But the senior officer growled on the phone, “You little jerk! You won't even go home first. Where are
you?”
Emma held the mobile phone in her hands and felt tingled by the senior officer's deep voice. She said
in a coquet voice, “Grandpa, I didn't come back to L City until midnight yesterday, so I was afraid that I
would disturb your rest. Last night, Joey picked me up at the airport and I went to sleep at his home...
“You make it up!” The senior officer said angrily.
Emma instantly lost her confidence, bit her lips and listen with a sad face.
Officer Brown continued to roar in the telephone, “What did you and Joey do last night?!”
“No...nothing.” Emma was still quibbling.
Officer Brown’s next sentence thoroughly made Emma give up struggling.
Officer Brown roared in the telephone, “If you didn’t do anything, why your father called me and asked
to keep an eye on you?!”
“......”
Few people knew that Emma had such a tough grandfather.
Except for Joey and Kate, who grew up together with her in the same yard, she had never told anyone.
The Powell engaged in business and was a wealthy family.
Even so, for years she was abroad, Emma rarely used the money Simon transferred to her card.
Like other students, she ate the most basic food and shared a rented house far from the university.
Therefore one day she could throw that bank card in Simon’s face to vent her anger.
When she first arrived in Britain, Emma and three other overseas students shared a house from a
British couple.
Among the three overseas students, Ivan was one of them...

In one of Officer Brown's bedrooms, a husky dog named Nunu was licking Emma's foot sticking out of
the bed with its tongue.
“Go away...Nunu!”
Emma kicked it a few times in a daze and she finally sat up from the bed and pulled Nunu up to the
bed.
The cry of Nunu came from the second floor to the first floor.
Until Nanny Maggie rushed in, Nunu was saved.
After ‘conquering’ Nunu, Emma was not sleepy anymore.
She got up, washed and changed her clothes.
Today she made an appointment with Joey to eat abnormal food...
...
In the living room on the first floor, there were visitor.
When Emma went downstairs in her slippers, she saw Maggie refilling some tea for the visitor.
Maggie was in the front, so Emma could not see who the visitor was.
But the figure seemed familiar...
As Emma was recalling where she had seen it, suddenly she stepped on nothing and directly sat in the
center of the stairs.
The man in the living room, disturbed by the noise on the stairs, looked up.
Just by a glance, Emma was almost scared out of urine.
There was nothing more terrifying than the sudden appearance of Sean.
Emma climbed up the stairs as fast as she could, holding on to the handrail, and quickly turned and ran
to the second floor.
She said silently, “Damn it! Isn't it just a car window? Why he is here?”
Sean saw that she was in panic.
Before she got into the bedroom, Emma saw Officer Brown talked with Maggie, but she heard nothing
and directly closed the door.
Her heart was beating violently and she was so worried.
From her grandfather's performance last night, Simon should have not told him that she and Joey hit
his car.
Otherwise, her grandfather would not be so easily coaxed by her.
But today he came. Was he to ask for compensation?
So, her grandfather knew it?
Emma felt it was the truth and instantly she became restless.
Joey called and asked Emma why she had not arrived?
Emma told him that Sean was in her home.
Joey, on the other end of the line, pondered for a moment and then said, “Is he really there for
compensation?”
In the end, Joey gave an advice.
“Why don't you jump down from the window and sneak out, and then go back when your grandfather's
anger has dissipated...”
“......”
She had known Joey for 20 years, Emma felt this was the most pertinent advice he had ever given...
...
Maggie knocked at the door.
Emma said, “Wait a minute, I'm changing clothes, I will be good soon.” As she pushed open the
window, she put her leg out first.
Officer Brown’s villa design was very safe. Under the window of Emma’s room, there was a buffer
stage.
On the buffer stage was the flower Officer Brown raised personally.
She slung the bag on her body and the fell to the ground.
After jumping down from the second floor, Emma took long sigh of relief.
But when she looked back, she knew it was in vain.
For not far away on the small golf course, a man and a dog turned around and looked to her at the
same time...
...
The temperature was lower in winter in L City.
The grass on the small golf course was mostly covered with snow.
Officer Brown was old and such an excise had long been unsuitable for him.
He came out to talk with Sean and wanted to breathe fresh air.
But, after a few words, he was called in by the housekeeper to answer the phone.
Sean stood alone in the snow, smoking a cigarette with his head down.
Nunu jumped out of nowhere and squatted in front of him, looking at him with its heavy head.
Sean looked down at Nunu for a long time, then reached out his hand and rubbed the top of its head.
Nunu was happy, wagged its tail, stretched out its tongue to please Sean.
Also at this time, Emma jumped down from the second floor......
Sean turned his head.
Nunu had been running toward Emma.
As Emma stood still, she fell down on the ground by Nunu’s fat body.
In the snow, such a scene amused Sean.
Emma had never thought that a cold man could be so good-looking when he smiled.
“Nunu, get down......”
With Nunu riding on her body, Emma was angry. She pushed and shoved it.
Finally she pushed Nunu away, and she got blushed on face.
After all, it was quite humiliating to be seen by outsiders like this.
When she looked up, Sean had already stopped smiling and returned to his former coldness.
But his eyes still fell on her, and he made no attempt to move away.
Emma clapped her bottom, got up from the snow and looked up at Sean not far away.
“It is just the window glass of a Bentley, and you even came to my grandfather's?”
