± Emma''s expression looked like she had swallowed a fly. Uncle! He?! Officer Brown didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to her and casually waved at her, ¡°Go in, Kate is waiting for you in the living room......¡± ¡°......¡± Before Emma left, she gritted teeth to Nunu. When she bypassed it, she kicked it incidentally. Before she entered the room, she heard her grandfather''s voice behind her. ¡°Sean, how is your grandpa doing?¡± ... As she pushed open the door, she saw Kate sitting in the sitting room at a nce. Kate had changed little from three years ago. From the appearance alone, she was not good as Emma. But she had good skin. She was not beautiful. Seeing that Emma walked in, Kate got up from the sofa and looked back towards her. ¡°Emma...¡± It was still the usual name, but Emma felt different. Emma did not answer but directly went upstairs. Maggie did not know what happened. Seeing that Kate was embarrassed, she said, ¡°Miss Booth, what do you want to drink? Coffee or juice?¡± Kate answered gently, ¡°Thank you, Maggie, I''m not thirsty......¡± ... Emma mmed closed the door of the room angrily. She was so annoyed by Kate. Sean came, as well as Kate. She angrily took off her dirty coat and then received Joey''s phone. ¡°Comrade-in-arms have you managed to escape?¡± Joey asked passionately in the telephone. Emma pulled a thick windcoat out of the wardrobe, measured it in front of the mirror, and said to the phone, ¡°No, but I was blocked at home by Kate. I will be there in 15 minutes. Please wait for me for a while.¡± After hanging up Joey''s phone, Emma put on a coat and changed a handbag before she went downstairs. ... In the living room on the ground floor, Emma bypassed from the sofa and ignored Kate directly. Looking at Emma had put on boots at the door, Kate finally stood up from the sofa. Before she opened her mouth, there was a loud sound of a door and Emma had gone out. ... At the door of the vi, Kate caught up with her. ¡°Emma, wait for me......¡± Emma turned her head and looked at her coldly. ¡°Sorry, Emma...¡± At the moment, Kate looked more pathetic than Emma. It seemed that her boyfriend got robbed, not Emma. Emma coldly stared at her and said, ¡°I have an appointment, what do you want to say? Don''t waste my time.¡± Kate''s face turned pale and he grabbed Emma''s wrist. Her tone was still weak, and her eyes were misty. She said, ¡°Emma, it''s my fault, I hope you can forgive me and Ivan, I''m really sorry.¡± Emma could not suppress her anger any longer. Emma shook off Kate''s hand and said to her coldly, ¡°Why should I forgive you?!¡± Kate''s body seemed to bear too much, in the cold wind she had begun to shake. She brushed away the broken hair in front of her forehead and stuffed it behind her ears. Kate lowered her head very low. She said, ¡°Emma, I know you''re unhappy, but...I love Ivan more than you do. Even though he knew you ahead of me, but I really can''t live without him.¡± Emma was angry, stared at Kate''s eyes with hatred and said, ¡°Kate, you only know you like Ivan, but you never know I paid a lot for him! You''ll never know! You said you love him, but you don''t do a tenth of what I''ve done for him!¡± ¡°Emma...¡± Kate trembled more violently. Emma sneered, ¡°But now that he''s yours, there''s no point in saying that! If you want my forgiveness, give up!¡± Kate grabbed Emma''s hand again and her eyes got red. ¡°Emma, I know this is all my bad, but I still want to say. I know that you came back because of Ivan......But I beg you, now that you''ve given up, go back to Britain, ok? Don''t ever appear in front of Ivan again. I really...¡± Kate could not continue. Emma thought this was the biggest joke in the world. Behind her, a ck Audi A8 approached, and she did not know it. ¡°Where I appear is my own business, Kate. Don¡¯t you think you should leave me alone?!¡± Emma was angry and wanted to take her wrist out from the hand of Kate. However, Kate clenched her tightly, and she failed to take it back. Emma simply pushed her away. Kate staggered, stepped back a few steps and directly fell in the snow. Kate sat half lying in the snow, with tears falling down. Sobbing in the wind made her look particrly pitiful. Not far away, she heard a car door closing behind her. Emma turned around... Ivan was running this way with great strides. Even though there was hate in her heart, when she saw Ivan¡¯s familiar face again, Emma''s eyes got tears. Ivan bypassed her and ran directly to Kate who fell to the ground. Chapter 7 Green Tea Chapter 7 Green Tea Emma turned aside and forced her tears back to the eyes. Ivan helped Kate stand up. Kate showed surprise on her pale face. Ivan''s brow wrinkled deeply. Before he turned around, he was pulled by Kate. Kate was in tears, making him distressed. She yanked Ivan''s wrist and tenderly said, ¡°Ivan, I am fine, don''t me Emma......¡± Hearing that, Emma sneered. Ivan frowned more deeply. He turned to see Emma with loathing. He broke his wrist free from Kate, put his hands on her shoulders and looked her up and down. Then he asked her, ¡°Is there any injury?¡± Kate bit her lower lip and shook her head, ¡°I''m OK. Emma didn''t do it on purpose.¡± Ivan nodded and turned to Emma. Until this moment, Emma did not feel that Ivan had really changed. The way he looked at her was no longer serious, no longer doting, no longer indulgent. She suddenly became an evil woman, and he was ready to scold her for the woman he loved. Emma was hurtful, but she still raised her chin high and showed no weakness. ¡°Emma, you were not like this before...¡± Upon hearing Ivan''s words, Emma smiled ironically, ¡°Are you still the person you used to be?¡± Emma''s rhetorical question made Ivan looked away. Ivan lowered his head, fumbled for his cigarette case from his trouser pocket and lit a cigarette. Kate behind him stood there, fixing her eyes on them with a paler face. ¡°Emma, whatever I did before, it was all my fault... I told you it has nothing to do with Kate. I you are angry, just vent you anger to me. Don''t bully her again.¡± Ivan¡¯s deep voice was still pleasing to hear, but it was so strange that Emma felt incredible. ¡°I bullied her?!¡± Emma felt wronged. Her boyfriend was robbed, and not it became her fault! Ivan took a hard puff of the cigarette and then flicked it off. It fell to the snow, with a slight noise, the cigarette end put out. It was like Emma''s mood at the moment. The residual heat became cold. Ivan turned to Kate and gently held her in his arms. ¡°Kate, let''s go,¡± he said. ¡°Ivan!¡± Standing behind, Emma finally could not help but stopped him. Ivan and Kate turned around at the same time, his arm was still on Kate''s shoulder. ... Emma''s line of sight became blurred and she could not see clearly their expressions. ¡°If a year ago, I chose to go back with you, would you be with her?¡± Emma clenched her teeth and asked. Ivan was silent for a moment, but his line of sight was on Kate''s face. They affectionately looked at each other and he said finally. He said, ¡°Emma, if the feelings for you before is called I like you, then now, my feeling for Kate is undoubtedly love, I love her...¡± In the cold wind, Emma seemed to be poured from head to foot with the ice dregs, and even her bones became cold. Emma finally turned around and her tears were about to fall. Even if she lost, she still did not want her weakness to be seen. As she turned around, she found that Sean standing not far away...... Regardless of that the two were still watching, Emma reached out to wipe her tears with her chin raised. She did not notice when Sean was standing behind her, let alone how long he had been there. Sean in a ck coat strode towards her. Emma thought he would bypass indifferently and considered it a joke. But unexpectedly, Sean stopped beside her. Sean was as tall as Joey, and when he looked down at Emma, unconsciously she thought of a recent popr phrase ¡°the cutest height difference¡±. In front of Sean, Emma was really like a child. Even if she pretended to be tough, her ¡°acting¡± was still immature. There was white fog when Sean breathed, rushing to Emma''s face. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Emma raised her head and met his eyes. ¡°Why are you still standing here? Are you not cold? Let''s go...¡± Sean showed concern, which surprised Emma. But before she could react, her arm had been clutched in the hands of Sean. Emma open her eyes wide, staring at Sean in front of her, dumbfounded. Emma was pulled by Sean and got into a Rolls Royce phantom parked in the roadside, muddleheaded. ck phantom was not slow because of slippery road, but rushed out instantly in a high speed. Ivan stared at the direction of the phantom to leave, feeling incredible with a frown. Seeing Ivan''s expression, Kate¡¯s face changed. ¡°Ivan...¡± Kate called him softly and pulled back his thoughts. Ivan turned around to look at her. Kate reached out her hand and gently brushed the scattered snowkes off his shoulders. ¡°Why did youe here?¡± she asked. ¡°I came to meet a client who happens to be in the neighborhood...¡± Ivan''s face did not look good, and he answered casually. At this time, he wondered how Emma got together with Sean?! Ivan took one look at the vis of the Brown family, and then asked, ¡°Why are you and Emma here?¡± Kate was panic and hurriedly looked away. She pretended to be calm and said, ¡°We just happened to pass by here...¡± ¡°......¡± Ivan said nothing, let go his hand on her shoulder and walked alone in front. ¡°Let''s go...¡± He said without looking back. Kate took a look at her shoulder, and then turned around and followed Ivan... ... In the ck phantom, Emma sat in the back row of the seat, with a tight face, had been looking outside the window. Every time Sean saw her from the rearview mirror, she secretly peeped at him through the corner of her eyes. Sean shook his head and curved the corners of his mouth. Chapter 8 Never Seen Being Dumped? Chapter 8 Never Seen Being Dumped? ¡°Why are you smiling? Haven''t seen someone got dumped?!¡± Emma said sharply, as she turned her head. Sean was stunned and felt this girl got hot temper. Emma ruthlessly stared at him and took back her vision. After a while, Sean said in a calm tone, ¡°I thought you would at least say thank you to me...¡± Emma was embarrassed. Indeed, if Sean hadn''te to her rescue just now, she might still be standing there watching others show their love and she could only beughed at. Emma hang her head, felt wronged and wanted to cry. Sean looked at her and said tly, ¡°In fact, you are only 20 years old. You don''t have to control all your emotions. Why don''t you give vent to them while you are young?¡± Emma raised her head and looked at him with some iprehension. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. After a moment, the expression on Emma''s face changed. She did not look good anymore but became sharp. She squinted at Sean and said without confidence, ¡°None of your business.¡± Sean could not help but feel funny. This girl was always in guard. She was like provoked a little wild cat, which would show its ws to frighten people. But in his eyes, she was nothing more than a little soft cat... Sean sighed, still watching the rich expression changes on her face in the rearview mirror. ¡°You smashed my car, your grandfather doesn¡¯t know it, right?¡± Sean asked with a smile. Emma was like the cat that was trampled on the tail, she stretched out her hand and was to open the door. However, Sean was one step ahead of her, using the central control to lock the car. Emma failed to open the door, patted on the window with force and then turn her head. She said angrily, ¡°You locked me again!¡± Sean''s expression was much calmer. Poring to the front, he said, ¡°Do you think you can walk on the viaduct?¡± Emma stopped talking and sulked. ... Ten minutester, Sean''s car came off the viaduct and pulled to the side of the road. He unlocked the car and looked back toward Emma. But Emma didn''t want to get off at this moment... Seeing that Emma did not move, Sean did not restart the car, but lowered his head with a cigarette and lit it with a lighter. ... In the quiet space, Emma had a quick thought. She did not understand why Sean had just mentioned about her grandfather! Was it a threat to her? Or did he want her topensate him the money as soon as possible? But whatever it was, she couldn''t let her grandfather know. Taking a deep breath, Emma finally made a decision. Her insolence hadpletely disappeared, and suddenly she looked pathetic again. She sped her hands and begged for mercy, bowing and begging. She said to Sean, ¡°Uncle Sean, I know I was wrong. I beg you, don''t tell my grandfather about that, OK? Just give me a few days, and I''ll send the money to you as soon as I can raise the money...¡± At this, she took a furtive look at Sean. Seeing that Sean''s expression did not change, she was relieved and continued to pretend to be pitiful, ¡°You know, my grandfather is old and his heart is not good. If he knows it, he may be angry at once, and then you...¡± Sean was speechless. That was not a plea. It was a disguised threat. It meant: Don''t me me for not warning you, but if my grandfather knows about it, he will be mad and may get sick, and you''d be the murderer! Seeing through Emma''s trick, Sean did not bother to expose her and continued to watch her y. Emma still said sadly, ¡°I''m serious, believe me... Or, or you leave a mobile phone number to me, and when I raise the money, I will immediately contact you.¡± In order to show her sincerity, Emma took out her mobile phone. At first, Sean wanted to say forget it, it was just a car window and she had no need topensate it. But when he looked at herrge, insincere eyes, he suddenly did not think so. Sean took out his mobile phone and said calmly looking at her, ¡°What is your number?¡± Emma was stupefied. Did he really mean it? It was just a piece of car ss, why was he so serious? She had been thinking that if she could wait a little longer, even if her grandfather knew about it, she would only get a few phone calls of scolding. As the saying goes: the mountains were high and the emperor was far away... Emmaughedmely and gave him the number. Sean saved the number and dialed it. Emma''s phone rang. Sean curved his mouth and pointed to the phone in her hand and said, ¡°This is my number.¡± Emma had to save his number gritting teeth. However, she secretly scolded him no less than dozens of times. As Emma finished saving the number, Sean had finished smoking a cigarette. After he put out his cigarette in the ashtray, he turned around and asked, ¡°Are you getting off?¡± Emma got angry. Looking at his straight back, she could not suppress her anger and said, ¡°No, please send me to Deyun Road, Penghu District, I am going to meet a friend... Sean looked at her indignant face in the rearview mirror, said nothing, and restarted the car... ... Emma and Joey met in a small restaurant by the street. It had its reason to call it abnormal food. It was a small restaurant of less than 40 square meters served only spicy crayfish and spicy shabu- shabu. The poor sanitary conditions had no words to describe, but it still lingered in this old alley for more than 10 years. When they were young, Emma and Joey came here all the time, because the crayfish here was really delicious. Especially in the summer, they were sweaty while eating. Arge ss of frosty draft beer made Emma miss it in Britain for several years. Now, the first thing she wanted to do was toe here and enjoy the food... ... Sean''s car stopped in front of the restaurant. Joey was already there. Afraid that Emma could not find the way, he deliberately stood at the door, looking around. When watching Emma walked down from a ck phantom, and seeing the man on the driver''s seat, Joey fled to the back of a streetmp pole, looking at them like a thief. But his bright red down coat was too conspicuous, let alone a streetmp pole, even ten or eight stacked together, he could be seen at a nce. Chapter 9 Why Are You Hiding Chapter 9 Why Are You Hiding Emma walked to the streetmp and said, ¡°Even if you haven''t calcted your own volume, at least calcte the width of this streetmp pole, can it block you? Why are you hiding?¡± Looking at Sean''s car slowly turned the front, Joey reluctantly walked out from behind the streetmp pole. Staring at the ck phantom, he asked, ¡°Why are you with him?¡± Emma took a long sigh, waved her hand and said, ¡°Never mind, it is a long story...¡± ¡°......¡± Without waiting for Joey to ask again, Emma had pulled his sleeve and walked toward the restaurant. ... In the small restaurant, the heater was baking very hot. The boss added specially crayfish to their and said, ¡°Winter is not the season for crayfish, so the shrimp meat is not full. You oftene, I will give you more......¡± Joey smiled happily and said thank you, and then he ordered two sses of beer. Unfortunately, there was no cold beer. The two men ate with their hands full of red oil, and when they had eaten more than half of the crayfish, they cleaned their hands and began to drink the beer slowly. Emma was not in high spirit. Joey knew Kate hade to her from the phone, so he could understand the reason for Emma''s low mood now. After a long time, Joey tentatively asked, ¡°Did Kate make it hard for you?¡± Hearing that, Emma suddenly wanted to cry. Indeed, the mood of being concerned was not the same. Ivan only cared about if Emma had bullied Kate, but Joey wondered if Emma had been bullied and did not ask other things...... ... After drinking a ss of beer, Emma was drunk. The tears fell into the ss and mixed with the brown beer. Joey was nervous. He was most afraid of girls crying in front of him. He tried to coax her, but Emma cried more and more sadly and he had no idea what to do. The boss came over and handed Joey a packet of napkins. She patted her fat hand on his shoulder and said, ¡°Let her cry for a while. She must be hurt. I found she was not in a good mood since she came in. Joey looked back at the boss, speechless, and took the napkins from her hand. The boss continued, ¡°It''s always good to cry out. Don¡¯t talk to her, or she will be sadder...¡± Joey nodded in a daze, looking at the boss turned around and left. He handed the napkins to Emma, but his arm was yanked by Emma. Joey failed to withdraw his hand, got up and walked to Emma and sat down beside her, allowing her to cry holding his arms. Tired of crying, Emma wiped her snot with his sleeve and asked, ¡°Aren''t you a neat freak? Why didn''t you avoid me?¡± Joey''s brow twisted. He wanted to avoid it, but he failed to do so. Joey said with upholding justice, ¡°I have seen you cry twice from we were kids. Once you broke the leg of a dog in the yard with your uncle''s gun and you got whipped by your Grandpa with a leash. The second time was the day your mother died, and you hid in the car by yourself...It''s only the third time...¡± Emma raised her head, looking at him with tearful eyes. Joey sighed, shook his head and continued, ¡°But honest, I look down on you for you cry like a dog for a man. Are you that Emma I know?¡± ¡°......¡± Emma was toozy to deal with him, wiped her tears. Before she stretched out to take a beer ss, she jumped up. Such a scene scared Joey. He quickly stood up and asked, ¡°What''s the matter? Do you want to jump up?¡± Emma did not want to talk to him. Pointing to her prickling eyes, she cried, ¡°Spicy, spicy, it hurts, it hurts......¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. It was not until the boss rushed out that the crisis was resolved. The boss took Emma to the kitchen and flushed her eyes with cold water, and she finally felt better. ... At the table, Joey looked at Emma who was in a mess without a word. After holding back for a long time, he squeezed out, ¡°You deserved it!¡± Emma stared at him and continued to peel the crayfish heartlessly and then ordered two sses of beer...... After several ssed of beers, they began to talk more and more. Joey told jokes, Emma giggled, shuck the crayfish and put it into his mouth, and then shuck one for herself. After that, she asked Joey. ¡°Joey, you are so handsome, why don''t you find a girlfriend? Is it possible that you have be gay the years I have been away?!¡± ¡°......¡± Joey spat out his liquor and red at her. ¡°You''re gay! I am not gay!¡± Emma smiled heartlessly and even could not swallow down the beer. ¡°Then why don''t you have a girlfriend?!¡± Emma asked. Joey put his hand on her shoulder, embraced her and said, ¡°It was not that I didn¡¯t find one...Do you understand?¡± Emma shook her ponderous head and smirked, ¡°I don''t understand...¡± Joey was also drunk. He stared at her for a long time, which made Emma confused. Soon, Joey pushed her away and said, ¡°I''ve been looking for one, but I haven''t met the right one yet...¡± Emma believed that. With Joey''s conditions, he could have any kinds of girls. Joey made a wine belch and gesticted to Emma, ¡°I''m gonna to find someone better than you, so that you can¡¯tugh at me......¡± Emma nodded forcibly, ¡°Yes, you are right!¡± With that, her eyes became blurred. The beer ss in hand became two from one, and even Joey had three heads and six arms...... In the end, Emma could not remember how much she had drunk, but Joey bent over the table and did not move. ... Emma pulled out a few hundred yuan from her bag, put them on the table and got up to walk out. Walking unsteadily, she pushed away the hand of the boss and said she was not drunk and just wanted to go out to get some fresh air. Probably the boss was afraid she vomited in the restaurant, seeing that she could walk, she did not stop Emma. Emma opened the door, walked to a streetmp by the side of the road alone and sat down. She could not feel how cold it was underneath her, but now she was worried about Joey. Arduously she fumbled out her phone, but she could not see clearly the phone screen. Chapter 10 Get Drunk Chapter 10 Get Drunk Emma shook off her head and belched, then lowered her head to look at her mobile phone again. Soon after, she dialed a number. Until the receiver came the hint sound, Emma soliloquized happily, ¡°I am not drunk, the boss doesn''t believe me......¡± The phone was picked up before she had finished speaking. Not waiting for the other side to speak, Emma said to the mobile phone, ¡°Nadia? This is Emma, well, well¡­ What was I going to say? Oh, right, Joey is drunk, please send someone to pick him up...He''s drunk, he can''t get up...¡± ¡°Emma?¡± A cold, deep male voice came through the phone. Emma was stunned and the voice sounded familiar. She nced down at the number disyed on her phone and asked herself, ¡°Isn''t this the number of Joey¡¯s home?¡± She grumbled and then she seemed to have known what happened. She then said to the phone, ¡°Kayden? Well, I had a lot to drink too,... I can''t send Joey home. This is Emma, Emma Powell. Well, my surname is Powell...¡± By the end, Emma had forgotten what she had said. She threw the phone aside and held themp pole. Now, she was sleepy... ... This was what Sean saw when he arrived at the restaurant. Emma, wearing a thick khaki blue windbreaker, was asleep against a streetmp pole. The upturned cor of the windbreaker covered half of her small face. Maybe it was too cold. She was holding her knees, and her body was curled up in a ball, and the smell of alcohol could be smelled from a distance. Sean looked down at her. After a moment, he bent down and called out, ¡°Emma...¡± Sean''s voice was low. Emma turned her body and continued to sleep. Sean gracefully squatted on the ground, and his ck coaty t on the snow. He reached out his hand and pulled down Emma''s cor, covering her face. Emma resisted and stopped him with her frozen red hands. She grumbled, ¡°Ivan, stop that now...¡± Sean''s gesture paused and slowly withdrew his hand. He stood up, looked down at her again and said, ¡°I''m going to call your grandfather and tell him to send someone to pick you up...¡± Hearing that, Emma half woke up. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g She subconsciously embraced Sean''s leg and begged dizzily, ¡°Don''t, if my grandfather knows I drink outside, he may break my leg, don''t......¡± Sean was speechless. ... In a vi on Chaoxi Road. After Sean ced Emma on the bed, he untied his tie, took out the vibrating mobile phone from his trouser pocket and answered the phone. A gentle and pleasant female voice came from the phone. She said, ¡°Sean, how long will it take for you to arrive? My parents and your parents are waiting for you...¡± Sean rubbed his forehead, looked back at Emma on the bed, and said, ¡°I''m sorry, Rachel, I have something to deal with, so I can¡¯t be there.¡± Instead of an usatory query, Rachel asked in a worried tone, ¡°What''s wrong? Is it difficult to deal with?¡± Sean did not answer. ¡°OK, don''t worry, I will exin to my parents. Take good care of yourself...¡± ¡°Ok.¡± Sean said in a light tone. As the fianc¨¦e of Sean, Rachel Hill always had good temper. She was gentle, noble and perfect. Sean, 31, has been repeatedly asked by his friends, ¡°What do you like about Rachel?¡± Sean was always silent. He couldn''t tell what he liked about Rachel, but he thought she was suitable to be his wife. Everything fell into ce until they got engaged. Emma on the bed turned over her body. In sleep, she bowed her body like arge shrimp. Sean put the quilt over her, turned and walked out. ... Sean could not let Emma who was drunk stay there alone, so he pushed off the dinner to meet parents about the wedding preparations. He was sitting alone in his study, quietly smoking one cigarette after another. It was a long time before he took the phone in his hand. After a moment''s hesitation, he dialed the number... ... The phone rang for a long time before the other end picked it up. An old and low male voice was heard, ¡°Sean, it is sote, what is the matter?¡± Yes, the person on the other end of the phone was in Australia, and it waste at night over there. After Sean took a puff of smoke, he said, ¡°Brother, Emma has returned home...¡± The male voice in the telephone was elegant. He asked softly, ¡°Which Emma?¡± ¡°Emily Brown''s daughter...¡± Sean said truthfully. The other end of the phone felt into silence...... ... When Emma sat up in bed, she was awakened by urine. Looking out of the window in a daze, she found it was dark. ¡°Joey......¡± Emma shouted to the door, but there was no response. Thinking she was sleeping in the guest room of the Thomas family, she scratched her dishevelled hair and got out of bed. Emma was familiar with the structure of each room of the Thomas family. Without even looking up, she went straight to the bathroom. After peeing, Emma felt rxed. Sitting on the toilet, she found arge massage bathtub not far away, and then she felt puzzled. When did the Thomas family have such a luxurious bathtub in the guest room? Why didn¡¯t she know that?! But Emma did not have extra energy to think about it. The liquid crystal TV before bath was on. She could not see clearly it and the voice was down. A bottle of red wine in French and a goblety on a tiling table nearby. Emma imagined that she lied in the bath with wine, watching movie, which was so enjoyable. She was confused, but she made a quick move. By the time she decided to do it, she had stripped off all of her clothes. It was a bathtub that automatically adjusted the temperature of the water and it was filled quickly with water at the touch of a button. Lying in the warm bathtub, Emma felt her world was perfect... It was a foreign film on the TV with no sound, no subtitles, and Emma could not understand. But it was a naked couple having sex. The open-minded foreigners made every move wild. Seeing that, Emma blushed and her blood got burning, but she fixed her eyes on it. Chapter 11 Encounter in the Bathroom Chapter 11 Encounter in the Bathroom She drank half a bottle of the red wine before she started to feel dizzy again. ... Climbing out of the bathtub, there came the sound of a door opening... As Emma steadied herself to the edge of the tub, the bathroom door was pushed open from outside. Usually, she would have definitely screamed and smashed whatever she could reach to hit the man. But Emma was so foolish on that day. Sean lowered his head, and he was half naked, wearing only a pair of trousers, and then he walked in. An unexpected thing happened, and even Sean was stunned. ... Sean gazed at her, and for a moment he forgot to look away. Perhaps it was because she loved British style of dressing, featuring neutral and casual characters, which was covering up her good figure. Her fair skin turned light pink since she was drunk. Her slender and perfect legs were exposed to a man, but at that moment she was dull without covering up. Emma also stared nkly at the strong and muscr man. All she had in her mind was the sex scenes she saw in the movie just now. In fact, his figure was as good as actors in the movie. Emma gazed at the right side of his chest, where a clear scar about 7 to 8 cm long. She unconsciously stepped forward, stretched out her hand to touch his scar. Then she raised her head as soon as she saw the astonishment in his eyes, "Why do you have a scar here? Have a look! I have one too!" Then she directly showed him the scar under her right breast. Indeed, as she said, she also has... Sean couldn''t look away from her, until he realized that he was sexually aroused... He looked away quickly, then threw a dark-colored towel on her head, turned and walked away. Emma awkwardly pulled the bath towel off her head. It took her a long time toe to herself. She hurriedly covered her breasts with the bath towel, and when she looked up again, he had disappeared. ... Sean lied down on his bed and drank ice water again and again, but it couldn''t decrease his sexual desire. He was extremely irritable, thinking about the scenes in the bathroom. The 20-year-old girl looked so beautiful - her young body, slender legs, big and bright eyes... It waste at night, and he didn¡¯t hear any noise from the bathroom next door. After tossing and turning for a while, he forced himself topletely get rid of that picture from his mind. ... Emma couldn''t sleep well at night at well. In her dream, there were scenes of Ivan and Kate embracing and kissing each other. She was frustrated, and she couldn''t wait to rush up and separate them two abruptly. Was she qualified for doing that? No! Since Ivan said clearly with cold eyes, she didn''t dare to approach him... Suddenly, she felt a little dull pain in her lower abdomen, and had a very familiar feel. She rolled over, and stopped dreaming anymore, breathing evenly. ... In the morning, Emma was woken up by an annoying phone call. She stretched out a hand from the quilt, and grabbed it inside the quilt rudely. "Hello?" Emma said impatiently. "Emma, where the hell have you been?" Joey spoke in sullen voice. She replied in a daze, "I''m at your house..." After speaking, she was half-asleep again. "Nonsense! If you are at my house, why don''t I know?!" Joey''s angry voice came over again, then Emma only became a little sober... Emma sighed deeply with her head sticking out from the quilt. "I''m really at your house!" There came a loud kicking at the door from the phone. Joey spoke with rage. "There are only three guest rooms in my house. I searched them all, tell me, which one are you in?!" Emma sat up from the bed suddenly. The bath towel wrapped around her fell from her breasts, revealing her deep cleavage. Emma looked around, then she almost dropped her cell phone on the bed. Looking at the unfamiliar environment, she also muttered to herself uncertainly, "yep, where am I?" At that moment, she herself was dumbfounded. What happenedst night? She couldn''t recall anything... On the other end of the phone, Joey¡¯s anger rose up in her nose, and said angrily, "Emma, can you be reliable? I can forgive you to leave me alone in the restaurant, but do you know how many calls did your grandpa give mest night?!" Emma panicked instantly, held her phone tightly, and she didn¡¯t mind the towel falling off her chest, and asked, "Then how did you tell my grandpa?" Joey finally sighed and said, "Fortunately, I was sober up quickly. I told him that you have already fallen asleep in my guest room. Then he believed it... Oh, no. You gotta tell me where you are now. " Emma couldn''t tell, because she didn''t know it at all. She got up from the big bedzily, looking for clothes from the floor, only to find that she couldn¡¯t find any clothes there at all. Of course, this was not the worst. When she turned over the quilt, she found that there was blood red on the center of the big sheet, then she was shocked... Joey was a little anxious because Emma stopped talking. "Hello? Emma, why don''t you speak?" Emma was confused. What did she dost night? ! Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. She spoke incoherently, "Joey,... something bad seems to have happened..." When Joey heard this, she panicked instantly, and asked in a hurried tone, "What''s wrong? Emma, are you all right? Did you meet a bad guy??" Emma wanted to cry, and she said, "I have no idea. I couldn¡¯t recognize here when I woke up. I don''t wear anything, and I can¡¯t find my clothes ¡­" "Fuck! Damn it, do you know where are you now? Don''t be afraid, I''ll go right there!" Joey''s angry voice came from the other end of the phone. Emma was in a mess, and she could not think about anything at that moment. In other words, she seemed that she lost her thinking ability. There was a gentle knock on the door. Emma subconsciously picked the bath towel up from the bed and wrapped it around her. She was pale. When she lowered her heartbeat, she continued, "Joey, it seems that someone is outside..." "I am calling the police!" Joey said without wasting a word. "Emma, are you awake?" Sean''s voice came from outside... "Emma, are you awake?" Sean''s voice came from outside again... Emma¡¯s mind went nk, and she could not tell the familiar voice belongs to whom. Chapter 12 Slept with Him Chapter 12 Slept with Him When she came to herself, she hurriedly said, "Joey, wait, don''t call the police..." Emma quickly wrapped herself well with the bath towels. Covering her private parts, she said to the person outside the door, "I.. I have been awake long ago." There was a moment of silence outside, Sean turned the doorknob, then walked in. He thought that she was already dressed, but he didn¡¯t expect that she was still wrapped in the bath towel he threw to herst night. Sean looked away quickly. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Emma was surprised to meet him here, and then asked, "Why are you here?" Sean picked up the quilt that was thrown on the floor, and said lightly, "this is my home. If I shouldn¡¯t be here, where should I be?" Emma couldn''t keep up with the conversation. But he looked quite frankly, Emma even began to wonder if her eyes cheated her just now. Sean put the quilt back on the bed. In an instant, the sheet left her dumbfounded. In the center of the white sheet was a bright red plum blossom-like bloodstain. His facial expression changed in a sudden when he saw it. Emma, who has been educated abroad, was not felt terribly sad about losing her virginity and didn¡¯t care about her grief and angry. But it was just like 10,000 alpacas roar past in her mind, and she had to sigh it was really a awful, drunken mistake. But for having sex such a man much older than her, she really felt a bit loss. Emma still stood there in a daze. But Sean had already put the quilt away calmly, turned and walked towards the door. Emma suddenly stopped and talked to him from behind. "That...did you and I...you know." Emma asked with studied casualness, looking at his back. Sean turned his head and simply replied, "Yes!" Emma seemed to have lost herst reserves of strength. But He came back before she felt grief. A L size man''s shirt was thrown onto the big bed in front of her. Sean said indifferently, "It''s just because I don¡¯t have your size." Only then did she understand what he meant "Yes"... It was totally different from what she asked! Sean didn''t seem to care about her facial expressions, and said, "wear that shirt, then go downstairs to dine. I''ll take you backter." He went out after finishing his words. Joey was still shouting on the phone. Emma looked down and put the phone back on her ear. "Emma, fuck! Tell me, who the hell is that man? I will kill him!" Joey heard the conversation between Emma and Sean on the phone. This time he was really angry, and Emma''s eardrum was about to rupture with his roaring. Emma had a mixed feeling and stared at the closed door nkly. She didn''t know how to tell Joey... ... Outside the door came a voice from a middle-aged woman. "Miss Powell, I''m Mr. Knight''s servant, he told me to ask you if you are ready to dine." Emma was a little hesitated, and hurriedly responded twice, "Well, well, I aming out." When she heard the sound of the servant going downstairs, she rushed into the bathroom. Only then did she find her clothes were all on the floor. But all of them were too wet to wear. Emma picked up a wet suit and said to herself, "Could it be that the sex started herest night, and then had it again on the bed?" She couldn''t even think about the scenes... Emma also had no choice but put his shirt on, but she felt a bit ufortable without wearing trousers. ... She opened the door and went downstairs. Sean was already sitting at the table for breakfast. The breakfast is western-style, simple and light. Sean had a cup of coffee by his hand, and there was nothing on the te except for fried eggs and sandwiches. The dinner te in front of Emma is much richer. There are bacon, ham, fried eggs, sandwiches. There was also a slice of fresh lemon with mint leaves. Emma sat down and picked up the knife and fork. But reminding of what happenedst night, she instantly lost her appetite. She couldn''t help but nced at Sean secretly. Sean was calm, and seemed emotionless. He had breakfast gracefully without a word. That was weird. Emma couldn''t help but wonder, somehow they slept togetherst night, . why was he not embarrassed at all while she was awkward? She stuck out her tongue secretly, he was really good at disguise... "You don¡¯t like the food?" Sean suddenly raised his head and said. When they looked each other in the eyes, Emma almost dropped the metal fork on the table. She shook her head hurriedly, said, "It''s just too much, I can''t eat up all of it... How about I sharing with you some..." With that, Emma got up and intended to transfer the food from her te to his . Sean looked at her calmly, and said coldly, "I¡¯m a vegetarian..." "Huh?" Emma was dumbfounded. Sean looked up at her again, without repeating it a second time. She had to sit back awkwardly... Emma chopped up all the bacon slowly, but none of it was put to her mouth. After struggling for a while, she finally couldn''t help but ask... Lowering her head, Emma stared at her te and said, "Well...what happenedst night...I won''t tell my grandpa." "Yep." Sean replied tonelessly. "Of course, I also know that this kind of thing can''t be more normal in foreign countries..." she pretended to talk lightly. This time, Sean even omitted a yep. Emma bit her lip, then bit the bullet and said, "Just, I don''t know if you used any methodsst night? If not, I might..." "What?" Sean finally raised his head and looked at her. Emma''s face turned red all of a sudden. She ground her teeth and said, "I mean...contraceptive..." "..." After Emma finished her words, she didn''t dare to look up at his eyes at all. Before Sean said anything, the servant had already opened the door and walked in. She also carried a transparent supermarket shopping bag with two packs of sanitary napkins. The servant gave the two bags of sanitary napkins to Emma and said with a smile, ¡°Miss Powell, Mr. Knight asked me to go to the supermarket and buy them for you. But I don¡¯t know which brands you young girls like, so I bought two for you to choose from." Emma stared nkly at sanitary napkins ced on the dining table, and she felt like her face was burning instantly. Although she couldn¡¯t see her own face, she expected that her neck was as red as her face at that moment. Sean didn¡¯t say anything, just got up and left the table. Chapter 13 Ashamed Chapter 13 Ashamed Before going upstairs, he even turned around and said to the servant, "Please wash Miss Powell¡¯s bed sheet and her wet clothes." "Okay, sir." The servant replied respectfully, watching him go upstairs. ... Emma felt she would burst with anger and shame at the table. How forgettable she was! She even forgot herst menstrual period. The servant smiled at her and turned to the kitchen. Emma was the only one left in the big dining room. She covered her face, it was really embarrassing... The phone was ringing on the table, and Joey''s phone number was disyed on the screen. Emma picked it up and talked on the phone, "Joey, don''t get so agitated, that...the story is not what you think..." ... A deep red Cayenne parked outside the entrance of the vi. When Joey saw Emmaing out, he pushed the car door open and walked down. Emma was wearing an iron-gray man¡¯s shirt, and a ck down coat. Her smooth lower legs were exposed. Joey was quite cross, and he would rush inside no matter what happened. If Emma didn¡¯t stop him, he might have rushed in the vi at that moment. He said he had to kill the ¡®beast¡¯ himself. Emma dragged the angry man into the car, and then she was relieved. Joey was still staring at the vi while mming a fist against the steering wheel. He said angrily, "I will kill him sooner orter!" Emma said feebly, "To kill what?! I¡¯ve told you that it was a mistake!" "Mistake? He slept with you when you were drunk...you still said it was a mistake?!" Joey was blue in the face. Emma squinted at him, "he didn''t do anything, it is because I menstruate...I used to think he slept with me when I drunk...Oh, it was a mistake anyway, nothing happened!" Emma became more irritable as she talked. Joey blinked his eyes and stared at her for a long time, his face changed from blue to pale, then from pale to red. In the end, he burst into uproariousughter, then until he choked withughter on the steering wheel. Emma glowered at him, and said angrily, "Isn''t it just menstruation? What''s so funny?!" Joey stoppedughing finally, and raised his head to look at her. Then he tried to keep a straight face, and said, "I''m notughing at your menstruation, I''mughing...you are still a virgin even now! It is just so funny..." She lifted one of her lower legs and kicking his waist fiercely. Emma was really angry at that time... ... Fortunately, when she was back to the Brown family, Officer Brown was not there. Maggie, the nanny, didn¡¯t ask Emma why she dressed like that. Maggie went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch after opening the door. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Joey didn''t follow in the Brown family, but returned when he arrived at the door. He said that he was afraid of seeing Officer Brown¡¯s fat face. ... Emma took a bath and fell asleep without eating lunch. Until the afternoon, Maggie stood at the door and asked softly, "Miss, are you awake? Officer Brown asked you to go down and answer the phone..." Emma merely said, ¡°well¡±, then sat up from the bed. She had changed the man''s shirt already, and reced it with furry pyjamas with a short tail. Wearing slippers, she walked downstairszily. Officer Brown was sitting alone in the living room having tea. Seeing Emmaing down, Officer Brown pointed at the telephone on the side. The phone was still on line. Emma sat down next to Officer Brown with one leg crossed on the sofa, and took the phone from the tea table. Officer Brown looked at his granddaughter lovingly, the wrinkles on his face were all folded together in relief. Emma said hello on the phone. When Simon''s voice came through the phone, she immediately pulled a long face. Officer Brown nced at her and said seriously, "Be polite when talking to your father." After speaking to her, Officer Brown got up from the sofa and walked towards Nunu who was biting the slippers nearby. "What''s the matter?" Emma asked unceremoniously. Simon was stunned by her attitude for a few seconds before saying, "you¡¯ve been back for a few days, why don¡¯t you meet your grandparents?" When it came to her grandparents, she was still sad. At first, Jessie lied that she was pregnant in order to marry her father. Less than one year after her mother died, and the 14-year-old Emma couldn''t ept the fact. The Powell family was in a mess. Simon pped Emma hard across the face. He was determined to marry Jessie, and did not listen to anyone else. It was Emma¡¯s grandfather (her mother¡¯s father) George who drove Jessie out with a cane. But even so, Jessie finally married her father. Thenter... Jessie pretended to be pregnant, and was always directed against Emma. George, who originally loved her so much, gradually began to scold Emma for being naughty because of ¡®theing baby¡¯. From that time on, there has been some misunderstanding toe between Emma and her family. Of course, including George... Simon said, ¡°You have been in Britain for three years, and you didn¡¯t even make a phone call to us. Don¡¯t you know how disappointed your grandparents were? Don¡¯t you remember how did they treat you? Why have I raised such an ungrateful daughter!" "That¡¯s because I inherited from you. You may ask whomever you like to go, but I won¡¯t!" After finishing her worlds, she decisively hung up the phone. Officer Brown turned around, looked at the angry girl, but didn¡¯t ask anything. He knew that they have always been like that, and he has already got used to it. Emma drunk off all the tea that Office Brown left in one breath and slumped on the sofa silently. Officer Brown came and sat next to her, and reached out his hand to stroke her hair. Emma raised her head and looked at him. "Go back and visit your grandma, her health was getting steadily downhill." Emma still had a sore nose when she heard Officer Brown saying that. After all, she grew up with grandpa and grandma, so how could her cut tie with them? ... Before leaving, Emma still brought Nunu with her. When seeing Emma walking the dog, Maggie was curious and couldn''t help but ask behind her, "Nunu didn¡¯t eat anything, where do you want to walk it?" Emma turned her head and grinned at Maggie, and said, "Don''t worry, I promise it will be full when I come back." What Emma said made Maggie confused. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After Ivan had lunch in thepany, he received a call from Kate. Kate said on the phone that he wanted Ivan to apany him to have dinner together at Jessie¡¯s home. Ivan agreed... He had met Kate''s sister Jessie before. Jessie was a well-known show host, and often appeared in a positive image at various charity evenings. But even so, Ivan still disliked her. Chapter 14 Is It Fun for You to Play Games Like This? Chapter 14 Is It Fun for You to y Games Like This? However, he was somewhat interested in Kate''s brother-inw . The the Brown Group was not arge group China, but it was verypetitive. It was mainly engaged in the production of famous domestic wines. In the declining wine industry, the the Brown Group was the only enduring and standing one... After meeting Kate''s brother-inw and his family, Ivan walked out of the vi alone and stood at the door smoking. A ck Jeep with a military license te halted at a short distance from the vi. Emma took Nunu and jumped out of the car, turning around and say goodbye to the chauffeur. Today Emma wore a slim fit coffee-colored woolen coat, which was very figure-ttering. Her long hair, thick and causal, was tied loosely at her back. An adult Siberian Husky followed behind her. Emma was trying to hold the dog leash. The dog with its mouth watering was staring at a bitch in the distance. She reprimanded it in a low voice: "Stupid dog, if you don''t listen to me, I will discard you!" Nunu followed Emma to the courtyard in disappointment, and looked back at the bitch behind him from time to time. Emma finally heaved a sigh of relief. But when she looked up, she saw Ivan standing at the door... The moment when they made eye contact with each other, Ivan paused while smoking a cigarette. He looked at Emma with a little surprise in his eyes. He didn''te to himself until his cigarette burned his hand, then he asked, "What are you doing here?" Emma was not surprised by his question. She still looked confident and calm, and she said, "What? Do I have to report to you before I am going anywhere in advance?" "..." Emma didn''t want to talk to him more, and walked inside with Nunu around her. Ivan grabbed her wrist from behind. Emma turned around and saw the impatient man. There was a deep frown on the ace. He said, "Emma, is it fun for you to y games like this?" Freed from his wrist, Emma stood in front of him and stared at him, and said with sarcasm: "What''s wrong with me?" "As I said, we were done. We are not seeing each other anymore! But why are youing here now? This is not the ce you should be,e with me!" Before Emma retorting, his hand shot out to grab her wrist and pulled her away. Seeing Emma had been bullied, Nunu barked at Ivan fiercely. Probably the noise they made raised attention of the people inside. Soon, someone opened the door and walked out. "What''s wrong? Ivan." A gentle female voice came across. The person who came out was Kate... Ivan paused when he pulled Emma. When Kate saw that it was Emma, her face instantly turned pale. "Emma, why, why are youing here?" Kate''s face turned pale, but she stared at their hands holding together. Ivan seemed to realize something wrong and let go of his hand calmly. Emma held the dog leash, walked steadily in front of Kate, looked at her contemptuously, and said coldly, "what? can''t I go back to my home? It''s you, an outsider, why are you alwayse to my home?!" The word ¡°outsider¡± made Kate¡¯s face instantly turn blue and red. Ivan looked at Emma''s back in disbelief, thinking that there might be something wrong with his own ears. She just said, this... was her home? How could that be! When Emma was abroad, she lived frugally, and he still remembered clearly that she had two part-time jobs. How could she be a family member of the Powell family? ! Yes, herst name was Powell.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. And it happened to be the Powell family here... But, after being with him for three years, why hadn''t she mentioned it before? At the door, another person walked out. This time, it was the nurse who helped George, Simon¡¯s father out. When George saw that it was Emma, the rims of his eyes were red. The old man tremblingly pointed his finger at Emma, and said, "Emma? Are you back?" Emma hadined to George before, but she forgot all the bad memories and felt sad at that moment. She loosened the dog leash, ran to Grandpa in a few steps, and fell into his arms. The old manughed so much that he couldn¡¯t close his mouth with tears in his eyes. He touched her hair gently, and said, "Silly girl, you have been away for more than three years, why don''t you even call me..." At that moment, Emma was ashamed. Hugging George, as if she was still a child, she buried her head in his arms and said childishly, "I''m back now..." ... Emma came down from the second floor and returned to the living room after seeing her sick grandmother. In the living room, apart from George, there were only Kate and Ivan. Ivan was blue in the face, sitting on the sofa. Kate was sitting next to him and she felt no better than him, lowering her head without saying a word. Seeing Emma walking down from the second floor, patted the sofa beside him, and said, "Emma,e and sit here." Emma did so and nced around. George understood what Emma meant, and said, "Your dad went to the TV station to pick up your step- mother. He had just left when you got here." Emma nodded without saying anything. The old man smiled and pointed to Ivan and said, "I haven''t introduced him to you yet. He is Ivan, Kate''s new boyfriend..." Ivan raised his head and made eye contact with Emma. With just one nce, Emma looked away from him. Ivan didn''t say anything, but Emma first raise the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand and said with a faint smile, "My future uncle-inw, right? How are you..." Ivan''s face turned paler, and after staring at Emma in astonishment for a few seconds, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with her. When their fingertips touched, Emma quickly withdrew her hand, and the perfunctory handshake seemed to be a waste of time. Then she turned her head, chatting with George. The atmosphere was a little embarrassing in the living room. Except for Kate on the side, Ivan was still calm, smiling from time to time to answer a few questions from George. But even so, Emma no longer made eye contact with him. "Emma, have you been living with Officer Brown these days?" George asked. Emma nodded, "He lives alone and he¡¯s very lonely. I just came back, so I want to apany him more." George nodded, "it should be like that." Kate, who had been silent for a long time, finally got up, forced herself to smile and said, "excuse me, I''ll go to the kitchen to see if the nanny needs any help...You guys enjoy the chatting." ¡°Uh-huh.¡± The old man said, and Kate walked towards the kitchen. George nced at the clock on the wall and said, "you young people must something to talk about. I will go up and see your grandma..." Chapter 15 Why are You with Him Chapter 15 Why are You with Him Ivan got up from the sofa, supported the old man with his hands, and said, "let me walk you upstairs." George looked back at him, nodded in relief, smiled and said well. ... Emma was the only one left in the living room, looking out of the French window boringly. Nunu was being led not far by the nanny, and the rope was tied to an old por tree in the courtyard. Thinking that she would face Kate and Ivan alone for a while, Emma couldn''t help but be irritable. She got up from the sofa and walked out towards the door alone. In front of the old por tree, Nunu was sitting aside. Seeing Emma approaching, it wagged his tail, jumping up and down happily. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Emma squatted down next to the por, reached out to touch Nunu¡¯s head. Then she lowered her head and yed with it for a while. There was a sound of footsteps on the snow behind her, but Emma didn''t notice that. Until there was a voice behind her... "Emma, why are you with Sean?" She didn''t know when he did stand behind her... Emma slowly got up and turned to look at him. Ivan''s facial expression was not the same as before. He was not impatient anymore, showing that he was care about her. Seeing Ivan like that, Emma had mixed feelings. She looked away from his face and said casually, "what does it matter to you who am I with?" Ivan was speechless. And Emma continued, "Ivan, it¡¯s non of your business. Don¡¯t you worry about that if Kate see us when sheing out? What if she misunderstands us and is angry with you?" Ivan frowned subconsciously, "She is different from you, she is a simple girl..." Emma almost sneered when Ivan said this. She didn''t bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, untied the dog leash from the por tree, and walked towards another big tree with Nunu. Nunu found a new ce, happily raised one of his hind legs, and peed to the ground. Ivan followed her a few steps, "Emma, Sean is not as simple as you consider, he..." Before Ivan finished his words, Emma turned around and said, "Entrepreneur Knight, do you want me to say it again? I don''t need you to worry about me! What kind of person Sean is is his own business! Also, if you are able to read people, then at least you can tell what kind of woman is a bitch! Would a simple girl seduce others boyfriend?" "Don''t get everything involved in Kate, these are two different things!" Ivan said in a low voice. Emma walked in front of him again, looked at his eyes seriously, and said, "Ivan, don¡¯t pretend to be nice. Since Kate''s father helped you out, and you are such a grateful man, then stay away from me and treat your true love well. I have nothing to say with you!" Ivan was speechless. In the courtyard. On the tall por tree, there were only a few remaining leaves that were swaying wildly with the wind. Even if they were still struggling for thest minute, they still couldn¡¯t escape the fate of falling. Ivan and Emma just stood together like that. From a distance, there was a kind of indescribable match. Kate watched that scene quietly through the ss window in the living room. ... When Simon and Jessie entered though the door, the nanny had already served at the table. The family hadn''t been so lively for a long time, and George took out the liquor he had reserved for many years. When Simon passed by Emma, she just ignored him. Jessie came out of the bathroom after washing her hands, and walked in front of Emma with an exaggerated facial expression, "ah, I am really happy today. Emma is back." Emma nced at her, and gave her a sickly smile, "Yes, I haven''t meet you in a few years. My step- mother¡¯s acting skills have upgraded to a new level..." Simon turned his head when he heard the words. "Emma! You shut up!" ... Emma rolled her eyes. The she got up from the sofa, and walked towards the dining table. Jessie, who was on the side, seemed indifferent. She looked smarter and prettier than before. Jessie smiled and walked to Simon, "Simon, since she seldom goes home, don''t be angry with her. She was joking, how can you take it seriously..." Since Jessie ttered her, she didn''t say anything. He took his seat in a blue face. ... The atmosphere was not bad at the table. Halfway through the meal, Emma suddenly remind of something, got up and walked out, "I almost forgot, Nunu hasn''t have dinner yet." "Who was the Nunu? What is Nunu?" Jessie looked at Simon beside her in confusion... Simon''s face waspletely blue, and just about to get up and scold her. Then he saw Emma walking in with a dog that was half a man''s height. Immediately afterwards, Jessie¡¯s screams filled the whole house. The dinning room was suddenly messed up. Jessie hugged Simon tightly, she was paled with fright. Kate, who was on the side, also got up and protected her sister. Everyone in the family knew that Jessie was afraid of dogs. That was why the nanny tied Nunu to the por tree far away, instead of letting it in. Simon stood at the dining table and held Jessie in his arms, and scolded Emma angrily. "Hurry up and take the beast outside. You''ve grown up. Why are you so uneducated!" When ites to uneducated, Emma smiled. She bend down and gave her food to Nunu, and said sarcastically, "with a father like you, how can I be an educated girl? I only know that, Nunu will never be hungry at grandpa¡¯s home. Why should it be hungry here? Anyway, Nunu is a loyal dog, unlike some ungrateful men who are even not as good as it!" When she was speaking, she nced Kate and Ivan naturally. Kate turned pale and looked away, avoiding any eye contact with her. Jessie, who was hiding in Simon''s arms, couldn''t help it anymore, and her eyes were red, "Emma, get it straight, who is ungrateful?" Emma unhurriedly picked up a piece of spare rib, and took it in front of Nunu, then it bit the spare rib immediately. "My mother-inw, are you in such a hurry to admit that?" Emma smiled innocently. Finally, George became angry and knocked on the table with his cane, making a loud bang. "Is this like a home?!" Simon was shock at the moment he shouted, and Jessie also stopped talking. Emma looked back at George - his face was a little pale. Then she lowered her voice. "Sorry grandpa. I''m full now. I will visit you another day..." Chapter 16 Make A Big Fuss Chapter 16 Make A Big Fuss When finishing her words, Emma took Nunu and left without looking back. Emma left. Everyone was blue in the face, especially George. Kate walked quietly to George, and said softly, "sir, you are in poor health. Don''t be angry. I don''t think Emma did it on purpose..." George didn''t look at Kate¡¯s face at all, but stared straight at Jessie, who was still in Simon¡¯s arms, and said, "can''t you let me have a meal quietly? Can''t you stop stirring things up for a moment?! " Jessie was astonished, she frowned, and raised her voice, "dad! You know, I''m afraid of dogs..." The old man picked up the cane and gestured, "it''s just a dog, so is it worth to make a big fuss?" The rim of Jessie¡¯s eyes turned red. Watching the old man, she was close to tears, since he was partial to his granddaughter regardless of right or wrong. After the old man finished his words, he threw the cane aside with a bang, and shouted at the servant beside him, "I am not eating any more, help me upstairs!" The dining room suddenly became quiet. Except for Jessie sobbing, everyone else lower their heads and kept silent. Ivan got up and said, "excuse me, I have something to do. I need to go now." Kate raised her head, her lips moved slightly, and finally did not say anything, and nodded. In fact, it was understandable that Ivan chose to leave at that time. After all, this is the family affair of the Powell family, and he was of no help staying here. Simon got up and sent Ivan out. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª It was dark outside. Emma took Nunu and walked on the street, put her hands in her pockets, and kicked the Coke bottle cap at her feet far away. She never thought that after so many years, she was still so impulsive. Every time she saw Jessie, she couldn''t help but want to rush up and tear her hypocritical face... However, apart from being a little guilty for her grandpa, she was actually quite happy that night. The phone in the pocket of her coat rang. She took it from her pocket, it was Ivan calling. Emma ended the phone call and put it back. Her phone rang again, then she ended it again. After repeating several times, Emma was also annoyed. She answered the phone call and said angrily, "what¡¯s wrong with you?!" There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and Sean''s voice came. "Emma?" She was stunned, then she recognized that it was Sean. She couldn''t help but whispered, what did he call for? Did he want to mention the car window again? Thinking of this, Emma''s tone immediately became gentle, and said, "Uncle Sean..." There was an Uh-huh came from the other end of the phone. "The nanny called and said that your clothes have been washed. Do you want someone to take it to your grandfather¡¯s, or you want to pick it up by yourself?" Sean asked. Emma immediately became nervous, and said, "Don''t send it to my grandpa¡¯s. I''d better go and take it by myself when I have time." "OK¡­¡­" After Sean finished his brief words, he hung up the phone. Emma stared at the phone nkly. A few secondster, the barking dog pulled her back from her thoughts. She lowered her head and realized that the dog cor was opened. Nunu regained freedom, and was trying to rub against a street light pole happily. She held down Nunu in one hand, then she squatted down, and grabbed one of its ears, "don''t run away!" After that, regardless of the resistance of Nunu, she fastened the dog cor. After fixing the cor, she had the dog leash on her wrist again, pped her hands and got up. However, before straightened her waist, she felt a sudden pain... Sean''s car parked by a roadside in front of Lijing International Building. Just finishing smoking a cigarette, a slender woman walked out of the building. She looked around, her eyes fixed on his ck Bentley. Rachel opened the door of the co-pilot from the outside and sat up. Rachel was very sexy that day. She was wearing in a short fur coat over her deep V bright blue dress, holding a silver hand bag. A diamond bracelet on her wrist was shining brightly by the street light. Her hair was also shaped into a single big wave. She just came out from the birthday party of a socialite. "Are you calling me?" Rachel fastened herself a seat belt while looking back at the mobile phone in Sean''s hand, and asked him with a smile. Sean did not answer, put the phone down, and asked tonelessly, "Are you cold?" "I am fine." Rachel smiled gently, and said, "Let''s go, my mother told the nanny to cook your favorite dish. She can¡¯t wait to meet you." "OK." After the conversation, Sean started the car. ... Emma squatted on the ground with one hand clutching her belly. The pain brought her out in a cold sweat on her forehead. Nunu squatted quietly beside her, watching Emma. It barked once in a while because it felt dissatisfied of being tied. Emma tried to get up again, but she still ended in failure. She had never had such a severe pain before, and she couldn''t even tell where the pain came from. Taking a deep breath, she shivered and took out her phone and called Joey. The call was made, but it could not get through. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. She threw the phone on the ground, the cold sweat on her forehead had dripped. She suffered from dizziness and blurred vision. Traffic zoomed past her and a familiar ck Bentley was passing by. Finally she couldn¡¯t bear the pain, and she knelt on the ground... ... Sean was not driving fast with soft music ying, and Rachel was closing her eyes and leaning the co- pilot to rest. There was a dog under the street light not far away, which was not conspicuous. It was just a woman squatting on the ground, while the husky on the side was sticking out the tongue, looking left and right. Sean wiped out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray. Looking up again, the woman and the dog had been left far behind his car. Rachel couldn''t help coughing, adjusted her sleeping position with her eyes closed. And the next moment, Sean seemed to think of something. Just now, the dog under the street light... ... Sean jammed on the brakes. Rachel¡¯s head leaned forward because of inertia. Opening her eyes, she looked at Sean curiously, and asked, "Sean, what''s wrong?" Sean was calm, then he said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I can¡¯t keep you apany to have dinner. Tell your mother, I am sorry." Rachel was stunned. A momentter, she frowned but her tone was still gentle. "Okay, go ahead and I''ll take a taxi and go back by myself." Sean didn''t say anything, turned his head and watched Rachel unfasten the seat belt and got out of the car. After Rachel got into a taxi nearby, Sean turned around. Chapter 17 Sickness Chapter 17 Sickness ... She felt loss of strength because of the pain. In her limited memories, neither dysmenorrhea nor stomachache had ever been so severe. Thinking of her physical condition, panic seized her. She didn''t dare to tell her grandfather and she didn''t even know who to call. Yes, wasn''t there still emergency call? Ambnce¡­¡­ Thinking of this, she stretched out her hands to fumble for the mobile phone she had lost not far away. However, she didn¡¯t find her phone, but she touched a pair of men''s leather shoes. Following the straight legs of the man, Emma raised her head difficultly. No one knew why, when she saw Sean''s face clearly, her tears unexpectedly fell. Sean pushed aside the overenthusiastic dog and bent down, "What happened to you?" Emma couldn''t tell, anyway, tears and sweat streamed down her cheeks. Sean didn''t ask any more questions, and directly picked her up and strode towards his car, which was parked on the side of the road. ... With her head leaned on his chest, she felt a sense of security that she had never been felt before. She raised her head, stared at Sean¡¯s charming chin, and asked, "Uncle Sean... am I going to die?" Sean opened the car door with one hand while lowering his head to put her in, panting slightly. "Nope," he said with absolute certainty. However, Emma couldn''t tell why she actually believed what he said at that moment... Emma, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had a pale face that could be described with white paper. The sweats on her forehead and hair stuck together, and even her lips tremble when the pain struck her. Sean was driving fast. But he still remembered to reached out and touched her forehead. Fortunately, her forehead was not hot. Sean looked serious, and his gaze settled on her hands, which pressed her stomach: "Move your hands away." Emma released her hands, and Sean stretched out his hand towards her. Seeing Sean aiming at her left chest, Emma wanted to hide, but he was dragged her back again. He controlled the steering wheel with his left hand, and his right hand fell below her left rib. He pressed it down gently, and looked into her eyes and asked, "does it hurt?" Emma shook her head, and then nodded. She felt so numb and pain that she couldn¡¯t express clearly. But the next moment, Sean suddenly let go. Emma frowned and let out a cry of pain. Sean''s became more serious without looking at Emma. He turned to take his mobile phone ced on the storagepartment. Emma didn''t know who he called. In short, it was a woman who answered the phone. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª At the entrance of the hospital. Lying on the rear seat, Nunu raised his ears and his head, looking out of the car window in confusion. Sean scooped her up in his arms and got out of the car, and opened the window just a little bit. At the door of the emergency room, someone was already waiting there. A woman in her 40s, with neat short hair and a white coat, was waiting for him. Watching Sean came in and held Emma, she greeted him. "Sean, is this the girl you just told me on the phone?" The woman was a little surprise. ... Sean raised his head, nced at the woman, and said, "the left side of her stomach hurts when pressing it..." The woman nodded and asked the head nurse on the side to pull the mobile bed towards them. Emma lied it on, but she tightly tugged at his sleeve and frowned. She didn¡¯t want to let him go. Sean bent over and said in a low voice, "I''m waiting for you outside." The corners of Emma''s eyes were wet again, and she shook her head vigorously. Maybe he didn''t know that a hospital was the ce Emma feared the most... The head nurse nced at Sean and said, "Since you are her family member, you can follow in. Don''t waste time. It''s important to let the doctor diagnose first." Sean hesitated for a moment, and finally followed her into the emergency room. ... The female doctor who had just spoken to Sean came back. She nced at Emma who was lying on the mobile bed, turned around and said to Sean, "Whose child is she, why haven''t I seen her before?" With that, she stretched out her hands and uncovered Emma''s clothes. Sean did not answer, but instead answering the question, he said, "her symptoms were more likely to ur after meals with severe pain, and sometimes she is conscious, sometimes she is not..." The female doctor nodded and said nothing. Sean stood aside, as far as he could see were Emma''s t stomach and the hazy edge of her bra. He turned sideways, a little distracted. He didn¡¯t know why, what appeared in his mind at this time was she was totally naked in the bathroom.. The female doctor pressed a few times on the left side of Emma''s stomach, and her symptoms were simr to what Sean described. "Call someone over for blood collection and basic blood indicator testing, amse testing, urine testing, and stop having food temporarily, including water..." After finishing her words, just about to put down Emma''s clothes, she paused again. The female doctorid her eyes on a scar about 10 cm long on Emma''s right chest. Her face expression changed, and she lowered her head and asked, "Have you had surgery before?" Emma nodded hard. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. The female doctor asked again, "what kind of surgery?" Emma''s face turned paler, staring at the female doctor''s face, and then whispered after a while, "liver surgery..." While they were talking, a nurse had already stepped forward and collected blood in an orderly manner. The female doctor put down the clothes on Emma''s chest and turned to look at Sean, "Sean,e out with me, I have something to tell you." Sean raised his head and looked towards the mobile bed. Emma frowned, making it clear that she didn''t want Sean to follow the doctor. Sean stepped forward, and he surprisingly lowered his voice, "don''t be afraid, I''ll be right back." Emma bit her lip, but she could only nod her head then watched the nurse taking blood from her arm. ... In the corridor, the female doctor turned around and looked at Sean behind her. "Sean, you have to inform the kid¡¯s family. From her symptoms, I can tell it is basically in line with the signs of acute pancreatitis. She must receive treatment immediately, otherwise she will be in danger. However, if her liver function is iplete, then the medication for her is rtively risky ..." Sean was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I see..." When Sean returned, Emma had been arranged in a ward. In front of the hospital bed, Sean looked down at Emma who was frail, "Your current health condition is not so good, I will inform you grandpa..." "No way." Before Sean finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Emma. She looked pale and drawn with a firm tone, "I can''t let him know that I had liver surgery before." Sean didn''t ask why, but bent down and sat in a chair beside him, looking at her calmly. Emma didn''t understand why she would trust such a stranger, but she just didn''t want him to call Officer Brown. Chapter 18 He is my uncle Chapter 18 He is my uncle They looked at each other without saying a word. After a while, the female doctor walked in with Medical Risk Notification. She said to Sean, "have you notified her family to sign?" Before Sean spoke, Emma already said, "he is my family, he is my uncle!" Sean''s face expression changed. The female doctor also stunned, and thenughed, "why don''t I know you are my daughter?" What? ! Emma was a little confused... Finally, Sean got up from the chair, took the Notification, and said, "never mind, I am signing it..." ... Several infusion bottles were strung together, and the drops flowed into her blood vessels little by little. After adjusting the monitoring equipment, the nurse on the side said to Emma, ¡°you must know that acute pancreatitis can be fatal, especially for people like you who have suffered liver damage before. Remember, from now on you cannot eat or drink anything until you get the doctor¡¯s permission, otherwise you will be in danger..." Emma''s face was still pale with her widened eyes, then she asked, "how long will it take?" The nurse smiled secretly, "at least 3 days." If it was in normal times, she would surely jump up from the bed. She looked incredulous, "I will starve to death!" The nurse pointed to the 2000ml saline water and said with a smile, "there is no way, you can only rely on microelement to maintain what your body needs. This is the only way to treat pancreatitis no matter where you are in China." Faced with the dissension, Emma could only stare. After advising her, the nurse gave him a quick nce before leaving. She was shy and blushed. Unfortunately, Sean did not have eye contact with her at all. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Emma leaned on the hospital bed and browsed miroblog with her mobile phone. But she kept secretly ncing at Sean who was sitting aside. she couldn''t help but mutter in her mind, Sean was too perfect, deep eyebrows with angr facial features. His five sense organs were charming, plus his special identity...If he smiled, that would be too good to be true... Sean got up and walked to the door. Emma threw the phone in her hands and asked nervously, "where are you going?" Sean turned around, looked back at her, then said calmly, "go out and smoke." Emma still didn¡¯t feel easy, staring at him tightly with her big eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Then are youing back?" "..." Sean did not answer, but after watching her silently for a while, he nodded. ... It waste at night. Sean stood at the door alone, lowered his head and had a cigarette in his hand. Someone came from behind, and the sound of footsteps stopped beside him. It was his sister-inw Julia Fletcher. After Sean turned his head and took a look, he turned around. Julia took off the doctor''s coat and put on a long coat of hematoxylin color. "Sean, who is that kid?" Julia''s bright eyes sparkled in the night, and she looked at Sean seriously. Sean took a deep breath, avoiding her sight, and said, "sorry, your trip back to Australia has been dyed." Julia smiled, looked away, and stood in a row with Sean, looking out the gate of the hospital. "You have the same temper as your elder brother. If you don''t want to answer, you will change the subject calmly... As everyone knows, I haven''t even had a chance to quarrel with him over the years." Sean was silent, looking down at the cigarette in his hand. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Juliaughed at herself, said, "that kid is so pretty, and her beauty reminds me of an old friend." "Old friend?" Sean raised his head and looked at Julia. Julia did not have eye contact with Sean, and said to herself, "If it wasn¡¯t for her age, I would consider she is my old friend..." After finishing her words, she sighed and patted Sean''s shoulder a few times, "Okay, that¡¯s it. I have to catch an early morning flight at 6 o ''clock. Now I have to leave for the airport." Sean extinguished the cigarette, and said, "Let me drive you there." Julia shook her head, looked at the hospital, and said, "No, you should stay and take care of her. I can call a taxi by myself." Sean said nothing, and watched her leaving the hospital. ... When he returned to the ward, Emma was already asleep, leaning on the head of the bed. Sean stood in front of the bed, looking down at her. Emma slept in a very awkward posture, with long soft hair and sweats sticking on one side of her cheeks, holding her phone in one hand, and pressing against her stomach with the other hand to relieve pain. Sean bent over, gently picked her up, preparing to lie her down. The she mped her hand on his waist and muttered, "Don¡¯t be naughty, Ivan. I have a part-time job tomorrow morning..." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her arm on his neck. She didn''t even open her eyes. She raised her head and kissed his lips gently. Sean paused as he was holding her, and she also took the opportunity to loosen her arm, curled up and lied on the bed, muttering herself, "just one kiss, don''t be naughty..." Sean was speechless. It took a long time for Sean to straighten up. He thought it was unbelievable. The unexpected soft kiss seemed to remain at his mouth. And he even did not try to avoid that kiss. Emma''s mobile phone vibrated and rang, and then he picked it up from her pillow. Sean nced at the name of the caller, and then he already frowned unconsciously. "Emma, where are you? Why don''t you answer my call?" Ivan''s voice came from the phone... Sean was quiet for a moment, picked up the phone and walked to the window, then stand still. "Emma, why don''t you speak?" "She is asleep..." Sean said calmly. Ivan was silent for a second, and then asked, "Who are you? Howe Emma is with you sote?" "Rather than asking me, it''s better to ask herself when she wake up. What do you think? Mr. Barnes..." Sean said coldly. There wasplete silence on the other end of the phone. Sean lowered his eyes, nced at the phone indifferently, then hang up the call directly. He didn¡¯t know why he was a little irritable at that moment. ... Early in the morning. When Emma opened her eyes, Sean was no longer there. Instead, Joey, who in a red coat, was sitting by the bed. Joey lowered his head to y mobile games, didn¡¯t notice that Emma had woke up. Emma moved, stretched out her hands to touch her pancreas. It seemed that it was not so painful. Hearing the sound, Joey also raised his head. "Are you awake?" Joey put the phone aside and walked towards the bed. Emma nodded weakly, and said "why are you here?" Chapter 19 His Neckline was Open Chapter 19 His Neckline was Open Joey was confused, "didn''t you forward me a WeChat message this morning?" "Me?" Emma was surprised. After a while, she figured out that it must be Sean who had done it. Thinking about that, there was nothing wrong. Sean was so busy after all, how could he stay here all the time... Joey seemed that he could conjure. He took a pack of fried chicken wings behind him with a smile, then asked, "are you hungry? I asked the nanny to make the fried chicken wings for you early in the morning." Emma was indeed hungry, since Sean was not there, she had already forgotten the doctor''s words. She held a crispy chicken wing in hand. Before eating it, she was stopped by a big hand. Emma raised her head and happened to see a pair of dark and deep eyes. Sean was in an iron gray shirt and straight ck trousers without a tie, and his neckline was slightly open. They were the same clothes from yesterday. He looked a little tired, and obviously he hadn''t had time to go back and change them. Joey was surprised at how Sean appeared there. But Sean directly ignored him and set his eyes on Emma''s face. He took the chicken wing from her hand and threw it into the trash can on the side. "Even if you have nothing left to live for, you shouldn¡¯t choose such a stupid way to suicide," Sean was blue in the face. Emma swallowed and looked into the trash can. Before she could understand why Sean scolded her, Joey took the initiative. He got up from the chair and stood in front of Sean. They were of simr height, but Sean seemed more powerful. "What do you mean? What are you trying to insinuate? What happened to my girl eating chicken wings? What''s upsetting you?" Sean nced at him coldly, turned around and picked up the jacket on the back of the chair, and walked straight out without looking at him. Joey turned around and looked at Sean, then said, "fuck, why is he so arrogant?" Emma was speechless. It was not long before Sean had left, the nurse came in. When she saw the packet of chicken wings in front of Emma, she scolded, "Didn''t I tell you not to eat or drink anything?!" "I didn''t, I didn''t eat..." Emma was a little guilty. Hearing this, the nurse breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her tone, "you are so young that you should be serious about you health. Pancreatitis is a disease that patients are forbidden to eat or drink. Once you disobey it, your pancreas will secrete arge amount of digestive enzymes, which will worsen your condition. So you must not try, remember?" Emma nodded, and Joey¡¯s face turned pale... ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Apart from lying to Officer Brown that she was going to live with George for a few days, Emma was sitting on the hospital bed all morning, watching Joey eating all of the fried chicken wings. Joey threw away the paper bag which was containing the chicken wings, and saw Emma''s long face, and smiled embarrassingly, "I forgot that you are still hungry, or... do you wanna smell it?" A pillow was thrown on Joey''s face, and the ward was full of his heartlessughter. Joey went to the bathroom. From inside came the sound of sshing water. Emma raised her head and nced at the window. It was a bit cloudy that day. She picked up her phone and browsed the weather forecast. The forecast said it wouldn¡¯t snow... Suddenly she reminded of Nunu, she hurriedly found Sean''s number on her contact list. She dialed his number, and Sean answered the phone call soon. "Hello?" A deep voice came. "Where''s Nunu?" Emma asked. Sean on the other end of the phone said, "in my house, no animals are allowed in the hospital." Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, she said to him, "thank you." Sean didn''t reply. Then he said calmly, "I will send a nursing assistant to take care of you. She will arrive at the hospital at noon." Nursing assistant? Emma didn''t know where her courage came from, "then are you stilling to see me?" Sean was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, as if he was smoking, "If I am avable, I will come to see you..." If he was avable...? It seemed perfunctory. Before Emma could ask again, the phone call was already hung up on the other end. Emma looked at the phone in her hand nkly, getting a little upset for no reason. However, her upset disappeared quickly, because Joey''s mobile phone rang suddenly in the bathroom. His ringing tone was a woman¡¯s groaning because of orgasm... ... L City central business district was not surrounding by high-rise buildings. Close to the river, there was a renowned vi. A Mercedes-Benz was slowly entering, then stopped in front of a butler in Chinese tunic suit. The car door opened, then a woman got off. The old butler stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "Mydy, you are back." The woman nodded, and looked at a ck Bentley parked not far away. She turned her head and asked the butler, "Is Sean back?" ... When the woman Belle walked into the living room, she saw that scene. Sean stood in front of the French windows facing the light. He was in a neat white shirt with ck trousers, holding a mobile phone in his hand. A dog was squatting beside him. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g The afternoon sun shone on Sean and Nunu. It seemed that they were ted with a golden line. Sean and Nunu were looking down at the Guyou River in the distance, as if they were all thinking about something. Sitting on the sofa was the 93-year-old old man Charles, Sean''s grandfather, who was holding an iPad. The old general of the past was still hale and vigorous, sitting upright. He was an hero who personally led the army to fight at front line of the War of Resistance. "Dad, why didn''t you take a nap today?" After Belle handed her handbag to the nanny, she stood at the door and changed slippers. Charles ignored his daughter-inw''s question, and reached out his hand and hooked one of his fingers towards Sean. His voice sounded oddly resonant, "Sean,e over and tell me, why the scene is still?" Sean turned his head, walked towards the sofa, took the iPad from the old man, and nced at the gray picture on it, "you were killed at the game again." The old man suddenly became angry, pointed to the iPad and said, "I don''t believe it. Start again! When I led the soldiers to fight the Japanese invaders, I shot one at a time. Now I can''t beat the little guy at the game?!" Sean was speechless. Belle could not help but smile, walked past them towards the kitchen, and told the cook what to prepare for dinner ... Belle liked dogs. During dinner, she did not forget to ask the nanny to prepare a meal to Nunu. The atmosphere on the table was a bit cold because it was the custom to eat without saying anything in that family. Herman, Sean''s father, was also a soldier. Although he had been in business for many years, he kept a straight face all the time with dignity. He put down his chopsticks, as if he had something to say. "What have you been up totely?" The question was for Sean. Chapter 20 Got to the point Chapter 20 Got to the point Sean didn''t even raise his eyelids, and said, "Get to the point." Herman was blue in the face, "you''ve only been the president for a few days, but you¡¯ve already put on airs!" Sean didn''t say a word, and ate slowly. Herman frowned, "I introduced a girl to Colin¡¯s second son who was divorced. You know about this, don¡¯t you? They are going to have a baby soon. Shouldn''t you n to marry Rachel?" Sean picked up a piece of broli, but did not bring it to his mouth, and raised his head. "If you didn''t tell me, I really didn''t know. When did you start to be a pander?" Hardly had Sean¡¯s voice faded away, did Herman put his bowl and chopsticks on the table heavily, "how can you talk to me like this?!" Sean kept a poker face, he withdrew his own, and leaned on the backrest. Belle nced at his son who didn¡¯t feel like to eat anything, and quickly turned around tofort Herman. "Herman, talk nicely, we can talk about that after dinner." "Who is really hard to talk to, he or I?!" Herman pointed at Sean and said angrily. Belle couldn''t say a word when he was yelled at her. Sean got up and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Herman, "I haven''t finished speaking, stop there!" Sean stopped, but he did not turn around. Looking angrily at his son¡¯s back, Herman suppressed his emotions and said, ¡°You are 31 years old. Rachel has been with you since she was a child. She is 28 years old now, but you think about your own career only. Shouldn''t you think about her? Why are you always putting off getting married with her?" Sean turned around, frowning. Herman stood up from the dining table and red at him, "Don''t forget, had it not been for Rachel to save your life, I am afraid that you would have died on the operating table long ago, and you would never have a chance to be alive today!" "That''s it? Then I have a question. If the donor was a man, would you also force me to marry him as soon as possible?" "What nonsense are you talking about!" Herman held the cdon bowl, and then threw at him. Sean lowered his head, watching the bowl shattering at his feet. His arm hurt. Herman pointed at him and said furiously, "a filthy mouth will not utter decentnguage!" Belle hurriedly stood up. Not only did she feel sorry for her son, but she was also afraid that Herman could not control his temper. She persuaded Herman, "Sean and Rachel have been in a good rtionship. Why did you talk about that suddenly? Besides, Sean didn''t say he wouldn¡¯t marry. It''s just that he has been busy with work recently..." Herman was blue in the face, "Is he busy? Busy for what! I know clearly about thepany. I have raised him for more than 30 years. Don''t think I don''t know he is a yboy!" Belle was speechless. Charles, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke with a loud voice, "don''t always bully my grandson. Let me tell you - you were inferior to him when you were young." "Dad¡­¡­" When the 93-year-old man spoke, Herman could only stare nkly with a long face. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In the Central Hospital. Emma was lying on the bed alone. She was so hungry that she was panicked and anxious. The nursing worker came back with her dinner, fearing that Emma would feel even worse when she saw it, she hid in the corridor to have it. Joey has already gone back home. Before leaving, he promised Emma that he would not tell her parents about she was ill in hospital, for fear that he couldn¡¯t keep the secret. Emma raised her head and nced at the electronic clock on the wall. It was eight past five in the evening. She slept a lot during the day, so she didn''t feel sleepy at all. She picked up her phone. Even though she updated WeChat moments and mircoblog, she still felt bored Finally she opened the address book, but she didn''t know who to call. Her eyes fixed on a string of numbers that she has already kept in mind. Ivan was the most familiar name to her. She wanted to dial his number with her fair and slim finger several times, but finally held back. Now that Ivan didn¡¯t belong to her anymore, what should she say if she called him... At the door, she heard someone was turning the doorknob, and then pushed the door open. Emma tucked her cell phone under the pillow, turned her back to the person, and said, "Nurse, I''m used to sleeping alone and I don''t need nursing care. You can go back. I will call a nurse if something happens." The sound of footsteps behind her stopped. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. After a long time, the person behind her said, "it''s me..." Emma suddenly turned around... Sean came out of the riverside vi, the night has fallen. The driver Jacob drove the Bentley out of the garage slowly and stopped steadily beside him. Jacob got off the car and opened the door of the back seat, "Sean, get in the car please." Sean took a cigarette and lit it with his head down. After raising his head, he nced at the chauffeur, "give me the key. I will drive it back by myself." The chauffeur nodded and gave way to him. ... He drove out of the vi, then the door slowly closed. Sean controlled the steering wheel with one hand and picked up the phone with the other. There were 3 missed calls on the phone, all of which came from the same person. He squinted his eyes, put the phone back in ce, and smoked another cigarette. The reflection outside the car window countermarched. Sean was distracted. In his messy thoughts, it was the scene that happened in the hospitalst night. As if Emma¡¯s lips were still rubbing against his lips. The scene was virtual but real, he couldn''t help but stretch out his hand to touch it, thought he was still holding the cigarette. Suddenly, the scene came into his view, Sean jammed on the brakes. The taxi in front of him was moved forward by his car, then stopped. The taxi driver turned off the engine, pushed the door and got off. He stood at the rear of his car, watching the ce where the two cars crashed. Imported Bentley Mulsanne was obviously expensive. The taxi driver wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Sean should take full responsibility, otherwise he couldn''t afford it. Sean didn''t get off, and watched the taxi driver walk over towards him calmly. After opening the car window, the taxi driver bent over and asked with a smile, "Mr. Knight, do you want to make the insurance im?" Sean felt irritable suddenly, he turned around and took his wallet. He took out a pile of cash in it and handed the money from the car window without looking at the driver. He said indifferently, "no!" The taxi driver picked up the money without saying anything. He recognized Sean because he has appeared on the news many times. In the blink of an eye, Sean''s car had passed by him. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In the hospital, Simon has just caught a chill. Emma looked at his face in a daze. Simon was in a hurry, with scattered snowkes on his head and shoulders. In the past few years, Simon hadn''t changed much. He was even more elegant just as a sessful man. Chapter 21 Stir Up Troubles Chapter 21 Stir Up Troubles Holding the car key in his hand, he fixed his eyes on Emma''s pale face. "Are you hiding in the hospital after stirring up troubles?" Simon said coldly. For such a father, Emma has nothing to say but felt bitterly disappointed. She felt deeply wronged, then pulled the quilt over her head. Years of umted grievances seemed to burst out at that moment. The quilt was uncovered by Simon, and the white ceilingmp was bright that Emma had nowhere to hide. Simon stared angrily at Emma who curled up on the hospital bed, and said angrily, "If it weren''t for your step mother who forced Kate to tell the truth, I really didn''t know that you have a rtionship with Ivan." His voice was heavy with sarcasm, Emma slowly raised her head, "what do you want to say?" Simon was furious, "why did you learning nothing but choose to be a shameless the other woman at your young age?!" "The other woman?" Emma almost thought that there was something wrong with her own ears. Simon said with certainty, which made her almost thought that she was the other woman who should be scolded. But what about the facts? Emma sneered, staring at her cold-blooded father, "who is the other woman, Kate or I?" Simon was taken aback when he was asked, and turned to irritably opened his coat with arms akimbo, then stared at her. "I really didn''t expect it! How did I educate you before? How could you be so shameless and call white ck and ck white? Since Kate and Ivan have such a good rtionship, do you think I am blind?" She was bitterly disappointed with her father. At that moment, she suddenly didn''t want to exin. In Simon''s eyes, she would always be a bad girl. Simon would choose to believe Kate when he saw her grievance and helpless in her eyes, no matter what Emma said or did. What was the use of exnations? "Why don''t you speak anymore? Do you approve tacitly?" Simon, blue in the face, looked scary. Emma raised her small face and looked at him indifferently, "if you came to denounce me, then you have finished your work. Can you go now?" Simon turned around in anger, then turned back and pointed at her angrily, "you are the same with your mother - stubborn!" "How could an unfaithful man like you me my mother?!" Emma finally became angry. The taboo between them in these years was nothing more than that. Even if Emily passed away, Emma still would not allow anyone to speak ill of her, especially her father who was unfaithful when her mother have passed away not long ago! Simon was trembling with anger but couldn''t find a word to refute. Emma still stared at him fiercely, "in those years, you passed off ck as white and beat my mother regardless of ck and white. Don''t think I don''t know. You and Jessie were hiding in the study and doing nasty things. Don''t think I am not aware! Everyone believes that you were with her after my mother passed away, but I am the only one knows what you did! Jessie is ungrateful, even not as good as a dog. Am I wrong? If it wasn¡¯t my mother who subsidized her to finish college, how could she have today¡¯s life?! But what did she do? Climbed onto your bed and seduced her benefactor¡¯s husband. I scolded her for ungratefulness, which was not enough to describe her sins!" A crisp sound of p seemed particrly abrupt in the ward. Emma didn''t hide, but suffered the p herself. After Simon pped her face, he was stunned. He was nearly 50 years old but never thought he would still be so impulsive. Emma¡¯s head was still held high, and stared at him with wide eyes. She was reluctant to show weakness. Even if she wanted to cry, she held back her tears, st time you hit me was because of Jessie, this time again, it is for her. You can''t tolerate me saying anything bad of her. I want to ask you, have you ever cared about your daughter?" "..." "Don''t turn the topic to your step mother, I know what kind of girl Kate is. I know her temperament very well. But you, apart from causing troubles, what else have you done since you were a child? You lie all the time, how can I trust you?!" Emma didn''t want to argue anymore. She closed her mouth, stared at the ceilingmp above her head, and didn''t want to say a word anymore. Simon saw that she was no longer arguing, he was less angry with a long face. After a while, he said, "When you are discharged from the hospital, get out of here and back to the UK. Kate and Ivan are about to get married. Don''t show up in front of them to embarrass me." After finishing his words, Simon turned and left the ward. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In a private club. Sean loosened his tie and watched Edward pour the bright red wine into the ss. Handing the wine ss to Sean, Edward said with a smirk, "Sean, you suddenly called us out today, is there a happy event to announce?" These buddies who grew up with Edward knew without exception that Sean and Rachel were getting married. Sean didn''t answer, but took the wine ss and sipped it, "France''s PETRUS." ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Edward, who was turned aside from the topic, was not so easy to give up. He snatched the wine ss from Sean''s hand and put it on the side table, "Sean, what kind of red wine have you never seen? Just be honest with us. Let¡¯s talk about it. Don¡¯t be mild on the outside but wild on the inside. When is the date? After all, you will marry the goddess who is in everyone¡¯s minds, don¡¯t you allow us some time to ept the sad fact?" Sean smiled, and the phone in the pocket of his trousers rang. Edward nced at Sean''s mobile phone and rolled his eyes. Sean got up, took his cell phone out , and walked out of the private room. In the rtively quiet corridor, Sean answered the phone. The nurse¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. "What''s the matter?" Sean asked. The nurse said, "Mr. Knight, I''m so sorry to disturb you at thiste hour, but I think I really can''t take the job anymore at the hospital..." Sean frowned. The nurse continued, "I have cared for so many patients, and there is no one who has such a temperament as Miss Powell. It''s not that I¡¯m choosy. It''s really..." "What are you trying to say?" Sean''s tone was a little cold. The nurse knew that she was too long-winded, and hurriedly said, "the story goes like this. After dinner, I went to the water room to wash my lunch box. When I went back to the ward, I didn¡¯t know what was wrong with her. She picked up the pillow and threw it at me, then shouted to let me out. If I didn¡¯t leave, she would lose her temper and not allow me to disturb her. You know, I am a nursing assistant and my job is to take care of the sick. She is even not allowed me to enter the ward at all. If anything happens, I''m afraid I can''t take this responsibility..." Chapter 22 Dont Turn on the Lights Chapter 22 Don''t Turn on the Lights ... When Sean arrived at the hospital, it was already around 11 o''clock at night. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. The light was off in the ward, it was pitch-dark. The nurse stood in front of the door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Seaning. Sean didn''t say anything, and opened the door of the ward with a chill. Emma sat on the hospital bed with her knees folded, and tilted her head downwards in the darkness. No one could see her facial expression. "Didn¡¯t I say you are not allowed to enter the ward?" Emma''s voice was a little nasal. Sean''s footsteps receded, and after a while he walked towards the light switch. "Don''t turn on the light. As I said, I don''t need someone to take care of me. Can you leave me alone?" Emma said, in a low voice. Sean¡¯s hand was paused on the switch. He turned around and looked at the figure on the hospital bed. Sean pulled the chair and sat down beside the hospital bed, with the light from the streetmp outside. "It''s me¡­¡­" He said in a low voice. But Emma, whose mind was in turmoil, instantly felt calm. Emma raised her head. In the dark, her skin still looked fairy with sharp bright and beautiful eyes. Nobody couldn''t tell if she had cried secretly. "You didn¡¯t n toe, did you?" Emma asked emotionally, without her pride and bossy. In fact, Emma has called him three times. It was not because he didn''t see it, it was because he didn''t even want to answer it. He thought what he did was enough for the girl. Being relied on could be a burden for a cold fish. Sean has already paid medical expenses and hired a nursing assistant for her. He had no reason to stay here anymore, especially when he had to face such an immature and self-willed girl. Sean sat in front of the hospital bed and didn¡¯t say anything, only the slight rubbing sound of his coat when he moved. Emma no longer looked at him, but turned to look out of the window. A thinyer of snow has umted on the edge of the window. This winter was too cold for her. It snowed almost every day... "Do you know that there is a low-cost Chinese restaurant ...between Aldgate and Liverpoolstreet underground stations in London? asionally, we would go to the restaurant when we had part-time job that day. The food there is very good with authentic Chinese taste, just as at-home food... I don¡¯t know when it started. I have already forgotten the taste of home..." The needle in her blood vessel caused her a sharp pain, but she didn''t bother to pay attention to it, "I used to think there was a home where there was with him. It belonged only to the two of us, no matter where we were. We cooked the dishes we liked, and work hard for the rent of next month together. But we were still happy..." Emma took a deep breath, lowered her long eyshes which were reflected on her face, "I naively believed that Ivan has the same goal as me..." She spoke incoherently about her past with Ivan, Sean listened quietly. But from her heavy breathing, Sean still heard the abnormality. "What happened?" Sean''s low voice was like the sound of cello, which was pleasant to listen to in the silent night. In the darkness, Emma was in a choked voice, "Ivan is getting married..." ... Sean did not reply, and he even began to feel a little irritable. In the stormy night, he was sitting in the ward and wasting time listening to a little girl''s previous rtionship. Sean changed his sitting position, his legs still crossed gracefully. Half of his expensive watch was exposed on his wrist on the arm of the chair. Through the light outside, he saw the sweats on Emma''s forehead. However, they didn¡¯t turn on the air conditioner in the ward, and the temperature was very low. He couldn''t help but reach out to her forehead. Sure enough, her forehead was very hot. Emma didn''t hide. Instead, she was greedy for the temperature of his dry and warm palms. Because it just like shey enfolded in Sean¡¯s arms when she fell asleep in London. Sean got up. The pager button was behind Emma. When his arm crossed her, Emma was surrounded by his arms. Emma looked up and saw his neat and charming chin. As soon as Sean''s finger touched the button, he trembled. At the same time, his neck sank, and Emma was already entangled with him. The voice from the pager rang through the loudspeaker in the corridor over and over again, "Ward No. 1309 is calling, ward No. 1309 is calling..." Before Sean stayed away from her, Emma threw her arms around his neck tightly. Her breath was slightly bitter because she hadn''t had anything for two days, and her lips were dry. Her small restless hands touch around him wildly, and she was also trying to kiss him. If it weren''t for the awkward position, Sean couldpletely push her away. But his hand happened to be entangled by the transmission pipe. There was a salty taste in his mouth, Emma was crying... Sean was stunned. She whimpered, "Don''t refuse me... Actually I can do better than Kate..." At that moment, Sean was angry. Who did she regard him as? Ivan?! It was the first time that he felt intense shame and humiliation over 30 years. Regardless of the transmission pipe wrapped around his arm, he stretched out his hands and held the back side of her head, and gave her a nasty bite on her tongue. Emma was in pain, and wanted to hide. But she was held down by Sean. This was the second time that Emma took initiative to kiss him. The first time she was painful and confused so it made sense that she regarded him as someone else. But what about this time?! Why should he continue to pretend to be someone else? Sean had only one thought in his mind at that moment - let her learn the lesson. At first, Sean took the retaliatory kiss for granted, but when he came back to her sense, he realized that how stupid he was. He had sex drive which he shouldn¡¯t have when facing her. Was he deceiving himself? He was sober instantly, and the white light suddenly lit up at the same time. The light was so dazzling that he couldn''t open his eyes. The ward was instantly bright as day, and the nurse holding the saline bag in her hand was stunned at the door. The nurse did not expect that the moment she turned on the light, she would see such a passionate scene. ... The nurse stood at the door embarrassingly, without knowing if she should enter or retreat. Sean let go of Emma, who had been kissed and almost lost her breath. Without saying a word, he turned and walked out. Emma''s mind has gone nk, and she couldn''t even remember what happened just now. The nurse gave way to Sean, and her gaze settled on him with surprise. ... The nurse took Emma''s temperature, looked at the temperature disyed on it, and said, "you temperature is 39.7, which is too high. Aren''t you dizzy?" When she was asked by the nurse, she suddenly felt dizzy, and even struggled to sit. Chapter 23 Isnt He Your Uncle? Chapter 23 Isn''t He Your Uncle? "What did I just do?" Emma looked at the nurse. The nurse blushed, looked at her with a smile, and said, "I saw you kissing him. He is so handsome! You are so lucky..." Kiss? Emma''s mind was wandering. Her eyes were a little dull because of a high fever. Seeing Emma who was lying down weakly, the nurse helped her adjust the needle in her arm again, "I have to let the doctor give you a fever-reducing intravenous drip. You can¡¯t be like this..." Emma was thinking about that matter. She probably didn''t hear what the nurse said, so she only nodded dumbly. The nurse put away the thermometer, turned and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned back. Staring at Emma in astonishment, she asked, "I just remembered it. Isn''t he your uncle?" Emma was speechless. On the first floor. In the color ultrasonic room, Kate was lying under the instrument and undergoing the examination. Outside the room, Ivan was sitting in the waiting area. After a while, he got up and walked towards the bathroom not far away. After peeing, he stood alone in front of the sink, washing his hands gracefully. Someone came out from behind. Soon, there was a pair of slender hands next to him. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g The man turned on the faucet and scrubbed his hands carefully. His movements looked so elegant, and didn¡¯t ssh any water on the marble on the sink. Following these perfect hands, Ivan raised his head and looked in the mirror in front of him. Just a nce, his movements stopped. They looked at each other in the mirror. Ivan was somewhat surprised, but Sean was not affected at all. With an indifferent face, he turned his gaze back and walked in the direction of the hand dryer. The noise of the hand dryer sounded. Ivan turned his head to look at Sean, but what Sean left him was just a back. Ivan didn''t know why he always felt that the gaze Sean looked at him was indifferent, but not friendly. Sean made his hands dry, answered the phone by the way, and strode out of the bathroom. Ivan suddenly remembered something. Before he couldpletely dry his hands, he had already strode out. In front of the induction door of the emergency room, Sean had already stepped one of his leg out of the door. Ivan just wanted to call his name, but was stopped by Kate, who had juste out of the color ultrasound room. Kate stood behind him with the report in her hands. She followed his gaze towards the door, and asked, "Ivan, what are you looking at?" ... Ivan turned around. His look was a littleplicated. He looked down at the report in Kate''s hand and asked, "How is it?" Kate blushed, and put the report behind her, "The doctor said there was nothing wrong with me. It¡¯s just irregr menstruation, not bleeding. I overthought it..." Ivan nodded, "Well. Let''s go back." Kate said yes, but did not move. Ivan, who had already turned around, turned back again. He looked at her confusedly, "Why don''t you leave?" Kate was more blushed. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "My high school ssmate works as a nurse here. She told me when she apanied me to do the examination just now..." Having said that, Kate nced at Ivan shyly, then quickly lowered her head. Then she continued, "She suggested that we¡¯d better have a pre-marital physical examination..." Ivan''s face sank, but he didn''t say anything. After a while, he said "OK". Kate was a little disappointed. However, watching Ivan striding ahead, she had no choice but to follow. But before leaving, she did not forget to nce towards the door of the emergency room... On the weekend. Albert Macey was so happy, because his two daughters came back together. Today, Albert Macey was no longer the small vendor who set up a fruit stand on the side of the road. A gold ne which was as thick as a little finger hung around his neck. When he smiled, a row of brilliant white dentures showed on his swarthy skin. Since he lived in a high-end residence in a prime area in the city, he had been restrained himself every day. In order not to shame his daughter Jessie, who was a star, he had recently learned from those people who had status. He was deeply afraid that he was worse than those people. But even so, he was still like an upstart. He put on all kinds of famous brand stuff all over his body. Every time when he went to, he always liked to brag, wishing everyone would know that his daughter was famous. Now, he was ying with a set of tea sets, clumsily learning from theplicated tea art on TV. Jessie sat on the sofa beside him, smiling while holding an entertainment magazine in her hand. Kate, who was on the side, kept bowing her head in silence. She seemed to be in a bad mood. Bang! Albert himself overturned the teapot with hot tea in it. He was impatient and pushed the tea set away, "Fuck off!" Jessie threw the magazine away and stretched out her hand to pick up the teapot. Just when she raised her head, she saw the big golden chain on Albert''s neck, frowning. "Dad, take the gold chain off your neck. It''s ugly." Jessie said. Albert nced at his eldest daughter dissatisfiedly, "What''s wrong? I like gold. It looks magnificent. I''m still going to change my Mercedes-Benz¡¯s logo to gold in a few days..." Jessie was stunned. Staring at her father who had a bad taste, she was speechless. Imagining a million-dor Mercedes-Benz which had the golden car logo on it, she couldn''t help but feel creepy... Kate, who was silent for a long time, finally spoke. She turned her head to Jessie and asked, "Sister, do you have something to tell me?" Hearing Kate''s words, Jessie just remembered something, "I almost forgot it. I just wanted to know how you and Ivan are going. Did he propose to you?" Kate''s face looked gloomy again. Then she shook her head. When Albert heard it, he also raised his head and looked at his little daughter. "Sister, I don''t know if I''m too sensitivetely. I feel Ivan doesn''t like me..." Jessie frowned, ¡°How is it possible! I saw him buy a ring at the counter of a brand jewelry storest month. How could he not act yet?" Hearing Jessie''s words, Kate''s face became more solemn. She bit her lip without saying a word for a long time. Kate hadn''t spoken yet, but Albert, who was sitting at the side, spoke first. With a confident smile on his face, he looked at his little daughter and said, "Kate, don''t think too much. Maybe Ivan wants to give you a surprise. Besides, if he didn''t have my help, could he have had today''s achievements in L City? If he dares to be ungrateful, I will tell everyone what he has done. Don''t worry! Your sister is famous now. Isn''t it a trivial matter if she wants to let him gain extreme notoriety?" Chapter 24 He Has His Own Pride Chapter 24 He Has His Own Pride "Dad..." Jessie interrupted him, "Please stop saying you helped Ivan. He also has his own pride. " Albert disagreed with Jessie''s point of view. He thought he was reasonable, so he yelled, "Why can''t I mention it? Five million! If it weren''t for me, where would Ivan be now? Now, he is the youngest entrepreneur! Then he forgets all my favors to him?" Jessie felt that she couldn''t talk with her father, so she turned her head and didn''t look at him, but instead set her gaze on Kate, who was pale. After a while, Kate looked up and said, "Dad, Ivan paid you back the money long ago. Don''t mention it anymore. I really like him. I don''t want him to feel owe me, so he can only be with me reluctantly..." Now that Kate had said so, Albert didn''t know how to persuade this daughter. He got up from the sofa and said angrily, "I said this for your own good! Forget it! I don''t bother to care about your things. Anyway, you¡¯d better know what you are doing. Don''te back and cry when Ivan runs away with other women!" After speaking, he turned around and left the living room. The living room was quiet, except for a British short tabby cat sleeping on the carpet. The couple of sisters did not speak. There was a loud noise from the door. Albert''s loud voice sounded outside, "I''m going to y mahjong with James. I¡¯lle back at dinner!" ... Jessie stretched out her hand and patted Kate''s shoulder, thenforted her, "Kate, don''t have too many worries. I think the reason why you be so sensitive during this period of time is because Emma has returned. Don''t worry, as long as there is a chance, I will ask your brother-inw to send her back to Ennd." Kate finally nodded, "Sister, I''m fine. I won''t let Ivan go back to Emma again, no matter what method I use..." Seeing Kate like this, Jessie was still a little relieved. She knew her sister¡¯s personality. Under the gentle and delicate appearance, her sister was extremely shrewd. Just a mindless Emma! She was naturally not her sister¡¯s match at all. Monday was the day when Emma was discharged from the hospital. Joey rushed over early in the morning, sat in front of Emma''s bed, and handed her the room card of a five-star hotel, "Is it really ok that you stay in the hotel alone these days? How about going to my house? My mother can take care of you..." Emma shook her head and put the room card into her wallet, "No, if your mother knows that I''m sick, she will tell my grandpa the first time. If my grandpa knows that I have been cheating him, he will break my leg! " N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Joey was a little tangled. Watching Emma bend down to tie her shoces, he squatted down, snatched the shoces from her hands, and helped her tie the shoces seriously. A nurse opened the door and walked in. She said to Emma and Joey, "Today is Monday. There may be a lot of people who will be discharged from the hospital. Doctor Lowe is still doing an operation. You have to wait for him to sign the stuff about some discharge procedures." Emma nodded, "We are not in a hurry." The nurse nced at Joey and said with a smile, "After taking her back, don''t give her fried chicken wings anymore. She can¡¯t eat anything with oil for a month, remember?!" Joey was blushed. When the nurse went out, he murmured to himself. But fortunately, it was not heard by the nurse. When he turned around, he found that Emma was lost in the thought. Joey stared at her curiously and asked, "Emma, what are you thinking about?" Emma came back to her senses and then said, "Nothing. I just don''t understand one thing." "What''s the matter?" Joey raised his long legs and straddled the chair. "If you take the initiative to kiss a person, and that person doesn''t avoid you, what will it mean?" Joey hurriedly asked, "Who did you take the initiative to kiss again?" Emma red at him, "I just said if! Can you stop putting everything on me?!" "Well¡­" Hearing this, Joey finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he pondered for a while and said, "Either the man likes you, or he is too scared to react¡­" Emma pondered for a moment, feeling that thetter was more likely. Seeing Emma holding her chin in a daze, Joey said again, "Please lift up your noble buttocks, you are sitting on my phone..." Emma moved aside. Joey got up to get the phone. However, as soon as he got the phone, Emma grabbed Joey''s hands. ... Then she hugged Joey''s neck and pressed herself to Joey. The two were too close, hugging each other in a strange posture. Joey''s face turned pale. He stuttered a little, "What, what, what do you want to do?" Emma moved closer and looked into his eyes. The tips of their noses were pressed against each other¡¯s, and they could hear each other¡¯s breathe. She could even hear Joey''s heartbeat speeding up, but she didn''t hear Sean''s... She finally breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe she really thought too much. Sean was almost older than her about 12 years. How could he fall in love with her? There was really no other exnation! Sean was forced to endure her kiss. See, Joey didn''t react, either. "What''s wrong? Do you want to kiss me?" Joey said with blinking eyes. Emma suddenly wanted to tease Joey. So she deliberately leaned close to his lips, "Have a try?" When she was speaking, she dragged Joey over by the cor. Just as she wanted to bite his lips, Joey stopped her. Joey''s face turned paler, "Wait... you don''t like me, do you? I tell you I''m a serious person. Although we have been ying with each other since childhood, I really don¡¯t have any other thoughts about you. If you really want to kiss me, I won¡¯t object. But why do I feel like it¡¯s so weird?" Emma couldn''t help but burst outughing. She pushed him away, "What are you talking about! I just want to scare you, and want to see what kind of reaction normal people have when they encounter this kind of thing.¡± "Holy crap!" Emma yawned and didn''t pay attention to Joey''s looks. She took Joey''s phone and opened the screen lock, ¡°I want to eat vegetable porridge from Vegetarian Restaurant. You go to see whether the doctor is back now. I am waiting for him to sign the name and then I can leave the hospital..." Joey felt so speechless. Chapter 25 Why Are You Here Chapter 25 Why Are You Here Joey took the signed receipt and went to the charging office on the first floor to go through the discharge formalities. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Emma took off the hospital gown and put on a light blue long knitted pullover. She was sitting in a chair and looking through news. The door of the ward was opened. There were some footsteps. Emma thought it was Joey, so she didn''t look up, "The procedures arepleted so soon?" After a while, the person said, "Emma, it''s me..." Kate''s soft voice was like a very thin needle pierced into Emma''s skin, making Emma feel so ufortable all over her body. Emma raised her head, put the phone on the side of the hospital bed, and asked coldly, "What are you here? How do you know that I am in the hospital?" Kate''s face was a little pale. She frowned, which made people feel so sorry for her. She always looked aggrieved in front of others. If it was in the past, Emma felt that it was because Kate felt inferior from the bottom of her heart, she showed such a look. But now Emma didn''t think so. Kate was just like a cat, who could consciously or unconsciously arouse the protective desire of the people around her. Even Emma felt so, let alone a man. ... "Don''t worry. I didn''t tell anyone you¡¯re sick. I just learned about it identally. My ssmate is a nurse in this hospital..." Kate exined. Emma coldly picked up the phone again, "You are really worried about me!" Kate heard the irony in Emma''s tone. In fact, what Emma said was right. Kate did it deliberately. After noticing Ivan''s abnormality at the entrance of the emergency room the day before yesterday, the first person she could think of was Emma. She barely slept in these two nights. The first thing she did to get up this morning was to call the hospital to ask. Sure enough, with the help of her ssmate, it was not difficult for her to find Emma''s name. On the way here, she made enough psychological preparations. In any case, she must make a clear with Emma today. She could no longer allow Emma to stay in the country... "I think we two should have a talk." After a while, Kate spoke. Kate looked a bit nervous, but her attitude was tough. Emma raised her head, put the phone on herp, straightened her back, and said, "It just so happens that we two should have an end." Hearing Emma''s tone, Kate couldn''t be tough anymore. She didn''t know why she always felt so humble in front of Emma. It was not because of her origin or her appearance. In short, as long as Emma raises the head and looked directly at her, that kind of inborn pride would be revealed naturally. Kate finally looked away because of a guilty conscience. In the chair, Emma sat steadily as before, with her eyes still locked on Kate''s face, waiting for her to speak. Kate took a deep breath and said, "I know you hate me and don''t want to see me. Fine! I don''t want to waste my time, either." Emma showed a fake smile. Kate walked to the window by herself, turned her back to Emma, and looked at the snow on the ground outside the window. "My parents divorced when I was 4 years old. My mother ran away with the pesticide seller in the town. I only remembered her back when she left. I forget her appearance... My father made a living by selling fruits. We lived in a state of being chased by cops..." Kateughed at herself, "I have been afraid of the cops since I was a child. In my eyes, the cops are not good people. They forced us to live a difficult life." "What does this have to do with me?" Emma''s cold voice came from behind. Kate turned around and looked at Emma who was sitting in the chair. Emma was so pretty. Her facial features were so delicate and had no ws. Even in a weak state, she could still look so good. Besides, she had the strong family background... "Emma, you don''t know what inferiority is. That''s because you were born with a silver spoon. But I was not! I can only watch you enjoy the best thing, including Ivan..." Speaking of Ivan, Kate inadvertently revealed a moment of softness. She walked up to Emma and looked at her condescendingly, "Emma, do you know? From the first time I saw Ivan, I knew that this man would definitely be mine. Although you were already with him..." Emma smiled sarcastically, "Is that the real reason that you said I was the mistress in front of my Dad?" Kate''s eyes widened. She stared at Emma, and said, "Aren''t you? Ivan has already said it very clearly. He loves me. He has never loved you. So how can I be the person to intervene you guys¡¯ rtionship? But now, you always pester Ivan. This is not a mistress?! Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know you! I know you hate me guts. Even if you can''t get Ivan, you don''t want him to be with me. Am I right?" Emma''s sitting posture remained the same. She looked up at Kate, not to be outdone at all, "You are right. I really think so." Kate smiled suddenly, then a scornful look showed on her face, "Unfortunately, you don''t have this chance. Do you know that Ivan and I are getting married..." Emma''s face sank. Seeing Emma''s face like this, Kate felt so relieved. She took a deep breath, then raised her head and said, "So you¡¯re unhappy, right? I tell you it will be more than that! Ivan and Ie to the hospital today just because we have to do a premarital examination. We nned to have a child." Emma gritted her teeth. She wanted to rush to tear off Kate''s nasty face, but she also knew her current state and knew she couldn''t beat this bitch! Kate got her confidence back. Then she turned around to pick up her handbag from the hospital bed, and took the phone out of it. A slender finger tapped on the screen. Soon, a photo popped out. She handed the phone to Emma, waiting to see Emma''s wonderful look. Emma''s hand trembled slightly. She knew that there wouldn''t be any good things in it, but she still couldn''t help but take it. Holding the phone in her hand, lowering her head, the familiar figure came into her view. The background of the photo was the airport in L City. A young couple kissed each other affectionately. Chapter 26 He Doesnt Love You Chapter 26 He Doesn''t Love You There was no need to look closely. Emma knew who it was. Because Ivan''s neck was still surrounded by the scarf she had personally selected for him in a London street shop. Emma''s eyes were stinging, but what made her breathing more difficult was the date marked on the corner of the photo. The date indicated that it was Christmas two years ago. Two years ago... At this moment, Emma felt she was like a fool. She was so naive that she was deceived by the two closest people around her. Two years ago, Ivan was still holding her and nning their future, but at that time, he was already with Kate. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Kate was very satisfied with Emma''s reaction. She stared at Emma arrogantly, "Emma, now you should believe that Ivan doesn''t love you. The only person he loves is me... Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you. Actually, we slept together two years ago..." ... "Get out of here!" Emma hysterically threw the phone at Kate. Kate didn''t have the time to dodge it, so the phone just hit her eye socket. Just when Kate was screaming, Emma got up from the chair, grabbed Kate''s hair, and dragged her down on the bedside table. Kate''s back waist hit on the corner of the table, making a loud noise. The thermos and water cups on the table fell to the ground one after another, and sshed everywhere. When it came to fighting, Emma had never feared anyone since she was young. When she was 15 years old, she and Joey became the little overlord near the school, which was the main reason why Simon forced her to go abroad. However, in order to avenge Kate, she and Joey broken the head of the people who bullied Kate with a beer bottle. But now, the one who was pressed down by her was Kate. Although Emma was too angry, she was still weak, so her strength was limited. Kate quickly straightened up from the bedside table and pushed Emma away from her. Emma stepped back a few steps and stepped on the fragments of the ss. But she still dragged Kate, so the two fell to the ground together. "You are crazy!" Kate eximed. Her face paled. She looked down at the palm of her hand being pierced by ss shards. The blood was slowly oozing out. There was also a sharp tingling on Emma''s wrist. There was a four to five centimeter long cut between her palm and the wrist, which looked terrible. She raised her hand. The blood was winding down her arm, dyeing the cuffs of her light blue sweater red. Emma didn''t say a word. There were messy footsteps at the door. When Ivan appeared at the door, all three of them were stunned at the same time. Kate''s tears shed quickly, watching the injury on her palm, crying. Emma withdrew her gaze from Ivan''s face with an indifferent expression on her face. She wanted to get up, but then she realized that her ankle had also been cut. Ivan recovered from the shock and strode towards the two of them. Kate stretched out her uninjured hand to Ivan, with an aggrieved expression on her face, which made others feel sorry for her. But Ivan didn''t even look at her. He walked past her and squatted directly in front of Emma. "Emma, are you okay?" Emma raised her head and looked at Ivan. His ck coat was stained with her blood. But he didn''t mind it at all, though he had a fetish about cleanliness. He directly focused his eyes on Emma''s ankle. Then, Ivan picked Emma up and walked out of the door. "Ivan..." Kate''s face was so pale and she looked at him incredulously. Ivan went out with carrying Emma. He didn''t turn his head, let alone to care about Kate who was sitting on the ground behind him. ... In the corridor, Joey walked directly to Ivan who was holding Emma. Such a scene! Joey mistakenly thought he saw it wrongly. He stretched his arm and stopped Ivan who was anxious, "Ivan, where are you going to take Emma?" Ivan didn''t want to talk to him, so he just replied briefly, "Surgical operating room." After hearing this, Joey noticed the blood on Emma''s clothes... "What did you do to her?" Joey panicked. "Get out of my way!" Ivan''s face was cold. He yelled at Joey. Before Joey could react, Emma had already spoken. "Let me down!" Emma stared at Ivan. The only temperature in her eyes disappeared after she heard Kate''s words. The tone of such an order made Ivan stunned. Joey on the side also recovered. He grabbed Emma''s arm, and said, "Emma, I''ll take you there!" Then, Joey reached out to Emma, trying to lift her out of Ivan''s arms. Ivan didn''t say anything, but he hugged Emma tightly and refused to let her go. The bills in Joey''s hand were scattered all over the ce. While looking at Emma, he had to bend over to pick them up. Soon, Emma was lifted out of Ivan''s arms. It was just that this person was not Joey... ... The appearance of Sean shocked everyone in ce. Joey hadn''t gotten up yet. Ivan''s face quickly turned pale. However, Emma was the most surprised one. Emma originally thought that since Sean was "scared away" by her two days ago, he would never come again. But she didn''t expect... Sean firmly hugged Emma in his arms, and said to the nurse who had rushed over behind him, "Go and call the surgeon over for consultation." After speaking, he didn''t even look at Ivan who was stunned. He hugged Emma and strode back to the ward. After Joey reacted, he strode after Sean into the ward. At the door, Kate walked out of the ward and saw all these. Ivan stood alone in the corridor, and didn''t move for a long time... ... In the ward, the ss shards on the floor had been swept out by the nurse. Emma sat on the hospital bed and watched the surgeon bandage her hands and ankles. The doctor turned to Sean and said, "Mr. Knight, Miss Powell''s injury is not serious, but she bled a lot. In order not to leave scars in the future, we have adopted conservative treatment, no sutures. She doesn¡¯t have to stay in the hospital for observation. But she¡¯d better take some anti-inmmatory drugs by mouth to prevent wound infection." Sean nodded. Joey followed the doctor out to prescribe anti-inmmatory drugs. The ward was temporarily quiet. Emma didn''t know why her mood was calm at this moment. Her anger disappeared too fast, as if what happened just now was just her illusion. She raised her head to look at Sean''s perfect face. Then she said, "I have been thinking, are you the God sent by heaven to protect me?" Chapter 27 Do You Want to Date with Me? Chapter 27 Do You Want to Date with Me? Hearing what Emma said, Sean was taken aback first, and then said expressionlessly, "No, you are the troublemaker sent by the God to torture me." Emmaughed. She had never thought that Sean, who had a serious face, would actually joke with her. ... In the corridor. Ivan and Kate were sitting in the rest area. Neither of them looked gloomy, and never said a word from beginning to end. The wound on Kate''s palm had been treated. It didn¡¯t bleed now. A thinyer of medical gauze was wrapped around her palm. Sean came out of the ward with holding Emma in his arms. He passed the two persons without looking at them at all. Ivan got up suddenly, causing Kate to look sideways. Emma leaned in Sean''s arms and let him hold her quietly. Sean had a unique breath on himself, mixed with a faint tobo fragrance, which was different from Ivan''s refreshing taste, but it made Emma feel very reassuring. Emma closed his eyes, leaned her head on Sean''s chest, andpletely ignored Ivan and Kate. Ivan withdrew his gaze until Sean and Emma disappeared from his sight.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Kate on the side finally couldn''t sit still a bit. She picked up her handbag and walked to the stairwell. Behind the door, she deliberately stayed for a while, thinking that Ivan would catch up, but she didn''t expect that there were no footsteps after a long time. In front of the hospital''s parking lot, Sean opened the car door and bent down to put Emma in. Before Joey walked out of the gate of the hospital, Sean had already started the car. Emma nced at the entrance of the hospital, then turned to ask him, "Where are you taking me? Joey hasn''te out yet." Sean focused on the way ahead with no expression on his face, "You can''t live in the hotel alone now." Hearing this, Emma panicked, "Then where are we going? You can''t send me back to my grandfather, right? If he sees my injuries, how can I exin it to him?" Sean nced at her faintly in the rearview mirror, "Near CJ Apartment, I have a vi there. No one is there. You can live there for the time being. There is a nanny to take care of you. Your dog is also there. I don¡¯t go back often..." Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief. But after a while, she felt that something was wrong again. She looked at him with her big eyes, "Why are you so good to me? Do you want to date with me?" Sean was speechless. Before he spoke, Emma lowered her head to examine herself first, and said, "I really can''t find any good points in me. I guess your taste is not so..." After speaking, Emma leaned on the seat listlessly. Sean smiled... "Holy crap! Where are they?" Joey stood in the empty ward with a pile of medicine in his hand. He didn''t put down the medicine until the phone in the pocket of his coat rang. He took the phone out. The screen of the phone lit up. It was a message from Emma. He opened the unlock button, but the content pissed him off. ¡°Send the medicine to No. 45, CJ Vi. Come by yourself.¡± He replied, ¡°Damn it!¡± After speaking, he left the ward angrily. But after a while, he turned back again, picked up all the medicine on the bed, and muttered to himself, "Damn it!" ... The ck Bentley parked smoothly. The traffic jam on the road had been more than half an hour. Sean turned back to see Emma who was sleeping soundly. She was a little thinner, but she was still beautiful. Her long eyshes were hanging down. A few strands of hair on her fair face raised and fell with her even breathing. His gaze fell on her neckline. Her blue wide-necked sweater revealed her delicate corbone and her cleavage. It was not sexy, not charming, but it also made him unable to look away. In the airtight car, the faint scent of Emma was in the air. Sean forced himself to turn his head and stop looking at her... He used Emma''s phone to send a message to Joey. But the reply he got was "Damn it!" Looking back at sleeping Emma again, he turned up the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees before he took out his cell phone and called Edward. "Send some medicine for trauma to CJ Vi." Sean calmly said to the phone. Edward on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised. He asked anxiously, "Bro, are you injured? Why don''t you go to the hospital?" "Don''t ask so much. Just send it over." After speaking, Sean hung up the phone, not giving Edward a chance to ask more. ... Emma was awakened by a ringing tone of the mobile phone. When she opened her eyes, Sean was answering the phone. Leaning in the car seat, she secretly looked at his side face. Sean was also good-looking, but he was different from Ivan. Ivan was the kind of person who was born without a sense of distance. He was gentle. Others all felt it was easy to get along with him. Sean was not. He was handsome, but the feeling he gave others was that he was not easy to get along with. Emma looked at him attentively, while Sean suddenly turned his head. Emma was shocked and didn''t know where she should look at. They looked into each other¡¯s eyes. Emma''s heartbeat was fast, which was chaotic and irregr. It wasn''t until Sean hung up the phone that Emma deliberately moved her body and pretended to see the road conditions ahead. "I woke you up?" Sean''s voice was low and steady. "No, I¡¯m hungry..." Emma lied. Sean started the car, controlled the direction with his left hand, ced his right hand on the gear, and said faintly, "I have let the nanny prepare some porridge for you. But other than it, you can''t eat anything..." He added, "This is the doctor''s order." Emma was speechless and did not dare to refute. She didn''t know why she was restless along the way. She wanted to turn her head to look at Sean, but she dared not. Besides, she didn¡¯t know the reasons. Sean''s car and Edward''s car arrived almost at the same time. Edward closed the door and strode towards Sean''s ck Bentley. When he approached the car, he noticed that there was a person sitting in the passenger seat. He stopped, bent over and waved to Sean. Sean parked his car into the parking space before opening the car door. Edward did not step forward. Sean walked to the position of passenger seat and hugged Emma out. Now, Edward curiously put his gaze on Emma''s face. In Edward''s eyes, Emma was in her early twenties. Undoubtedly, she was very beautiful, especially her eyes, which were clean, free of impurities and simply pleasing to the eye. Looking at the white bandages on her wrists and ankles, Edward knew that it was not Sean who was injured. Chapter 28 It Hurts Chapter 28 It Hurts Emma was hugged upstairs by Sean. She sat alone on the big bed in the guest bedroom on the second floor. Before Sean turned around and left the bedroom, suddenly, a ck shadow jumped in and directly rode Emma down on the big bed. Nunu''s huge head was against Emma''s chin. The saliva on its tongue was all over Emma''s body. Emma winced and screamed, "It hurts. It hurts..." Sean lifted Nunu from Emma''s body by its neck. The bandage on Emma''s wrist was loosened by Nunu. Some blood was oozing out. Sean frowned very tightly. He yelled at Nunu, "Nunu, go out!" Emma guarded Nunu''s enthusiastic offensive again. She watched Nunu drooping its tail and ran out of the bedroom dejectedly all the way. Emma''s eyes widened in disbelief. When did Nunu listen to him like that? In a few days'' time, Nunu rebelled her again? ... Sean took Nunu downstairs. After a while, Edward came up. In the bedroom, Emma watched Edward professionally re-bandage her injured wrist. She couldn''t help but curiously asked, "Are you a doctor?" Edward raised his head and took a look at Emma. He had to say that Emma was indeed so beautiful that people couldn''t move their eyes. He couldn''t help but sighed, secretly feeling a little pity for Rachel. "How old are you?" Edward asked nonchntly. Emma was taken aback for a moment, "In half a month, it will be my 20th birthday..." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Emma felt that Edward was not friendly. Edward made tsk sound twice. Then he got up and tidied up his simple medicine box. He couldn''t help asking, "How long have you been with him?" This question was a little inexplicable. Emma was a little confused, "With whom?" "Sean!" Emma couldn''t helpughing. But in Edward''s eyes, such a gesture was like a girl who was in love with her boyfriend. Emma was innocent. She didn''t think too much, so she replied straightforwardly, "It''s been half a month." Edward shook his head. He felt this girl was really not simple. She managed to get Sean easily in half a month? However, as the friend of Sean and Rachel, he couldn''t help but say with earnestness, "I also understand the thoughts of you young girls, but Sean is really not your type..." Emma didn''t like to listen to these words, "Doctor, I don''t get you. So you mean he is your type?" Edward, who was under 30 years old, suddenly sank his face. "Forget it! It''s useless to say more. You can do it yourself. In short, you can get nothing but money from him. It''s for your own good that I remind you." Emma waspletely confused by this strange doctor, "You are really weird. Why do I want his money? I have to give him money!" Hearing that, Edward waspletely shocked. Did Sean be this girl''s toy boy? ! When Edward came downstairs carrying the medicine box, the look in his eyes changed. However, Sean didn''t notice Edward''s eyes. He was holding coffee in his hand and looking down at the obedient Nunu lying at his feet. Edward handed the medicine box to the nanny beside him, washed his hands, and then sat on the sofa on one side. "How is it?" Sean asked without raising his head. "Pretty, but too sharp." Edward made a concluding statement. Sean raised his head and looked at Edward with a puzzled look, "I''m asking you, how is her injury..." Edward was speechless. At noon, Emma had a strange dream. In the dream, she watched herself being pushed into the surgery ward by a group of British doctors and nurses. On the hospital bed, her face was so pale that she was almost transparent. She was curious as to why she was looking at the operation from another perspective now. In the same ce, on a different operating table, another man was waiting for her liver. She only knew that the man was very good-looking, with a long body, but she could not see his face clearly. The man had no pain. He was as quiet as falling asleep. Emma walked towards him. Soon, the man opened his eyes. He looked at her above his head, and said softly, "Come here, Emma, come to me,e to me..." The man suddenly changed to be Ivan. Emma rushed to hug him and wanted to cry anxiously. But soon the scene was changed from the hospital to the rental house in the UK. Everyone in the room went to the birthday party of the host''s aunt, but she and Ivan were the only ones left. The chandelier in the room was on. The ambiguous and soft light spilled on the big pink bed behind her. Ivan hugged her and kissed her forehead. His whole body was hot, as if the fever had not gone away, but his movements were gentle. Emma wrapped her hand around his neck, feeling his kiss, indulging in it. She didn¡¯t know whose name she was whispering. Ivan changed to the other guy in a blink of an eye. This feeling made her lost. She lifted the man''s face up and looked at him quietly. The man''s attractive facial features were slightly twisted, "Do you know who I am?" "Sean..." Emma was surprised at why she called his name. However, the person in front of her was just him! His figure was very good, which made Emma''s nerves tense. They cooperated very tacitly and kissed together, but there was no awkwardness, as if all these developments were so natural... A hearty experience made Emma so thirsty, but she still hugged him tightly, unwilling to separate. It wasn''t until it felt like falling from the clouds that Emma woke up from her dream. The afternoon sun came in. It was warm on the body. Emma sat up abruptly from the bed. A thinyer of sweat came out on her body. How could she have such a dream? ! Emma tiptoed downstairs. There was a person who was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room with his back to her. Standing on the stairs, Emma''s heart pounded. The dream just now appeared in her mind. Seeing Sean again, she felt nervous as if she had done a bad thing. Flora, the nanny, was walking past the stairs. She looked up and saw Emma standing still on the stairs, then she hurriedly came up to help. "Are you awake?" Flora asked softly. "Flora, it''s okay. I can walk by myself." The person sitting in the living room heard the words and turned his head. Emma realized that the person sitting on the sofa was not Sean at all, but Joey. Joey got up, took Emma from Flora, and helped her walk into the living room. On the coffee table in front of the sofa was piled up with medicine that Joey had brought from the hospital. Emma nced down, then turned to look out of the French window. Chapter 29 Are You Insane? Chapter 29 Are You Insane? The two cars parked there were gone, but there was an extra dark red Cayenne. "How do you know that I am here?" Emma retracted her gaze and asked Joey. Joey didn''t want to talk with her. He just threw the phone in front of her, and said, "Didn''t you send me the address and ask me toe over? I really owed you in my previous life, so I have to serve you like a nanny this life." Emma ignored Joey''s attitude. She knew it must be Sean who had done it. The cold coffee was brought down by Flora. She served a te of fruit. Joey didn''t want to eat the fruit. Watching Flora leave the living room, he held Emma''s hand and was about to leave. Emma looked at him with a puzzled look, "What are you doing?" "Are you insane? Stay here and wait for him?" Joey''s face didn''t look good. His tone was also impatient. Emma didn''t mean to leave. She held the sofa cushion with one hand and moved back, "Then where shall I go?" Seeing Emma withdraw her hand, Joey frowned, "Anywhere, as long as it''s not here. I also have an empty house. Isn''t it just spending money to find a nanny? You can go to my house and let my mother take care of you... " Knowing that Joey was angry now, Emma didn''t get serious with him, but just whispered, "I''m not going..." This time, Joey waspletely irritated. He red at Emma, and sternly wanted to take her away. Emma''s cell phone rang on the coffee table. The two of them who were pulling each other finally stopped. The call came from Emma''s grandfather. Joey didn''t dare to make any sound. Emma made a "hush" gesture to Joey, and then answered the phone with her back to him. The voice came from the phone, "Emma, where are you?" Hearing the concern of grandfather on the phone, Emma stuttered, "I, I''m at my paternal grandpa''s house..." Emma''s grandfather on the other end of the phone sighed softly. His tone was obviously a little lost, but he deliberately asked, "Then how is your grandpa?" "Very good, he also asked me to say hello to you." Emma lied without blushing. Joey next to her looked at her contemptuously. Emma''s grandfather was silent for a while, pretending to be rxed, "Oh, you can spend time with your grandpa. You can stay there during the New Year, after all, there are so many people..." Emma didn''t hear the jealous in her grandfather''s tone. She replied with a heartless smile, "Okay..." Hearing that, her grandfather hung up the phone directly. Emma stared at the phone that was suddenly hung up confusedly. "The person who is getting older is really like a child. I really don¡¯t know what he is thinking about." Emma said to herself. Joey was still sitting on the sofa, staring at her. Nunu poked his head out of a room on the second floor. Seeing Emma was downstairs, he ran downstairs happily. In the living room, Emma and Joey didn''t speak. Only Nunu jumped up and down. Sometimes, he used his head to rub Emma. Sometimes, he enthusiastically rushed to Joey. Finally, Joey got up and pulled the zipper of the coat over his neck, "I will ask you thest time, are you leaving here with me?" Emma didn''t speak, nor looked up. Joey turned and left. But when he walked to the door, he turned back. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Emma, you are so stupid! I know men better than you! If you don''t believe me, just wait and see. He won''t have any loss. He will have sex with you sooner orter. After he gets your body, he will throw you aside..." Emma looked at him calmly. She didn''t believe what Joey said. Even if Sean was such a person, this kind of thing would not happen to her. Nunu wanted to y with Joey, but was kicked away by Joey who was furious. Nunu groaned painfully and backed away dingy. Joey also knew that he kicked Nunu hard. He couldn''t help but look at Nunu. Emma finally got angry. She got up from the sofa, "Joey! Are you insane? Why do you care about me? Who are you?" Joey looked at her with a look of astonishment. His face turned pale from gloomy just now. The looks in his eyes wereplicated. But even so, Emma still saw his disappointment in herself. Although she was stubborn, she began to regret it. At the moment, she still didn''t want to admit her mistake. Joey didn''t say anything and just went out. He mmed the door closed. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Emma stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the window, Joey''s dark red Cayenne galloped away. She turned her head and looked at Nunu squatting not far away, feeling sad. At the door of Joey''s house, a familiar figure was waiting there. Joey kicked the elerator. The car rushed past Kate. Kate retreated a few steps in fright, then turned to look at Joey''s car. Joey stepped on the brake, pushed the car door angrily and got out of the car. Joey turned a blind eye to Kate who appeared at his home. He strode past her with holding the car key in his hand. "Joey..." Kate''s voice sounded behind him. Joey walked a few steps forward again with anger, but finally turned around. Joey stopped. Kate finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Joey didn''t move, she walked over a few steps and stood still in front of him. Joey was obviously impatient. He didn''t even bother to look at her straightly, and said directly, "What is it for me? If you have something, just say it. I''m still sleepy. I have no spare time to spend with you here." Kate''s face turned pale. But she said with a gentle and soft tone as before, "Joey, I think you have misunderstood me..." Joey sneered and stared at her, "Misunderstanding? What have I misunderstood you?" Kate bit her lip, "I know that Emma can''t listen to me no matter what I say now. I also know that you will always be on her side, but..." "Stop it. I only know there is a boundary between friends. You know that Ivan and Emma had already been together. But you still took him away. Don¡¯t tell me that I have any misunderstandings to you. Ivan has already chosen to be with you. What''s the point of saying these? But you¡¯re right. No matter what happens, no matter what it''s right or false, I will be on Emma''s side!" Kate lowered her head and bit her lip. She showed the aggrieved face again. Chapter 30 Ungrateful Chapter 30 Ungrateful But Joey didn''t buy it. He was staring at Kate''s face, and continued, ¡°Kate, as a human being, don¡¯t be too ungrateful. Otherwise, you will get retribution! If Emma hadn''t helped you and avenged you, she wouldn''t be sent to the UK by her father forcedly. In these years in the UK, she has not lived as smoothly as you think. For Ivan, she did 10,000 times better than you. But it is a pity that Ivan is blind! " "But, I also love Ivan... Joey, I know I feel sorry for Emma. She may not forgive me in this life, but I really can''t help it. You know what it''s like to love someone? I miss him day and night. I¡¯m suffering. Do you understand the feeling of watching him being around with others?" Joey stared at her with contempt, "I only know that if I love someone and even if she doesn''t love me, I won''t force it. I would rather watch her happy every day!" Kate smiled with a sarcasm. She was staring at Joey whose face changed slightly, and sneered, "I know you love Emma..." Joey turned away, "It''s none of your business! At least I don''t live like you." Kate nodded slowly, with a look of sarcasm, andughed at herself, "Yes, in your eyes, no matter what I do, I can''tpare with Emma. Why do I have to force it? But if you really want her to live well, it''s better to think about it for her..." Joey retracted his gaze and re-examined her, "What do you want to say?" Kate locked her eyes tightly on his face and said word by word, "If I were you, I would persuade her to go back to the UK as soon as possible. If she stays in the country, even if she doesn''t make herself heartbroken for Ivan, she will be ruined by other men. I guess you should know who this man is..." Joey stared at Kate in front of him, without speaking for a long time. Until the nanny came out, smiled at the two people at the door, and asked, "Sir, I have seen your car come in a long time ago. Why don''t you go in and talk to Miss Booth?" Kate smiled and greeted Lucia, the nanny. Then she said, "I just happened to be passing by. Joey said that he wanted to have a rest, so I won''t go in to bother you guys." The nanny liked this approachable girl from the bottom of her heart. She nodded with a smile. Then she turned her head and said to Joey, "Sir, Ma''am asked me to urge you to go in quickly. She said you wear too little clothes, and was afraid you would have a cold. " Kate said softly after hearing the words, "Go in. I have finished what I have to say. I will bring Ivan over to apologize to you and Emma the other day." "No need. You¡¯d better stay away from us." After speaking, he turned around and walked inside. Lucia, the nanny, smiled and nodded at Kate. Then she turned around and went in. At the door, Joey lowered his head and changed his shoes. Lucia, the nanny, stood behind him and said with a smile, "Miss Booth is pretty and lucky. I met her boyfriend once. The boy is not only good- looking, but also young. He has arge scale listedpany. It is said that he has been rated as the youngest entrepreneur. I think they are a good match..." Joey turned his head and red at Lucia. Lucia shut up immediately, not knowing where she was wrong. After a while, Joeyzily changed the cotton slipper, threw the car key on the shoe cab, put one hand into the trouser pocket, and said, "Yes. They are really a good match. A bitch and a bastard!" Since sending Emma to CJ Vi, Sean had never returned here. Emma wore Sean''srge-sized household sweater and was lying on the sofa, watching Florbing Nunu''s hairs. "Speaking of Nunu, he really listens to Mr. Knight. On the day he was sent here, he refused to let me bathe him at all. He even tried to fight with me for more than an hour. But when Mr. Knight hugged him into the bathroom, he was obedient. It''s just that Mr. Knight has been taken care of by others since childhood. It was the first time I saw him to take care of a dog." Emma sat up from the sofa, "Then how often does hee back here?" "Huh?" Flora looked back at her with a look of surprise, "He usually doesn''t live here. He is busy at work. Except for asional socializing around here, he will be here once or twice. Then he won¡¯te here..." Hearing this, Emma felt a little disappointed. However, she attributed this disappointment to herself as boring. After quarreling with Joey, he would not want to talk with her for a while. Except for him, Emma had few friends in the country. She wanted to go out to get some air, but she didn''t know who to call. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Flora rubbed thebed dog hair into a ball, and helped Nunu to trim his nails, "I guess he won''t have time toe here during this period..." "Why?" Emma asked puzzledly. Flora said with a smile, "Busy preparing for the wedding..." "He has a girlfriend?!" Flora was stunned by Emma''s fuss. Flora raised her head and smiled softly, "Yes, he has a girlfriend. Besides, they are still childhood sweethearts and have grown up together. They have deep feelings... Ay? Are you not his rtive? Why don¡¯t you even know this?" His rtive? ! Hearing what Flora said, Emma didn''t know why she was so angry. Before she started to lose her temper, Flora held Nunu up and said, "At the beginning, when Mr. Knight brought you back, it really scared me. I thought you were his mistress. But when I asked himter, he said that you are a niece of his distant rtive. You also came to attend his wedding, right?" Emma gaped. She didn''t know how to answer. Nunu ran to the door of the living room and scratched the door with its ws. The weather outside was good. He wanted to run out. In the end, Flora couldn''t bear Nunu''s begging. She turned her head back and said to Emma, ¡°Miss Powell, you rest for a while, I¡¯ll walk him out, and buy some food by the way. If you have something, just call me. I won¡¯t leave too far away..." Flora said something again. Emma probably didn''t hear it anymore. The word childhood sweetheart echoed in her mind. They had a deep feeling. But what did this have to do with her? Flora was out. Emma irritably changed the channels on the TV so many times. Finally, she couldn''t help but picked up the phone and edited a text message to Sean. Chapter 31 SMS Chapter 31 SMS ¡°Are youing back tonight?¡± After thinking about it, she felt that this tone was like that she had been abandoned by him, which was not suitable, so she deleted and edited another one. ¡°Are you busy?¡± Before sending it out, she didn''t forget to add her name, Emma. Putting down the phone, Emma was a little nervous. She didn¡¯t know whether she was worried that he would not reply to her or worried that he didn''t see it? She was not sure about it herself. Soon, a text message came. Emma grabbed the phone from the coffee table. It was indeed Sean''s text message. The content of the text message was only two simple words, ¡°What¡¯s matter?¡± Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then, she got into trouble again. She wanted to ask him if he was really going to get married or if he was really busy with the wedding and didn¡¯t have time to worry about her. But after editing the content several times, she still felt that it was inappropriate. So she was suddenly upset and irritated. Finally, without even thinking about it, she edited a text message and sent it out. The content was, ¡°I can¡¯t send text messages to you if I have no matters, Uncle?¡± She deliberately added the word-uncle, with a bit of resentment. She med him for telling Flora that she was his distant rtive. But after sending it, she regretted it. Who was she to Sean? She had no rights to question him, right? Why was she angry? Whether he got married or not had anything with her? Why did she have to go around him? Emma felt soplicated. She picked up the phone and then put down the phone again. After she picked up and put down the phone so many times, five minutes passed. There was no message coming in. After half an hour passed, there was still no message. Sure enough, Sean didn''t reply to her... Sean had a meeting until 4:30 in the afternoon. Finally, he walked out of the meeting room. His assistant, Pauline, dressed in an OL suit. She quickly followed his footsteps and whispered beside him on his next itinerary and schedule. Sean took his cell phone out and had a look. When he saw the word Uncle, he seemed to be smiling. Pauline saw it, and stopped reporting. She asked, "Mr. Knight, do you have other arrangements?" Sean put away his mobile phone, and looked back at Pauline, "No, go on..." "Okay, the next schedule is 8:20 in the evening. There will be a dinner with the people from Urban Construction Department. At 11 o''clock..." Pauline''s voice disappeared in the elevator. The elevator was moving up quickly. ... Emma slept with her mobile phone. When she woke up, Flora was already in the kitchen and preparing dinner. Nunu also slept on the carpet under the coffee table. The first thing she opened her eyes was to look at the phone. The screen was clean. Sean didn''t reply to her text messages at all. Putting the phone aside, Emma got up from the sofa. Flora just came out of the kitchen and asked with a smile, "Are you awake? I just saw you fall asleep, so I didn''t wake you up. I didn¡¯t know what you would like for dinner, so I just cooked some fresh vegetable noodles." Emma had be ustomed to having a light diet every day after she was discharged from the hospital. Anyway, she had no choice. She went to wash her face and then came back. She sat at the table and pick up the chopsticks. Looking at the noodles without anything else, she finally lost her appetite. Flora also ate the noodles. Emma supported her cheeks, watched Flora eating noodles bit by bit, and asked curiously, "Flora, I can''t eat meat because the doctor doesn''t allow it. Why do you follow me every day to be a vegetarian? Do you not want to eat meat? " Flora smiled. She continued to stir up the noodles in the bowl, and said, "No, I''m used to it. Mr. Knight is a vegetarian. He can''t eat meat. As the time pass by, I don''t want to eat it, either. It''s..." Emma suddenly realized it after she heard Flora''s words. She remembered that thest time when she was drunk at Sean''s house, she did hear that he said that he did not eat meat. It was just that she didn''t believe it all at the time. She thought that Sean disliked her, so he didn''t want to eat the bacon and sausages on her dinner te. "Then why doesn''t he eat meat? Doesn''t he lose strength if he doesn''t eat meat? Then how does he maintain his physiological functions?" Emma couldn''t help but ask curiously. Flora smiled, "I don''t know the exact reason. But as far as I know, he also ate meat before. He had an operation three years ago. Since then, he never eats meat again. Not only did he not eat, but he would vomit if he smelled too much. I have seen him vomiting when facing a te of raw meat in the kitchen... As for physical function, there is nothing to worry about. He eats fish and seafood. Besides, Mr. Knight is very good at exercising. Do you think he is thin?" "..." When Sean came out from the hotel, it was already more than two o''clock in the morning. Pauline was waiting in front of the car. Seeing him and a group of people walking out of the hotel, she hurried forward with his coat. Sean was wearing a ck handmade suit. Standing under the advertising screen next to the hotel, he looked a little pale. Pauline put the coat over his shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Knight, are you okay?" Today Sean did drink a lot. He was still sober, but the other party had already been crushed by him. Looking at Sean like this, Pauline, as his assistant, still felt a little sorry for him. She med the secretary, Calvin, "Mr. Knight''s liver has always been bad. Don''t you guys know to help him drink some?" Calvin felt very wronged, but he didn''t dare to say anything. He didn''t expect that Mr. Knight, who was almost non-drinking, would suddenly drink so much with the president of a newly listedpany. That president also didn¡¯t resist it. Sean didn''t say much. He seemed to smile. But Calvin didn''t feel that Mr. Knight hit off with that person. However, Mr. Knight still drank a cup after a cup, as if he waspeting with that person, until that person waspletely drunk. ... Calvin lowered his head and said to Pauline, "I''m sorry, Pauline. I didn''t take good care of Mr. Knight..." With a gesture, Sean stopped Calvin who hadn''t finished speaking, and said to Pauline, "I''m okay. Drive me back." After speaking, he strode ahead and headed straight for the ck Bentley. Pauline didn''t forget to give Calvin a fierce look. Then she turned around and quickly go up to open the door of the back seat for Sean. ... In the car, Sean leaned on the seat, took off his tie, and threw it on the seat beside him. Pauline, who was on the passenger seat, turned her head and asked, "Would you like to go back to your vi by the sea?" Sean nodded. After a while, he closed his eyes and suddenly said, "Go to CJ Vi..." Pauline said yes and told the driver to turn around. In CJ Vi. Emmay on the bed, tossing around. She couldn''t sleep. She would pick up the phone every few minutes and took a look at it.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Chapter 32 Can’t I Send the Message to You, Uncle? Chapter 32 Can¡¯t I Send the Message to You, Uncle? But in the end, she didn''t receive any text messages. Just like that, until two o''clock in the morning, she still didn''t feel sleepy at all. She drank the hot milk and ate the apples. She also got up and drank a big pot of honey lemon tea. After finally getting to 3 o''clock, the sleepiness just came up a little bit, and then she started to run to the toilet endlessly, because she drank too much water... In the end, she couldn''t stand it anymore. So she fell asleep on the bed holding the phone. ... When Sean came back, Flora woke up. Flora came out of the room in her pajamas. Smelling the whisky on Sean''s breath, she hurried to the kitchen to help make sober tea. Pauline helped Sean, who was slightly drunk, into the sofa, and was about to leave. Before she left, she saw a rubber band for a woman to tie her hair on the coffee table. She got up and looked at the ordinary ck rubber band. If the woman''s stuff appeared in a seaside vi, Pauline was not surprised. After all, Sean''s mother and his fianc¨¦e, Rachel, would go there from time to time. But the stuff appeared here... She couldn''t help but look up to the second floor. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Sure enough, the light in one room was on... After drinking sober tea, Sean got up and walked to the second floor. Pauline had already left. Only Flora quietly cleaned up the tea cup in the living room. Sean put his one hand into his pocket. When he passed by Emma''s door, he didn''t make any stops. After returning to his room, he went directly to the bathroom. He took a shower and then went out with a dark bath towel. When he came out of the bathroom, it was already dawn. When he walked to the window, he bowed his head and lit a cigarette. The white smoke filled in the surrounding air. Sean picked up the phone and looked down at the time. It was at 5:35 a.m. Just when he was about to throw the phone back on the bed, he suddenly remembered something. He opened the keypad lock again. The slender fingers tapped flexibly on the screen. Soon, a text message that had been read came into his eyes. ¡°I can¡¯t send text messages to you if I have no matters, Uncle?¡± He smiled. He didn¡¯t feel any ufortable when he was called uncle by her. He could even imagine her demeanor when sending this text message. She must be a little angry. But who provoked her again? The light at the door was still on. Sean put on his leisure wear, opened the door and walked out. Emma''s door was ajar. It should be left by Nunu when he squeezed in. Standing at the door, Sean didn''t have to work hard but could see the view of the situation inside. Emmay on the big ck-and-white bed, revealing her two beautiful legs. One foot was in the quilt, and the other was outside the bed. She was wearing his thin household sweater. The wide hem just covered her sexy buttocks. The thick seaweed-like hair spread on one side of her shoulders. There was some sweat on her tall bridge of the nose. Her fair face made her lips more beautiful... ¡­ Sean stretched out his hand to close the door, but when his finger touched the doorknob, Emma''s phone happened to slip off the big bed and fell to the ground. He walked in, picked up the phone from the carpet and put it back to her pillow. identally, he touched the phone screen and it turned on. An unsent text message which hadn¡¯t finished edited came into his eyes. It was his name in the sender column. Sean picked up the phone slowly. ¡°You don¡¯t reply to me! Leave me alone here! I hate you, hate you...¡± Putting his eyes on her face, Sean suddenly smiled, as if his heart was being gently brushed by something. This kind of emotion came fast, and also walked fast. It was so fast that he couldn''t even feel it himself. Putting down the phone, he got up to turn off the light. Nunu lying on the carpet felt a slight dissatisfaction with the footsteps. Nunu raised his head and nced at Sean. After a few seconds of slow reaction, he put his head on the ground again and continued to sleep... Early in the morning, Emma was woken up by an oversized butt. Nunu sat on Emma''s chest with his big furry tail swept back and forth on Emma''s face. Emma pushed him down, but he came up again. After so many times, Emma was annoyed. She pressed his head directly on pillow, as if she would make him suffocate. Nunu yelled until he rmed Flora downstairs... Flora couldn''t understand why Emma and Nunu got along with each other with such a way. However, for the safety of Nunu, she still took Nunu out. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask Emma, "Mr. Knight has already gotten up. Will you eat breakfast with him?" Emma, who was angry, directly covered her head with the quilt to express her dissatisfaction. Seeing that Emma didn''t answer, Flora had no choice but to take Nunu downstairs. She did not forget to gently close the door before leaving. When Emma realized what Flora said, it was already five minutester. She abruptly sat up from the bed, scratched her head, and said to herself, "She just said...Sean is back?" After muttering, she lifted the quilt and got up from the bed without dy for a minute. Brush her teeth, wash her face, change the clothes. All the actions were all in one go. When she put her hand on the doorknob, she reacted. Why was she so excited about hising back? ... When Emma went downstairs, Sean was already sitting at the dining table for breakfast. Standing on the stairs, she stopped for a while, squinting at him. Sean wore a smoky gray home pullover with home pants of the same color underneath. He looked down with a newspaper in his right hand, and a coffee cup was in his right hand. After taking a sip of coffee, he put down the newspaper. He just saw Emma standing on the stairs when he looked up. Sean turned and looked at Flora behind him. "Prepare some breakfast..." "Okay." Flora nodded and turned to the kitchen. Emma walked in front of Sean, stammered, "Good, good morning." Sean nced at the time on his wrist and looked up at her, "It''s not early..." Emma blushed. She hadn¡¯t seen him for a few days, but why she became nervous for no reason? Pulling the chair opposite Sean, Emma sat down and looked up at him, only to find that he had already looked away and started to eat breakfast gracefully. Emma felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little weird. But she didn¡¯t know the reason. She found a topic, "You... came backst night?" Sean looked up at her. Suddenly being stared at by Sean, Emma didn''t even know where to put her hand. "Yes, it was almost dawn when I came back." Chapter 33 I Dont Know You Can Eat a Lot Chapter 33 I Don''t Know You Can Eat a Lot Flora came out of the kitchen with a bowl of small wontons. She smiled at Emma and said, "Mr. Knight said you can eat some meat today." Seeing the wontons in Flora''s hands, Emma''s eyes lit up. She almost forgot that Sean was here. Sean picked up the newspaper and looked at Emma who ate so happily, with a smile on his face, "I don''t know that you can eat a lot." Hearing that Sean said this, Emma red at him, "If you can''t eat meat for more than ten days, see what will happen?" After finishing speaking, she took another wonton and put it to his mouth, and said, "Huh? Would you like to try it too? It''s really delicious." While Emma was speaking, she passed the spoon in her hand. Sean nced at the spoon in her hand and turned his head away. Emma rolled her eyes at Sean, "Fine!" "..." In the study, Sean was working with hisptop. His legs were crossed together. The posture was elegant. Theptop was ced on theps. The line of his side face was very nice. Emma wore a light pink cotton slipper and poked her head into the study. She was curious why Sean would stay here today. At the entrance of the study, she grabbed the Flora who had just cleaned up inside, and asked in a low voice, "Will he not go out today?" Flora shook her head, "He didn''t tell me, but he will stay for lunch." Emma was in a good mood instantly. She even felt Nunu, who was chewing on Flora''s slipper, a lot pleasing to the eye. Nunu wanted Flora to y with him. He held Flora''s thigh tightly to prevent her from leaving. Flora dragged him down limping downstairs. Emma ignored them. She leaned on the door frame, and looked into the study. Sean suddenly turned his head. Emma was taken aback. Emma ran away immediately, and closed the door. The phone on the big bed buzzed and vibrated. Emma in slippers walked over. Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, Emma felt very strange. In order to wait for Sean''s messages, she set her mobile phone in a ring tone... But she didn''t have time to think so much. She answered the phone first. The call was made by Winnie, a ssmate of Emma from the university in British. Winnie and Emma had different majors but went to the college in the same year. Among the few foreign students studying abroad, their rtionship was quite good. Winnie was from a rich family. Her father was in the leather business, and her mother ran several hotels. Her life was quitefortable, and she nevercked money. On the phone, Winnie asked with a grin, "Emma, do you and Ivan get back? Tsk-tsk, as long as I think of the way you two are hugging with each other, I feel so jealous." When she mentioned Ivan, Emma felt upset again. Hearing Emma not speaking, Winnie smiled heartlessly, "I''ve told you as long as you are willing to chase him back, he will surely throw himself at you when he sees you. I don¡¯t have to worry about that you two get back together!" At this moment, Emma didn''t want to mention Ivan. She asked, ¡°Winnie, where did your mobile phone numbere from? Why did it show that you are in Shanghai?¡± Winnie on the phone smiled secretly, "Guess it!" Emma was taken aback, "You have returned to the country? Didn¡¯t you say that you didn¡¯te back?" "I feel so bored to stay in the UK alone. It just so happens that my dad also wants me toe back for the New Year... Oh, will it be your birthday in a few days? I will go to L City to give you a surprise." ... Before lunch, Sean was called away by a phone call. Emma hurriedly stopped him before going out. Sean held his coat in his hands. He was wearing a well-tailored suit. He turned his head to look at Emma, "What''s up?" "Nothing serious. Didn''t you say you were going to have lunch here? Flora is ready..." Emma couldn''t find any excuses for a while, so she found a reason casually. Sean calmly retracted his gaze and reached out to turn the doorknob, "I have something else to deal with." Emma''s stubbornness came up again, "Then... I''m too bored by myself. Can I go out and y with friends?" Emma regretted it when she said this. There was no reason for this emotion. She felt that she was a little bit like making troubles unreasonably. Sean looked back at her, and was silent for a moment. Until the phone in his hand rang, he said casually, "That''s your own business. You just live here temporarily. I didn''t restrict your freedom..." Without waiting for Emma''s response, Sean had already answered the phone. With a "bang" sound, Sean had already left. What left in front of Emma was a heavy door panel. Emma didn''t want the freedom, but even more hoped that Sean would not allow her to go out. Sean was somewhat surprised when he received the call from his mother. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. She said on the phone that his eldest brother was back and asked him to take Rachel back and had a family reunion dinner. Sean''s eldest brother was Wilson Knight. Wilson had been living in New Zend all these years. He rarely came back once during the holidays. Sean obeyed his mother''s words and hurried directly from CJ Vi back to Riverside House. However, he did not go to pick up Rachel. ... In the living room, it was so lively. After Sean changed his slippers, he turned around and handed the coat to the nanny. He heard the laughter of Rachel and Charlesing from the living room. He paused. Belle was walking out of the kitchen. "Son, why did youe back sote? Rachel arrived here before you..." Belle red at her second son. Rachel, who was sitting on the sofa, turned her head when she heard the words, then got up from the sofa and walked over, "Ma''am said that the eldest brother has returned from abroad, so let mee here to celebrate. How are things going in yourpany?" Sean took his gaze away from Rachel''s face indifferently, "It''s okay. It''s solved." Rachel nodded and said with a smile, "Well, seeing you are so busy during this time, I also feel sorry for you..." Belle left here silently. They talked with each other. She didn¡¯t want to be the third wheel. The 93-year-old Charles called Rachel to hurry over and to teach him to continue ying games on the iPad. Rachel said okay. She turned around and said to Sean, "Your brother and your father are discussing things in the study. You go here quickly..." "Okay." Sean replied, turned and walked towards the study. ... The study was on the second floor, with the door ajar, leaving a gap. Sean walked over. Before he opened the door, Wilson''s voice came from inside. Chapter 34 You Can’t Get Divorced Chapter 34 You Can¡¯t Get Divorced "Dad, I''m sorry. I have already thought about this..." Charles''s fist hit the table, making a sound. "Don''t tell me this. The matter is still undecided. But you just want to get a divorce. No way! After the New Year is over, get back to New Zend..." After Charles said, Wilson didn''t speak for a long time. Sean turned around. When he was about to leave, he heard the old man shouting inside, "What are you sneakily standing at the door? Come in!" ... It was not umon that Wilson was older than Sean 14 years. The Charles family originally had three children, but the youngest daughtermitted suicide when she was 19 years old. She burnt charcoal in the apartment to kill herself for a man of heartlessness. For the Charles family, the blow was undoubtedly fatal. But even so, both Wilson and Sean made Charles worry. Wilson had been married for many years, but he never had a child. Now, he was nearly 50 years old. Sean was not in a hurry. It seemed that he didn¡¯t want to get married in a short time. Charles was getting older day by day. The neighbors andrades-in-arms who was the same age as him even had great grandchildren, but his two sons didn¡¯t have any children. In the study, Charles vented all the anger on Sean. Sean closed his mouth tightly, but he still didn''t mention the marriage. ... After dinner, Sean stood alone on the balcony and smoked. In the living room, Rachel was tactfully refusing the intention of Belle to let her stay overnight. Belle said to Sean who was at the balcony. Sean didn''t seem to hear her. He stood in front of the French window with his back to the living room. Others didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. Belle wanted to call Sean over, but was stopped by Rachel. Rachel said with a smile, "Ma''am, no need. Sean was so busy recently. He even had no time to rest. I can go back by myself. Just let him rest earlier." Faced with such a sensible and well-behaved future daughter-inw, Belle was very pleased. She nodded, touched Rachel''s head, and said, "Well, I''ll let Bishop drive you back." Rachel smiled and nodded. Before leaving, Rachel went to the balcony to say goodbye to Sean. Sean put out the smoke and got up to walk her out. Outside the gate, Wilson stood alone in the yard, talking on his cell phone, with his head down and his face a little dignified. "I''ll talk about this when I go back... Well, I know..." Wilson''s tone was calm. But he frowned tightly. Sean took Rachel past him.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Brother..." Rachel greeted Wilson softly. Wilson raised his head, smiled and nodded to Rachel. He watched her and Sean go out, then lowered his head to continue talking on the phone. ... After Sean saw Rachel go into the car, he returned to the yard alone. Wilson''s phone call had been finished. He was standing next to a big tree with one hand in his pocket. He was flicking the end of his cigarette on the ground and wiping it out with the tip of his shoe. When he looked up, he saw Seaning back. He gestured to let Seane over. Sean walked up to him a few steps, "Brother." Wilson nodded, and took two cigarettes out of the cigarette case. One was handed to Sean, and the other was kept for himself. Sean took the cigarette, put it into his mouth, and lowered his head to light it. Looking up at his elder brother, he knew that his brother had something to ask him... On Wednesday, Edward came to CJ Vi to change the medicine on Emma''s wrist and ankle for the last time. The two of them didn¡¯t speak during the whole process. Even when they looked at each other, both of them didn¡¯t know what to say. Edward carried the medicine box and went downstairs. Emma grimaced and stuck her tongue out behind him. This scene was seen by Sean. In the living room, Edward drank a cup of coffee and nced up to the second floor, "This little girl! She rolled her eyes at me. I didn''t offend her." Sean raised his head to nce at him, then retracted his gaze, without saying a word. Flora had just walked back from the outside with Nunu. When she passed the living room, she asked by the way, "Mr. Knight, Miss Powell said that she wanted to eat braised shrimp for dinner. I have to ask you can she eat it?" "No oil. You can boil it..." Sean said with a calm expression on his face. Edward, who was sitting aside, finally couldn''t stand it anymore. He got up, picked up the car key, and walked to the door. Before leaving, he didn¡¯t forget to look back, ¡°It¡¯s okay to have fun with her. However, I advise you not to let her go too far. If Rachel knows it, it will be not good for you..." "..." At the dinner table, Emma was in a good mood. Sean came back here at night these days. Although they didn''t talk too much, as long as he stayed in this house, Emma felt at ease. Emma put a whole te of boiled shrimp in front of her. Her hands were covered with shrimp oil. A few big shrimps were eaten, she was very satisfied. She picked thergest one from the te, peeled off the shell of the shrimp neatly, and put it to Sean''s mouth, "Eat one? It''s very fresh..." Sean paused, and looked down at her hand. Emma''s hands were beautiful, with fair skin and slender fingers. The orange-red shrimp oil stained her fingertips. The pink shrimp was held by her. It looked a little bit more yful. Thinking that Sean would be disgusted her, Emma withdrew her hand dejectedly. Just when she was about to throw the shrimp into her mouth, Sean grabbed her wrist. Emma raised her head with a look of astonishment. The next moment, the shrimp between her thumb and index finger was already bitten into his mouth by Sean. Emma''s movements were stiff. She blinked her eyes. She forgot to withdraw her hand, so she just held it in the air so stupidly. After a while, Sean nced at her who was stiff, and said coldly, "You have eaten a lot today..." After finishing speaking, he turned around and ordered Flora to remove the te of shrimp in front of Emma... Emma''s mouth was wide open. She was so sad. No words could describe her depressed mood at this time. On Monday. Emma sat cross-legged on the big bed and had a meeting with Nunu. Nunu''s head was lying on Emma''s legs. His tongue drooped outside, panting heavily. Emma stared at Nunu earnestly, and grabbed his ears, "Hey, do you think Joey is really angry with me this time? He hasn¡¯t called me for a few days... Should I go to apologize to him?" Nunu raised his head and nced at her with a dull expression on his face. Chapter 35 Im Talking to You Chapter 35 I''m Talking to You Emma pped Nunu on the back of its head, "I''m talking to you! Give me some reactions, OK?" "..." Emma had been standing at the gate of Joey''s house for a while with Nunu. She wasn''t sure what would happen when she apologized to Joey. Maybe he would pull a long face and didn¡¯t talk to her. Emma was still hesitating. Just when she was thinking about whether she pressed the doorbell or not, a ck Mercedes was driving in behind her. Nadia poked her head out of the car window, "Emma, why are you standing at the door and not going in? What a cold day..." Emma smiled wryly, and pointed at not far away, "Hello Auntie,... I just came out and walked past here..." Nadia walked out of the car, looked at Emma''s flushed face because of the cold wind, and held her little hands, "Howe your hands are so cold? Follow me in and get warm." ... In the living room, Joey was wearing a gray home furnishing hoodie, lying on the sofa with his long legs folded and eyes closed. The remote control was ced on his forehead. As soon as they entered the house, before Emma changed her slippers, Nunu rushed in. Nunu hadn''t seen Joey for a few days. He had already forgotten the hatred for Joey, and rushed to the sofa with great enthusiasm, licking Joey''s face with a sticky tongue. Joey opened his eyes, with a disgusted look. He pushed the head of Nunu away, and suddenly sat up, "Crap, Nunu? Where did youe out?!" Nadia handed her handbag to the nanny on the side, and said to Joey on the sofa, "Joey, Emma is here." Speaking of Emma, Joey couldn''t help but look back towards the door anxiously. However, for a moment when he saw Emma, he turned his head arrogantly. Nadia had already seen such a scene a lot of times. She knew that the two persons had had a fight again. When they were young, Joey and Emma fought almost every three days, and quarreled every two days, which was somon. However, despite this, the two people rarely had grudges. Basically, they would forget it the next day. Then they would hang out again. It was just very rare that Joey didn''t talk to Emma for a few days like this. When Emma decided to go abroad and didn''t tell him in advance, Joey was like this. The other time was a few days ago. Joeyy back on the sofa, stretched his arms, and used the remote control to change TV programs boringly. Nunu also jumped onto the sofa andy down, resting his head on Joey''s stomach, humming comfortably. Emma sat on the sofa on the side, watching Nadia hand over the coat to the nanny, and instructed, "Is there any durian? Go and make some durian crisps for Emma." The nanny left with holding Nadia''s coat. Joey stared straightly at his mother, "Mom, you don''t think about my feelings? That stuff is stinky. But you make the whole house smell. You¡¯re my Mom! Is it possible that Emma calls you Mom?" Nadia turned her head and rolled her eyes at Joey, "She can call me Mom. I have no objection, but it¡¯s just that she has to be my daughter-inw..." Joey waspletely speechless... Nadia went back to the room to change clothes. Except for the sound from the TV in the living room, Emma and Joey looked away. Neither of them took the initiative to speak first. After a while, Emma looked back at Joey who was still lying on the sofa. Joey pretended to be watching TV, but the corner of his eye kept looking at Emma. Emma stretched out her hand and tickled him on the waist. She knew that Joey was afraid of ticklish. Sure enough, Joey moved. He turned his head and pointed the remote control at Emma''s forehead, "Don''t touch me. I¡¯m still angry now. I won¡¯t forgive you no matter what you say today!" Emma squatted on the sofa with a smile on her face, and said, "Joey..." Joey turned over and turned his back to her. Emma tickled him again and said with a smile, "Joey..." "Go over..." Joey waved his long arms and pushed Emma away. Emma didn''t bnce herself. Her right hand was against the ground to support herself. She let out a painful cry, and sat down on the ground. Joey stood up quickly, and dragged Emma''s right wrist to his eyes. His face turned pale, "Does it hurt? Let me see." Seeing Joey''s look, Emma grinned, "I knew you wouldn''t be really angry with me. Look, you still care about me!" Joey''s angry face turned gloomy. He pulled Emma up from the ground and put her into the sofa to sit down, "Okay, okay, I give up. Are you satisfied this time?!" "..." In CJ Vi, Sean hadn''te back for two days. Emma felt she was like an abandoned woman who was thrown here, waiting for Sean toe every day. After returning to her senses, Emma was suddenly taken aback by her own thoughts. How could she have such thoughts? ! For her, Sean was just an elder who was familiar with her grandfather. Being good to her was nothing more than because of her grandfather. What was she thinking about? ! She rushed to the bathroom, washed her face with cold water, and looked up at herself in the mirror. She said to herself over and over again that the person she loved was Ivan, and only Ivan. Sean just gave her a sense of security and dependence when she was most vulnerable. Yes, it was a sense of dependence! She regarded him as a rtive who could protect her. This kind of feeling could make senses. She sighed at the mirror. The door was opened downstairs. Emma was wearing a beige long sweater and opened the door to look at the first floor. Flora came in with Nunu, with a bag of vegetables and a bag of apples in her hand. Flora raised her head and saw Emma standing on the second floor. She smiled, "Are you hungry? Nunu had a good time today. He didn''t want toe back no matter what I said. I..." N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "Will he be back for dinner?" Emma interrupted Flora''s chatter. Flora was stunned, and then shook her head, "I haven''t received any call from Mr. Knight that he would come back for dinner. I guess he won''t be back." Emma''s disappointment was already written on her face but she herself didn''t know it. Flora loosened the cor of Nunu and went into the kitchen. Before she finished washing the apples, she saw Emma walking downstairs in a cotton slipper. Seeing her putting her coat on, Flora asked with a puzzled look, "Miss Powell, are you... going out?" Emma''s face didn''t look good. She slung the handbag behind, "If he doesn''te back to eat, I will go out to eat too!" Chapter 36 Its Disgusting Chapter 36 It''s Disgusting While talking, Emma put on her boots and opened the door. Flora chased out, "But Miss Powell, Mr. Knight doesn''t allow you to eat randomly!" N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Emma ignored Flora, and mmed the door closed. It was just getting dark outside. Emma couldn''t help shivering because of the coldness of winter. The phone in her handbag buzzed. She answered the phone while reaching out to hail a taxi. The call was from Winnie. She asked, "Emma, guess where I am now?" ... When Emma arrived at Mingdu International Club, Winnie had already had fun in arge private room. Sitting around a few young guys were trying to amuse her. Anyone who knew Winnie well knew that she nevercked money. Besides, she spent money like water. Seeing Emmaing, she got up from the sofa, exaggeratedly stepped forward and hugged Emma, then nced behind her, "Why are you alone? Where is Ivan? Why didn''t hee?" Emma threw the handbag on the sofa, looked at the few guys around her, and then she frowned directly. Winnie was a little surprised, "Why do you look at me with that look?" Emma let those guys go out. Then she said casually, "It''s disgusting. They are too young." Winnie sat down with her arms around Emma''s shoulders, "What''s the matter? You changed a lot. Didn''t you like this type the most before?" Emma turned her head to look at Winnie, "Did I change a lot?" Winnie shrugged and didn''t answer her. ... Emma told Winnie about the stuff about Ivan. Emma was in a bad mood. Winnie toasted to her, so Emma couldn''t help it but have a few drinks,pletely forgetting that she hadn''t healed. Emma was flushed. The temperature in the private room was a bit high. She became excited. She was a little drunk. When she was thinking of how Ivan had been to her before, she felt so sad, crying andughing emotionally for a while. Winnie was still sober. In order to prevent Emma from being overly sad because of the broken up, she had a trick. She said to Emma as if she had a lot experiences, "The way to forget a person quickly is to get involved in another rtionship quickly. This trick has been tried and tested." Emma raised her head and stared at Winnie, "What should I do?" Winnie grabbed the phone Emma had put on the coffee table, turned on the WIFI, downloaded a lot of dating apps, and then she registered a lot of ounts. Besides, she directly set the photo as the Emma''s selfie. Emma looked at the unreliable Winnie nkly, and asked, "What are you doing?" "Make an appointment! Ask a handsome guy out, and then have OSN with him. If he is not bad, just continue dating with him. We are not ignorant young girls. This most direct method has the highest sess rate. Try it!" Before Emmapletely understood Winnie''s words, Winnie had already added a lots of strangers and wrote in the application column, ¡°Lonely little wild cat! So hot! Do you want to try it?¡± ... In the VIP room, Edward, Nelson, Harper, and Sean, these four best friends were together. Among them, Harper was rtively older and was the only person among the four who was married and had two children. Sean didn''t often show his real emotions to others. Nelson was not a talkative person. Only Edward was always talking. Edward''s families were all doctors for generations. His father had now be the dean of the military hospital. Picked up the wine ss and clinking it against Sean''s and Harper''s, Edward tutted twice, "Sean, what''s matter with you during this time?" Sean raised his head, "What''s wrong?" Edward smirked. He winked at Harper, "Is your kidney bad?" Hearing what Edward said, Harperughed. Squinting at Sean, he jokingly said, "You are going to get married. You will have a lot of time in the future. Why are you so in hurry?" Hearing this, several peopleughed. But Sean did notugh. He said expressionlessly, "No hurry." Edward turned around and sat on the coffee table. Then he said to Harper, "Harper, you don''t know Sean is having a great time with a girl recently. Not only is that girl beautiful, but she also has a good body shape. So hot!" Sean''s face sank. He stared at Edward, "Don''t talk nonsense. We are not the kind of rtionship you thought." Edward smiled, "What kind of rtionship?" Sean didn''t want to talk nonsense with him. He just picked up the cigarette case, "I''m going out to get some air." Along with Edward''s smirk, Sean left the private room. The heavy private room door blocked everyone''s sight. Nelson, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "Sean doesn''t look good. What happened?" Edward poured himself a ss of wine, picked it up and shook it in front of his eyes, "I guess, he must fall in love with that girl. But his family is urging him to get married. Can he not be irritable?" Nelson turned his head and nced in the direction of the door, asking doubtingly, "Is it true?" When Nelson said this, Edward was not happy, "Nelson, what do you mean? When did I lie to you guys? That little girl has been in CJ Vi for at least half a month. I have been there twice. Do you think it is true or not?" Nelson was speechless. Edward drank the wine in the ss and ttened his mouth, "However, I have to say that little girl is really awesome. She is so hot, so pretty! We can''t me Sean for not being able to control himself..." Speaking of this, he smirked again and continued, "Or, after Sean gets tired of her, I also want to y with her!" Harper threw the beads in his hand onto Edward''s face, "You''re disgusting!" In the private room, Edward''s lewdughter was full of the room. ... After standing at the door and smoking a cigarette, Sean turned and walked back. The door of the first private room on the third floor was opened from inside. A girl with short hair and fashionable dress came out and passed him. The girl smelled of tobo and alcohol, causing Sean to look sideways. He idently looked in through the crack of the door that was about to close, and a familiar figure shed past... When he was back in the private room, Edward and Harper had a few hot girls around them. They were having fun and ying games. Those girls threw themselves at Edward and Harper, waiting to be taken advantage of. Sean''s cell phone rang. At the same time, Harper and Edward''s cell phones also rang different ringtones. Edward pushed the girl sitting on hisp away, reached out to pick up the phone, and nced at the screen. "Holy crap!" Edward suddenly yelled, which frightened the girl next to him. He withdrew his gaze from the phone and stared at Sean in surprise. Chapter 37 The Lonely Little Wild Cat Chapter 37 The Lonely Little Wild Cat Harper on the side also raised his head from his mobile phone, and shook his head with a smile, "The girls now are really outgoing! Lonely little wild cat! So hot! Haha..." When Harper turned to look at Sean, he saw that Sean''s face had already sank. Before Harper understood what was going on, Sean picked up his coat, turned around and left like a gust of wind, without saying any words. Nelson was confused. He pointed in the direction of the door, "What''s wrong with him? Why did he pull a long face?" Edward passed his mobile phone to Nelson, letting him have a look, "Look, this lonely little wild cat is the girl who is living in CJ Vi..." Everyone was shocked. ... After leaving the clubhouse, Sean made a phone call to CJ Vi. Before Flora could speak, Sean''s angry voice was heard, "Where is Emma?" Flora was stunned, and then said, "Miss Powell is out." "Where did she go?" Sean''s voice was deep. Even if he suppressed his anger, Flora could hear it. "I don¡¯t know. She didn''t tell me when she left..." Before Flora finished speaking, Sean had hung up the phone. When Winnie came back from the bathroom, Emma was tearing a bag of potato chips with her teeth. Emma''s cell phone rang on the coffee table. She nced at it, but didn¡¯t pick it up. She was still struggling with the sturdy bag of potato chips. Winnie passed the phone to Emma. Suddenly, she screamed excitedly, "Someone passed the verification!" "Oh..." Emma didn''t have much interest. Finally, she ate the potato chips as she wished. Winnie tapped lightly on the screen. She quickly edited a piece of content and sent it out. ¡°Height? Body weight? How big is your stuff?¡± The straightforward message was sent. There was a quick response over there, ¡°185/141/18.¡± "Yes!" Winnie made a victory gesture, and quickly responded, ¡°Are you interested in it?¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g The other party also simply replied, ¡°Yes!¡± Winnie took the potato chips in Emma''s hand, "Now, follow me. It''s all done!" Then she dragged Emma to the door. Emma looked at excited Winnie with a confused look, "What?" Winnie pped Emma on the back of her head, "ONS!" "..." Before leaving, Winnie did not forget to encourage Emma, forcing her to drink a ss of wine. Emma was taken to the hotel. At the door of the hotel, Emma felt regretful. She wanted to run. Winnie grabbed her arms, "You''re already here. What are you afraid of?" Emma was really afraid of nothing after being encouraged by Winnie. Besides, she was a little drunk. Ivan cheated her on her back, so why was she so timid? ... At 1407 room of Junhao Hotel, Emma stood in the corridor and swallowed while looking at the house number. Winnie pushed her from behind, "What are you doing? If you don''t go in, I will go in. It''s a rare to encounter such a great guy..." Emma turned around and said, "You haven''t seen him. Howe you know he is great?" Winnie smiled. Covering one side of her mouth with her hand, she said quietly, "Height is 185. That stuff is 18 centimeters. How could be he not great? It''s so exciting..." 18 cm! Emma got goose bumps. Soon, there were footsteps behind them. Emma deliberately turned her face to the side of the wall. She was really afraid of meeting acquaintances. The sound of footsteps approached. The man''s leather shoes appeared in sight. The man stopped in front of her suddenly. Emma was so blushed. On the side was Winnie''s long inhtion sound. Emma''s sleeve corner was firmly tugged by Winnie. It seemed that Winnie let her look up. But before Emma raised her head, the terrifying voice sounded above her head. "Lonely little wild cat?" The ironic tone... Why did this voice sound a bit too familiar? Emma raised her head fiercely. The moment their eyes met, Emma was stunned. Sean stood in front of her, not far or near. His face was gloomy. He wore well-tailored ck suit jacket, with a mobile phone in his hand. He looked so noble, elegant and stylish... Emma couldn''t figure out why he was here. She felt her head was a little dizzy. She couldn''t help but step back, tugging at the corner of Winnie''s clothes. Looking at Sean, she said with a smile, "Um, I... have something else to do... " Winnie didn''t have time to care about Emma''s reaction. Her eyes were all on Sean. She couldn''t move away. Her face was flushed unconsciously. Such a nice guy! Was Emma blind? Emma wanted to leave. But she couldn''t make Winnie who was obsessed with Sean''s face move. So she didn''t bother to care about Winnie. She left Winnie alone, and walked to the elevator with head down. Winnie cleared her throat, and then said with a coquettish face, "Sir, I am..." Before she finished speaking, Sean had already turned around. The next moment, Emma''s wrist was grabbed from behind. Emma screamed and looked back at Sean. Emma had never seen Sean''s face ckened like this. Being dragged away by him, she didn''t even have a chance to resist. At the door of 1407, Sean took out the key card from his pocket. Before Winnie realized what was going on, the door closed in front of her with a "bang" sound. ... In the suite, the door was closed tightly. There was no sound at all. Emma wanted to turn around to open the door, but her wrist was grabbed by Sean. She was pressed directly on the door panel by him. Her breath was full of his breath. There was no light in the room. Emma couldn''t see Sean''s face clearly in the dark. The two looked at each other quietly, but no one spoke. Sean and Emma were very close to each other. He lowered his head. His nose was about to touch the tip of Emma''s nose. Emma took a deep breath, somewhat wondering what Sean wanted to do at this time. She wanted to move, but her waist was tightly wrapped by him. "Really so lonely?" Sean''s low voice sounded in her ears. Emma''s heart beat fast. She didn''t know how to answer Sean''s question. Emma misinterpreted what Sean meant. She nodded, "I''m at home alone... It''s kind of..." Sean suddenly leaned down and kissed her lips, which made Emma forget to breathe. She was so shocked that her mind was nk now. There was a faint smell of tobo in his mouth. Emma''s eyes opened wide. At this time, what Joey had said repeatedly appeared in her mind. He said, "He just wants to have sex with you. He will throw you aside when he gets tired of you. Men at this age are all the same..." Except for Ivan, she had never been kissed so hard by other men. Emma was a little annoyed. Chapter 38 Kiss Chapter 38 Kiss She tried to push Sean away, but it didn''t work. Sean stopped kissing her, but hugged her up and pressed her directly on the big bed. The slight rubbing sound of the quilt and clothing on the bed made Emma nervous. "You look forward to my return every day, isn''t it just for this?" The contempt in Sean''s tone made Emma disgusted. But what he said seemed to be right. Didn''t she wait for him to go back every day? Sean''s slender fingers pinched her jaw tightly. It was a little hurt. Emma wanted to turn her head, but couldn''t escape his restraint. She felt something on her lips again. Sean''s slightly cool lips pressed against her lips again. Her lips and teeth were pried opened. A faint smell of wine filled in. At this moment, Emma realized that Sean had drunk. In the darkness, Sean''s eyes were deep and bright, but it couldn''t see the slightest lust. He kept staring at Emma''s eyes. Some tears were filled in her eyes. "Want to cry? Where was your courage when you asked a man out just now?" Sean''s voice sounded. Emma didn''t know what he was talking about. But she knew to re at him, "It''s my own business. but what do you mean now? You¡¯re still my elder!" Sean''s actions paused. Emma pushed him away and sat up on the big bed. The door was knocked from the outside. Winnie realized that something was going wrong, and her voice also sounded outside the door, "Emma? Are you okay?" Without Emma''s response, the knock on the door outside became even heavier... The shame in Emma''s eyes was seen by Sean. He didn¡¯t know why his mood was suddenly bad. An indescribable sense of frustration rose from the bottom of his heart. Opening the door of the suite, Emma rushed out. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Regardless of the surprised look of Winnie behind her, she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible. ... Emma''s coat was still in the hotel. The wind was blowing outside and went through Emma''s knitted sweater. It was biting cold. At the hotel''s gate, Emma shivered and stopped a taxi. The door of the car was just opened by her, but it was closed again by a hand suddenly stretched out behind her. The driver turned around, "Are you still going to take a taxi?" "No, thank you!" Sean''s voice sounded from behind her. Emma turned around... She wanted to cry. She smashed the bag in her hand on Sean, tears falling on the back of her hand, "You just came to see me embarrassed today, right? You know it is me, but you came to the appointment on purpose..." Sean did not speak, but hugged her in his arms and walked towards his car. ... Along the way, the car inside was unusually quiet. Sean was expressionless. He silently smoked three cigarettes in a row. Emma leaned her head against the car window and said nothing. The scenery outside the window was rapidly retreating. Emma''s mind was already in a mess. In her mind, it was all Sean''s calm face when he kissed her. His eyes were too cold, which made her feel ufortable. If he really only wanted to scare her, it could say that he did it. But why was there some loss in her heart besides anger? After a while, Sean put out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray at hand, without looking at her. He was staring at the road ahead without squinting, "Since you¡¯re afraid, don''t do this stupid thing again." Hearing the irony in his tone, Emma simply turned her face away and didn''t want to talk with him. They were back to CJ Vi. Emma mmed the door of the room closed in front of Sean. Sean stood at the door for a while. But he was still expressionless. He turned around and returned to the room. ... Emma hardly slept all night. She sat on the bed alone, thinking about what happened in the hotel. Sean''s kiss was still clearly printed in her mind. He was different from Ivan. Ivan liked to open his eyes when kissing. His movements were gentle and delicate, and his eyes were affectionate. She always indulged in it. But Sean was just the opposite. He was not gentle, and his eyes were full of warnings. Thinking of this, Emma was a little annoyed... ... In the morning, Emma woke up very early. When Flora saw Emmaing out of the room with a small suitcase, she couldn''t help asking in surprise, "Miss Powell, where are you going?" Emma didn''t answer. She walked past Flora, dragging the suitcase down the stairs. Sean, who was sitting in the dining room and having breakfast, raised his head when he heard the sound. Sean looked a bit tired. He didn¡¯t change the dark blue nightgown. The food on the te had not been eaten. But there was not much coffee left. A cigarette was still in his hand. Behind the bluish white smoke, others couldn''t see what expression on his face was at the moment. Emma pretended not to see Sean''s gaze and deliberately made some noise. Flora chased down the stairs to stop her, "Miss Powell, Mr. Knight said that you only know him in L City. Where are you going if you leave here? Didn''t youe to the wedding? But Mr. Knight''s wedding hasn''t been done yet. Why are you leaving?" "What does it have to do with me whether he is going to hold the wedding or not? Flora, don''t stop me." With that said, Emma dragged the suitcase and walked to the door. Flora said to Emma a few more times. Then Flora knew she couldn''t stop Emma, so she turned to ask Sean for help. Today, Sean was different from usual. He saw all these indifferently. He got up, and put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the ashtray. Seeing Sean standing up, Flora finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that Sean was going to stop Emma, but she never thought that he actually said, "Don''t stop her. Let her go..." Flora was shocked. Even Emma didn''t react for a while and froze in ce. Flora wanted to persuade again, but Sean had already stepped at the stairs without turning back. Before going up the stairs, he turned around. His gaze fell on Emma''s face, but he said to Flora, "She is indeed not suitable to live here anymore..." After speaking, he strode up the stairs and up to the second floor. Emma bit her lip and didn''t move for a long time. Seeing Sean just throwing her away like throwing a burden, her eyes turned red... ... Leaving CJ Vi, Emma stood at the intersection with her suitcase alone, not knowing where to go for a while. Her small face was flushed,pletely because of anger. She lifted the suitcase. It was so light. There were a few clothes inside. She just pretended to leave, but she didn''t expect to be really kicked out by him. Turning her head angrily, she red at the vi, "Fine! I¡¯ll nevere back. I don''t want to see you long face! Who do you think you are!!" Chapter 39 It Will Be Okay If He Is Young Chapter 39 It Will Be Okay If He Is Young Having said that, Emma was still faintly lost... Rachel drove the car, feeling restless along the way. The words of Harper''s wife, Marvel, echoed in her ears over and over again. She said, "It will be okay if he is young. Once he is over 30 years old, you have to keep an eye on him. There are so many young girls who want to hook up with him... Sean¡­" Rachel understood what Marvel meant. She responded with a smile but didn''t say anything. Early in the morning, she called the seaside vi. But the butler over there said that Sean didn''t live there at all during this time. Rachel was a little worried. Beforeing to CJ Vi, she didn''t tell Sean in advance. The cell phone ced on the passenger seat was buzzing and vibrating. Rachel was a little annoyed, but when she picked up the phone, her voice returned to her usual gentleness. "Hey, Ma¡¯am..." Silvia, Sean¡¯s mother called and wanted Rachel to apany her to buy some jewellery. Rachel tactfully refused, "Sorry, I don''t feel well. I''m on my way to the hospital..." Silvia asked with concern, "Is it serious? At which hospital. I will go to see you..." Rachel hurriedly said, "It''s not serious. Just a small cold. It''s not a big deal. When Ie back from the hospital, I will go to see you?" "No need. If you feel sick, just take a good rest. Does Sean know it?" Silvia asked. Rachel''s face sank, "He doesn''t know yet..." "What? You can¡¯t go to the hospital alone. I will call him and ask him to apany you." Silvia was about to hang up after she finished speaking. Then, Rachel hurriedly said, "No need! I''d better call him by myself..." Hearing what Rachel said, Silvia finally relieved, "Okay. Anyway, you can''t go to the hospital alone, understand?" "I got it..." Putting down the phone, Rachel felt a little warm. Silvia had treated her as good as ever for so many years. If Sean could be so caring for her, it would not be... Thinking of this, Rachel''s heart sank again. She had been behind Sean since she was a child. She liked him, admired him, and was willing to follow him all the time. But Sean''s feelings for her were still faint. Before they became boyfriend and girlfriend, at least he could still be like her brother, thinking about everything for her. But since she became his girlfriend, he had changed. Apart from the usual caring, they were always in silence. They were far less affectionate than other couples who hugged with each other all day long and looked so sweet. Rachel''s mother onceforted her in this way, "The rtionship between childhood sweethearts will be like this. After you get married and have children, the rtionship will grow stronger day by day. Look, aren''t your uncle and your aunt like this?" Indeed, as her mother said, her younger uncle and aunt grew up together. Now they loved each other so much and they knew each other what was thinking. How could otherspare with this tacit understanding? ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Thinking of this, Rachel felt morefortable. In front of CJ Vi, Rachel pulled over the car. After an ideological struggle, she decided to call Sean first. For nothing else, she would rather believe that everything Marvel said was a misunderstanding than that Sean really cheated her. This was a kind of respect. The respect for Sean was also for herself. Thinking of this, Rachel picked up the phone. However, before she could find out his phone number, her phone powered off. Rachel rummaged through the storagepartment, but there was no charger, so she had to give up. Looking out through the car window, a girl in a beige coat was standing not far away, talking to her mobile phone in her hand. Pushing open the car door, Rachel got out of the car and stood in front of the car, looking at the girl''s profile. The girl was so beautiful that it would make others look impressive. Her long brown hair was blown by the wind. Her small face was a little pale by the wind. Her facial features were exquisite. Her figure was well-proportioned. Besides, her hand which was holding the mobile phone was white and slender. When she ced the phone near the ear, the natural curvature of the fingers was also perfect. Rachel walked over and stood gracefully in front of her. Emma just finished the call and couldn''t help raising her head curiously to look at Rachel. Rachel smiled calmly, pointed to the phone in her hand, and asked, "May I borrow your phone for a while? My phone just runs out of power..." Emma had seen a lot temperamental beauties in this life. But there were few who would make her feel comfortable. Rachel''s self-confidence and grace were far beyond that of Emma''s stepmother. Emma didn''t know why she had a good impression on Rachel, even though it was the first time she saw Rachel. Emma generously handed the phone directly over, and smiled, "Here you are! You are wee." Rachel smiled and picked up the phone. Her eyes fell on the suitcase next to Emma. Seeing Rachel staring at her suitcase, Emma was more embarrassed, as if the fact that she had been driven out was seen through by Rachel at a nce. In order to conceal this embarrassment, Emma lied deliberately, "I found a job as a tutor nearby but I was lost..." Rachel nodded with smile, then lowered her head to open the screen lock of the phone. She remembered Sean''s number. But just when she put into two numbers, she cleared them again. Then she dialed the phone to thendline. "Hello?" It was Flora who answered the phone. "Hello, it''s me..." Rachel said to the phone. Flora on the other end of the phone was stunned for a few seconds, and quickly said politely, "Miss Hill, I''ll go upstairs to let Mr. Knight answer the phone." Rachel said okay softly to the phone. Sure enough, Sean was really here. A few minutester, Flora''s voice rang in the receiver again, "Sorry, Miss Hill, Mr. Knight is taking a bath. When he finishes it, I will tell him to call you back?" "No, I''m at the door, just passing by here. Since he is here, I want to go in and see him. It''s okay. You go ahead with your business..." "Okay, I''ll go to open the door for you now." Flora on the other end of the phone responded. Rachel hung up the phone and returned the phone to Emma, "Thank you." Emma didn''t even look at the phone. She held the phone and waved her hand, "Never mind!" Chapter 40 Miss Hill Is Here Chapter 40 Miss Hill Is Here Rachel smiled, turned and walked towards the vi. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. An empty taxi was passing by in the distance. Emma stretched her arm to hail the taxi. Seeing the taxi stopped, she ran to the taxi with the small suitcase... ... In CJ Vi. As soon as Sean put on his clothes, Flora had alreadye and knocked on the door. "What''s the matter?" Sean asked while looking at himself in the mirror whose hair had not yet dried. "Mr. Knight, Miss Hill is here. She is waiting for you in the living room." Sean paused. Then his actions returned to normal. He said calmly, "I got it." Flora''s footsteps downstairs sounded outside the door. ... In the living room on the first floor, Rachel was taking the coffee that Flora had brought to her, and thanked Flora. Looking up, she saw Sean walking down from the second floor. She put the coffee in her hand on the coffee table aside and stood up. "Sean." Rachel called his name gently. Sean was wearing his tie around his neck and nodded at her, asking, "Why are you here?" Rachel smiled and walked to him, stretched out a hand to help him wear the tie, and said, "I just passed by here, so I wanted to try my luck. I didn''t expect you to be here. " Sean nodded, turned around and said to the Flora who was aside, "I have a party at noon. I won''t eat lunch here, so you don''t have to make my lunch." Flora responded and said to Rachel on the side, "Miss Hill, have a seat. I''ll go to prepare some fruit for you." Rachel smiled and nodded to Flora. She held Sean''s hand, and sat down on the sofa together. Without saying a few words, Sean''s cell phone rang. It was about work. Sean got up, lit a cigarette, and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to answer the phone. Rachel sat alone. Seeing that Sean couldn''t finish talking on the phone for a while, she got up and walked towards the second floor. Sean was talking to Pauline, then he suddenly stopped, focusing on Rachel. Pauline on the other end of the phone asked, "Mr. Knight, what''s the matter with you?" Sean retracted his gaze, turned his head, smoked slowly, and said calmly, "Nothing..." ... On the second floor, in Sean''s bedroom. Rachel sat on the bed and stretched out her hand to gently touch the bed sheet Sean had slept on. At the door, Flora walked in with a smile, "Miss Hill, I just prepare some fruit. Would you like to taste it? The durian just delivered this morning is very fresh." Rachel raised her head to look at Flora, and refused with a smile, "Flora, I don''t eat durian." Flora was stunned. Then she said apologetically, "I''m sorry. I forgot to ask you in advance." "It does not matter¡­¡­" After Rachel finished speaking, she got up from the bed, walked to the door and stopped, nced at the opposite room, and asked, "Is that room upied? I just heard a voiceing from it." Flora looked back, nced at the guest room where Emma had stayed, and smiled, "It''s a dog." Then Flora went to the guest room and pulled Nunu who was gnawing on the bedside table out of the room. Rachel knew Nunu. She had seen it twice in the Charles¡¯ House. This dog had never been clingy to others, and he didn''t respond to strangers, except for being overly enthusiastic towards Sean. Thinking that Sean had lived here these days, it was not surprising that Nunu was also here. Rachel felt relieved. It seemed that Marvel''s words were notpletely true. It was just a misunderstanding. After Sean finished the phone calls, he went to the bedroom. After instructing Flora to take Nunu out, he turned his head to look at Rachel. As soon as Flora walked away, Rachel had already stretched out her hands around his neck. The heel of her shoes was lightly kicked, and then the door closed naturally. Sean turned around and nced at the door behind him. His face was calm. Rachel looked at him affectionately. She kissed his face, "Sean, I miss you so much..." Sean raised his head, grabbed her soft wrist, and stared at her for a while before he said well. Rachel was obviously dissatisfied with his attitude, took the arms that circled his neck off, and hugged him tightly, "I don''t want to wait anymore. We are not young. Please don¡¯t go to work today, okay?" With that said, Rachel''s white hands had dexterously unbuttoned the cor of his shirt and slipped it in. Sean''s body froze. He pressed her hands which were about to continue. He was looking down at her. Being stared at by Sean, Rachel was a little overwhelmed. After all, there was no benefit for a woman to be too active in such matters. But what other ways would she have if she didn''t take the initiative? She could only wait for Sean to take the initiative? After a long time, Sean said, "Stop it. I still have something to do..." Soon, Rachel''s face turned pale. She was rejected by Sean like this. She was so embarrassed. Rachel''s eyes were filled with tears. She was unwilling to be refused like this, "Sean, is your work more important than me?" She had been a sensible person, but today''s situation was destined to have no way back. Sean kept silent and pressed her hands against his chest. After a while, he let go of her hands, looking at her face somewhat helplessly, "Do you want to do it now?" Rachel''s eyes revealed unspeakable surprises. She hugged Sean tightly, "Are you not leaving?" Sean nodded, carrying her up. Rachel was tall and slightly plumppared to Emma. Thinking of Emma, Sean still paused when he held Rachel. Rachel was so shy when she was hugged by Sean. When her head was touching his pillow, it was full of his taste. Taking a deep breath, happiness overflowed from the bottom of her heart. At this moment, she had waited too long for it toe. She was so nervous. Sean half kneeled on the bed, looking down at her. Rachel''s eyes closed were undoubtedly beautiful. The kind of indescribable gentleness made him feel soft. Sean stretched out his hand to put the hair on her face away, but Emma''s face ovepped with Rachel''s face in his mind. When Emma closed her eyes, her eyshes would tremble gracefully, her hair stuck to her face, and she never reached out to pull it away. Her lips were beautiful and they were natural pink and very soft... He forced Emma away from his mind, but the more so, the scenes of Emma entangled with him on the bed in his dreams would appear in front of his eyes more. Thinking of this, Sean suddenly got up and went to the bathroom without looking back. Rachel slowly opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, stared at the direction of the bathroom, and bit her lips tightly. Chapter 41 The Upcoming Wedding Chapter 41 The Uing Wedding ... When Sean came out of the bedroom, he had already changed his clothes. Flora was away. Rachel sat in the living room alone, looking up at Sean walking down from the second floor. Sean was dressed in a decent suit. His coat and jacket were in his arms, "Let''s go. I''ll drive you back." His face was so calm that Rachel thought everything was dreaming just now. She got up from the sofa and looked at his back when he walked to the door to change shoes, "Sean, shouldn''t you exin to me? Am I not good enough? Or do you already fall in love with others?" Sean turned around and looked at Rachel with a pale expression on his face, "You think too much. The wedding date is justing. Why rush for a while?" Before he finished speaking, Rachel hugged him from behind and pressed her face to his back, "Sean, I have been working hard to be what you like for so many years. Promise me not to give up on me, okay?" Sean''s movements were stiff. But after a while, he still patted Rachel''s hand extending from behind, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. The lunch party is very important...¡± Rachel let go of her hands. Sean turned to look at her. In her eyes, there was a bit more disappointment... Knowing that Emma moved out of CJ Vi, Joey was the happiest one. Before Emma returned to the home of Officer Brown, Joey''s dark red Cayenne had already stopped at the door. In the living room, Officer Brown was ying chess with Joey, because Joey wanted to regret the piece which he just put down, the two were arguing. When Emma walked in with the suitcase, the two turned around together. "Are you willing toe back?" Officer Brown said jealously. Emma handed the suitcase to the servant beside her, with a smile on her face. She sat beside Officer Brown, held his arms, and spoiled like a child, "Grandpa, are you still angry? Didn''t you tell me to stay at my grandfather¡¯s home to spend the New Year?" ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "So you take it seriously? Why haven''t you listened to me like that in the past?" Emma was speechless. When she lowered her head, she saw Joey''s hand being secretly stretched out. She patted Joey''s hand and yelled, "Grandpa, look! Joey secretly changed your chess." Hearing this, Officer Brown''s face sank and then pped Joey on the back of his head. "Little bastard, when your grandfather was ying chess with me, he didn''t dare to do it. How dare you!" Joey covered the back of his head with a drooping face, and red at Emma. Emma breathed a sigh of relief. She finally muddled it through. But the next moment, Officer Brown asked again, "Where''s Nunu? Why didn''t hee back with you?" Emma didn''t know how to answer again. ... At night, Emmay in the room tossing and unable to sleep. The phone was next to the pillow. She couldn''t help but take it to have a look every few minutes. She couldn''t tell what she was waiting for. Every time she picked it up, she just nced at the time, flipping through news at will, but she didn¡¯t have the mood to read the content at all. She ate less at dinner. So she was so hungry now. She got up from the bed. On the first floor, Maggie, the nanny, had fallen asleep. Emma stood in front of the refrigerator in the kitchen, looking at the te of braised pork ribs. But she didn¡¯t reach for it. The way Sean warned her appeared in her mind from time to time, which directly affected her appetite. She closed the refrigerator door with a carton of milk in her hand. She bothered to boil it, so she took it directly upstairs. The phone in the room was vibrating repeatedly. Emma walked to the bed with slippers and stopped, looking down at Ivan''s name shing on the screen. She was surprisingly calm. She picked up the phone, but did not answer it. Maybe a few days ago, she still hated Ivan guts. But within a few days, she had no feelings to his name, as if this person had nothing to do with herself from the beginning. Throwing the phone aside, Emma poked the straw in her hand into the milk box, turned her back to the phone, and drank the milk... Before going to bed, another text message entered. Emma raised her head from the pillow and took the phone over. It was a text message from Ivan. ¡°Emma, where are you? I want to see you.¡± Emma stared at the phone for a long time. Finally, she moved her finger and added Ivan''s number to the cklist... When Sean received a call from his elder brother, he just came out of a social gathering. Wilson went to Shanghai temporarily. It happened that a foreign friend came to the country and needed Sean to pick it up. On the phone, Wilson didn''t say anything in detail, only that it was a doctor of medicine tutor his wife knew. Wilson had never seen what it looked like. After asking for the contact information of the other party, Sean took Pauline on the way to the airport. ... On the road, the driver braked suddenly, shocking Pauline sitting in the passenger seat. "Bishop, what''s up?" Pauline asked the driver. Bishop turned his head and nced at Sean, "Sorry, Mr. Knight, a girl suddenly crossed the road just now. The speed is too fast. If I don''t brake hard, I''m afraid something will happen." Sean turned his head and looked out of the car window. Sure enough, a girl holding a ck trolley box was standing trembling by the roadside. The girl was young. Her face was pale with fright. She knew she was almost hit just now. The girl''s face reminded Sean of Emma... Bishop was about to push the car door open, but was stopped by Sean behind him, "Forget it, don''t waste time. Let''s go..." Bishop nodded when he heard the words, and then he restarted the car. ... At the airport, a British woman about 50 years old appeared in front of Sean. After Sean briefly introduced himself, the British female doctor suddenly said, "I know you!" Sean was taken aback for a moment, with a surprised face. "I performed a liver transnt for you three years ago. I am so happy to see you alive... Excuse me, how is thedy who donated the liver?" ... On the weekend, Emma asked Winnie to meet in the cinema. Standing at the ticket booth, Winnie wore a pair of ck leather pants and a short piece of fur on her upper body. Her perfect figure and short hair attracted the attention of many people. When Emma rushed over, she happened to miss the opening time of the movie. The two of them were sitting in the lounge area to the side. Emma was still holding arge bucket of cream popcorn in her arms. Winnie looked at her casually dressed, and curled her lips, "Does Ivan know if you go out like this?" Speaking of Ivan, Emma red at her, grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into her mouth, "I have said it wepletely broke up. Why do you always mention him?" Chapter 42 New Love Chapter 42 New Love "Yeah, if I remember correctly, half a month ago, you were still crying in the UK, right? In a blink of an eye, do you have a new love?" Hearing what Winnie said, Emma''s action of stuffing popcorn into her mouth stopped. She blinked her big eyes, "What new love?" Winnie smiled secretly, leaned over, and asked, "Tell me, are you dating with that great guy who appeared in the hotel that day?" "What are you talking about?" Emma stuffed the popcorn bucket into Winnie''s arms, feeling a little guilty. Winnie nced at Emma from the corner of her eyes, pretending to inadvertently say, "If not, why are you blushing?" N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Emma snatched Winnie''s handbag, took out the makeup mirror from the inside, and looked down at herself in the mirror. Sure enough, Winnie was right. She was blushing. Winnie patted Emma''s shoulder, "Emma, don''t struggle. I think you just like him. I can see it from your eyes, but I have to say that that guy is really awesome... " Emma waved away Winnie''s hand. She didn''t dare to look into Winnie''s eyes. She said without confidence, "How it possible! Do I fall in love with him? He is so old. He pulls a long face every day and don¡¯t allow me to do a lot of things. When he is upset, he kicks me out. What do I see in him?" Seeing Emma look like this, Winnie shrugged. The answer was self-evident. After a while, Joey called and said that he had made an appointment with a few friends, asking Emma if she wanted to go there and had fun together. Emma nced at the ying time of the next movie, got up from the sofa in the lounge area, and took Winnie straight to Mingdu International Club. ... The arrival of Emma and Winnie definitely made the eyes of Joey''s friends lit up. Emma looked so gorgeous. Winnie''s sexy fur had also attracted the attention of many people. Joey was a little proud in front of his friends. Winnie was good at socializing. After a while, she was talking with Joey''s friends. She covered her mouth with her beautiful fingernails and looked surprisedly at the man talking in front of her, "What a coincidence! I¡¯ve been to Norway some time ago. It¡¯s great..." Compared to Winnie, who was good at socializing, Emma was much quieter. She sat in the corner alone. Her hair covered half of her face, and her mind was in a mess. Joey walked over, sat down next to Emma, with a beer in his hand. He pointed to Winnie who was having fun with his friends, and said, "Your friend is good. Aftering in for a while, shepletely steals your thunder. Come on, look up. Emma is so beautiful. Where did she lose?" Emma dodged Joey''s hand which reached out to lift her chin, "Enough! I''m in a bad mood." Joey frowned, put the beer aside, and asked with concern, "What''s the matter? Kate came to trouble you again?" Emma shook her head, "No." "Is that Ivan?" Joey asked again. "No... Stop asking me." Emma was a little upset. Joey was sitting on the sofa by the side. Winnie''s chuckle came from over there. She was putting her elbows on a man''s shoulder, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of flirting. Emma stretched out her hand to touch Joey''s arm. Joey retracted his gaze and looked back at her. "Joey, if you always think about a person, will it prove that you already fall in love with that person?" "What! Don¡¯t scare me?!" Joey suddenly yelled, causing the surrounding buddies to look at him. Emma red at him, "Don''t make a fuss. Just make an example..." Joey held Emma''s wrist. His face was pale, but he looked so serious, "Emma, you have only returned for a few days. Who is that man?" Being forced so tightly by Joey, Emma suddenly felt a little guilty, pointed at Winnie casually, and said in a low voice, "I''m talking about Winnie. Why are you so excited?" Joey was finally relieved when he heard this. Seeing Joey rx his vignce, Emma quickly found an excuse to go to the bathroom and left the private room. ... In the corridor, it yed the light music. Compared with the private room, there was less noise and a bit more tranquility. Emma lingered in the bathroom for a while, washed her face with cold water, and cooled it down before coming out. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she was caught by a figure in front of her. Jessie dressed up beautifully and appeared at the door of the private room not far away, facing the makeup mirror with applying the lipstick. As Jessie put away the lipstick, a man suddenly entered in Emma''s sight, causing her heart to shrink slightly. Today, Sean was exceptionally handsome, wearing an iron-gray suit with a dark blue shirt and a narrow silver-gray tie, but it looked somewhat formal in this kind of asion. He smiled at Jessie, opened the door for her, and then followed her into the private room. Emma thought of the smile Sean had just smiled at Jessie. She felt a little disgusted. He smiled so naturally at Jessie, but pulled a long face to her. How much did he hate her? Emma turned around angrily. identally, she ran into a tall woman. The woman''s foot was stepped on by Emma. She couldn''t help but yell, "Are you blind?" Emma hurriedly let go of the woman''s foot. She finally stood firmly with the help of the wall. Just when she wanted to apologize, she saw the woman¡¯s face. The moment their eyes met, the womanughed first, "Isn''t this the little girl from the Powell family? Didn''t you go abroad? Why did youe back again?" The woman who spoke was called Taylor, a university ssmate of Jessie. Once, when Emma and Jessie fought, she happened to be there. Emma''s face didn''t look well. She didn''t want to talk nonsense with Taylor. So Emma walked past her. Taylor grabbed Emma''s wrist. Emma was thin and could not bear the strength of Taylor, so she was pulled back by Taylor. Emma just came out to the bathroom. She was only wearing a thin, wide-necked sweater. When she was pulled by Taylor, her shoulder straps were exposed. "What do you want to do?" Emma red at her. Emma didn''t want to be entangled with Taylor here. When it came to fighting, Emma had never been afraid of anyone since she was a child. She just didn''t want to fight here. Chapter 43 Look Like a Mistress Chapter 43 Look Like a Mistress Emma was not stupid. She was not the match of this burly woman. Besides, she didn''t want to rm Jessie who was in the private room, especially Sean. She didn¡¯t want anyone in the private room came out to watch her so embarrassed. Taylor was 178cm. She looked down at Emma condescendingly. Her face was round. She smiled ill- intentionally at Emma, "I haven''t forgotten that when you were fighting with Jessie, you kicked me. Then, my waist had been full of bruise for half a month... Today, you¡¯re so unlucky. You want to leave without apologizing? You wish!" Emma shook away Taylor''s hand. She raised her chin, and looked at Taylor arrogantly, "Don''t talk nonsense. I haven''t seen you in a few years. Why are you still like a toad? You stay with Jessie all day as a foil. Isn''t it enough?" Sure enough, hearing Emma''s sarcasm, Taylor waspletely irritated. Without thinking too much, she raised her hand to p Emma. Emma could have avoided this p, but Sean happened toe out of the private room at this time. Emma was stunned when she was pped. Even Sean, who had just walked out of the private room, was also stunned. Taylor pointed at Emma in anger and yelled, "Bitch, I know all of your mean stuff. Take the boyfriend from Jessie''s younger sister. You deserve it! You just look like a mistress! " Emma''s eyes still stayed on Sean. She didn''t even hear Taylor''s words. Sean was stunned for a long time in the same ce. Seeing this scene, he still didn¡¯t move. N?velDrama.Org ? content. Seeing Emma had no reactions, Taylor walked away while cursing. When she walked to Sean''s side, her huge face was still blushed, pretending to be feminine and said hello to Sean. Sean ignored her, which made the enthusiastic Taylor a little embarrassed. She turned around and quickly opened the private room door, then walked in. The light music in the corridor stopped at some unknown time. The two of them looked at each other for a long time in a weirdly quiet manner. At this moment, Emma couldn''t understand the emotion in Sean''s eyes. But there was one thing she at least understood. It turned out that Sean really had nothing to do with her. Otherwise, how could he watch her being beaten without saying a word? The weird little me that ignited in Emma''s heart quickly went out. It was like a basin of cold water in a cold winter, pouring herpletely awake. Pull the neckline of the sweater back to the shoulders to cover the shoulder straps, Emma finally retracted her gaze, turned around, and walked quietly towards her private room. Sean kept watching her disappear in the corner of the corridor, frowning. ... In front of Nelson, Edward stripped off the clothes of the "princess" in the room, only a underwear left. The drunk girl was leaning in Edward''s arms, and was still forced to drink another ss of red wine by Edward. The door of the private room was opened. Sean walked in with a cold face, attracting all Nelson''s attention. "Sean, what''s the matter with you? Why did you pull a long face...?" Sean nced at Edward, picked up his coat and walked towards the door, "Nothing..." Edward was a little confused, thinking that he did something that made Sean dissatisfied. But after thinking about it, he didn¡¯t think it was right. Sean was still fine before going out! However, at this moment, everyone could see that Sean was unhappy. But they didn''t understand the reason. After only such a short period of time, who offended him? When Sean left, he didn''t say a word. The door of the private room closed in front of him. Nelson shook his head and sighed, "Sean has be more and more difficult to understand recently." ... Sean went out of the clubhouse, put his coat on him, and took out his mobile phone along the pocket of his trousers. He dialed a phone number and said to his mobile phone indifferently, "Send a few people to 1304 room in Mingdu International Club. Except for the boss of Taida Group, regardless of men and women, punch them severely, as long as they are not dead..." When Emma returned to the private room, her face didn''t look well. Joey could see it at a nce. It was not difficult to notice that her small fair face was swollen. Joey got up from the sofa, put Emma''s hair away with one hand, and asked, "Who did it?" Emma tilted her head and avoided Joey''s hand. Winnie, who was mingling with the man on the side, turned her head when she heard the sound. Seeing that Joey and Emma were arguing, she came over. Winnie looked at Emma, then at Joey, and asked, "What''s the matter?" Emma didn''t want to make this matter a big deal, not because she was afraid, but because she didn''t want to fight with them. Seeing Emma not speaking, Winnie tugged Joey''s sleeve again, "What happened to Emma?" Joey was so furious now. He said angrily to Emma, "Emma, we grew up together. I have never seen you suffered! I pinched you once. You have to kick me back. You pretend to be a delicatedy today? You just went to the restroom but got a p on your face when you came back. Don¡¯t tell me that it¡¯s you who identally hit the door. Which door did you hit? I will go to ruin it!" Emma raised her head and looked at Joey who was with an angry face. Before she could speak, Winnie on the side had already rolled up her sleeves. She mmed a wine bottle on the coffee table and broke it in two. She said to Joey, "Who did it? Let¡¯s go!" The men on the side looked at such a scene. They were suddenly stunned. It turned out that Winnie just pretended to be gentle just now? ! Before Emma could answer, there was a loud noise in the corridor. Joey opened the door of the private room. The outside voice was instantly clear. Emma got up from the sofa and followed out. Sure enough, there was a fight at the door of 1304. ... Joey and his men also leaned over. The scene was quite chaotic. The people inside were grouped together. The bald boss of Taida Group hid in the corner of the sofa, afraid to open his eyes. The people around him were pulled out one by one by the people who broke in suddenly and were punched one by one. Jessie''s delicate makeup had been ruined. Her hair was half scattered. Although she was not injured, she was quite awkward. She bent over and rushed out of the room, picking up the phone to call the police. But before the phone number was dialed out, someone rushed over and grabbed her mobile phone. The man threw the phone to the ground. The screen was shattered instantly. Jessie covered her ears and hid in the corner of the wall, screaming. She watched Taylor covered in blood and was dragged out of the private room. Chapter 44 Have A Group Fight Chapter 44 Have A Group Fight Taylor yelled. She was the most injured of all. The people behind her still grabbed her and kicked her ass. Joey watched the battle for a few minutes. Then he understood the general situation, turning his head to look at Emma. Needless to say, he also knew who pped Emma. Seeing Emma still standing still in a daze, Joey had already rushed in. Emma was dumbfounded when she saw Joey join the melee. "Joey!" Emma was not stupid. Such a big melee happened in such a big club! But not only did the police not show up, but even the security guards almost didn''t show up. What did this mean? It showed that the background of this group of people was not small. No one dared to provoke them. But Joey didn''t care about a lot. He picked up a wine bottle and smashed it at the head of a man who was protecting Taylor. The man fell to the ground. Seeing such a scene, Emma couldn''t take care of anything else. She rushed into the crowd and grabbed Joey, "Joey, don''t fight. This group of people has strong background. If something happens, we will take the me.. ¡­" Joey had already been so furious. Seeing Emma get a p, he couldn''t bear it. The worst was that he had to get into the jail. Within a few days, his father naturally had a way to get him out. Before Emma could stop Joey, Winnie over there also took off the little fur on her body, revealing her tight-fitting ck straitjacket, and ran directly to Jessie. Winnie had learned Sanda before. If there was no one who protected Jessie now, she might be punched severely by Winnie now. The scene was out of control for a while. Eventually, someone called the police. In the police station, before Simon''s p fell on Emma''s head. One of the policemen grabbed Simon by the arm and said, "Sir, this is the police station. You can''t beat people." Simon had already been so angry that he lost his mind. He shouted at the policeman, "She is my daughter! Why can''t I teach her?" The policeman was stunned, and finally let go of his hand. But he also whispered in Simon''s ear, "Even if you are her father, you can''t hit her... Officer Brown has already called us and said if someone is going to hit his granddaughter tonight, he would ruin the police station. So you¡¯d better teach your daughter after you go home..." Emma knew that this would be the result. Simon bypassed the policeman, walked up to Emma, and red at her, "You are really good! You really give me a face. After you return, in less than half a month, you have already gone into the police station twice. This time, you¡¯re even more way out of line. You dare to hit your stepmother. What the hell do you want to do?!" Emma gave Simon a cold look, "I said I didn''t beat her. Do you believe it?" "When pig flies!" Simon was so furious. Emma looked at him, as if she was saying, "Since you don''t believe it, why did you still ask?" Simon almost passed out because of anger. After panting for a long time, Simon finally said. "You''d better pray that Jessie is fine in the hospital, otherwise I will never end with you!" Emma squinted at Simon, "She''d better die..." Simon threw the car key on Emma and left the police station angrily. ... Simon couldn''t manage this matter. Since Officer Brown gave the order, it wouldn''t end like that. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Most of those who were beaten went to the hospital. Almost no one stayed in the police station. Emma and her men were sent back to the Brown¡¯s House by two police cars. Along the way, Winnie opened her mouth wide and stared at Emma without looking away, "Emma, you never told me that you still have such a awesome grandpa?!" Emma nced at Winnie listlessly, then numbly retracted her gaze, "What''s the use of telling this? Can I make a living by it in the UK?" Winnie was speechless. She couldn''t understand Emma''s thoughts. After all, she had seen with her own eyes how hard it was for Emma to work for two part-time jobs in the UK. When Sean received a call from the police station, he was talking about the work with Wilson in the study. Hearing Sean''s cell phone rang, Wilson stopped what he hadn''t finished speaking, and raised his hand to signal Sean to answer the phone first. Sean was somewhat surprised to learn that things had turned into that way. Could it be that after the girl was beaten, she turned around and ganged up to seek revenge? He really underestimated her... Seeing Sean had finished the phone call, Wilson put down the file in his hand, raised his head and asked, "What''s the matter? Why did I hear that you mentioned Sheriff Chan on the phone just now?" Sean put the phone on the table and returned to sit down in front of Wilson, "Nothing serious. It''s Emma who has some trouble, but it has been solved..." Speaking of Emma, Wilson''s face changed. In the end, he couldn''t help but said, "Sean, I want to see that girl..." ... New Year''s Eve would be three dayster. For the Charles family, this New Year''s Eve would be the most lively in the past few years. Julia called from Australia. Due to work reasons, she could only return on New Year''s Eve. She had to rush back early on the first day after the new year. She had already booked the air ticket in advance. Silvia was in a good mood. Looking at Charles who was walking in the yard, she turned her head and said to the nanny, "Let Charlese in. It''s cold outside. Don''t let him catch a cold." The nanny responded and went out. Turning her head, she saw her two sons were sitting on the sofa, each with aptop. Even if it was on vacation, they were still busy with work. Silvia, who was in a good mood, was a little anxious when she saw her two sons. She was getting older and older. But why couldn''t she have a grandchild yet? Wilson turned his head and asked the nanny, Tiffany, to help him pour water. Seeing that Tiffany was there, he got up and took the water ss. Then he went to the drinking fountain by himself. Wilson just left. Silvia sat down in the position where Wilson had just sat. Sean nced at his mother who was sitting beside him, "What''s the matter?" Silvia gave him a stern look, "Why does you pull a long face every day? I can''t sit next to you for a while?" Sean was confused, but also calmly said, "You can sit here, but don''t make a noise. It will disturb my work." Silvia knocked Sean on the head with the remote control in her hand, and said, "You two are really brothers. None of them is like me, the only one who is like me has already left me..." Speaking of this, Silvia felt sad. The death of her little daughter was a fact that she could not ept. Sean sighed, moved theptop from hisp to the coffee table, and turned his head to look at her. Chapter 45 I Have a Granddaughter? Chapter 45 I Have a Granddaughter? Silvia''s tears fell down. She shifted the topic to the two brothers again, "Your brother is in his 40s and you are in your 30s. Both make me worry. You don¡¯t want to think for yourself, anyway, please think about me, okay? I¡¯m getting older and older day by day. But I haven¡¯t had a grandchild yet!" Sean was speechless. Every time the topic came up, Sean would respond in silence, becauseforting words would not help, unless he could take action. "Your eldest brother and your sister-inw are in the current state. I can''t force them. But you are different. In short, you must make it clear with me today. When will the wedding be held? If you don¡¯t hold the wedding, from tomorrow on, I will follow you all day. I want to see what you are doing all day and even have no time to get married!" Silvia finally said such words. Sean pondered for a moment, raised his head, and nced at Wilson, who was standing in front of the drinking fountain not far away and waiting for the water to boil. Then he said, "I have a piece of important news. Do you want to listen to?" Silvia''s eyes brightened, "What...?" Sean approached Silvia''s ear, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Brother may have a daughter..." "What?" Silvia almost jumped up when she heard the words. Sean held on to the excited olddy, then looked back in Wilson''s direction. Seeing that Wilson didn''t look over, he continued, "It''s still not confirmed. Don''t be so excited. This time, he returned just for this matter. But he doesn''t want to make it public before the matter is confirmed. In short, you just pretend not to know, and you have to keep it from my Dad. Just wait until the matter bes clear." The tears of Silvia shed even more fiercely. She didn''t know if she was sad or happy. She held Sean''s arm tightly, crying out. After controlling her emotions, she couldn''t help asking, "How old is the girl? Where does she live? What is her name? How is she? Can you take me to see her first?" Facing with a series of questions, Sean was silent. It seemed that today''s trick to divert attention didn¡¯t work... Wilson waited until the water boiled and then got some water. Silvia also left the sofa cheerfully. Before leaving, she did not forget to say to herself with a happy face, "If this thing is true, I will have a granddaughter..." Looking at Silvia like this, Sean only felt a headache. Wilson ced the water cup on the coffee table on his left, nced back at the muttering olddy, and then asked, "What were you talking about just now? I saw mother crying andughing." Sean shrugged, "I lied to her and said that you have a daughter outside. She believes in it..." Wilson was stunned when he heard the words, then he shook his head helplessly. Heughed in a low voice, "Take me out again as a shield... But what you said is right. Maybe Emma is really my daughter. ..." There was a soft sh from the coffee table. It was Sean who knocked over the water ss. Wilson was in a panic. He threw the water ss and checked the injury on the back of Sean''s hand. Sean got a serious burned. The whole ss of hot water was poured on the back of his hand... ... In the ward of the Central Hospital, Jessie was crying with hugging Simon. Simon''sfort was of no avail. He could only watch her crying. Jessie raised her head with crying, "Simon, I don''t know what else I have to do to let Emma let go of the prejudices. I have really worked hard..." Simon patted her on the head and nodded, "I see. Emma is ignorant. You¡¯re wronged." Hearing this, Jessie cried even more. Even Kate, who was standing by, almost cried out. Jessie looked back at her sister and continued, "If Emma is unwilling to ept me, I can understand. Whether she hits me or scolds me, I won''t take it to heart. How about Kate? She and Ivan are in love, but Emma doesn''t want them to live well... She hates me, but why bother Kate?" Simon nodded, "I will teach her a good lesson this time. Don''t worry." Jessie''s crying voice became softer. Simon''s cell phone rang. He turned around and went out to answer the phone. Kate pulled Jessie''s quilt up and whispered, "Sister, are you okay?" Jessie nced in the direction of the door and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I''m fine. There are two scratches on my arm, but Taylor seems to be seriously injured. Go to see herter..." Kate nodded, with a sad expression on her face, "I have been unable to figure out how could this be the case?" Jessie held Kate''s hands and looked at her, "Kate, don''t worry. I will not let you suffer any wrongdoing. Since this has happened, it is not a bad thing in my opinion. You have seen your brother-inw¡¯s attitude. This matter will definitely not be over so easily. But you, how are you and Ivan going? I see that he rarely looks for you recently..." Kate sighed and looked disappointed, "I don''t know. In short, since Emma came back, Ivan has been colder towards me. Although he still cares about me, I always feel that the looks in his eyes..." "Don''t be afraid. I have a way to get Emma to go back to the UK as soon as possible. You trust me." Jessie said confidently. Hearing this, Kate finally nodded, "Well, I trust you..." Seeing Kate finally smiled, Jessie was relieved. Rowling, a medical doctor from the UK, expressed her interest in the culture here after conducting an academic seminar and hoped to stay in L City and spent the New Year here. Wilson finished his work and took Rowling from the hotel to his house. N?velDrama.Org ? content. Fifty-year-old Rowling seemed to be very interested in everything about the Charles family, especially making tea. In the living room, Wilson was teaching Rowling how to make tea with the standard British English. Outside the house, Sean finished walking Nunu, handed the dog leash to the nanny, and turned around to go in. Sean seldom went back to CJ Vi recently. Seeing the new year wasing, Sean gave Flora a vacation, so Nunu was brought here. Wilson raised his head from the sofa and looked at Sean, whose hand was wrapped in white gauze. He said, "Sean, Rachel just called and said that she was going to a charity party in the afternoon. She can''te over tonight." Sean let out an "um" and stood at the door to change his shoes without raising his head. Chapter 46 Surgery Chapter 46 Surgery Wilson was a little worried about Sean''s attitude towards Rachel. After all, he had experienced that. To some extent, he was a little worried about Sean''s future married life. Before Wilson coulde back to his senses, Sean had already walked over to say hello to Rowling. Rowling watched Sean sit down. She stared at him for a moment, with a certain relief in her eyes. "To be honest, I was very uncertain about the operation that I performed on you three years ago." "Oh?" Sean looked at her with a smile. Rowling was a very cutedy. Even though she was in her 50s, she looked very young. Her smile was so good. When she smiled, there were two big dimples in her face. She spoke slowly. When she was speaking with thenguage of C Country, she would use the body language, "I often encounter some cases like yours. Fulminant liver failure ounts for not a low proportion of liver disease patients in Britain, but because you were in danger at that time, the liver resources were limited and theplications within a short period of time after surgery can easily kill the patient again, the survival rate is not high. Of course, I am very happy to see that you are still so healthy..." N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Sean smiled gratefully, "You are a great doctor." Rowling blushed and waved her hand hurriedly, "No, no, it''s not what you thought. If it weren''t for my mistakes, I wouldn''t have caused that young girl so much trouble..." "Young girl?" Wilson asked curiously. Rowling''s eyes shifted to Wilson''s face and then nodded, ¡°Yes. Although I don¡¯t know what method the girl used to make her blood sugar soar in a short time, she is indeed a severely hypoglycemic patient. In order to protect her brain tissue from damage, the operation was progressing very hard... You know, I can¡¯t give up one patient because of saving the life of another patient. She is brave. She was not yet 17 years old that year. She is tenacious..." Wilson was confused. He turned to Rowling and said, "Did you remember it wrong? When my brother had an ident, I also rushed to Britain. Even it was three years ago. That girl was also at least 25 years old. How could she be 17?" Rowling smiled and waved her hand, "I can''t remember it wrong. I even think I owe that girl. How can I remember it wrong? Well, she is a very beautiful girl. She is very thin. She didn¡¯t even have a family member to apany her. Only when I had to inform her family members of her condition during the operation did I know that her ¡®family¡¯ was only temporarily hired by her..." Wilson couldn''t believe it. He turned his head to look at Sean. Sean looked very calm, but no one knew what he was thinking about. After a while, he looked up at Rowling and asked, "Excuse me, do you remember the girl''s name?" ... Rowling thought for a while, and said, "Sorry, I can''t remember it clearly. It seems like Rain or something else..." Finally, she said a word ¡°Rain¡±. Sean''s face sank. He suddenly stood up from the sofa. "Sean!" Wilson stopped Sean. Then he got up from the sofa, and walked around in front of Sean, "Before the matter is clear, don''t make it difficult for Rachel..." Sean nced at Wilson, "Well..." After speaking, he turned upstairs. The day before New Year''s Eve, Simon called Officer Brown. In the process of answering the phone, Officer Brown¡¯s face sank, "Don¡¯t I know what kind of temper my granddaughter is? She is at my home. What can happen to her? Even if she makes a little trouble, I can solve it!" Officer Brown said seriously and a little angrily. Simon didn¡¯t dare to refute, "Dad, I didn¡¯t mean that. You can¡¯t always spoil her like this..." "That''s my business. You don¡¯t have to worry about it!" After speaking, Officer Brown hung up the phone directly. Emma, who was sitting on the sofa and eating grapes, kept secretly paying attention to the expression on her grandpa¡¯s face. But she did not expect that her grandpa would help her this time! After Officer Brown hung up the phone angrily, he turned his head and saw Emma looking at him. He said, "What are you looking at?!" Emma grinned and held Officer Brown''s arms. After Officer Brown sat on the sofa, she said coquettishly, "Grandpa, why didn''t I know you were so good to me?" Officer Brown nced at her, "I can turn a blind eye for other things, but this time, I can''t bear it! His wife bullied you! Your mother passed away, but I''m still alive. It¡¯s his luck that I haven''t turned against with them yet!" Emma circled her grandfather''s neck and kissed the old man''s face. Then she said with a smile, "Grandpa, I know you are the best to me and love me the most..." Officer Brown pretended to be disgusted and wiped off the saliva Emma left on his face, but he was smiling, "What gifts do you want for your birthday this year?" When it came to birthday gifts, Emma''s mouth was pouting. It was not that she didn¡¯t want to spend her birthday, but the day made her a headache. Her birthday happened to coincide with New Year''s Eve. In the old man¡¯s view, on New Year¡¯s Eve, the whole family had to sit together to watch TV and have dinner... Anyway, she would not be allowed to going out. She also asked Joey and Winnie to go skiing together that day... "I want an Audi Q7..." Emma said after a long time. Officer Brown was surprised. He looked at his granddaughter, and said, "You won''t stay in C Country for long, and you don''t have a driver''s license. Why do you buy such an expensive car?" Emma didn''t want the car. What she waited was Officer Brown''s refusal. Once he refused her request, she could tell Officer Brown that she wanted to go skiing with Joey and Winnie. "Anyway, I just want it. The ck and the best one!" Officer Brown stared at Emma ntingly for a while, then picked up thendline phone, and said to the phone, "Go to buy an Audi Q7. ck. The best! Go now!" Emma was stunned in shock. Officer Brown seemed to have seen her thoughts. He got up from the sofa and smiled, "Cut it out!" At this moment, Emma felt so despairing... Chapter 47 What’s Wrong with You? Chapter 47 What¡¯s Wrong with You? The day before New Year''s Eve, Jessie was furious at her agent in the corridor of the Central Hospital. "What¡¯s wrong with you? Didn''t you say that you know the middle-level leader on that website? Why can¡¯t you deal with such little matter?! What rights do they have to block my INS ount privately? I''m a public figure. It is illegal to vite my privacy!" The agent, Vivian, looked tangled. After listening to Jessie¡¯s words, she persuaded, "Jessie, don''t be so angry. My friend also said it was not that he didn¡¯t want to help us, but he can¡¯t control it. Although it¡¯s the Inte age and you have thousands of fans, it¡¯s really not good to do that..." ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Jessie''s face became a bit distorted due to the anger. She still arrogantly said, "What? I was beaten by such arge group of people inexplicably. But I can¡¯t post some pictures? What regtions did I vite? I just said the truth. Why did they block my ount on their website? This is my freedom!" "Jessie, you asked your fans to search the people in photos. It is a bit too out of the line... You also know even the police can¡¯t solve the problem. That group of people has the backer. You don''t have to ruin your future because of this matter. Why bother?" Vivian said. Jessie was still very angry. She still said impulsively, "I have the entire the Brown Group as my backer. What am I afraid of?!" Vivian had a depressed expression on her face. She said with a frown, "I have said so much, but why don''t you understand it! Think about it, those people even dare to provoke the Brown Group, so you can imagine that what kind of person is behind them. Besides, they are not necessarily directed at you. You didn¡¯t get hurt? Why bother to stick it? If you continue to do your own way, let alone others, I won¡¯t know how to exin to our ownpany..." Hearing this, Jessie finally stopped speaking. The first person she thought of was Emma''s grandfather. Although he had already retired, his disciples were now in important positions. No one dared to provoke him. Besides him, Jessie couldn''t think of anyone else. Thinking of this, Jessie could only swallow her anger, not to mention herself, even Simon had to call him father-inw. In the end, Jessie could only swallow it. She said to her agent angrily, "Then you should at least let me open INS first, otherwise my fans would think something happens to me! I won''t mention it again..." Vivian finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "I''ll call to coordinate this matter." Even so, Jessie still red at Vivian. Then she turned and walked towards Taylor''s ward... ... After visiting Taylor, Jessie stepped on her high heels, carrying LV''stest handbag, and walked towards the elevator alone. Coincidentally, she met Sean in the elevator. Sean did not wear a suit today. He was dressed in a casual azure blue coat, which made him look very young. His perfect face attracted the attention of everyone in the elevator, including Jessie. It was Calvin, the assistant of Sean, who noticed Jessie. Calvin and Jessie had seen each other for once. It was a few years ago when Sean''s father was interviewed by Jessie. Calvin greeted Jessie with a smile. Jessie nodded, focusing only on Sean''s face. "What a coincidence! Mr. Sean, I didn''t expect to meet you here." Jessie smiled brightly to greet Sean. Sean nodded as a response. He seemed not willing to say hello to her. Jessie was a little embarrassed, especially there were so many people watching her. Jessie also pretended not to see Sean''s face, and still asked with concern, "Did you hand get hurt?" "Scald. Nothing serious." Sean said lightly. Hearing Sean reply to her, Jessie felt a little relieved. She straightened up her back again. She found that the little nurse next to her was taking photos of her with the mobile phone. The elevator quickly reached the first floor. Sean let Jessie go first. After going out of the elevator door, Jessie turned around and asked with a smile, "I don''t know if Mr. Sean is avable? How about drinking coffee together?" Sean nced at her lightly. Although he was smiling, his tone was very alienated, "No!" Jessie was stunned. She only heard that Sean had a cold temperament. But after all, she and he attended that party in the clubst time. She did not expect that he would refuse her so directly. Sean nodded at her with a faint smile, as a farewell. Then he turned and strode towards the door. Jessie''s face blushed because of embarrassment. There were so many peopleing and going in the hospital. She looked around, and was afraid that such a scene was photographed by the paparazzi. In the afternoon, Emma nestled in the sofa of Joey¡¯s home to eat oranges. Joey was wearing big blue pants, sitting on the sofa chair with his legs crossed, holding his mobile phone and swiping the news. The photos in the headlines of entertainment gossip caught Joey''s attention. He waved his hand, "Emma,e over and take a look." Emmazily nced at him, "Just say it out. Why do you have to call me over?" "Juste over! Why are you sozy?" Joey said irritably. Emma red at him, got up from the sofa reluctantly, walked over, and sat on the arm of the sofa next to him. Joey passed the phone to her and showed her the news, "Your stepmother is on the headlines again. Guess who she is with this time..." Emma looked at the screen curiously. Just one nce, she was stunned. The background in the photo was the lobby on the first floor of the Central Hospital. Sean and Jessie were standing face to face, very closely. With a faint smile on Sean''s face, Jessie raised her head and talked to him. She seemed like a little girl who was in love. The theme of this news was even more eye-catching. It was written like this, ¡°The well-known anchor, Jessie, admitted her rtionship. Her lover turns out to be Mr. Sean, the president of the Knight Group...¡± After reading this news, Emma felt a little disgusting in addition to the anger. In order to be famous, Jessie had been concealing that she had already been married over the years. In order to increase her poprity, she asked the media to report the scandals that she dated with others male celebrities. Emma knew all of these. But her father had no time to care about it, and she even bothered to care about it. But this time, it was different. Emma couldn''t tell why it was different. Maybe it was because the other party was Sean. Chapter 48 Flirt with Others Chapter 48 Flirt with Others In the past few days, Emma had indeed seen Sean and Jessie together. Last time, she saw Sean and Jessie were in the clubhouse together, which had already proved it. But thinking about Jessie flirting with others, Emma felt angry. Joey was still staring at Emma and asked, "Emma, what are you going to do next with this matter?" Emma red at him, then snatched the phone from his hand, "What else can I do?!" Having said that, she copied the content and sent it directly to Simon''s mobile phone. Joey had a smirk on his face, "You are so mean! New Year ising. Your dad may be so furious when he sees this news. I think you just want to make a scene..." After taking revenge on Jessie, Emma returned the phone to Joey. Somehow, she felt even more disappointed... After drinking afternoon tea at Joey''s home, Emma was about to leave. Joey picked up the car key and wanted to drive Emma back, but Emma refused. Emma said that she wanted to walk alone. The way back was not far away. Thinking that Emma had eaten two bowls of rice at noon, Joey agreed. Then he took off his coat and jacket, nestled back on the sofa, and shouted, "Goodbye!" N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Back at the Brown¡¯s House, at the gate, Emma identally found Sean''s car. The ck Bentley was still eye-catching, but there was the license te on it. It was A1111. Pushing the door open, Emma ran in. Even if she hated Sean guts before, at this moment, she eagerly wanted to see him. At the door of the living room, Emma lowered her head and changed her shoes. She craned her neck and couldn''t wait to look inside, only to find that there was no one. She ran up to the second floor with her slippers, and saw Maggieing out of her room. "Is there a visitor at home?" Emma grabbed Maggie and asked, panting gently when she spoke. Maggie gave her a surprised look and replied, "Yes, didn''t you go to Joey''s home? Why are youing back soon?" "Is there a visitor at home?" Emma repeated it again. Her tone was a little more impatient than the previous sentence. Maggie nodded, "Yes, he¡¯s here to visit your grandpa. Now, they''re in the reception room..." Before Maggie finished speaking, Emma had already turned and went downstairs. The door of the reception room was open. Emma''s heart was beating a little faster. She stopped not far away. Sean''s voice came from inside, "My eldest brother wants to visit you. I don''t know whether you..." Emma poked her head out quietly and saw Sean''s perfect side face. Sean was dressed in an iron gray suit with his wrists on his knees, revealing a little white shirt cuff. The watch on his wrist was a limited-edition ssic style from Patek Philippe. Emma had seen it in a magazine. He was calm and graceful. His eyes were focused and serious when he looked at Officer Brown. Officer Brown pondered for a moment, and finally looked at Sean, "Not in hurry..." The rejection did not make Sean embarrassed. Sean was still calm and then he nodded, "Okay, I will tell him..." Emma retracted her head from the door, leaned against the wall, and stared at the ceiling in a daze. The content of the conversation in the room had changed. Emma couldn''t understand the business affairs. She turned around and walked into the living room. In the living room, Emma was fidgeting on the sofa. She imagined over and over again how she should greet Sean when he came out. Should she enthusiastically call him Uncle, or pretend to ignore him? Emma was a little tangled. After a while, she got up from the sofa again, strode up to the second floor, closed the door with a "bang" sound and shut herself in the room. Lying on the big bed, Emma thought angrily again. What did it have to do with her whether he came or not? Why did she have to wait there as if she was receiving a leader, and still had to prepare for the weing speech? ! But this thought didn''tst long and disappeared again. Her grandpa''s voice sounded downstairs. Emma got up from the bed, opened the door, pricked her ears to listen to the movement downstairs. Sure enough, Sean said goodbye from downstairs. Sean said, "My grandpa has always been in good health. Thank you for your concern. When I go back, I will convey your greetings to him. Wish you be healthy too." Officer Brown told Maggie to go out to see off Sean. Maggie said yes. The sound of opening the door sounded on the first floor. After a while, a heavy closing sound rang again. The living room instantly became quiet. Emma opened the door of the room and ran out with slippers. On the stairs, her footsteps suddenly stopped. She looked downstairs with shock. The moment when their eyes met, Emma was stunned. Sean hadn''t left yet... Officer Brown saw Emma. He raised his head and asked, "Didn''t you go to Joey¡¯s home? When did you come back?" Emma nced at her grandfather, without answering. Her gaze returned to Sean''s face. Seeing Sean staring at Emma, Officer Brown waved his hand to let Emma go downstairs, "Well,e over and say hello to your uncle." What her grandpa said made Emma feel Sean was like her elder. Emma only stared at Sean, feeling ufortable. Seeing Emma standing on the stairs without moving, Officer Brown turned to look at Sean, "Sorry. She¡¯s like that and spoiled by me when she was young..." Sean retracted his gaze with an embarrassment. There was no change in the expression on his face. He calmly said, "It''s okay, then I''m leaving first..." While they were talking, Maggie walked over with some wrapped gifts in her hand and handed them to Sean¡¯s hands. She smiled and said, "I almost forgot about it. These are what Officer Brown has told me to prepare for your grandpa. I prepared them early in the morning." Sean took the gifts from Maggie, thanked Officer Brown, then turned and walked towards the door. Maggie ran to open the door for him. Sean turned his head and nodded to Officer Brown to signal that he was leaving, and took a look the upstairs. Emma still stood there nkly. Her eyes stuck to him. When they were looking at each other, the looks in Sean''s eyes were a bitplicated. But he quickly withdrew his gaze, turned and left the house. Officer Brown had been watching Sean go out of the house. When he looked at upstairs, Emma was no longer on the stairs... Before Officer Brown sat on the sofa, he saw Emma rushing down from the second floor like another gust of wind. She put on a dark brown overcoat. When she was walking, she lifted her neck and pulled the zipper up. Chapter 49 Why Did You Come to My Home? Chapter 49 Why Did You Come to My Home? Looking at Emma standing at the door and changing shoes, Officer Brown turned around and asked, "What are you going to do again?" Emma lied, "I left my things at Joey''s home. I have to go get them back!" Officer Brown got up from the sofa, "Let Maggie get them for you. It''s so cold outside. Do you have to get them now?" Emma didn''t answer her grandpa''s words, but just pushed the door open. ... The Brown¡¯s House was so big. Emma knew that it would take a while for Sean to get to the gate. She took a short cut, bypassed the small golf course, and ran for the back door. The Brown¡¯s House was a manor-style vi with arge floor area. It was in the shape of an oblique triangle. As long as Emma went out through the back door, there was a small fork road that could lead to the main road in front. It was a straight line, so it didn¡¯t have to take a while. Emma ran all the way. Her mind was in a mess. She also didn¡¯t know why she wanted to see him. Finally, when she dashed out of the intersection, a ck Bentley was driving over from her side. When Sean saw Emma rushing out of the small road suddenly, he stepped on the brake. There were very few peopleing and going on this road. There was only this vi nearby, so there were few vehicles. Sean sat in the car without moving, looking at Emma standing in front of the car through the windshield. Emma''s face was a little pale by the wind. She was biting her lips stubbornly, and staring straightly at the person in the car. The fallen leaves on the side of the road were swept up by the wind and swept across Emma''s feet, spinning and galloping towards the other side of the road. Emma''s sleeves were very long. Her little hands were in them, revealing only her fingertips. Her hair was tied loosely. A few strands of hair fell down and stuck on her face. She didn''t stretch her hand to brush them off her face, but just stood stubbornly in front of the car with her small face raised, her eyes firm. Sean pushed the car door, walked over and stopped in front of Emma. Emma was 1.65 meters tall. If she wanted to meet his eyes, she had to hold her head up. Sean lowered his head to see the looks in her eyes, "Don¡¯t you know it is very dangerous?" Sean¡¯s words made Emma feel angry. Pulling the hair out of her face angrily, Emma red at him, "Why did youe to my home?" The bad tone of this sentence made Sean frowned. After a while, he said, "I have something to talk about with your grandpa, which has nothing to do with you." After speaking, Sean turned and walked towards his car. Emma didn¡¯t like to cry. But at this moment, some tears welled up into her eyes, "You know that Jessie is my father¡¯s wife, but you still pester with her. My dad is stupid, but I didn''t expect you were also such a person!" Hearing Emma''s words, Sean stopped. He slowly turned around to look at her, "Who said I pester with her?" Sean''s tone was a bit bad. His face sank. Emma actually felt a little timid. Forcing herself to calm down, she took out the phone and walked to Sean, "See it by yourself!" Sean stared at Emma for a while, then looked down at the phone screen. After a while, his face eased. His eyes were ced on Emma''s face which made her a little at a loss. "Go home. It''s cold outside..." Sean''s concerned words made Emma stunned. She really didn''t wear much. The coat she wore was very thin, and the inside was just a home hoodie. She couldn''t help shivering when she stood in front of Sean. But even so, Emma still didn''t give up. She was very stubborn. She still stared at Sean and didn''t move. It seemed that if Sean didn¡¯t make it clear today, she wouldn''t let him go. In the end, Sean sighed, took off his coat and put it on her. Suddenly, Emma was wrapped in Sean''s coat, which was full of his smell. She felt a little flustered. "You can¡¯t take entertainment news seriously. If someone takes a picture that I stand with you today, will the news tomorrow say that I am in love with you?" Emma was startled when she heard this. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she didn''t believe that Sean would really be with Jessie. With his status, he could find a super nice woman. Why did he bother to find a married woman? Besides, even if he really had something with Jessie, he wouldn¡¯t let himself be photographed by the paparazzi. Even if Jessie was shameless, the Charles family wouldn''t ruin their reputation. Sean''s father was a big shot in L City. How could he let his son hook up with married women? But even so, Emma was still worried. She had to listen to these words from Sean''s mouth to be able to feel at ease, as if no matter what the oue was, she only believed what he said. As long as he said no, it was no! Seeing Emma''s face rxed a little, Sean tightened the coat wrapped around her, "Go home..." Sean''s cool fingertips inadvertently rubbed her jaw. A numb sensation quickly flowed through her body. She even had small goose bumps. Emma''s eyes fixed on Sean''s injured right hand. Sean turned to the car door. Emma couldn''t help but step forward, "Sean, you...really don''t like Jessie?" This was the first time Emma called him by his name. Sean stopped. He didn''t look back. A strange feeling passed through his heart. This feeling made him somewhat unexpected. He opened the car door, and said, "I don''t like her!" Sean''s car disappeared in front of Emma. She fixedly stared at the already empty street, and let out a sigh of relief... ... ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. On the road, Sean pulled off the necktie and threw it to the passenger seat, turning off the air conditioner, but he still felt hot. His irritability and restlessness came from the strange feeling in his own heart just now. He tried his best to calm himself, but he couldn''t calm down. All his mind echoed Emma''s "Sean". He drove fast. He dared not look at the slender figure in the rearview mirror when he left... The phone at hand rang. Sean tapped the answer button casually. Wilson''s voice came over the phone, "Sean, what did Officer Brown say?" Sean''s heart sank a little bit. The sudden upset made his anger nowhere to vent. He forced himself to calm down and said, "He doesn''t want to see you..." Wilson on the other end of the phone was silent, except for the slight engine ringing in the car, there was only the heavy breathing of Wilson on the phone. On New Year''s Eve, an inconsistent firecracker sounded outside, waking Emma from her sleep. Chapter 50 Go Skiing Chapter 50 Go Skiing Emma sat up from the bed and nced at the time on the phone. It was less than 8 o''clock. Scratching her tousled hair, Emma got up angrily. After a simple freshening up, she went downstairs with her slipper. In the living room, Officer Brown was talking on the phone. Emma knew who was calling by the look on Officer Brown¡¯s face. Emma¡¯s uncle lived in the army all year round, and rarely came back during New Year. Her aunt used to study with her son in France for her son¡¯s studies. Later, her son graduated and worked in France. So she and her son simply settled in France. Due to the work, they returned only a few times. Officer Brown said with joy on the phone. He didn''t even notice Emmaing down from the second floor. Emma passed by her grandfather and saw a doubleyered cake in the dining room. Maggie was busing at the table. Seeing that Emma was awake, Maggie hurried over and asked, "Miss, why did you get up so early?" Emma yawned and sat down on the sofa listlessly, "I want to sleep more. The problem is that I can¡¯t fall sleep. Firecrackers are raging outside. It''s too noisy." Maggie smiled, "It¡¯s New Year. Every family set off firecrackers for celebrating." Emma felt that there was nothing to say, so she just turned her head and looked out the window. She was shocked after looking out. Joey''s dark red Cayenne stopped at the door not far away. Emma didn''t notice when it came. She suddenly remembered the appointment to go skiing with Joey and Winnie today. But could her grandpa agree? When Emma was wondering the matter, Officer Brown had finished the phone call. He was studying how to insert the candles on the cake with Maggie. Emma was walking back and forth in the living room in slippers. Seeing Joey''s car was still parked at the door, the sweat on her forehead came out, so she could only bite the bullet and move to Officer Brown. Officer Brown turned his head and asked enthusiastically, "Come here, do you like this cake? I specially bought this for you. I know you like durians. It¡¯s full of durian pulp. But it¡¯s just a little smelly..." Emma didn''t have the heart to think about these things. She looked back at the window, and nodded uneasily, "Yeah, yeah. I like it..." How could Officer Brown not know what Emma was thinking about? But even so, he still said seriously, "In any case, don''t think of going out today. New Year''s Eve is only when the whole family gathers together. There is nothing fun outside. You are not allowed to go out. You have to help Maggie make dumplings." Emma was helpless. Dumplings were what she hated most in her life. ... Outside, the window of Cayenne was half rolling down, revealing Joey''s handsome face. Winnie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nced in the direction of the vi and asked, "Why is Emma still noting out? You can''t just call and ask?" "Then why don''t you call her?" Joey looked at Winnie. Then he took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket angrily. After the call got through, Emma quickly picked up. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. "Hey, Emma, are you going to go skiing? Winnie and I are waiting for you at the door. Hurry up, okay?!" As soon as Joey finished speaking, Emma''s voice came over the phone. "What''s wrong? Joey...what?! You are injured! Is it serious? Which hospital? OK... OK, I''ll go over to see you..." Before Joey could say anything, Emma had already hung up the phone. "Damn it! She cursed me to get injured on New Year¡¯s Eve?!" Joey took the phone to his eyes, and was confused by Emma''s words. Then, Emma rushed out of the vi in less than ten minutes. Looking at Emma''s messy clothes, Joey and Winnie both were shocked. While pulling up the zipper on the cor of her coat, Emma stuffed her mobile phone into her bag. She pulled the door and got into the car. When she looked up, she found that Joey and Winnie looking at her disgustingly. "What are you doing? Go quickly! When my grandpa reactster, do you think we can leave?!" Emma said angrily. Joey reacted instantly and hurriedly started the car. The dark red Cayenne whizzed out, disappearing in a swish. The Charles¡¯ House was also extremely lively today. Charles sat in the living room and looked out the window cheerfully. Outside, Wilson squatted on the ground, using the cigarette in his hand to light a firecracker. Apanied by a puff of white smoke on the ignition rope of the firecracker, Wilson quickly got up, stepped back, and stood not far away to watch. The firecrackers exploded with crackling, causing Rowling, who was standing at the door with thick gloves, to scream. Charles chuckled and nced at the door, "Tsk, it''s just a firecracker. I didn¡¯t expect that she is so scared." Sitting on the sofa, Sean raised his head and nced out of the floor-to-ceiling window. Then he focused on theptop on the coffee table in front of him again. On the terrace of the living room, Silvia was instructing the housekeeper to hangnterns, smiling from ear to ear. Ever since Sean told her that Wilson had a daughter, she was so happy. In the bathroom on the first floor, Julia was walking out, shaking her half-dry hand. When she looked up, she saw Sean, and then asked with a smile, "Sean, why didn''t you go out to join in the fun with your brother?" Sean raised his head from theputer and replied, "No, he doesn¡¯t need help." Julia didn''t say anything. She turned around and went outside, standing with Rowling, watching Wilson light the second firecracker. There were bursts ofughtering in. ... After the lunch, Wilson was called out by his friends to y bowling. He said he would be back before dinner. He couldn''t help with cook anyway, so Silvia didn''t force him to stay at home. Anyway, it was enough to have the New Year''s Eve dinner together. As soon as Wilson was picked up by his friend, Julia and Rowling put on coats and came out of the room. "Sean, do you have time? Can you take Rowling and me to the ski resort?" Julia said to Sean who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV. The drivers in the family were all taken off vacation to go home for the New Year. Sean nodded and got up to get his coat jacket. ... There was a newly developed ski resort near the west suburb park in L City, which was located on the hillside and had not been officially opened to the public. Chapter 51 Accident Chapter 51 ident Considering the security of them, Sean contacted the management of the ski resort in private and took the VIP channel. In addition to skiing, there were so many snow games. Although they were notpletely open to the public, there were still a lot of people. Sean was not interested in this, so he sat in the lounge area alone and smoked. Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling window, the snow scene outside was unobstructed. Silhouettes of people wearing ski suits on the hillside not far away were galloping down,ughing and screaming. A girl in a yellow ski suit caught Sean''s attention in the crowd. She was skiing down from the highest point, with a graceful posture and rapid speed. The man in the red ski suit who followed her rolled down the hill, making the girl look back andugh frequently. A brown woolen hat on the girl''s head, with white rabbit fur earmuffs, her thick long hair was not tied up. She was flying in the snow with the rapid decline speed. Although a pair of ink-colored sses covered her small face, the confident expression on her face still came out easily with theughter. Sean couldn''t look away. Unknowingly, the girl''s appearance gradually ovepped with the Emma in his mind. Sean forced himself to retract his gaze. After taking a deep breath, he stretched out his finger to press his forehead... Rowling and Julia, wearing ski boots, came awkwardly and stopped in front of him. Rowling wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue, took a sip of the mineral water in front of her, and extended her thumb to praise Julia. Julia was indeed good at skating. She was born in the north, and she was familiar with this kind of sports. Rowling put down the mineral water bottle and pointed towards the bathroom, "Would you like to go there together?" Julia nodded, and put down the mineral water in her hand, "Yeah." After speaking, the two went straight to the bathroom opposite. Seeing the two people leave, Sean turned his head and looked outside again. In a blink of an eye, the girl in the yellow ski suit on the hill was gone... ... There were gradually more people in the rest area. A girl with short hair holding a sled board passed by Sean. She looked around in the crowd, as if looking for someone. Sean turned around. He felt the girl''s face was a little familiar. Just when he was distracted, a loud noise suddenly came from the mountain outside. The rest area screamed, suddenly chaos. Large chunks of snow and rocks were rolling down from the mountainside, smashing into the ski resort, making somerge and small pits. The short-haired girl rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the hillside with wide eyes in horror. After a while, she suddenly turned around and ran back. In the crowd, she grabbed a man''s hand and asked, "Joey, where is Emma? Why is she not with you?" Hearing the word ¡°Emma¡±, Sean turned around abruptly. Joey stood in the crowd, looking at the scene outside. His face turned pale, and he stammered, "She didn''te down with me. She seems to be still, still on the hillside..." Before Joey finished speaking, a figure rushed out in a blink of an eye. Winnie turned around and looked at Sean. She was a little stunned. ... The people on the hillside desperately ran down the mountain, screaming and crying. However, only Sean was heading up the hillside alone. When Winnie recognized Sean, she was dumbfounded and said, "Does he want to die?" When Joey also reacted and ran up the hillside, Sean had already reached Emma¡¯s side first. Emma was hit in the abdomen by a stone and sat on the ground with a painful face. She couldn''t get up at all. The tender yellow ski suit was too conspicuous. Sean recognized her at a nce. He ran to her and squatted down. There was still snow falling beside them. Sean used his body to protect Emma, but did not dare to pick her up easily. "Emma..." Sean called her name. When Emma raised her head, Sean saw that her lower lip had been bitten. It was obvious that it so hurt. "Uncle..." Tears welled up into in Emma''s eye. Her little face was so pale because of the fear. At the moment when she saw Sean, she finally showed it out. "Hold on." Sean lowered his head. He stared at her when he said this. Emma nodded lightly. But when Sean hugged her up, she still screamed out because of the pain. But just as Sean was straightening up, Joey shouted from the bottom of the hillside, "Emma, be careful..." Almost at the same time, Emma fell to the ground again. But this time, no snow or stones hit her. Instead, Sean''s muffled hum came into her ears. The two fell together. Emma screamed in pain. Sean''s whole body was pressed against her. A stone happened to hit his back. Sean protected Emma''s head with his left hand, and tried his best to support his body with his right hand, for fear of crushing her. But even so, Emma was still pressed under him, unable to move at all. Sean''s right hand resting on the ground was still wrapped in white gauze, which was firmly suppressed by Emma. From time to time, there were stones rolling down beside him. Sean pulled out his right hand and stood up again to hug Emma up. The wounded hand was detached from the gauze. The flesh was out, and the skin that had just grown on it was lifted off again, revealing fresh blood. N?velDrama.Org ? content. Emma was shocked and stretched out her hand to grab his right wrist hand which hugged her, "What''s wrong with your hand?" "Hold me tight. Just leave it alone!" Being held in Sean''s arms, Emma''s face was very close to him. She could even feel his breath. There was sweat on Sean''s forehead. Emma didn''t know if he was tired or painful. Seeing that they were approaching the bottom of the hillside, Joey also rushed over. He nced at Sean, then his eyes fell on the back of Sean¡¯s bloody hand. Joey stretched out his hand and wanted to take Emma. But Sean didn''t mean to hand Emma to him, but directly said, "Go to call an ambnce." After finishing speaking, he hugged Emma and walked around Joey, and went straight to the rest area. Suddenly being ordered by Sean, Joey was stunned for a few seconds before turning around and following. ... Almost all the people on the hillside hade back. There was a mess in rest area. The staffs of the ski resort rushed over to help take care of the wounded. Many people were injured, mostly lightly injured, and a few seriously injured. The management of the ski resort urgently contacted ambnces. Meanwhile, they took the seriously injured to the treatment room. The treatment room was small, which was already upied by a few seriously injured patients and their families. The rescuers in the ski resort were too busy. Julia and Rowling also rushed to help in time. Chapter 52 Im Not That Easy to Die Chapter 52 I''m Not That Easy to Die Emma was held in Sean''s arms all the time. Joey ran over pantingly and anxiously said, "The treatment room is already busy, and the rescue conditions here are limited. I''m afraid Emma will get the internal organs hurt. Do we wait for the ambnce toe...?" Sean looked at Emma¡¯s face getting paler and paler in his arms. Without thinking about it, he turned and walked out of the rest area. "Hey? Where are you taking her?" Joey shouted, standing behind him. Sean didn''t turn his head back, and kept walking, "Go to the hospital. Here is far from the Central Hospital. There will be a while before the ambnce arrives." Upon hearing this, Joey shouted, "I will go too!" ... Along the way, Joey sat in the driving position and drove the car fast. Sitting in the passenger seat, Winnie looked back from time to time with an anxious expression on her face, "Emma, hold on. We will be here soon." Sean and Emma sat in the back seats. Emma was almost half lying in his arms. Apart from the pain, Emma didn''t have other feelings. She weakly forced a smile at Winnie, "Don''t worry. I won''t die so easily." Winnie forced a smile when she heard the words, but her smile was uglier than crying. Emma closed her eyes painfully and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Sean''s eyes. Sean kept looking down at her, and never looked away. Feeling Sean''s caring gaze, Emma felt at ease. Emma saw the nervousness in his eyes. Sean''s injured hand still held her tightly. Something in Emma''s body seemed to be slowly blooming quietly, but it was warm. Seeing such a good face, she couldn''t see it enough. Sean also changed his usual style. Today, his eyes were all her, and he didn¡¯t look away. ... In the emergency room of the Army General Hospital, Emma was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling nkly. The doctor took off his mask after performing aplete physical examination on her, "It¡¯s not serious. Fortunately, it didn''t hit any important organs, so there is no danger to life." After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, there was a bruise on Emma''s belly that was the size of a fist, which made her breathe painfully. Emma turned her head to look for Sean. After listening to the doctor''s words, Sean turned around and went out. No one noticed where he went. ... When Officer Brown came to the hospital, Emma had been sent to the ward. Officer Brown was escorted in by the dean and a few experts. Winnie, who was frightened by such a scene, stood aside and didn''t dare to breath heavily. She secretly praised Officer Brown so awesome countless times. The dean personally stood in front of Officer Brown and talked about Emma''s situation to him. Hearing that Emma was fine, Officer Brown was finally relieved. Only as soon as the dean and the experts walked away, Officer Brown picked up his crutch. Before Emma could hide herself, Joey had already suffered a hit on the leg. Joey yelled and jumped up, hiding behind Winnie. He was looking at Officer Brown with the fear in his eyes. Officer Brown pointed at Emma on the hospital bed with his crutch, and then pointed at Joey, "I knew you guys went out and caused me trouble again. You guys really dared to lie to me!" After saying that, he hit Joey behind Winnie again. Joey couldn''t hide himself. He could only cover his head and reached the door along the root of the wall. Then he opened the door and ran out. Winnie''s face turned pale in fright. She stood stiffly in front of the hospital bed, not daring to move. Officer Brown was old, but he was still very strong. Officer Brown nced at Winnie and then took the crutches back, without saying anything. Emma, who was on the hospital bed, had already pulled the quilt over her neck and covered half of her face. She stared at Grandpa carefully and said, "Grandpa, you can''t me Joey. I called him..." Before Emma''s words were finished, Officer Brown already shouted, "Do you still dare to speak for him?! If it wasn''t for your injury today, I would have already broken your legs!" After being yelled by her grandpa like this, Emma shut up in an instant, revealing only a pair of big eyes. She looked at her grandpa secretly from under the covers. The door was pushed open from the outside. Someone was walking in. Officer Brown thought it was Joey. He turned his back to the door, and didn''t look back with a cold face. It was Winnie who discovered Sean first. She hurried over and asked, "Mr. Sean, are your hands okay?" Sean raised his head and looked at Winnie, then faintly responded, "It''s okay." Hearing Sean''s voice, Officer Brown turned around. Sean walked to the hospital bed a few steps, nced at Emma, then he turned to face Officer Brown, and greeted, "Officer Brown..." Officer Brown came to Sean and looked at him, "Sean, thanks to you today." "Never mind. As long as she is fine." Sean replied calmly. Officer Brown nodded, turned around and sat next to Emma. He eased his tone. His brows and eyes were filled with sorrow. He looked at Emma''s face and said, "You''re not the same as your mother. She was so obedient..." When Officer Brown mentioned Emma''s mother, Emma''s small face dropped and said nothing.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Officer Brown continued, "Even if you don''t think about yourself, you should always think about me, okay? I''m so old. If something happens to you, when I pass away, how can I exin to your mother?" Emma knew that her grandpa was so sad. So she said, "Sorry, Grandpa, I know I was wrong..." The attitude of admitting mistakes was good, which made Officer Brown feel a little morefortable. He stretched out his big palm and patted on the top of her head. Then he stood up and said, "Well, since the doctor said that you are fine, just follow me back after finishing the intravenous drip. It¡¯s New Year''s Eve today. How can we stay at the hospital?" Emma nodded hurriedly. She didn''t dare to refute what her grandpa said at this moment. Officer Brown was invited to the office by the dean, leaving only Sean and Winnie in the ward. Winnie stood in front of the hospital bed for a while. She looked at Emma, and then at Sean. She always felt that it was unnecessary for her to stand here, so she escaped from the ward, saying that she had to call her parents. Winnie was not stupid. Although Emma did not admit it, Winnie knew that Emma had already loved with Sean. But how about Sean? There was a hint of sentiment in his eyes when he looked at Emma, but where did this sentimente from? Winnie didn''t know. Even so, she still had a hint of suspicion. In any case, she felt that Sean didn¡¯t simply treat Emma as his younger generation to take care of. Chapter 53 Scald Chapter 53 Scald The ward became quiet. Emma was a little ufortable. Her heartbeat was so fast. Sean''s eyes kept on her face, which made her a little afraid to look at him. After calming down for a while, Emma sat up from the hospital bed, enduring the pain. She looked up at Sean''s newly bandaged right hand, and asked, "What happened to your hand?" "Scald." Sean''s tone was faint. Emma took a breath. Scald had been the most tormenting skin trauma since ancient times. It hurt. Recalling that he pulled out his right hand under her, Emma couldn''t even think about how painful it was... Sean did not sit down. He just stood not far from the bed. There was a brief silence between the two. The atmosphere was a bit weird. Emma tried to find some topics, but her mind was nk. Facing a deserted person like Sean, she really didn''t know what topic would interest him. Before Emma found out the topic, Sean spoke first, "In the future, you''d better to stay away from Joey. If something happens, he will only make thing worse and can''t help much." "..." Emma looked at him in surprise. She didn''t understand when Sean had such a big prejudice against Joey. Then, Sean turned and walked towards the door. Seeing Sean was about to leave, Emma hurriedly called Sean¡¯s name without thinking too much. Sean turned around and looked at her. His eyes were deep. The emotions in his eyes made Emma unable to understand. However, she bit the bullet and asked, "Why do you show up every time when I am in danger?" Sean frowned and did not answer. Emma still looked at him seriously, "Why are you so good to me? You know what happened today is very dangerous. If it¡¯s a big stone to hit you, it is very likely that you will die. But why did you still rush to rescue me?" Sean frowned deeper. He was staring at Emma. After a long time, he calmly said, "That''s what I should do..." Emma couldn''t understand. She blurted out, "Did you owe me anything?" Sean tilted his head. He looked impatient, "No!" Emma was stunned by his attitude. Sean turned around and opened the door of the ward. Before leaving, he turned his head and said, "Don''t call my name from now on. Call me Uncle!" On New Year''s Eve. Ivan sat alone in the high-end duplex apartment, keeping his eyes on the watch on the coffee table. It was a cheap mechanical watch, which was no longer worthy of his identity. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. He didn''t throw it away. Because it was Emma who bought it for him with a month''s sry... The host on the TV was speaking auspicious remarks that had remained unchanged for several years. Snow began to flutter outside the house. Ivan finished smoking a cigarette with a cold face. After the cigarette butt was put out in the ashtray, he lowered his head for a long time and did not lift it up again. Today was Emma''s birthday. He hadn''t forgotten it. The phone lying quietly on the sofa was picked up by him again. He dialed the phone number which was already imprinted in his mind again and again. But he could only hear the manual service prompt of the cold machine, ¡°The user you dialed is turned off.¡± Throwing the phone aside, he took another cigarette and put it in his mouth. The bluish white smoke was rising. Large fireworks were crackling outside the window. Getting up from the sofa, he poured himself a ss of water and stood by the window to drink it. The next moment, he seemed to think of something. Then he turned and walked in the direction of the coffee table. Putting the water cup on the coffee table, he picked up thendline phone and dialed Emma''s cell phone number. The beep sound made his heart sink slowly. As expected... Emma''s voice rang on the other end, with azy tone, "Hello? This is Emma, who is it?" Listening to the familiar voice, Ivan''s mood was mixed. His anger at the beginning slowly became to sorrow. Emma''s voice was still there, "Why don''t you speak? Do you make a mistake??" Ivan hung up the phone, his chest rising and falling violently. He swept all the things on the coffee table to the ground, including the mechanical watch that was still very new. He was angry and frustrated. His depression could not vent, which made him feel ufortable. An abrupt doorbell rang at the door of the living room, gradually pulling his thoughts back. He raised his head and nced at the clock on the wall. Then he frowned, crossed the mess, and walked towards the door... The appearance of Kate shocked Ivan. "Why are you here? Are you not at home with your father on New Year''s Eve?" Ivan asked calmly. Kate smiled and brought the insted lunch box in her hand to his eyes, "Most of the restaurants outside are closed today. I am worried that you can''t eat well by yourself, so I brought dumplings." Ivan didn''t say anything. After letting Kate in, he turned and walked into the living room first. Kate could see that Ivan seemed to be in a bad mood today, so she did not dare to ask more, and just followed him into the living room. In front of the sofa, Kate stopped. She looked at the mess on the ground and asked with a puzzled look, "What''s going on here? What happened?" "Nothing." Ivan replied faintly, squatting on the ground, and reaching out to pick the things on the ground back to the coffee table. Kate also hurriedly put down the insted lunch box and squatted down to help. However, before her hand stretched out, her gaze fell on a silver-gray watch. She knew this watch. In order to buy this watch for Ivan, Emma sent photos from abroad, asking her if it looked good... Ivan picked up the watch in front of her, put it back in the watch box, and closed the lid gently. Kate''s face was a little pale. She slowly picked up the water cup, raised her head, but saw Ivan carrying the box with the watch to the study. ... When Ivan came out of the study, Kate had cleaned up the living room and was standing alone in the kitchen, heating dumplings. "Have you heard from Emma recently?" Kate stood in the kitchen, pretending to ask casually. Ivan turned his head and said, "No." Kate brought out the hot dumplings and put them on the dining table, and then helped him squeeze a ss of pear juice, "You always cough recently. You should smoke less..." "Hmm..." Ivan responded and picked up his chopsticks. Kate saw that Ivan was eating deliciously, and finally smiled. She always remembers Ivan¡¯s preferences. He liked to eat dumplings. He did not like garlic, but he liked to put some sugar in the dipping sauce, and he preferred to drink a ss of pear juice after a meal. All of these were told by Emma. Chapter 54 It’s Too Late! You Should Go Home! Chapter 54 It¡¯s Too Late! You Should Go Home! Kate looked at his perfect side face. She felt so warm. In her eyes, Ivan was always perfect. "Why don''t you bring your parents here for the New Year together? It¡¯s so lonely that you spend the New Year alone." Kate suddenly asked. Ivan''s hand of holding the chopsticks paused. He stopped eating dumplings. Kate didn''t seem to realize Ivan''s abnormality, and continued saying with blushing, "We have been together for so long. Should I see your parents..." Before Kate finished speaking, Ivan put down his chopsticks and got up. Seeing Ivan suddenly stopped eating, Kate was a little confused. She stood up and asked, "Why don''t you eat anymore? Is it not delicious?" Ivan walked to the coffee table, picked up the cigarette case and took out a cigarette. He lowered his head to light it. After a while, he said, "It''s toote. You should go home..." Kate''s face turned pale. She was staring at Ivan with a little loss, "Sorry, did I say something wrong?" Ivan turned his head. His eyes were gentle. After a long sigh, he walked to her and hugged her into his arms. Feeling Ivan''s sudden change, Kate felt nervous. During this period of time, Ivan¡¯s mood had often been unpredictable. Sometimes, he was not like him. She would observe his looks when she was speaking. Although she had always been good at observing others, in front of Ivan, she found that she couldn''t see through him at all. Maybe this was exactly why Ivan attracted her... Ivan''s voice sounded above her head, "I have be ustomed to be alone. If you want see my parents, we can wait until the New Year is over." Hearing what Ivan said, Kate finally breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded, and said, "I don¡¯t want to see you alone. I can stay here to apany you..." Ivan let go of Kate. After staring at her fixedly for a moment, he finally nodded. ... In the Brown¡¯s House. Emma put the phone down with a puzzled expression on her face. Officer Brown was standing on the balcony and was calling her name. Emma walked toward the balcony with her slipper. Officer Brown held the crutch and looked out. The colorful fireworks in the sky bloomed one after another, lighting up the whole night sky, beaming with joy. Officer Brown said to himself, "When your cousin was young, he would take the initiative to set off firecrackers every New Year¡¯s Eve. Unfortunately, after he went to France, there was not even a boy at home. It was too quiet and I always felt it is not like the New Year." ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Emma knew that her grandpa missed the grandson, but she had no ways. Emma''s uncle and aunt lived apart all the year round. Their rtionship was not good. Her cousin had been taken care of by his mother, so it wasmon that he was not close to Officer Brown. Officer Brown sighed. He turned his head to look at Emma, patted the top of her head, and said, "When will you bring your boyfriend back to visit me?" When being asked this question suddenly, Emma blushed and muttered, "I¡¯m still young!" Officer Brown smiled happily and nodded in response, "Yeah, I just have only you, a beloved baby. I don''t want to let those stinky boys cheat you. If you find a boyfriend in the future, you must take him home and let me see first. So, you have to be wise up." Emma didn¡¯t know why Sean popped into her mind when she thought of who could spend the rest time with her. Just when she was lost in thoughts, Officer Brown had turned around and returned to the living room. The shows on TV were lively... ... Emma stood alone on the balcony for a while. The mobile phone in the living room rang. Maggie let her go in to answer the phone, and then she turned and went into the living room. The call was from Winnie. She had already flown back to Shanghai at 5 pm. Now, she was already at home and spent New Year''s Eve with her family. Emma was afraid of disturbing her grandpa''s watching TV, so she took her mobile phone to the second floor. In the bedroom, Emma was lying on the bed, listening to the noisy voice of Winnie on the phone. Emma knew that Winnie lived in a big family. It was said that dozens of people gathered together during the holidays and festivals, which was very lively. Emma waited for the phone to be quiet, and then asked, "Your dad didn''t scold you? You hurried back sote." Winnie on the other end of the phone smiled heartlessly, "Don''t worry. As long as I am willing to go back, my dad will treat me well. So he won''t be angry with me." Emma was a little envious that Winnie could be apanied by so many rtives, and the family was harmonious, unlike herself. "By the way, Emma, are you okay? Does it still hurt?" Emma touched her belly and said, "It''s much better. It''s just numb if I don''t touch it. I can''t feel the pain anymore." Speaking of what happened at the ski resort today, Winnie was still a little scared. She said to herself, "Thanks to Mr. Sean, or you must get bad injury." Emma wasn''t very afraid, but instead thought of the look in Sean''s eyes. She had some feelings. Winnie on the other end of the phone said something, but Emma didn''t hear her. At this moment, there was an impulse in her mind. She interrupted Winnie''s chattering and suddenly said, "Winnie, why is Sean so good to me?" Winnie was suddenly interrupted for a moment, then she hesitated, "Isn''t he your uncle?" "Shit Uncle! My father''s surname is Powell. His surname is Knight. What kind of uncle does he count as me?" Emma retorted. Winnie on the other end of the phone swallowed hard and stuttered, "Emma, Emma, what do you mean?" Emma''s heart was filled with excitement and then she said, "Winnie, if I tell you that I like him, would you think I''m crazy?" There was a strong cough from Winnie on the phone, as if she was choking after listening to Emma''s words. After a while, Winnie calmed down and said, "Are you crazy? You gave yourself up for Ivan more than half a month ago. Now, you fall in love with another guy? You have to figure it out. Although Sean looks really good, he is so much older than you. Are you sure you are suitable for him?" After saying this, Emma actually regretted a little. She even began to wonder if she was impulsive. Someone on the other end of the phone was calling Winnie''s name, "Winnie,e here for dinner." Soon, Winnie said hurriedly, "I will call youter. I have to have dinner first. There are many rules in my family. My grandfather will be unhappy if I gote." "Okay." Before Emma finished speaking, Winnie had already hung up the phone. Emma was lying on the bed alone, holding a mobile phone that was still hot, and staring at the ceiling in a daze. Chapter 55 Ivans Parents Chapter 55 Ivan''s Parents After a while, she turned over, sat up on the big bed, took the phone to her eyes, found Sean''s number in the address book, and edited a text message. ¡°Happy New Year!¡± Emma didn''t expect him to reply after she texted such a message. After sending the message out, she lay back on the bed and fell asleep in a daze after a while. Emma didn''t sleep well. She didn''t have a quilt on her body. She felt cold and hot, and her belly hurt from time to time. Even in this case, she was having a dream. In her dream, she went back to the fall of her 17 years old. Another city far away from L City had been raining heavily for three consecutive days. She stood alone in the lobby of the airport. In order to prevent the check in her bag from getting wet, she waited all night before she dared to walk out. There was an elevated highway outside the airport. The taxi driver refused to driver under the elevated highway because there was already full of stagnant water. It was too risky to drive past. In order to catch up with the first bus early in the morning, Emma exhausted all her energy to get the ticket. When she arrived at the center of R City, Emma got into a taxi and went straight to Ivan''s home. Ivan''s parents'' house was still there, but they had already been taken away by the police. Emma stood for a while. When the dwindling rain suddenly became heavy again, she could only turn around and leave... In a McDonald, Emma waited for the person she wanted to see. The person put his umbre away before entering, but his trousers and shoes were still soaking wet. The man sat opposite her, looked at her immature face, and was speechless for a moment. Emma pretended to be calm and ordered a drink for the man, but she swallowed first nervously. "Are you?" The man looked at her puzzledly. Emma did not answer his question, but lowered her head and put the well-preserved check in her bag on the table and pushed it to his eyes. The man lowered his head and nced at the check. The amount showed 8 million. He was a little surprised. Emma looked at him earnestly, her face pale and her lips still trembling. She said, "Lawyer Harrell, please save Marshall Barnes and his wife..." Hearing this, Harrell''s face sank. He stared at Emma in surprise. After a long time, he asked, "Who are you?" Emma lowered her head, biting her lip without speaking. Harrell no longer nced at the check on the table. He got up to leave. Emma grabbed his wrist from behind. Some tears welled up into her big eyes. The look in her eyes was heartwarming and distressing. Harrell stopped, sighed, and sat back on his seat, clenching his hands on the table. He said, "It''s not that I don''t save them. This matter is too involved and there is no possibility of winning the case." Emma didn''t care about this. Her little white hand stretched out across the table, grabbing his arm tightly, fearing that he would suddenly leave. "Lawyer Harrell, I know that only you dare to take this case, and only you can save them. If you think that the money is not enough, you can offer a price. I will pay as much as you want. I have the money..." Emma didn''t want to give up this only opportunity. Beforeing to R City, she had learned about Harrell''s information in advance. Although he was about 25 years old, he was a new star among so many youngwyers, and also a weird guy. He himself only epted difficult cases, especially those that seemed to have no chance of winning. As long as he epted the case, he would win the case without exception, so he had be famous. As his fame had risen, more and more people had invited him. In recent years, his price in the legal world had also risen, even outrageously. Emma was worried that he thought the money was not enough. But if the problem was really that the money was not enough, maybe there was still the chance. She could go back to the Powell family. The worst situation was that she went to beg her grandpa and uncle. She didn''t believe that she couldn''t afford to pay. Harrell looked at Emma who was so sincere. Finally, he sighed, and said, "Little girl, although I don''t know what you have to do with Marshall Barnes and his wife, I can tell you that even if Marshall Barnes can escape the death penalty, he still has to be punished. Since you are willing to pay such a high price to defend him, I would like to know, how much do you know about the Barnes family?" Emma saw that Harrell was willing to sit down and talk to herself about this matter. She saw some hope. She let go of Harrell''s hand and whispered, "To be honest, I don''t know much." Harrell seemed to have expected the answer a long time ago, reluctantly retracted his gaze, and nodded. "Marshall Barnes''s crime is not simply about bribery. To put it bluntly, the invitation for bids was a trap, just waiting for them to get in and then to arrest them. Those who can be targeted by the senior officials naturallymitted big crimes. If it¡¯s just about this, maybe I can try..." Emma''s eyes brightened, "Then why are you still refusing to take the case?" Harrell looked up at Emma again. Maybe Emma was special, which made him unable to say the words to refuse, or maybe he paid too much attention to this matter, so he was unwilling to give it up. "I said, this is just one aspect of it. Now this matter has risen to another level. Do you know how many people died in the amusement park inhtional dust poisoning incident 7 years ago?" Emma was shocked. She was still young 7 years ago, but she still had an impression of this incident. At that time, the media had reported extensively, so she knew the deaths of more than 20 people who died after being rescued. Emma''s face turned pale in an instant. She raised her head in disbelief and looked at Harrell, "But what does this matter have to do with Marshall Barnes?" Seeing Emma''s innocence, Harrell sighed and pushed the check back in front of her, "I can only say that. I think you should understand..." N?velDrama.Org ? content. When Harrell picked up the umbre and went out, the rain outside had stopped. Emma, whose clothes were still wet, ran out, and stretched out her slender arm to block his way. Harrell frowned. Emma''s face was pale, but her eyes were very firm. She said, "If Lewis, Officer Brown, asked me to come to you, would you still refuse?" The sudden ringtone of the phone awakened Emma from her dream. Emma opened her eyes. It took her a long time to get the phone. There was a message, and it was from Sean. Emma came to her senses quickly. She couldn''t help feeling a little excited. She clicked on the text message, with a hint of excitement on her face. The content was only two words, ¡°Thank you!¡± Emma was a little discouraged. She was biting her nails and thinking about this person was really dull. She could even imagine how serious his face would be when he texted this message. Chapter 56 Fuddy-duddy Chapter 56 Fuddy-duddy She threw the phone aside, muttering, ¡°Can¡¯t you rely me with a few more words? Fuddy-duddy!¡± As her words fell, footsteps of Maggie were sounded outside the door. ¡°Are you asleep, Miss Emma? Mr. Lewis told me to ask you to go downstairs for dumplings.¡± Asked Maggie, standing at the door. Hearing the word of dumplings, Emma felt headache. When she was in Britain, she cooked many times for Ivan for he liked to eat dumplings. She used not to like dumplings, and because if that, she felt dizzy when she saw dumplings. But in order to consider the feelings of her grandpa, Emmazily climbed up from the bed and shouted to the door, ¡°Ok, I will there.¡± Maggie heard it and then her footsteps quickly disappeared in the stair. After a sneeze, Emma felt pain in her stomach and felt dizzy when she stood up. ¡­. In the dinning room of the first floor, Lewis scooped the source to his te with his spoon and said to Emma who was going downstairs, ¡°Come and taste Maggie¡¯s dumplings, it is fill with seafood. You will love it.¡± Emma made a sneeze. She was reluctant but still sat at the table and picked up the chopsticks. Maggie helped her with the source and noticed she did not look good when she looked up at Emma. Before having the first dumplings, Emma could not help but make a sneeze. Lewis looked at her, stretched out his hand to feel her forehead and then sand to Maggie, ¡°Get the thermometer.¡± When Emma grabbed the thermometer from her armpit in a daze, she was stunned. 39.7 degree! N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Maggie was not in a mood to have dumplings now, but went to get febrifuge and cook ginger soup. It was not until 2 o¡¯clock in the morning, Emma¡¯s fever subsided. Lying in bed, Emma was covered with two think quilts with the help of Maggie and soon she got sweat all over, even so, she still got runny nose and sneezed. When she looked outside the window, she got the firework became less and the sound of firecrackers was not as loud as before. It was a new year and she had a heart quaking birthday. ¡­ She had a sound sleep this night and it was not until ten and half in the next day, she woke up in a daze. After the fever, she got weal all over and her stomach got growling. She put of the fluffy clothes and went downstairs for food before she washed her face. Because Grandpa Lewis had taken care of herst night, he was still in sleep. But as she walked out of her bedroom, she heard conversation downstairs. She was stunned first and stopped in the stairs and looked down over the handrails. Expect for Grandpa Lewis, there was an unknown man on the sofa. He was in his 30s wearing a loren gray suit, which was fit to his body shape. This color could not be handled easily, it would be tulent for order man and would be exaggerated of younger man. But it was perfect in this man. His moves were elegant and decent. His side face was handsome and his body was in a good shape. After appreciating this man, she then felt familiar, but she could not remember when she had seen him. There was growling again from her stomach. Whatever, she¡¯d better ger some food from Maggie. Emma wanted to pass around the living room and went straight to the kitchen, but she got the attention of Lewis and that man. That man was talking with Lewis, but as he saw Emma, he stopped. Lewis nced at Emma and said angrily, ¡°You are not polite,e over!¡± The man fixed his eyes on Emma and showed a faint smile on his face. As Emma looked at him, she found that this man was really good looking. He looked nice and modest, she did not dislike him. Reluctantly, Emma walked to the sofa and then stopped there. Lewis held her arms and pulled her to his side and introduced her to the man, ¡°Harrell, this is Emma, my granddaughter, she has just back from Brian and you have never seen her before¡­¡± With that, he nced at Emma again and said, ¡°He is Harrell, a son of my friend¡­¡± Harrell?! As his voice fell, Emma turned pale on face, she was shocked like a frightened kitten and almost jumped up. She was obviously surprised and looked at him speechlessly. She regretted a lot at this moment. Why she was hungry at this moment, why she went downstairs at this moment? No wonder he looked familiar. Harrel noticed that Emma was panic. He took back his sights and nodded with aposed smile. Emma felt her heartbeat missing a beat. She kept her eyes on her for fear that he would do something so that Lewis would find something wrong. However, Maggie came over at this hour. She came to Lewis and handed him the phone, ¡°This is Mr. Mike¡¯s call from France.¡± Emma knew it was her cousin called to say happy new year. Lewis took the phone with a smile, and said to Harrell, ¡°You talk to Emma first, I go answer the phone.¡± Harrell nodded and saw Lewis going upstairs. Emma stood in the front of Harrell stiffly. She did not know if she should go or stay. She was not sure why Harrell was there. Maggie was afraid that Lewis would fall down since he was answering the phone while going upstairs, so she went to support him. Seeing Lewis and Maggie disappeared at the door of the study on the second floor, Emma turned around and looked at Harrell. Sure enough, Harrell was staring at her with a modest smile. ¡°It¡¯s been three years, how are you?¡± His voice was pleasing to hear. Compared to him three years ago, he did change. He had a new hair style was more mature and composed with noble temperament. Emma sat down on the sofa opposite him and asked, staring at him, ¡°Have you told my grandpa that I looked for you that year?¡± Harrell shook his head, ¡°No.¡± Hearing that, Emma took a sigh of relief. Looking at her silently, Harrell knew what she was worried about. As Emma was to say something, Lewis has walked down from the second floor. Like sitting on a hot iron, Emma jumped up from the sofa, turned around and wanted to go upstairs. Chapter 57 Guilty Chapter 57 Guilty Before Lewis knew exactly what was going on, Harrell''s voice came from behind him, ¡°Emma, if you are avable, can you walk with me? I haven''t been back for at least two years. I heard that arge magnificent bridge has been built on the Guyou River nearby, and I have always wanted to see it.¡± Go to the bridge in winter to feel the north wind? Emma knew it was an excuse and he must have something to say to her Emma turned around and looked at the familiar and gentle face of Harrell. Feeling guilty, she dared not refuse...... Emma went upstairs to change a dress and followed him out of the door. Sending them to the door, Maggie looked at Harrell and Emma walked out together, she then closed the door and smiled at Lewis, ¡°You are right, Miss Emma and Harrel are matched. When they stand together, it is enviable.¡± Lewis smiled proudly, ¡°Who I am? I have never made a mistake in judging people. If Emily had listened to me, she would not have...¡± Lewis was upset, Maggie knew he was sad, so she changed the topic, ¡°Harrell has sessful career, and he is handsome. He asked Miss Emma out, I think he had fancy on her.¡± Lewis agreed with Maggie and nodded, ¡°I hope I have not wasted my time. Emma is still young. I am afraid that she may meet a wrong man just like her mother...¡± Then he fell into a deep thought. Seeing that, Maggieforted him and went to work. ... The Brown¡¯s vi was neither far nor near to Guyou River. It took only a few minutes by car, or more than 40 minutes on foot. Harrell chose to walk. It was the first day of the New Year, so there were few people on the street. It was not the time to set off firecrackers and the street was rtively quiet. Emma had been following Harrel silently and even had not raised her head. Harrel always looked back at her after a few steps. When he saw her behind him, he continued walking forward. After more than 10 minutes, Harrell finally stopped, turned around and asked, ¡°Are you afraid of me?¡± Yes, Emma¡¯ heart had been in her throat. She was not only afraid that Harrell would tell her grandfather she tried to save Marshall, but also afraid the Harrell would mention it again. Because she knew that his reputation was ruined for this case. In other words, it was Emma who ruined his bright future. She could not return the favor. Harrell took his hand out of his coat pocket, grasped Emma''s wrist, pulled her to the position beside him, and released his hand. He looked at her with a smile. ¡°I don''t like people walking behind me.¡± Emma took a deep breath, looked up and looked straight at him, ¡°Lawyer Harrel, thank you for helping me save Marshall''s life, save him from the death penalty into a fixed-term imprisonment. But I was younger then, and I really didn''t expect it would turn out like this, and make you...¡± Emma knew she could not avoid it. Harrell looked at her seriously. After she expressed her thought, he said, ¡°I never me you, it was my choice, and...... I''m no longer awyer. Call me Harrell.¡± Emma bowed her head, feeling her heard be pricked by something. If he did not say that he was no longer awyer, she might feel better. There were cars passing by quickly. Harrell subconsciously pulled Emma to the left side from the right side and let her walk inside. Emma sighed, ¡°My grandfather doesn''t know about it yet. I''ve never mentioned it to him. I think if he knows, he will be very angry with me.¡± Harrel nodded his head and understood Emma¡¯s thought. ¡°I never thought of telling him about this, either. What''s the point of mentioning it when it''s all over?¡± Emma took a look at him gratefully, but she said in the end , ¡°I''m sorry......¡± Harrell smiled and looked toward the distant Guyou River. After a while, he seemed to remember something. Turning to Emma, he asked, ¡°Did your grandfather know that you sold liver on the ck market in Britain?¡± Emma shook her head in panic and looked at him with a pair of pleading eyes, ¡°Don''t tell him.¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Harrel was stunned at first and then smiled, ¡°Do you usually look at people with this kind of eyes?¡± His question was baffling. Emma did not get him, ¡°What...... Eyes?¡± Harrell shook his head helplessly, walked alone in front, and said nothing. ... It was windy by the Guyou River. Emma had been trying to hold her long hair blown up. Harrell looked at the river, ¡°Do you regret doing so much for Ivan?¡± Hearing that, Emma did not know how to answer. Regret it? She never thought about it. She even thought that if there was no Kate, even if it happened now, based on her own personality, she might do the same for Ivan. But time went by, people changed. Ivan changed, she changed. Now it seemed that it had nothing to do with her, so there was nothing to regret. Emma looked back at him, ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Hearing that, Harrell smiled. Emma¡¯s face tensed. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, ¡°Do you know much about the affair between ma and Ivan?¡± Harrell nodded directly, ¡°Yes, I know it well.¡± Emma did not understand, frowned and looked at him with her head tilted. She felt Harrell was sinister and did something that she could not understand. Even so, she still did not feel he was a bad man, but had her secret being known, she felt ufortable. Harrell seemed to understand what was in her mind and exined, ¡°I did not deliberately to pry into your privacy, it was about the job. You used your grandfather to impose me pressure to save Marshall and his wife, I naturally needed to get to know the truth. But I was shocked to know that you did that for Ivan.¡± Emma¡¯s face changed. She looked at him in surprise, ¡°Since you knew it was not my grandfather¡¯s authority, you took the case not because of him?¡± ¡°No.¡± Harrell gave a gentle smile and said with a serious smile. For no reason, Emma felt the emotion in Harrel¡¯s eyes wereplex and she did not want to explore it. Chapter 58 Expressions are Unpredictable Chapter 58 Expressions are Unpredictable ... There were visitors came to the Riverside Knight''s house. Charles 94 years old was sleepy after being busy for a morning even though he was healthy. Rachel sent him back to the room and the living room finally fell into silence. Sean took out a cigarette, lowered his head, lit it up, walked to the window and looked toward the Guyou River. The Knight was in a good location, where he could see the beautiful scenery of the Guyou River. The blue and white smoke was slowly spit out by Sean from the mouth. The two figures on the bridge attracted all his attention. A man and a woman stood opposite each other, like a couple, very close together. The man was tall,posed and elegant. Although his face could not be seen clearly, but from the shape and the elegant dress, he knew that he was not an ordinary person. Sean put his eyes on the woman. By just a nce, his smoking action stopped. Although Emma basically had her back to him, he could recognize her at a nce, her figure, her dress, and the bag on her shoulder that had been used to smash him... The man on the bridge was reaching out to put Emma''s hood on for her, and they switched position, as if he was shielding her from the wind with his body. Sean narrowed his eyes, with expression changed unpredictably. The mobile phone had been in his hands...... ... Emma stood on the bridge. Her face went pale because she was cold. As Harrell helped her to put on the hood, Emma was shocked. Harrell''s action was light and he had no superfluous expression, which was natural as an old friend. There was no sense of difort. Emma felt shocked and curved her mouth with a smile. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°It is windy. Let''s go back.¡± Harrell said calmly. As Emma was to speak, the phone in the bag suddenly rang. Wagging her hand to Harrell, she pulled the phone out of her bag and paused as she nced at the caller ID. The phone stopped after two rings. It was from Sean. Emma looked at the missed call feeling uneasy. Without hesitation, she called back. Harrell looked at her movement and waited quietly. No one answered the phone after a long call. When Emma thought Sean would not answer the phone, it got through. Emma''s heart beat was faster. Sean connected to the phone, but did not speak. ¡°Hello? Did you call me?¡± Emma spoke in a small voice, feeling nervous. He was silent for a while, and then he finally spoke, ¡°I called the wrong person!¡± Before Emma said a word, Sean had decisively hung up the phone. Emma could hear that his tone was bad. Emma was confused and wondered if she had done anything to offend him. He made a face again! Emma moved the phone away from her ear and her depressed expression was caught by Harrell. Harrell asked with a smile, ¡°From Ivan?¡± Emma came back to her sese, shook her hand and said calmly, ¡°No, I have broken up with him.¡± Harrell was surprised first and then gave an elegant smile. However, Emma felt Harrell was intentional. He must have known it. ... After sending Emma back to the house, Harrel did not go in. He regretted that he took Emma out, because Emma had a high fever on the way back After asking, he knew that she had been illst night and had not recovered from a cold. However, he felt relieved as Emma had gone home. His phone kept ringing in his pocket and he did not pick it up till Maggie took Emma in. Over the phone, there was a voice, ¡°We will gather tonight, will youe?¡± Harrell took a look at the Brown¡¯s house, turned around and walked toward his car. He said to his cell phone, ¡°I''ll go back to take a bath and change my clothes. I''ll meet you at the old ce...¡± -- -- -- In the Emgrand International Private Club, Edward booked a private room in advance. The privacy of this club was rtively higher than the ordinary club. There was no other inappropriate services, rtively speaking, it wasmercial. Most of the customers were celebrities or business negotiations team. Harrell was getting out of a ck Lexus when Sean backed into the parking space. Sitting in the car Sean saw Harrell. Harrell first smiled. He stood there watching Sean parked the car and got off. When Sean approached, Harrell called out, ¡°Sean.¡± Sean turned around and locked the car with the remote control key. Then he looked back at Harrell. ¡°When did you get back?¡± Harrell smiled all the time. ¡°This morning.¡± Sean patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°Don''t you need topany your grandfather?¡± Harrell smile faintly and said, ¡°Since I havee back, I don''t n to leave, so I will have a lot of time to apany him. Besides, Edward doesn¡¯t apany him either.¡± Hearing the words, Sean paused for a moment and then nodded his head with a smile. Indeed, Edward and Harrell were Cousins had grown up together.

Seeing Harrell and Sean walked in together, Edward made a joke, ¡°Do you have a woman to serve you at home? You are so reluctant toe out. You two arete.¡± Sean and Harrell looked at each other, but neither of them answered Edward. They then sit down. Harper was the oldest among these people. He had a wife and children. The rest were single. Harper picked up the ss, said a few words to wee Harrell back and then they clinked the sses. As they drank, the atmosphere gradually became lively. Harper took the food for himself, and raised his head to look at Harrell while eating, and asked, ¡°Harrell, do you really not go this time?¡± Harrell put down his chopsticks, looked up and replied, ¡°If there is no ident, it should be like this.¡± ¡°What do you mean no ident? What ident could it be?¡± Harper said with a smile. Before Harrell could speak, Edward swallowed a mouthful of food and took over the conversation. ¡°Harper,¡± he said, ¡°You know, my grandfather asked him toe back this time just for the blind date!¡± Chapter 59 Urgh Chapter 59 Urgh Hearing the words of blind date, everyoneughed out. Harper looked at Edward and said in a sarcastic way, ¡°You should first have blind date, shouldn¡¯t you? Why? Are your grandfather disappointed at you so he gives up on you?¡± ¡°Urgh!¡± Edward spat at Harrell and said angrily, ¡°What do you know? Harrell came back by himself and put forward that he wanted a blind date. It has nothing to do with my grandfather.¡± Sean heard the words and turned his head to see Harrell. Although they didn''t ask, they all looked at Harrell, waiting for him to talk about it. Harrell lowered his head and said with a implicative smile, ¡°Edward is right, it is the truth.¡± Harper was surprised, stretched out his hand to pat Harrell''s shoulder. He asked, ¡°You are so excellent. Which woman is lucky that you have a crush on her?¡± Harrell smiled and poured wine into his ss. He calmly said, ¡°Now it''s still early to talk about it, so don''t ask. I''ll bring her out to show you when I have the chance...¡± Harper nodded. Edward said in an enigmatic manner, ¡°Why do you want to get married so early? You may think this woman is good, but the one may be better, don¡¯t worry!¡± Harrell took a look at Edward, but he said nothing. Their characteristics were different, so they had different opinions. Edward seemed to have remembered something, he turned to Sean, ¡°Sean, how is your wild cat? Why didn¡¯t you mention her recently?¡± Sean¡¯s face became dark, and did not pay attention to him. Harrell looked at Sean and asked with confused, ¡°What wild cat?¡± Before Seam said a word, Harper told Harrell that Emma seduced Sean. While he said that, Harper could not helpughing. He said to Harrell, ¡°Sean was so angry, his face was dark as carbon. Have you seen he be angry for a woman since we were kids?¡± Harrell was surprised, ¡°She is not Racheal?¡± ¡°No!¡± Edward said, ¡°Racheal from a noble family would not do that, and you know that¡­¡± Hearing that, Harrell was surprised.

Continuous headache and fever made her only sleep in addition to taking medicine. She slept a lot during the day, so she could not fall asleep at night. Lewis was not worried about Emma, but intentionally asked her about her impression on Harrell. It was ok to ask once, but he asked all the time. Emma could not help but be annoyed. Even so, Emma still nodded and said he was good. She did not say he was not good, because he had her handhold. Every time she said so, her grandfather seemed to be in a good mood, once even hummed a song, which made Emma doubted if she was his granddaugther. ...

From time to time, firecrackers sound was heard in the distance. Emma walked out of the old street, stopped a taxi in the street, opened the door and got in. ¡°No. 45 CJ Vi.¡± Emma said to the driver in the front row. The red taxi galloped up, and Emma sitting in the back seat looked out of the window in a daze. She clutched the mobile phone in her hand, wondering whether to call Sean first, but what could she say? As she was hesitating, the taxi had stopped at the destination, but Emma had not yet called.

What brand do you want? I get it for you.¡± Emma took a nce at the position of the dog food. She really did not know what kind of dog food Nunu liked to eat, because Maggie would take care of it. She pointed casually at one of the brands, ¡°I''ll take Mercer.¡± Hearing that, the owner was surprised. After a moment, he said, staring at Emma, ¡°It is cat food......¡± ¡°......¡± -- -- -- When Emma came out of the pet store, her face was still rosy because of embarassment. With half a bag of dog food in her hand, she walked fast. At the door of Sean''s vi, Emma turned around and looked at the pet store, it was closed. She took sending Nunu dog food as an excuse, but she could not get through with Sean. After about 10 minutes of ringing the doorbell, there was still no movement inside.

Before the tingling sensation disappeared, she heard the sound of a car door closing behind her. She only focus on beating her legs. She did not pay any attention to it until Sean''s voice sounded from behind her. ¡°You don¡¯t sleep at home. Whye here?¡± Emma looked back in surprise. At the moment when they looked at each other, Emma seemed to forget that her feet were still numb, she lifted her legs and walked toward Sean. But she failed, her legs were so unwieldy that they seemed not belong to her. Sean''s coat button had not been fastened, apparently he was in a hurry to be back.
