My Doting Husband novel Chapter 50

Emma sat up from the bed and glanced at the time on the phone. It was less than 8 o'clock.

Scratching her tousled hair, Emma got up angrily.

After a simple freshening up, she went downstairs with her slipper.

In the living room, Officer Brown was talking on the phone. Emma knew who was calling by the look on Officer Brown’s face.

Emma’s uncle lived in the army all year round, and rarely came back during New Year. Her aunt used to study with her son in France for her son’s studies. Later, her son graduated and worked in France. So she and her son simply settled in France. Due to the work, they returned only a few times.

Officer Brown said with joy on the phone. He didn't even notice Emma coming down from the second floor.

Emma passed by her grandfather and saw a double-layered cake in the dining room. Maggie was busing at the table.

Seeing that Emma was awake, Maggie hurried over and asked, "Miss, why did you get up so early?"

Emma yawned and sat down on the sofa listlessly, "I want to sleep more. The problem is that I can’t fall sleep. Firecrackers are raging outside. It's too noisy."

Maggie smiled, "It’s New Year. Every family set off firecrackers for celebrating."

Emma felt that there was nothing to say, so she just turned her head and looked out the window.

She was shocked after looking out.

Joey's dark red Cayenne stopped at the door not far away. Emma didn't notice when it came.

She suddenly remembered the appointment to go skiing with Joey and Winnie today. But could her grandpa agree?

When Emma was wondering the matter, Officer Brown had finished the phone call. He was studying how to insert the candles on the cake with Maggie.

Emma was walking back and forth in the living room in slippers. Seeing Joey's car was still parked at the door, the sweat on her forehead came out, so she could only bite the bullet and move to Officer Brown.

Officer Brown turned his head and asked enthusiastically, "Come here, do you like this cake? I specially bought this for you. I know you like durians. It’s full of durian pulp. But it’s just a little smelly..."

Emma didn't have the heart to think about these things. She looked back at the window, and nodded uneasily, "Yeah, yeah. I like it..."

How could Officer Brown not know what Emma was thinking about?

But even so, he still said seriously, "In any case, don't think of going out today. New Year's Eve is only when the whole family gathers together. There is nothing fun outside. You are not allowed to go out. You have to help Maggie make dumplings."

Emma was helpless. Dumplings were what she hated most in her life.

...

Outside, the window of Cayenne was half rolling down, revealing Joey's handsome face.

Winnie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced in the direction of the villa and asked, "Why is Emma still not coming out? You can't just call and ask?"

"Then why don't you call her?" Joey looked at Winnie. Then he took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket angrily.

After the call got through, Emma quickly picked up.

"Hey, Emma, are you going to go skiing? Winnie and I are waiting for you at the door. Hurry up, okay?!"

As soon as Joey finished speaking, Emma's voice came over the phone.
