Merry subconsciously wanted to refuse, but her eyes immediately rushed to Anna. Filled with caution, her refusal stuck in her throat and couldn't get out.
She hadn't told Anna the truth before, and now if she were to reject Emma firmly, she would definitely make Anna suspicious.
The little girl leaned back on the sofa looking a bit restless, ignoring Emma who was looking into her eyes. She then took the menu book from the table, muttering, "I'm hungry, what kind of delicious food they offer today?"
Hearing this, Anna gradually felt relaxed, then waved her hand and called the waiter.
In this dinner, Merry almost did not say anything because of Emma's presence.
She lowered her head while cutting her steak and occasionally taking a sip of juice, also stubbornly refusing to look at Emma.
In the middle of eating, Merry put down her knife and fork and silently rubbed her stomach.
She was eating too fast!
At this time, a cup of blueberry yogurt was pushed in front of her, and Merry raised her eyes to look at Emma's hands.
"Merry, eating too fast makes your stomach upset. Drink some yogurt to soothe it." Emma said.
The little girl stared at the blueberry flavored yogurt, then pursed her lips. "I don't like yogurt."
"Then what would you like to drink? Milkshake or pudding? Or…"
Emma's flattery seemed to surprise Anna.
She rarely saw her aunt so concerned with outsiders!
It turns out that her aunt also likes this little Merry!
However, Merry's current indifferent attitude seemed to show her displeasure towards her aunt.
Anna was worried that her aunt would be offended by Merry's attitude, so she hastily held the yogurt cup in front of her. "Auntie, I like to eat yogurt, why don't you give it to me!"
The smile on the corner of Emma's mouth stiffened, and she looked at Merry while saying in a cold tone. "It seems that Merry's misunderstanding hasn't gone away. Since she doesn't like eating, just take the yogurt. "
In this situation, the atmosphere became stiff again.
Anna was a little overwhelmed. On one hand, Emma is her aunt whom she respects. On the other hand, Merry is her best friend.
She took the initiative to defuse the awkward atmosphere, and it seemed to have no effect.
Anna silently looked at Clifford, kicked him, and winked at him.
Clifford furrowed his brows and shook his head calmly.
At this moment, Merry heard Emma's words, then tightened her hands. Her face looked confused and said, "Why do you always say I misunderstood? Is it because I don't want to eat a cup of yogurt that you think that way about me?"
Emma stared at her for a moment as well, her friendly expression turning slightly dissatisfied. "Merry, why won't you accept my kindness?"
"Why should I accept your kindness for no apparent reason? After I receive it, what will you do? Do you want to hurt me?" The little girl replied firmly to Emma.
Hearing this, Emma was stunned, then shook her head and laughed. "You think too much, how could I want to hurt you?"
Merry pursed the corners of her mouth, wondering whether to question Jade directly what's so wrong with his mom!
At this time, without waiting for her to speak, Anna tried to lighten the mood once again. "Merry, my aunt is not a bad person, she has no ill will towards you. Auntie, it looks like Merry is not feeling well so please understand!"
Emma glanced at Anna and sighed. "I can naturally understand her if she does feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, I didn't really know her from the start!"
Merry became even more annoyed hearing Emma's words. She then muttered, "I don't need your attention. If you have time to pay attention to me, you should take good care of your sick child."
"Merry, what are you talking about! " Hearing this annoyed Emma in an instant.
Merry was frightened by Emma's mounting anger.
She turned her gaze to Emma's angry face, blinked her eyes, looking a little frustrated. "I'm not talking nonsense, your child is indeed sick, so you should take care of him well."
Emma's fingertips curled up tightly. As she angrily glared at Merry, she asked, "Who told you about this?"
Before Merry could answer, Anna grabbed Emma's arm in fear, and carefully calmed them down. "Auntie, don't be angry. That's not what Merry meant. It was me who told her..."
Before she could finish her words, Emma shook Anna's hand, and slapped her on the cheek with the back of her hand. "Anna, you think your mouth can freely spread the news about my son? Did your brother tell you to tell Merry?"
At this time, since Emma suddenly hit her, the commotion immediately attracted the attention of other people in the restaurant.
Merry was stunned for a moment, then slammed the table and pushed Clifford away. She walked over to Anna, holding her by the shoulder. "What did you do to Anna?!"
Anna was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
She covered her face and looked at Emma in disbelief. The woman with the hideous expression in front of her made her doubt her memory.
"Auntie..."
Emma gritted her teeth and looked at Anna. "Don't call me auntie! Tomorrow, you will return to Parma! I don't want to see you again."
Anna had never been beaten by her family, in fact she had never been publicly scolded like this.
Her eyes reddened with sadness, and she choked to explain, "I'm not spreading stories about Jade, I'm just…"
"Shut up! Don't mention my child's name again, you don't deserve to be my family!"
Emma's last line was Jade!
This sudden change had caused many people in the restaurant to look forward to the end even more.
Merry pulled Anna to her side, caressed her back, feeling regretful in her heart.
Anna was beaten for her nonchalant words.
But Emma's reaction was too much.
Pain is a normal state for humans, and she only asked her to take care of her son without insulting her son at all.
Merry hugged Anna, and apologized in her ear quietly.
Anna rubbed the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, smiled bitterly at the little girl, and signaled her not to worry.
At this time, the restaurant manager rushed over when he heard the news.
Their elegant and high-quality restaurant could not tolerate the commotion made by the diners. The manager rushed over and approached, but suddenly someone behind him pressed his shoulder.
He looked back, and when he saw the other party, he was taken aback for a moment. "Indra?"
Indra nodded slightly, and then looked at Merry. "This matter will be resolved by my master, go and entertain the other visitors"
"This…"
Indra's face condensed, and his eyes were displeased. "Go!"
The manager was stung by his sight, and he could only nod and say. "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"
When the words came out, he turned and walked to the other side of the restaurant.
At this time, Indra looked forward, turned his head slightly to the side, and whispered to the man in the wheelchair next to him. "Sir, it seems.... Miss Merry and her friends are in trouble!"
