Chapter 13 The Little Monkeys
"You’d better explain to me what is going on."
After she calmed down, the first thing Emma did was call James to condemn him scathingly.
How could he just let her two young children leave without adult supervision?! What would happen if
they got hurt or god forbid, kidnapped?! Emma was practically seething.
James grumbled, he felt bad too but he didn't have a say in this.
"The two of them booked tickets on my phone."
"Where were you? You didn't know about your phone?”
" I just woke up two hours ago, Emma. Can you believe it? I was struck by your two little devils. They
put sleeping pills in my drink! I slept for a whole day and there were over ten missed calls from the
hospital. I'm putting on my pants and I have to go to the hospital immediately!"
When she heard this, Emma looked at Natalie and Nathan, bewildered.
"Did you two drug uncle James??"
Natalie was munching on a peach and replied, "What are drugs?"
Emma snorted. She knew her daughter down to a tee. It was obvious that she did it.
Emma thought to herself, Natalie should be an actress when she grows up. She'll win the Oscars for
sure with her superb acting skills!
"Are the two little monkeys alright?" On the other end, James had just put on his pants and was about
to go out.
"They’re fine. They're safe here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you."
"I can’t talk to you anymore. If I don't go to the hospital, the dean will really kill me."
"Hey, wait, when are you coming back?" Emma Lang held her forehead and walked to the side to get a NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
drink of water. "I can't handle them alone."
" Emma Lang, they’re your children but I was the one to change the diaper. Am I your maid or your
friend?”
"I don't care." Emma Lang leaned against the bar. "After all, the two of them grew up with you. I can't
manage them. You have to come back quickly, or I will die."
"Oh bloody hell, what did I do to deserve you Emma?”
Although James was complaining, he was still worried about Emma's abilities as a mother.
"I'll try to wrap up my work here and head over soon, but Emma..."
On the phone, he asked, "You've returned to Rock City. Aren't you going to take them to see their
dad?"
Emma stopped drinking water. "I saw him at the hospital."
In the living room, Natalie finished eating a whole juicy peach. Her stomach was like a small ball as she
slowly slid from the sofa to the carpet. Then she nudged her brother who was playing a game on his
Nintendo Switch.
"Nathan—"
Nathan kept playing the game and said, "Don't even think about wiping your hands on me. Go to the
kitchen and wash your hands."
"Hmph!" Natalie pouted and walked into the kitchen.
The moment she reached the kitchen, she heard Emma's voice.
"He doesn't know about Nathan and Natalie. It's been so many years, so I can’t just tell him. Forget it,
he's getting married next month."
He? Who? Papa?
Natalie's large round eyes suddenly lit up. She gently slid behind a cabinet and raised her ears.
"It's all in the past now. I don't want to disturb him."
