Chapter 983 - Adult’s Duty

The man in the wheelchair is Paul.

Today, he and Indra came to 70 Strip for a private banquet.

And this western style restaurant is registered under Paul's name.

At first, he just wanted to come and visit, but unexpectedly, he heard a loud noise from another table.

Tonight, Paul and Indra are not wearing gray robes. They were both wearing black suits. Paul also wears a gray hat over his head.

Paul heard Indra's explanation, then looked ahead and raised his head, "Come on then."

Indra hastily pushed the wheelchair and approached without hesitation.

At this time, Merry was comforting Anna with their backs to them. Emma turned her head and looked out the window, but her chest kept rising and falling, still showing that she was very angry.

Under such a dangerous scene, someone from behind said in a deep voice, "What is the problem?"

Clifford stood up when he heard Paul's voice, his expression looking serious. "Mr. Paul."

Paul didn't answer, his eyes fell on Merry.

The little girl heard a familiar voice, looked back subconsciously, and her eyes suddenly ran to Paul. Her mouth opened wide in surprise. "Grandpa…" 

When she called him such, Paul immediately swallowed back.

He can't be called Grandpa!

He's not that old yet!

After a moment, she turned to face Paul, sweetly shouting. "Uncle!"

Upon hearing that voice, Paul and Indra's expressions floated in surprise.

Indra looked at Merry with a smile, his eyebrows showed joy.

Paul seemed quite satisfied with this title, and his always serious face immediately softened. "Come and tell me, what are you arguing about?"

Merry looked at Paul seriously. She couldn't help but remember their previous meeting in the Hartanto family's backyard that day.

At that moment... Paul seemed to have said that she should leave Brother Chris!

Thinking of this, Merry bit the corners of her mouth. Not only did she not want to leave Chris, she wanted to go even further with him.

Will Chris's father be angry and embarrass her in public?!

The little girl walked to the side of Paul's wheelchair with a heavy heart, her eyes kept turning, and she cautiously asked, "Uncle, are you eating here too? Have we bothered you?"

Because of her relationship with Chris, Merry was very afraid that Paul would hate her.

At this time, Paul was sitting in a wheelchair and raised his head slightly, staring at the stiff appearance of the little girl, frowning. "Have you been bullied?"

Standing behind him, Indra also looked at Merry with concern.

How to say it?!

Since the last time the little girl cried in their first meeting, he and his master have been worrying about her ever since.

A sweet and beautiful girl, crying for no reason in front of the two old men, making them feel depressed no matter how they thought about it.

Besides, this little girl from the Hiroshi family looks very pleasant. Every time Indra looks at her innocent and clear eyes, it seems to wash his soul.

Such a clean and pure girl, who would n't like her!

At this moment, Merry shook her head at Paul obediently. "I'm fine, thank you for your concern!"

Even so, Paul didn't believe it right away!

He looked at Merry's face carefully, and the thick furrows of his eyebrows became more pronounced. "Are you sick?"

Merry replied, "It's just a mild flu, it's okay."

At this time, Indra saw movement on the sofa and leaned forward to remind Paul. "Sir, that lady wants to go."

Even if they didn't know the truth, the scene where Emma snapped at Merry and Anna was obvious.

At this moment, Paul signaled to push his wheelchair forward.

In the blink of an eye, the wheelchair stopped a few steps away from Emma.

The moderate distance allowed Paul to look directly at her.

Emma looked at Paul who appeared suddenly, saw his wheelchair nearby, then tried to go past him with a nonchalant face.

Indra stretched out his hand from the side at the right time and blocked her way again. "Wouldn't it be better if you explain what happened earlier?"

Emma looked unconcerned, she said with disdainful eyes, "Why would I explain it to you? Get out of my way, don't get in my way anymore!" 

Such arrogance… She really had no intention of giving the other party any courtesy at all.

In response to this, Indra smiled without anger, glanced at Merry beside him, and continued to say to Emma, "Looks like you are not from this town! I don't know what Miss Merry and her friends did wrong but do you need to scold them in public?" 

Emma narrowed her eyes and looked at the old man carefully. "Do I need a reason to teach my nephew proper manners?" 

As she said, she turned and looked at Merry and Anna. "Anna, why are you curled up like a child? Why don't you follow me?"

At this moment, Anna didn't have the courage to shake her head in retaliation. But Merry had stepped forward to protect her.

The little girl met Emma's gloomy and resolute eyes, then said with a stern face, "Anna will not go with you, she is my guest. Even if she wants to go, she will go with me!"

Emma squeezed her hand. "Merry, what you did today… I will never forget it. I will ask your father to give me an explanation."

This unfounded accusation suddenly made Merry angry, and she stomped her feet in anger. "You are talking nonsense, how come what I did was wrong?"

"Mary, come here!" At this time, Paul suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted their dispute.

Merry paced the wheelchair angrily, and explained in a low voice, "Uncle, I didn't say or do anything bad at all."

Paul raised an eyebrow and nodded. "I trust you."

After he heard it, he calmly looked at Emma who was still full of anger, and said with a deep smile, "Our children who are raised by every big family in Surabaya, even though they are a little naughty, they will not curse others with such vile words...."

"As an elder, teaching the youngsters is indeed natural. Of course, we still have to see the situation clearly and understand our every action. Don't be so impulsive as to ruin your own reputation and slander our children!"

Paul was older than Emma, ​​these wise words immediately made Emma feel bad towards the young people there. 

"I realize that I am an adult and my job is to teach them when they do wrong. I see you are getting old, you better not interfere considering your age!" 

So far, no one has dared to speak disrespectfully to Paul Hartanto, who was once the center of the Hartanto family.

When Merry heard Emma's insinuation, she couldn't help but want to step up and protect Paul.

However, in the next second, Paul raised his hand to stop the girl's movement.. He then turned to Indra and said, "Since this woman's anger is still unresolved, go and prepare a private room for us. We will sit down with her and have a chat!"
