My Doting Husband

Chapter 24 He Has His Own Pride

"Dad..." Jessie interrupted him, "Please stop saying you helped Ivan. He also has his own pride. "

Albert disagreed with Jessie's point of view. He thought he was reasonable, so he yelled, "Why can't I mention it? Five million! If it weren't for me, where would Ivan be now? Now, he is the youngest entrepreneur! Then he forgets all my favors to him?"

Jessie felt that she couldn't talk with her father, so she turned her head and didn't look at him, but instead set her gaze on Kate, who was pale.

After a while, Kate looked up and said, "Dad, Ivan paid you back the money long ago. Don't mention it anymore. I really like him. I don't want him to feel owe me, so he can only be with me reluctantly..."

Now that Kate had said so, Albert didn't know how to persuade this daughter. He got up from the sofa and said angrily, "I said this for your own good! Forget it! I don't bother to care about your things. Anyway, you’d better know what you are doing. Don't come back and cry when Ivan runs away with other women!"

After speaking, he turned around and left the living room.

The living room was quiet, except for a British short tabby cat sleeping on the carpet. The couple of sisters did not speak.

There was a loud noise from the door. Albert's loud voice sounded outside, "I'm going to play mahjong with James. I’ll come back at dinner!"

...

Jessie stretched out her hand and patted Kate's shoulder, then comforted her, "Kate, don't have too many worries. I think the reason why you become so sensitive during this period of time is because

Emma has returned. Don't worry, as long as there is a chance, I will ask your brother-in-law to send her back to England."

Kate finally nodded, "Sister, I'm fine. I won't let Ivan go back to Emma again, no matter what method I use..."

Seeing Kate like this, Jessie was still a little relieved. She knew her sister’s personality. Under the gentle and delicate appearance, her sister was extremely shrewd. Just a mindless Emma! She was naturally not her sister’s match at all.

Monday was the day when Emma was discharged from the hospital.

Joey rushed over early in the morning, sat in front of Emma's bed, and handed her the room card of a five-star hotel, "Is it really ok that you stay in the hotel alone these days? How about going to my house? My mother can take care of you..."

Emma shook her head and put the room card into her wallet, "No, if your mother knows that I'm sick, she will tell my grandpa the first time. If my grandpa knows that I have been cheating him, he will break my leg! "

Joey was a little tangled. Watching Emma bend down to tie her shoelaces, he squatted down, snatched the shoelaces from her hands, and helped her tie the shoelaces seriously.

A nurse opened the door and walked in. She said to Emma and Joey, "Today is Monday. There may be a lot of people who will be discharged from the hospital. Doctor Lowe is still doing an operation. You have to wait for him to sign the stuff about some discharge procedures."

Emma nodded, "We are not in a hurry."

The nurse glanced at Joey and said with a smile, "After taking her back, don't give her fried chicken wings anymore. She can’t eat anything with oil for a month, remember?!"

Joey was blushed. When the nurse went out, he murmured to himself. But fortunately, it was not heard by the nurse.

When he turned around, he found that Emma was lost in the thought.

Joey stared at her curiously and asked, "Emma, what are you thinking about?"

Emma came back to her senses and then said, "Nothing. I just don't understand one thing."

"What's the matter?" Joey raised his long legs and straddled the chair.

"If you take the initiative to kiss a person, and that person doesn't avoid you, what will it mean?"

Joey hurriedly asked, "Who did you take the initiative to kiss again?"

Emma glared at him, "I just said if! Can you stop putting everything on me?!"

"Well…"

Hearing this, Joey finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he pondered for a while and said, "Either the man likes you, or he is too scared to react…"

Emma pondered for a moment, feeling that the latter was more likely.

Seeing Emma holding her chin in a daze, Joey said again, "Please lift up your noble buttocks, you are sitting on my phone..."

Emma moved aside. Joey got up to get the phone.

However, as soon as he got the phone, Emma grabbed Joey's hands. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

...

Then she hugged Joey's neck and pressed herself to Joey.

The two were too close, hugging each other in a strange posture. Joey's face turned pale.

He stuttered a little, "What, what, what do you want to do?"

Emma moved closer and looked into his eyes. The tips of their noses were pressed against each other’s, and they could hear each other’s breathe.

She could even hear Joey's heartbeat speeding up, but she didn't hear Sean's...

She finally breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe she really thought too much. Sean was almost older than her about 12 years. How could he fall in love with her? There was really no other explanation! Sean was forced to endure her kiss. See, Joey didn't react, either.

"What's wrong? Do you want to kiss me?" Joey said with blinking eyes.

Emma suddenly wanted to tease Joey. So she deliberately leaned close to his lips, "Have a try?"

When she was speaking, she dragged Joey over by the collar. Just as she wanted to bite his lips, Joey stopped her.

Joey's face turned paler, "Wait... you don't like me, do you? I tell you I'm a serious person. Although we have been playing with each other since childhood, I really don’t have any other thoughts about you. If you really want to kiss me, I won’t object. But why do I feel like it’s so weird?"

Emma couldn't help but burst out laughing. She pushed him away, "What are you talking about! I just want to scare you, and want to see what kind of reaction normal people have when they encounter this kind of thing.”

"Holy crap!"

Emma yawned and didn't pay attention to Joey's looks. She took Joey's phone and opened the screen lock, “I want to eat vegetable porridge from Vegetarian Restaurant. You go to see whether the doctor is back now. I am waiting for him to sign the name and then I can leave the hospital..."

Joey felt so speechless.
