When finishing her words, Emma took Nunu and left without looking back.
Emma left.
Everyone was blue in the face, especially George.
Kate walked quietly to George, and said softly, "sir, you are in poor health. Don't be angry. I don't think Emma did it on purpose..."
George didn't look at Kate’s face at all, but stared straight at Jessie, who was still in Simon’s arms, and said, "can't you let me have a meal quietly? Can't you stop stirring things up for a moment?! "
Jessie was astonished, she frowned, and raised her voice, "dad! You know, I'm afraid of dogs..."
The old man picked up the cane and gestured, "it's just a dog, so is it worth to make a big fuss?"
The rim of Jessie’s eyes turned red. Watching the old man, she was close to tears, since he was partial to his granddaughter regardless of right or wrong.
After the old man finished his words, he threw the cane aside with a bang, and shouted at the servant beside him, "I am not eating any more, help me upstairs!"
The dining room suddenly became quiet.
Except for Jessie sobbing, everyone else lower their heads and kept silent.
Ivan got up and said, "excuse me, I have something to do. I need to go now."
Kate raised her head, her lips moved slightly, and finally did not say anything, and nodded.
In fact, it was understandable that Ivan chose to leave at that time.
After all, this is the family affair of the Powell family, and he was of no help staying here.
Simon got up and sent Ivan out.
————
It was dark outside.
Emma took Nunu and walked on the street, put her hands in her pockets, and kicked the Coke bottle cap at her feet far away.
She never thought that after so many years, she was still so impulsive.
Every time she saw Jessie, she couldn't help but want to rush up and tear her hypocritical face...
However, apart from being a little guilty for her grandpa, she was actually quite happy that night.
The phone in the pocket of her coat rang.
She took it from her pocket, it was Ivan calling.
Emma ended the phone call and put it back.
Her phone rang again, then she ended it again.
After repeating several times, Emma was also annoyed.
She answered the phone call and said angrily, "what’s wrong with you?!"
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and Sean's voice came.
"Emma?"
She was stunned, then she recognized that it was Sean.
She couldn't help but whispered, what did he call for? Did he want to mention the car window again?
Thinking of this, Emma's tone immediately became gentle, and said, "Uncle Sean..."
There was an Uh-huh came from the other end of the phone.
"The nanny called and said that your clothes have been washed. Do you want someone to take it to your grandfather’s, or you want to pick it up by yourself?" Sean asked.
Emma immediately became nervous, and said, "Don't send it to my grandpa’s. I'd better go and take it by myself when I have time."
"OK……"
After Sean finished his brief words, he hung up the phone.
Emma stared at the phone blankly.
A few seconds later, the barking dog pulled her back from her thoughts.
She lowered her head and realized that the dog collar was opened.
Nunu regained freedom, and was trying to rub against a street light pole happily.
She held down Nunu in one hand, then she squatted down, and grabbed one of its ears, "don't run away!"
After that, regardless of the resistance of Nunu, she fastened the dog collar.
