My Doting Husband novel Chapter 9

Emma walked to the street lamp and said, “Even if you haven't calculated your own volume, at least calculate the width of this street lamp pole, can it block you? Why are you hiding?”

Looking at Sean's car slowly turned the front, Joey reluctantly walked out from behind the street lamp pole. Staring at the black phantom, he asked, “Why are you with him?”

Emma took a long sigh, waved her hand and said, “Never mind, it is a long story...”

“......”

Without waiting for Joey to ask again, Emma had pulled his sleeve and walked toward the restaurant.

...

In the small restaurant, the heater was baking very hot.

The boss added specially crayfish to their and said, “Winter is not the season for crayfish, so the shrimp meat is not full. You often come, I will give you more......”

Joey smiled happily and said thank you, and then he ordered two glasses of beer.

Unfortunately, there was no cold beer.

The two men ate with their hands full of red oil, and when they had eaten more than half of the crayfish, they cleaned their hands and began to drink the beer slowly.

Emma was not in high spirit.

Joey knew Kate had come to her from the phone, so he could understand the reason for Emma's low mood now.

After a long time, Joey tentatively asked, “Did Kate make it hard for you?”

Hearing that, Emma suddenly wanted to cry.

Indeed, the mood of being concerned was not the same.

Ivan only cared about if Emma had bullied Kate, but Joey wondered if Emma had been bullied and did not ask other things......

...

After drinking a glass of beer, Emma was drunk.

The tears fell into the glass and mixed with the brown beer.

Joey was nervous. He was most afraid of girls crying in front of him.

He tried to coax her, but Emma cried more and more sadly and he had no idea what to do.

The boss came over and handed Joey a packet of napkins. She patted her fat hand on his shoulder and said, “Let her cry for a while. She must be hurt. I found she was not in a good mood since she came in.

Joey looked back at the boss, speechless, and took the napkins from her hand.

The boss continued, “It's always good to cry out. Don’t talk to her, or she will be sadder...”

Joey nodded in a daze, looking at the boss turned around and left.

He handed the napkins to Emma, but his arm was yanked by Emma.

Joey failed to withdraw his hand, got up and walked to Emma and sat down beside her, allowing her to cry holding his arms.

Tired of crying, Emma wiped her snot with his sleeve and asked, “Aren't you a neat freak? Why didn't you avoid me?”

Joey's brow twisted. He wanted to avoid it, but he failed to do so.

Joey said with upholding justice, “I have seen you cry twice from we were kids. Once you broke the leg of a dog in the yard with your uncle's gun and you got whipped by your Grandpa with a leash. The second time was the day your mother died, and you hid in the car by yourself...It's only the third time...”

Emma raised her head, looking at him with tearful eyes.

Joey sighed, shook his head and continued, “But honest, I look down on you for you cry like a dog for a man. Are you that Emma I know?”

“......”
