With an embarrassed smile and a shrug of the shoulders, Emma explained, “My dog ran out of food. I can't let my dog starve. It is picky and only eats one brand…”
The owner was a northeast man, more than 40 years old, some fat. Hearing Emma's rambling, he didn't say anything.
After Emma finished speaking, he said with a smile, “You come in the right time. It’s been closed these days, but I came to grad something, and you happened to come in the right time. What brand do you want? I get it for you.”
Emma took a glance at the position of the dog food. She really did not know what kind of dog food Nunu liked to eat, because Maggie would take care of it.
She pointed casually at one of the brands, “I'll take Mercer.”
Hearing that, the owner was surprised. After a moment, he said, staring at Emma, “It is cat food......”
“......”

When Emma came out of the pet store, her face was still rosy because of embarassment.
With half a bag of dog food in her hand, she walked fast.
At the door of Sean's villa, Emma turned around and looked at the pet store, it was closed.
She took sending Nunu dog food as an excuse, but she could not get through with Sean.
After about 10 minutes of ringing the doorbell, there was still no movement inside. Emma was completely discouraged.
She was crouching at the door of the villa, her hands and feet shriveled for it was too cold, but she did not want to go.
She wanted to wait a little longer, probably he would be back in a minute.
Two hours later.
Emma who was frozen could not help jumping in situ, trying to warm up her body.
A dazzling light shone in the distance, Emma raised her hand to cover her eyes.
As the passed by her, the sudden darkness made her hard to adapt to it.
Soon, the sports car that had just passed drove back, stopping beside Emma.
When the window fell, Edward's face suddenly appeared in Emma's line of sight.
Edward looked Emma over from top to bottom. After making sure that he was not mistaken, he said with a bad smile, “Hey, isn't this wild cat? What are you doing standing here on such a cold day?”
Hearing Edward calling her wild cat, Emma got sick of him. She said in heart, “Are you blind? What am I supposed to do standing at the door? Do you expect a home invasion?!”
She thought in heart, but she said coldly, “None of your business. Have I stood at your door?”
Edward was stunned for a moment. He had already known this girl. Not surprised, he turned to smile and said, “Ok, none of my business. You go on.”
Emma was too lazy to answer him and turned around directly, leaving a back to him.
Edward drove the car away, and Emma gradually disappeared in his rearview mirror.
All the way Edward had been worried, thinking of that she was frozen miserably.
Finally, he called the Knight’s house and said over the phone, “Sean, what's the matter with you and your wild cat? She seems to have been standing at the door of your villa for a long time, and I saw her face was pale for it was cold...”
“......”

Emma squatted on the ground, and her feet have been frozen with no sensation.
Depressed, she raised wrist to take a look at her watch, it was already close to dawn.
