Chapter 247 Playing Hard To Get
Angela looked at Emma as if the mother-in-law was looking at her daughter-in-law. The more Angela looked at Emma, the more she liked Emma. Angela held her hand kindly and said, "Emma, do you have any objection to my calling you like this?"
"You can call me whatever you want, Auntie." It was hard for Emma to refuse the amiable Angela.
It was even more difficult to imagine that this elegant and knowledgeable woman was the mother of James.
When James wrote her a letter, it was hard to describe the letter. Emma knew it was a love letter from the Internet at a glance.
It was totally not serious.
It meant that James didn't like reading at all.
Angela was more excited. She was about to call Emma daughter-in-law, but she was afraid of scaring the little girl.
She began to inquire about more military information, "Emma, do you have a boyfriend?"
James said, "Yes."
Emma said, "No."
Two voices, one big and one small, appeared at the same time. In other people's eyes, there was a tacit understanding between them.
Emma was slightly stunned and repeated with a smile, "No, I don't have a boyfriend."
James was annoyed and retorted loudly, "Yes! You'll have a boyfriend soon. When I get you, you'll have a boyfriend."
His words were extremely domineering. From NôvelDrama.Org.
The Shi family had never seen James so tough, and they looked at him with new eyes.
Emma still didn't look at him.
Her ears were getting calluses about those words of James.
"Don't speak now." Angela glared at her son, which made James dispirited and even a little angry.
Was Angela his mother? Why didn't she give him dignity in front of the person he liked?
Then James left angrily.
It was the first time that Emma had seen James being humiliated.
She didn't expect that the domineering and arrogant man in front of her would be so obedient in front of his family.
It was surprising.
Emma finally looked up at him. His angry back was in contrast to his tall body. James was even a little cute.
Emma couldn't help laughing.
But soon she concealed her smile.
Angela observed Emma from head to toe and found that the little girl had feelings for her son.
But the little girl didn't know it now.
That would be much easier.
"Emma, why don't you find a boyfriend?"
Emma was stunned. Thinking of Harrison's betrayal and hurt, she said sadly, "Aunt, I just broke up."
Angela was also stunned. It turned out that Emma had just broken up. Was it because of her son destroyed Emma's relationship that Emma didn't accept James?
Speaking of this, James was furious. How could the scumbag Harrison bullied the woman he liked?
"Harrison is a beast in human form."
Daniel knew about the relationship between He family and the Zhu family. "Harrison? Isn't he Miss Adela Zhu's fiance? "
Emma's face turned pale. It turned out that everyone in business circle knew about it. Had she been kept in the dark all the time?
"I've been with Harrison for two years. I didn't know he is Miss Adela's fiance." Emma explained weakly.
Emma didn't know why, but she didn't want people here to misunderstand her as a mistress like others outside.
Daniel frowned and immediately realized that Emma was cheated by the young man from He family.
"Harrison and Adela just engaged half a year ago. Few people know about it."
Angela knew she had a good eye for people, so she sneered, "Harrison looks like a gentleman, as polite as his name. I didn't expect him to be a jerk. If there is a new girlfriend of him, just tell you directly. But he has to sit on the fence. "
Angela looked down upon such a man the most.
Except for James and Nina, it was the first time that Emma had heard someone willing to believe her. She was moved and gratified.
Angela patted on Emma's hand and comforted her, "Silly girl, don't forget such a person. Why do you still keep it in your heart? Haven't your teacher taught you to donate something you don't need to the people who are more unfortunate than you? You can just donate that man as an old thing. "
Nina nodded silently. What Angela said made sense.
Nina supported Angela.
When John saw his wife nod with a smile, he also smiled. No wonder she liked Angela.
It turned out that it was not because of James, but because Angela's temperament was somewhat like Nina's.
Especially the words Angela said could really tease people.
"Honey, come and sit here." Feeling sorry for Nina for keeping standing there, he pulled her over and let her sit down.
Angela took Emma's hand and comforted her for a while. Finally, Angela got to the point, but she said euphemistically.
"Emma, don't be greedy for meaningless things and people. How can you collect gifts with your hands full of rubbish?"
Before Angela finished her words, she gave her son a meaningful look.
The rubbish in Angela's words referred to Harrison, and the gift she was talking about naturally referred to James.
Angela hoped that Emma could put Harrison down and get ready for the new gift.
Emma was so smart. How could Emma not understand?
Emma stole a glance at James from the corner of her eye. It seemed that he was really an unexpected gift.
In the face of Harrison's infidelity, James stood out to beat him, and then joined the crew with investment to solve her problem.
Every time she was sad, James would appear. Although he was a little rude to her, it was good to get rid of the haze that covered her head.
Even if it was just a short time, it was enough.
At least it wouldn't be added up, so that she wouldn't cry to collapse at night.
But she still couldn't let go of Harrison.
She had been in love with Harrison for two years. He had promised her that he would marry her and support her for the rest of his life.
How could she just let it go so easily?
"Thank you, Auntie. I know." Emma forced a smile and found an excuse to leave.
Nina didn't keep her.
James was about to chase Emma out, he was stopped by Angela. "She needs some time. If you chase her out now, it will disturb her thoughts. I have just reminded her a lot."
"What if she is crying?" James was very anxious.
Angela said angrily, "Can you be a little spineless? Don't stick to her like a plaster. She is not a cheap woman. She doesn't need cheap things.
Can you use your brain?" Angela poked her son's head and said angrily, "Do you know what playing hard to get is?"
James was stupid again because her mother poked his head. "I don't know."
As soon as James finished speaking, everyone laughed again.
Dora suddenly was enlightened, "Dad, did you marry mom in this way?"
With one hand on Angela's shoulder, Daniel smiled happily. "Exactly the opposite. Your mother nailed me. "
"So, boy, use your brain." Daniel looked at his silly son and didn't blame him. He just worried about James as his father.
Then, Daniel left with his wife and daughter, leaving James here. Only in this way could James learn more from John and catch up with the woman as soon as possible.
After they all left, James was still worried about Emma. But when he thought of his mother's words, he held back the impulse to chase after her.
Emma really needed to think it over.
James also needed to think about how to improve his own value and ability to be a powerful and charming man like Uncle John.
James' mother was right. Emma was not a cheap woman and didn't need cheap things.
Emma deserved the best.
James had made up his mind to be a man worthy of Emma.
