Thomas finally got home when it was a little over ten at night. The moment virtual-novel.net got home, virtual-novel.net saw his father-in-law sitting in the living room while watching TV. His eyes were wide open, and virtual-novel.net occasionally did some really childish actions. He looked rather hilarious.
Puzzled, Thomas moved next to Emma and asked, “What’s going on with Dad? He’s acting like a child.”
“Don’t you know?”
“I don’t…”
Emma pointed at the TV and said, “Recently, “Hello Dad”, the one starring Gemma Peake, aired on TV. It talked about a few rebellious children slowly mending their relationship with their father after growing up, and they forgave each other. Dad loves it, especially the protagonist, Gemma. Dad loves her. He said that she’s the standard daughter-in-law, and he’s been addicted to the show over the past few days.”
Thomas felt delighted. Recently, the company had indeed aired a new series. He did not expect the feedback to be so good.
He asked, “Is Gemma really popular now?”
Emma rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him. “Right now, she’s the favorite among the elderly, middle-aged, and young. The youngsters want to look for someone like virtual-novel.net to be their wives, and the elderly want someone like virtual-novel.net to be their daughters-in-law. Whew, she’s so popular it’s ridiculous.”
“Don’t you know about this? Just how busy are you?”
Thomas cleared his throat, feeling awkward. It was because virtual-novel.net had been spending every day with Gemma that virtual-novel.net did not realize Gemma was already this popular.
He felt happy for her. This was a good start. As long as they could keep up the momentum, Gemma would turn into an A-list actress, and the amount of money virtual-novel.net earned, virtual-novel.net fame, and status would all jump through the roof.
The more Johnson watched, the happier virtual-novel.net became. He chuckled and said, “Ah, it would have been great if I had a daughter like her.”
Emma pouted. “Hmph!”
She trained virtual-novel.net gaze on Thomas and saw a strand of woman’s hair on his shoulder. In an instant, virtual-novel.net was filled with jealousy, and virtual-novel.net picked up the hair with two fingers before virtual-novel.net coldly asked, “Be honest, whose hair is this?”
Thomas was stunned.
If virtual-novel.net recalled correctly, it should have been left behind when Gemma hugged him.
But what should virtual-novel.net say?
Thomas was not someone who was used to making excuses, and the more virtual-novel.net wanted to look for one, the more virtual-novel.net found himself unable to do so.
In the end, virtual-novel.net could only answer honestly, “That’s… Gemma’s hair.”
“You!”
Emma nearly fainted. She thought that Thomas had always been a man who did not know how to joke around. Who would have known that today, Thomas would crack such a joke with her?
Little did virtual-novel.net know that Thomas was not joking around. He was telling the truth.
“Hmph!” Emma pushed Thomas away. “Sleep on the floor today!”
Thomas shrugged in embarrassment and followed Emma into the bedroom.
Once they entered the bedroom, Emma took off virtual-novel.net coat and said, “By the way, I have something to tell you. Tomorrow is Easter, and every year, during this day, Dad will eat together with his colleague, Mr. Robinson. This year, they will be dining at Cloud Kitchen. My dad and I will be going tomorrow, and you must go as well, understand?”
“When?”
“You don’t have to go there too early. Just arrive before 7.00 pm.”
“All right.”
She said nothing for a while, then Emma gave virtual-novel.net a reminder. “And… You should prepare a gift beforehand.”
“Um. It’s just Easter. It’s not a major holiday. Is there a need for us to act so ceremoniously?”
Emma shrugged. “There wasn’t a need for. it originally, but Dad and Mr. Robinson are both people who put a lot of value into their dignity. Every time they gather together, they must compete with each other, and it’s no exception this year. Prepare something, and don’t embarrass Dad. Do you have money? I can give you some. ”
Thomas smiled. “I don’t need it. I have enough from my salary over the past few months.”
“It’s decided then.”
“All right.”
Emma climbed under the blankets to rest, while Thomas just stared at her.
