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 her last 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 displayed 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 villa.
When Joey saw Emma coming out, he pushed the car door open and walked down.
Emma was wearing an iron-gray man’s shirt, and a black 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 villa 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 villa while slamming a fist against the steering wheel. He said angrily, "I will kill him sooner or later!"
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 uproarious laughter, then until he choked with laughter on the steering wheel.
Emma glowered at him, and said angrily, "Isn't it just menstruation? What's so funny?!"
Joey stopped laughing finally, and raised his head to look at her. Then he tried to keep a straight face, and said, "I'm not laughing at your menstruation, I'm laughing...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.
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 replaced it with furry pyjamas with a short tail.
Wearing slippers, she walked downstairs lazily.
Officer Brown was sitting alone in the living room having tea.
Seeing Emma coming 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. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Officer Brown glanced 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 accept the fact.
The Powell family was in a mess. Simon slapped 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.
Then later...
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 ‘the coming baby’.
From that time on, there has been some misunderstanding to come 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.

After Ivan had lunch in the company, he received a call from Kate.
Kate said on the phone that he wanted Ivan to accompany 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.
