Chapter 292 - 299: Meeting Emma
Joan’s parents came here to help the couple with buying a house and also to see if they were happy together, since after all, the elders had saved up their whole lives and were worried about their daughter being deceived.
Now it seems that the couple is still very loving, and James is very caring, which reassured them. The only regret is that Joan hasn’t gotten pregnant yet, causing a bit of a false alarm, but they figured it would happen eventually after some time.
And Joan’s parents didn’t stay long here, not wanting to disturb the couple’s private world; plus, they had work to attend to, so they went back the next day.
Once her parents left, Joan finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately kicked James out of her house. The decisiveness made James both cry and laugh.
Recently, Melody hadn’t called James, which surprised him. After their last encounter, it would be odd for Melody to go silent; it felt very peculiar.
After thinking it over, James took the initiative to call Melody. The phone rang a few times but was suddenly hung up, which puzzled James even more, wondering if something had happened to Melody.
After a while, Melody called back and James immediately said, "Melody, is something wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I’ve been attending a training in the province these days."
"You scared me. You haven’t called for days; I thought something happened to you."
"Hmph, I deliberately didn’t call you just to see if you still remember me."
James secretly broke a sweat; with his recent busyness, he truly hadn’t thought of calling Melody. He rushed to explain, "These past few days have been busy, and sometimes it’s not convenient to answer the phone."
