Martin quickly took over the teapot, asking with concem “Are you okay? Did it burn you?

* firent Emily quickly assured him

Charlie on the other end of the phone heard everything clearly, growling out, “Emily!”

The room suddenly quieted as everyone looked at the phone in Kyas hand

Emily & face turned red and she quickly took the phone and explained, “It’s my boss, he needs me. I’m

going to take this call.”

With that, she rushed into her bedroom, phone in hand.

Gina quickly reassured the Ferber family. “Emily is a world renowned school graduate, her boss values

her a lot. It must be something important!” Despite the strange male voice on the phone, the Ferber

family continued to heap praises, “Emily is really outstanding, both her family and career are great!

Thott is also very outstanding, how did you raise such great children?”

“Oh, Theard Elliott’s father works out of town, what does he do?”

Gina was all smiles with the compliments, but when they asked about Shawn Sullivan, her smile froze.

She replied, “He’s a chef, in a five–star hotel!” “That’s amazing!” Andrea exclaimed, “I just found out

that Elliott’s father is just as accomplished.”

Terry asked, “Why isn’t he working in J City?”

Gina awkwardly explained, “A hotel specifically requested him, he couldn’t refuse, so he left.”

“He must be earning a lot then?” Andrea asked in surprise.

“Yeah!” Gina laughed nervously.

Elliott sat quietly, feeling rather awkward.

Back in the bedroom, Emily closed the door before speaking, “Mr. James?”

Charlie’s voice was filled with anger, “Kya told me you’re on a date?”

Emily’s eyes widened slightly, “No!”

“Then what are you doing?” Charlie asked coldly.

Emily explained, “Elliott’s girlfriend’s parents are visiting us. They’re getting married soon, so there’s a

lot of people here.”

“Why is Martin there too?”

Emily bit her lip, “He was just passing by, came to visit my mother, and happened to be here!”

“Emily, do you take me for a fool?” Charlie asked sarcastically

To his surprise, Emily answered seriously, “No!” novelbin

Not sure if she was messing with him, he got even angrier, “Are you treating me like an idiot then?!”
