As far as James was concerned, this was even more surprising than when John told him that there was no limit to his monthly allowance.
Needless to say, he was stunned.
Did he hear it right?
Emma had actually agreed.
So as long as James wore women's clothes, Emma would be his girlfriend.
'Damn!
I'm so lucky today!
This is a piece of cake!'
Astounded as he was, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest with excitement.
Seeing him look and act so silly, Emma chuckled. She snapped a photo of him.
Click!
The sound of the shutter pulled James out of his daze. "Emma, what you said just now, can you say it again?"
"Ahhh!" Dora's sudden shriek promptly cut him off, and then she was there, grabbing his arm and shaking it excitedly. "James, look! Uncle John gave Aunt Nina the diamond necklace as well as the old town which is being developed into a tourist attraction! But wait, that's not the point."
"Then what's the point?" James asked in exasperation.
Dora gestured to the dress that was in the box.
"Well, the point is..."
"What?" James shifted his gaze to the dark green fabric folded
n looked at each other. Come to think of it, they couldn't recall if they actually had a photo together.
The only one was on the marriage license, but even that was a fabricated one, not something that was taken with them actually together.
"Okay," Nina smiled, her eyes bright.
John put an arm around Nina's waist and gazed down at her.
"Wait a minute! I want to take photos with you, too." James quickly ran over to join the fun and stood next to John.
John said nothing, and Nina didn't stop him either.
"Then I'll take a picture of you three first, and then I'll take a photo of Nina and Mr. Shi." Emma aimed the camera at the three of them.
Out of nowhere, John raised his other hand, put it on James' neck, and pressed the young man's head down. Hard.
"Ah... Uncle John, let go of me..." The harder James struggled, the harder John kept him down.
James never could win against his uncle.
A smile played at the corner of John's mouth as he looked to the camera lens.
Crack!
Emma pressed the shutter.
In the photo, there were only John and Nina.
The camera didn't even catch a shadow of James.
