"Nina, Emma, you've really misunderstood me. It was so stupid of me to have said something so wrong," Sheila said hurriedly. She kept apologizing to them.
Other customers were starting to look at them. Emma reached out to touch Nina's arm and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
What Sheila said was true anyway.
Emma didn't really care much about it.
But the same could not be said about Nina. It was true that she didn't care about what other people thought of her either.
But she couldn't accept it that Sheila mocked Emma, saying she was not good enough for James.
"A slip of the tongue is never a coincidence," Nina said slowly. "You just said what is on your mind."
"Sheila, did you say that to Emma on purpose?" Michelle asked.
She cocked her head to the side as she asked her question, and her eyes bore an innocent look.
Sheila's face turned pale at first, then flushed with embarrassment. She had to take a moment to calm herself down.
Nina was John's wife, and was James' aunt.
She co
his chin proudly. "Your boyfriend is so smart."
Seeing that he was happy, Emma smiled too.
"Well, let's go. Bye, Aunt Nina. Bye, Mimi." James opened the door and assisted Emma into the passenger seat. He waved at the two people on the side of the road and drove off.
As they watched the car disappear into the highway, Nina couldn't help but think back on what had happened back at the tea house. She was feeling a little worried.
No wonder John had said that James was so stupid. He didn't even notice Sheila's feelings for him.
"Nini, let's go." Michelle took her arm. They were about to leave when a black Lincoln screeched into a halt in front of them.
John quickly exited the vehicle, his face dark. He pounced on his wife and carried her back into the car without saying anything. In the next second, the car was off as well.
Michelle stood in place, stunned.
'Sure, you all had someone to pick you up, but what about me?'
It suddenly occurred to Michelle that she no longer wanted to be single.
