However, he was somewhat interested in Kate's brother-in-law .
The the Brown Group was not a large group China, but it was very competitive. It was mainly engaged in the production of famous domestic wines. In the declining wine industry, the the Brown Group was the only enduring and standing one...
After meeting Kate's brother-in-law and his family, Ivan walked out of the villa alone and stood at the door smoking.
A black Jeep with a military license plate halted at a short distance from the villa.
Emma took Nunu and jumped out of the car, turning around and say goodbye to the chauffeur.
Today Emma wore a slim fit coffee-colored woolen coat, which was very figure-flattering. Her long hair, thick and causal, was tied loosely at her back. An adult Siberian Husky followed behind her.
Emma was trying to hold the dog leash. The dog with its mouth watering was staring at a bitch in the distance. She reprimanded it in a low voice: "Stupid dog, if you don't listen to me, I will discard you!"
Nunu followed Emma to the courtyard in disappointment, and looked back at the bitch behind him from time to time.
Emma finally heaved a sigh of relief.
But when she looked up, she saw Ivan standing at the door...
The moment when they made eye contact with each other, Ivan paused while smoking a cigarette.
He looked at Emma with a little surprise in his eyes.
He didn't come to himself until his cigarette burned his hand, then he asked, "What are you doing here?"
Emma was not surprised by his question.
She still looked confident and calm, and she said, "What? Do I have to report to you before I am going anywhere in advance?"
"..."
Emma didn't want to talk to him more, and walked inside with Nunu around her.
Ivan grabbed her wrist from behind.
Emma turned around and saw the impatient man.
There was a deep frown on the ace. He said, "Emma, is it fun for you to play games like this?"
Freed from his wrist, Emma stood in front of him and stared at him, and said with sarcasm: "What's wrong with me?"
"As I said, we were done. We are not seeing each other anymore! But why are you coming here now? This is not the place you should be, come with me!"
Before Emma retorting, his hand shot out to grab her wrist and pulled her away.
Seeing Emma had been bullied, Nunu barked at Ivan fiercely.
Probably the noise they made raised attention of the people inside.
Soon, someone opened the door and walked out.
"What's wrong? Ivan." A gentle female voice came across.
The person who came out was Kate...
Ivan paused when he pulled Emma. When Kate saw that it was Emma, her face instantly turned pale.
"Emma, why, why are you coming here?"
Kate's face turned pale, but she stared at their hands holding together.
Ivan seemed to realize something wrong and let go of his hand calmly.
Emma held the dog leash, walked steadily in front of Kate, looked at her contemptuously, and said coldly, "what? can't I go back to my home? It's you, an outsider, why are you always come to my home?!"
The word “outsider” made Kate’s face instantly turn blue and red.
Ivan looked at Emma's back in disbelief, thinking that there might be something wrong with his own ears.
She just said, this... was her home?
How could that be!
Seeing Emma walking down from the second floor, patted the sofa beside him, and said, "Emma, come and sit here."
Emma did so and glanced around.
George understood what Emma meant, and said, "Your dad went to the TV station to pick up your step-mother. He had just left when you got here."
Emma nodded without saying anything.
The old man smiled and pointed to Ivan and said, "I haven't introduced him to you yet. He is Ivan, Kate's new boyfriend..."
Ivan raised his head and made eye contact with Emma.
With just one glance, Emma looked away from him.
Ivan didn't say anything, but Emma first raise the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand and said with a faint smile, "My future uncle-in-law, right? How are you..."
Ivan's face turned paler, and after staring at Emma in astonishment for a few seconds, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with her.
When their fingertips touched, Emma quickly withdrew her hand, and the perfunctory handshake seemed to be a waste of time. Then she turned her head, chatting with George.
The atmosphere was a little embarrassing in the living room. Except for Kate on the side, Ivan was still calm, smiling from time to time to answer a few questions from George.
But even so, Emma no longer made eye contact with him.
"Emma, have you been living with Officer Brown these days?" George asked.
Emma nodded, "He lives alone and he’s very lonely. I just came back, so I want to accompany him more."
George nodded, "it should be like that."
Kate, who had been silent for a long time, finally got up, forced herself to smile and said, "excuse me, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the nanny needs any help...You guys enjoy the chatting."
“Uh-huh.” The old man said, and Kate walked towards the kitchen.
George glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "you young people must something to talk about. I will go up and see your grandma..."
