It was a very handsome and domineering middle-aged man!
Elaine could imagine how graceful the man was when he was young. Even at this age, he was still this intimidating.
Atwood rubbed his cane and looked straight at Elaine. Well, she was a fair and tender girl. She was indeed very cute and hopelessly naive.
"Ms. Jones...."
"Who, who are you?"
"You're so impolite to ask an elder like this. Never mind. I'll let you go this time. I'm Emmett's father."
Elaine gasped in surprised. Emmett's father? (⊙_⊙)
Elaine was totally shocked.
The first thought popped into her mind. "Elaine, you're screwed up. You hooked up with Emmett, and his father is coming at you."
Then, she thought, "Elaine, you are so poor. How dare you date an outstanding man like Emmett? You're daydreaming! Now his father comes to pull you out of the fantasy."
"You, you ... what can I do for you?"
Atwood nodded. "I do come for a reason. I'm not that kind of idle old man. Ms. Jones, I want to talk to you because you're dating my son. What do you think?"
Elaine's brain was in a buzz, as if there were a thousand bees in it. She was going crazy.
"Oh, talk to me? About what?" Elaine almost shrank. Atwood had such sharp eyes that he seemed to see through people by just staring at them.
...
Atwood stared at Elaine. He was like a piece of cold iron. He had the expressionless gaze that gave nothing away.
In other words, it made Elaine feel that Atwood was determined to have a conversation with her!
In Atwood's eyes, Elaine was like a frightened bird. She was panicked and shrank away from his gaze. She didn't even know where to put her hands.
Atwood sighed in his heart.
Poor people always blenched in front of him. How could Emmett get together with such a shallow woman? She would only embarrass his family when she went out with Emmett.
It didn't matter if she was not noble or powerful. But Elaine was simply too stupid.
She had no merit!
Atwood would never allow Emmett to marry such a girl!
Elaine was helpless and rubbing her hands. Suddenly, her phone rang.
Elaine really thanked the person who called now, which diverted her attention.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I need to take this."
Elaine said to Atwood in a hurry. She rummaged in her bag, found her phone, and turned to answer it.
"Hello...."
"Elaine! Are you dating on the moon? How long are you going to keep me waiting for you to bring the keys? I'm freezing! Damn. If you don't come back, I'll rip you off!"
On the other end of the phone, Hazel roared like a crazy tiger. Elaine immediately replied,
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll go back and bring you the keys. Wait for another while. I'll be there soon!"
"Hurry up!!!" Hazel's roar almost deafened Elaine.
After hanging up the phone, Elaine felt awkward and smiled at Atwood. "Sorry, I ... my friend is waiting for me to bring her the keys. She can't go in. How about ... I...."
"Alright, just go. I'll wait for you."
Atwood said calmly and coldly.
"Oh, alright. I'll be quick."
After saying that, Elaine ran away. The farther she ran away from the serious Atwood, the safer Elaine felt.
God, Bad-bear Smith's father was so tough! Was he going to be her father-in-law? Elaine was very, very scared of him.
...
What should she do? Obviously, her marriage would be very difficult.
Elaine was absent-minded and almost bumped into a tree. Even Atwood, who was looking at her from afar, was speechless.
This girl ... was simply a fool.
