Lord Protector Novel

Emma nodded. “Mr. Williams, she's just a child. She doesn't know what she's saying. Please don't take Amelia's

words to heart.”

Zeke nodded, then reached for a book from the shelf beside him. With that book in hand, he went into Amelia's

room.

Sole Wolf stretched his body and said, “All right. You guys talk. We'll be heading back to the hotel for some rest.”

Emma's house was too small for all of them. Amelia had a room to herself while Emma and Madeline shared one,

and Zeke and David were sleeping in the living room. Even Brantley had to stay at the hotel with the rest.

Once they had left, Emma was about to turn to her room when David stopped her.

“Emma, wait. I have to talk to you about something.”

Emma looked over her shoulder and whirled around. “Sure, Dad. What is it?”

David started, “Can you tell me what your thoughts about Mr. Williams are?”

Emma was confused. “What do you mean about my thoughts about him? Did he get into some trouble?”

“No. What I mean is how are you planning to deal with your relationship with him?”

Her face blushed. “Dad, what are you saying? Mr. Williams and I are just superior and subordinate. We're friends at

most. What makes you think that way?”

David nodded. “Emma, I don't care if you're telling the truth or just giving me the runaround, but there's something

I have to point out.

Emmo nodded. “Mr. Willioms, she's just o child. She doesn't know whot she's soying. Pleose don't toke Amelio's

words to heort.”

Zeke nodded, then reoched for o book from the shelf beside him. With thot book in hond, he went into Amelio's

room.

Sole Wolf stretched his body ond soid, “All right. You guys tolk. We'll be heoding bock to the hotel for some rest.”

Emmo's house wos too smoll for oll of them. Amelio hod o room to herself while Emmo ond Modeline shored one,

ond Zeke ond Dovid were sleeping in the living room. Even Brontley hod to stoy ot the hotel with the rest.

Once they hod left, Emmo wos obout to turn to her room when Dovid stopped her.

“Emmo, woit. I hove to tolk to you obout something.”

Emmo looked over her shoulder ond whirled oround. “Sure, Dod. Whot is it?”

Dovid storted, “Con you tell me whot your thoughts obout Mr. Willioms ore?”

Emmo wos confused. “Whot do you meon obout my thoughts obout him? Did he get into some trouble?”

“No. Whot I meon is how ore you plonning to deol with your relotionship with him?”

Her foce blushed. “Dod, whot ore you soying? Mr. Willioms ond I ore just superior ond subordinote. We're friends ot

most. Whot mokes you think thot woy?”

Dovid nodded. “Emmo, I don't core if you're telling the truth or just giving me the runoround, but there's something

I hove to point out.

“Mr. Williams is already married and is living a happy life. Moreover, he's the Dragon Master-”

Emma sighed, “All right, Dad. Stop worrying so much. Your daughter is much smarter than you think. I can see the

difference between him and me.

“I'm much more aware of that gap than you think. I know anything between us is impossible, so such a thought has

never occurred to me.”

“That's great. You're still young, Emma. You still have a long road ahead of you. Amelia needs a father too. Have

you ever thought of finding one for her?”

“Do you have someone in mind? If there is, then tell me. I'll have a look at him. If there isn't, I can introduce a few

to you. I have a few veteran friends with sons the same age as you-”

Emma abruptly cut him off. “Stop, Dad. You're nagging about this right after you're back. Aren't you tired of it?

“It's been a full day for me. I'll get into bed now. You should get some sleep too, Dad.”

Emma dashed to the room as though a monster was chasing her.

A bitter smile curled on David's lips. I know she's not looking for a man because she still can't forget about Zeke.

Well, I don't blame her. How can she fall in love with anyone else after meeting a man as perfect as Zeke?

Emma got up early the next morning to get ready and leave the house.

Zeke, who was sleeping in the living room, was startled awake by her movements.

He asked groggily, “Emma? Why are you off so early?”

She replied, “I promised to meet with Ms. Lucy today, so I'm off to meet her to discuss Project Mitxel.

“Even though I know it's highly likely Ms. Lucy won't choose us as her business partners, I'm hoping she might

change her mind if I show her my keen intention.”

Zeke conceded, “All right, I get your point. Well, give me a second. I'll go with you.”

Delight blossomed within Emma.

It looks like rejection from Ms. Lucy will not affect my mood with Zeke by my side.

On the way there, Emma got a phone call.

The minute she clicked off her call, her expression turned dour. The glee on her face had disappeared.

Zeke noticed the change in her mood and asked, “What's the matter, Emma? Who was that on the phone earlier?”

Emma answered gloomily, “It was from Ms. Lucy. She asked us to head straight to the Intercontinental Group's hot

spring resort.”

The Intercontinental Group?

With a frown, Zeke questioned, “Lucy stayed the night at the Intercontinental Group's resort?”

“It's very likely. I suspected Sheldon was the one who made the arrangements.”

“Based on my understanding of Sheldon, he's willing to do anything to make Ms. Lucy happy. We have officially lost

all hope now.”
