My Doting Husband

Chapter 54 It’s Too Late! You Should Go Home!

Kate looked at his perfect side face. She felt so warm. In her eyes, Ivan was always perfect.

"Why don't you bring your parents here for the New Year together? It’s so lonely that you spend the New Year alone." Kate suddenly asked.

Ivan's hand of holding the chopsticks paused. He stopped eating dumplings.

Kate didn't seem to realize Ivan's abnormality, and continued saying with blushing, "We have been together for so long. Should I see your parents..."

Before Kate finished speaking, Ivan put down his chopsticks and got up.

Seeing Ivan suddenly stopped eating, Kate was a little confused. She stood up and asked, "Why don't you eat anymore? Is it not delicious?"

Ivan walked to the coffee table, picked up the cigarette case and took out a cigarette. He lowered his head to light it. After a while, he said, "It's too late. You should go home..."

Kate's face turned pale. She was staring at Ivan with a little loss, "Sorry, did I say something wrong?"

Ivan turned his head. His eyes were gentle. After a long sigh, he walked to her and hugged her into his arms.

Feeling Ivan's sudden change, Kate felt nervous.

During this period of time, Ivan’s mood had often been unpredictable. Sometimes, he was not like him. She would observe his looks when she was speaking. Although she had always been good at observing others, in front of Ivan, she found that she couldn't see through him at all.

Maybe this was exactly why Ivan attracted her...

Ivan's voice sounded above her head, "I have become accustomed to be alone. If you want see my parents, we can wait until the New Year is over."

Hearing what Ivan said, Kate finally breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded, and said, "I don’t want to see you alone. I can stay here to accompany you..."

Ivan let go of Kate. After staring at her fixedly for a moment, he finally nodded.

...

In the Brown’s House.

Emma put the phone down with a puzzled expression on her face.

Officer Brown was standing on the balcony and was calling her name. Emma walked toward the balcony with her slipper.

Officer Brown held the crutch and looked out.

The colorful fireworks in the sky bloomed one after another, lighting up the whole night sky, beaming with joy.

Officer Brown said to himself, "When your cousin was young, he would take the initiative to set off firecrackers every New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, after he went to France, there was not even a boy at home. It was too quiet and I always felt it is not like the New Year."

Emma knew that her grandpa missed the grandson, but she had no ways.

Emma's uncle and aunt lived apart all the year round. Their relationship was not good. Her cousin had been taken care of by his mother, so it was common that he was not close to Officer Brown.

Officer Brown sighed. He turned his head to look at Emma, patted the top of her head, and said, "When will you bring your boyfriend back to visit me?"

When being asked this question suddenly, Emma blushed and muttered, "I’m still young!"

Officer Brown smiled happily and nodded in response, "Yeah, I just have only you, a beloved baby. I don't want to let those stinky boys cheat you. If you find a boyfriend in the future, you must take him home and let me see first. So, you have to be wise up."

Emma didn’t know why Sean popped into her mind when she thought of who could spend the rest time with her.

Just when she was lost in thoughts, Officer Brown had turned around and returned to the living room. The shows on TV were lively...

...

Emma stood alone on the balcony for a while. The mobile phone in the living room rang.

Maggie let her go in to answer the phone, and then she turned and went into the living room.

The call was from Winnie. She had already flown back to Shanghai at 5 pm. Now, she was already at home and spent New Year's Eve with her family.

Emma was afraid of disturbing her grandpa's watching TV, so she took her mobile phone to the second floor.

In the bedroom, Emma was lying on the bed, listening to the noisy voice of Winnie on the phone.

Emma knew that Winnie lived in a big family. It was said that dozens of people gathered together during the holidays and festivals, which was very lively.

Emma waited for the phone to be quiet, and then asked, "Your dad didn't scold you? You hurried back so late."

Winnie on the other end of the phone smiled heartlessly, "Don't worry. As long as I am willing to go back, my dad will treat me well. So he won't be angry with me."

Emma was a little envious that Winnie could be accompanied by so many relatives, and the family was harmonious, unlike herself.

"By the way, Emma, are you okay? Does it still hurt?"

Emma touched her belly and said, "It's much better. It's just numb if I don't touch it. I can't feel the pain anymore."

Speaking of what happened at the ski resort today, Winnie was still a little scared. She said to herself, "Thanks to Mr. Sean, or you must get bad injury."

Emma wasn't very afraid, but instead thought of the look in Sean's eyes. She had some feelings.

Winnie on the other end of the phone said something, but Emma didn't hear her.

At this moment, there was an impulse in her mind. She interrupted Winnie's chattering and suddenly said, "Winnie, why is Sean so good to me?"

Winnie was suddenly interrupted for a moment, then she hesitated, "Isn't he your uncle?"

"Shit Uncle! My father's surname is Powell. His surname is Knight. What kind of uncle does he count as me?" Emma retorted.

Winnie on the other end of the phone swallowed hard and stuttered, "Emma, Emma, what do you mean?"

Emma's heart was filled with excitement and then she said, "Winnie, if I tell you that I like him, would you think I'm crazy?"

There was a strong cough from Winnie on the phone, as if she was choking after listening to Emma's words.

After a while, Winnie calmed down and said, "Are you crazy? You gave yourself up for Ivan more than half a month ago. Now, you fall in love with another guy? You have to figure it out. Although Sean looks really good, he is so much older than you. Are you sure you are suitable for him?"

After saying this, Emma actually regretted a little. She even began to wonder if she was impulsive.

Someone on the other end of the phone was calling Winnie's name, "Winnie, come here for dinner."

Soon, Winnie said hurriedly, "I will call you later. I have to have dinner first. There are many rules in my family. My grandfather will be unhappy if I go late." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Okay." Before Emma finished speaking, Winnie had already hung up the phone.

Emma was lying on the bed alone, holding a mobile phone that was still hot, and staring at the ceiling in a daze.
