Chapter 210 - Close To A Culprit

Emma felt that someone was staring at her face. Her nerves were tense, but she had difficulty staying awake. She struggled for a moment and slept for another half an hour before waking up.

There was no one others in the room. Emma held her head and suddenly felt a little pain all over her body, as if she had been beaten. She got out of the bed, and shouted softly, "Stony?"

She couldn't remember how she came back last night. She tried to sober up while walking out, planning to ask Stony.

Jaquan was shooting eggs outside. The egg sprayed everywhere. He was not a good student, for he failed to learn the essence from Emma.

Emma prepared to go to the bathroom first, and then helped him. She casually glanced at the corner of Jaquan's mouth and saw a bruise, as if he had been beaten.

She was a little surprised. "Who hit you?"

Jaquan looked at her and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Emma did not ask any further and went straight to the bathroom. There was a cherry hairpin on the washstand. The chopstick she used to fasten her hair disappeared. She hesitated for a moment and picked up the hairpin to tie her hair.

After washing up, she took the egg in Jaquan's hands and put them in a bowl for later use. Then, she cut tomatoes, washed a pan, poured water into it and boiled it. Meanwhile, she opened the refrigerator to get instant noodles out and then cut some ham.

"Where's Stony?" She asked as she washed the knife.

Jaquan stood behind her. Looking at the red cherry on the back of her head, for some reason, his throat was somewhat dry. "Collin ... took him out for breakfast."

Emma nodded and said nothing.

They had breakfast 'peacefully'. Emma felt strange because Jaquan was comparatively quiet today.

She looked up and met his gaze. Emma looked at him and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Jaquan didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her that he had been dreaming about her kissing him all night. Moreover, telling from Emma's behavior, she didn't seem to remember what she had done last night.

A commotion came from the entrance. It turned out that Collin was taking Stony back. Seeing them having breakfast at the dining table, he smiled and said, "Have you prepared my portion?"

Jaquan finally regained his composure. "How cheeky! You went out to eat. Did the owner think you were too ugly and refuse to serve you breakfast?"

"I'm handsome, so I caused a traffic jam and was punished by the traffic police. I was worried that I would go bankrupt, so I hurried back," Collin said as he changed his shoes.

...

Stony walked over with a smile. He held a pancake in his hand and gallantly handed it to Emma. "Mom, here you are."

Collin went into the kitchen to fetch a pair of chopsticks. He directly picked up the noodles in Jaquan's bowl and tasted them. Then, he said, "It's delicious. Emma, don't bother to treat me to eat out. Just cook some tomorrow."

Emma paused for a moment before remembering that she had promised to treat him a dinner. After all, she would not come out again after she returned. If he paid a visit there, of course, there would be no problem. Thus, she nodded and said, "Alright."

Jaquan suddenly had no appetite. He put down his chopsticks and said, "You've contaminated my noodles. I don't want to eat them anymore. Enjoy them."

Collin deliberately put down his chopsticks. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "No, you should have them so as to build up health."

"..."

Last night, when Collin saw Jaquan, he didn't care about the injuries on Jaquan's face. He instead smiled and asked Jaquan who hit him.

Who did it?

Who else could it be other than Emma?

However, Collin did not believe it. He stared at Emma's injured leg for a moment and said suspiciously, "You were beaten by a woman whose leg got injured. Jaquan, you are too weak."

Damn it.

Jaquan was so angry that he wanted to beat Collin to death at the thought of it!

"Don't you need to go to work today?" Emma asked.

Collin smiled, "No, I have a day off." He touched Stony's head and said happily, "Just now, many people thought that he was my son and gave him a lot of sugar."

Jaquan was annoyed.

Although Stony wasn't his son, when Jaquan heard what Collin said, he had a feeling that his son was close to a culprit.

Stony took out the sugar from his pocket and placed it on the table. He carefully peeled off one candy and handed it to Emma. "Mom, have a taste."

Emma opened her mouth and held the candy.

Jaquan stared at her lips and recalled the kiss last night.

"When are you leaving?" Collin took a glance at his watch and said, "I'll see you off."

Emma did not refuse. She stood up and answered, "Wait for me for five minutes."

She tidied up the kitchen and cleaned up the rubbish. Then she put the dishes in the sink and washed them. Finally, she cleaned the table and dried the cloth in the air.

Finally, she washed her hands and walked to the guest room. She picked up her suitcase. After exchanging a glance with Stony, they smiled and walked towards the entrance.

Jaquan sat on the dining chair without moving, just watching Emma bustle. At this moment, they, who looked like a family of three, reached the door.

Collin waved his hand and said, "See you."

Stony also waved his hand and smiled, "Goodbye, Mr. Jaquan."

Emma turned around and nodded at him. As the door opened, she picked up the garbage and walked out.

Afterwards, the door was closed.

Jaquan took a deep breath and shouted, "Finally, they've gone! I can sleep well now!"

However, having returned to his bedroom for a few minutes, he still did not feel sleepy at all. He got up and walked to the balcony, happening to see Collin's car coming out of the garage and driving into the distance.

The voice of the Stony seemed to echo in the room.

"Mr. Jaquan, you're back!"

The TV was turned on at regular intervals. Tom and Jerry was on. Jaquan walked to the sofa and sat down. When he watched funny scenes, he turned to look at Emma. However, he only saw the empty hall.

...

Ferne was highly adaptable. Although he was tied up, he slept soundly. He even snored slightly in the second half of the night. Noah opened his eyes vigilantly when he heard the noise. When he heard Ferne's snore, he turned on the wall lamp and looked at him.

There was a blanket on the ground, and Ferne was covered with a thin blanket. His hands and feet were tied to the legs of the bed. Although it was not a comfortable posture, it did not affect his good sleep.

Noah was amused by Ferne. He had a glance at his watch, finding it was three o'clock in the morning. He got out of bed and turned on his computer. Ferne mumbled something vaguely on the carpet. Noah did not hear it clearly. His fingers paused slightly and he stopped typing the keyboard. Ferne was still talking in his dream. Noah walked over and squatted down, wanting to listen carefully to what Noah was saying.

"I'm going to pee...."

...

Noah didn't know whether Ferne was dreaming that he wanted to pee, or that he really wanted to pee.. In case, Noah still took Ferne to the bathroom and took off his pants.
