My Doting Husband

Chapter 9 Why Are You Hiding

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?”

“......”

Emma was too lazy to deal with him, wiped her tears. Before she stretched out to take a beer glass, she jumped up.

Such a scene scared Joey. He quickly stood up and asked, “What's the matter? Do you want to jump up?”

Emma did not want to talk to him. Pointing to her prickling eyes, she cried, “Spicy, spicy, it hurts, it hurts......”

It was not until the boss rushed out that the crisis was resolved.

The boss took Emma to the kitchen and flushed her eyes with cold water, and she finally felt better.

...

At the table, Joey looked at Emma who was in a mess without a word.

After holding back for a long time, he squeezed out, “You deserved it!”

Emma stared at him and continued to peel the crayfish heartlessly and then ordered two glasses of beer......

After several glassed of beers, they began to talk more and more.

Joey told jokes, Emma giggled, shuck the crayfish and put it into his mouth, and then shuck one for herself.

After that, she asked Joey.

“Joey, you are so handsome, why don't you find a girlfriend? Is it possible that you have become gay the years I have been away?!”

“......”

Joey spat out his liquor and glared at her.

“You're gay! I am not gay!”

Emma smiled heartlessly and even could not swallow down the beer.

“Then why don't you have a girlfriend?!” Emma asked.

Joey put his hand on her shoulder, embraced her and said, “It was not that I didn’t find one...Do you understand?”

Emma shook her ponderous head and smirked, “I don't understand...”

Joey was also drunk. He stared at her for a long time, which made Emma confused.

Soon, Joey pushed her away and said, “I've been looking for one, but I haven't met the right one yet...” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Emma believed that. With Joey's conditions, he could have any kinds of girls.

Joey made a wine belch and gesticulated to Emma, “I'm gonna to find someone better than you, so that you can’t laugh at me......”

Emma nodded forcibly, “Yes, you are right!”

With that, her eyes became blurred.

The beer glass in hand became two from one, and even Joey had three heads and six arms......

In the end, Emma could not remember how much she had drunk, but Joey bent over the table and did not move.

...

Emma pulled out a few hundred yuan from her bag, put them on the table and got up to walk out.

Walking unsteadily, she pushed away the hand of the boss and said she was not drunk and just wanted to go out to get some fresh air.

Probably the boss was afraid she vomited in the restaurant, seeing that she could walk, she did not stop Emma.

Emma opened the door, walked to a street lamp by the side of the road alone and sat down.

She could not feel how cold it was underneath her, but now she was worried about Joey.

Arduously she fumbled out her phone, but she could not see clearly the phone screen.
