Deep Affection: Honey, Come Back To Me

Chapter 247 Playing Hard To Get

Angela looked at Emma as if she was accepting a daughter-in-law into the family. The more Angela looked at Emma, the more she adored her. Angela held her hand kindly and said, "Are you okay with me calling you Emma?"

"You can call me whatever you want, Auntie." It was hard for Emma to refuse. Angela was so amiable that it just seemed rude to reject her.

It was even more difficult to imagine that this elegant and knowledgeable woman was James' mother.

She once received a love letter from James and at a glance instantly knew that it was copied straight from the Internet. He wasn't much of a writer at all.

It was a complete joke.

James probably wasn't very well read either.

Angela was ecstatic. She was about to call Emma daughter-in-law, but she was afraid of scaring the little girl.

She began to pry a little more. "Emma, do you have a boyfriend?"

James immediately blurted out, "Yes."

Emma, assuredly said, "No."

They both exclaimed simultaneously, affirming their lack of understanding. Up until this point, everyone thought that they were actually quite good together.

Emma was slightly stunned and repeated with a smile, "No, I don't have a boyfriend."

James res

She poked her son's head and angrily barked, "Do you know what playing hard to get is?"

"I don't know," James said bluntly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone erupted into laughter.

Dora had a sudden realization. "Dad, is that how you ended up marrying Mom?"

With one hand on Angela's shoulder, Daniel smiled happily. "Exactly the opposite. Your mother nailed me.

So, boy, use your brain." Daniel looked at his silly son but couldn't blame him for his naivety. He was just worried as all fathers were.

Daniel then left with his wife and daughter, leaving James here. It was the best thing to do right now. James could learn from John how to woo his beloved girl.

After they all left, James still couldn't shake his anxiety about Emma. But his mom was right, he couldn't chase after her.

He had to give Emma time to think it over.

James knew he needed to take the time to improve himself as well. He needed to know how to be charming and powerful much like John.

James' mother was right. Emma was not a cheap woman and she wouldn't be fooled by cheap gimmicks.

Emma deserved nothing but the best.

James knew what he had to do. He had to become a man worthy of Emma.
