Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall by Colby Stanford
Chapter 148

Chapter 148

Ida looked at Nigel, wanting to kick him. “Scumbag! I gave you all my pocket money. Return the money to me!”

Emma could not help but frown when she heard this. ‘This guy even asked Ida for money… she thought.

Nigel knelt on the ground and cried, “It’s not that I don’t want to pay it back. But I’ve spent it all. I won’t be able to return it in a short period!”

“What!” Ida cried even harder!

She lost both love and money.

Lane was right. Guys online were just after her money and body.

Emma looked down at Nigel calmly. “Where did you spend it?”

“I… I bought games,” Nigel confessed.

‘What a trash!‘ Emma thought.

“I don’t care how but you must pay it back to Ida within three days!” Emma said.

“Three days? That’s impossible…” Nigel said.

“I’ll break your legs then!” Emma said.

Nigel cried out upon thinking how Emma had broken his finger with ease, “Alright! Three days then!”

Emma forced him to sign a contract and only let him leave after confirming that he’d give the money back to Ida in

three days.

Nigel was taught a lesson. Yet Ida’s mood was terrible. She couldn’t help crying.

Although she had known Nigel not for long, she had treated him as her first love.

She didn’t expect things to mess up like that.

Emma was supposed to have a feast with Liam tonight. But she couldn’t stand leaving Ida alone on the street when she saw Ida’s lost look.

Hence, Emma called Liam. “Honey… Can you do me a favor?”

When Liam heard her soft voice, he also answered in a gentle tone: “Yes?”

“My friend has just broken up. Can I bring her to dinner with us tonight? I’ll pay for her share.”

Emma’s serious tone made the man on the other end of the phone laugh.

He was not very willing to have another person, but since his wife had asked, he could only agree.

“I’ll call the restaurant manager and add a seat,” Liam said.

“Hubby, you are so nice!” Emma said.

At dinner time, they went to Bouchon Bistro.

Emma had always liked French dishes.

Ida was in a bad mood today, so Emma ordered a lot of food, including sweets that girls usually like.

It was said that sweet food helped when someone was upset.

Ida took a bite of the steak. It was so delicious that she was about to cry.

“Oh my god, this is the most delicious thing I’ve ever tried!” said Ida, “Emma, I am so envious of you. You are an amazing person and your boyfriend loves you so much.”

Liam was sitting opposite the two girls but Ida didn’t really dare to take a careful look at Emma’s “boyfriend” because he was too handsome and his aura was so strong that it made Ida fear.

Emma smiled and comforted her. “Just focus on improving yourself. And you will have it too in the future.”

Ida seemed to be inspired. “Yes! I will! I’ll study hard. Once I am rich, I’ll bring you to fancy restaurants too!”

After the meal, Emma sent Ida off and got into the car hand in hand with Liam.

As soon as the car door closed, Liam kissed Emma.

“Ugh…” Emma was caught off guard by the domineering and irresistible kiss,

Emma’s beautiful eyes flashed with surprise. Liam held the back of her neck with his big hand and said in a charming voice, “Honey, you didn’t even look at me just now.”

Emma’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the word “honey.” She thought that was the first time that Liam had addressed her this way.

Those words were a bit embarrassing, but his low, magnetic voice made it sexy instead.

Emma’s breathing also quickened. She could feel his breath on her face. “What did you call me?”

Chapter 148

“Honey,” Liam answered, still kissing her. “Aren’t you?”

Liam tilted his head slightly and looked straight at her with his deep eyes.

“Yes… but I didn’t mean to ignore you. My friend has just broken up, you know. She is sad,” Emma answered.

“You served her a lot of food.” Liam was jealous.

Emma remembered that she had also picked up food for him just now. “I got some for you too.”

“Yes.” The man smiled meaningfully. “Not enough…”

By the time Emma understood what he meant, he had kissed her again.

Under the quiet night, the car smelt like love.

A few days later, Emma received an email from Charon Military School. She had been successfully accepted!

Lane received the email too.

On the first day of school, Emma saw another person, Bob.

She didn’t expect to see him there. In her memory, Bob was more talented in science.

“Hey, Bob, are you studying here too?”

Bob, in a white outfit, smiled brightly.

“Yeah. Mr. Hall has always wanted me to join the army, but I am not really into fighting. To make him happy, I

enrolled in Charon to get some years of training.”

Emma thought about it carefully for a while before realizing that the “Mr. Hall” was referring to Simon.

Simon was Liam’s father, so she was Simon’s daughter–in–law.

Bob was 6.06 feet and one year older than Emma, yet Simon was his grandfather. So, Emma was Bob’s aunt–in–law.

Emma felt a bit awkward thinking of this. She cleared her throat. “Ahem, me too. Let’s work hard together!”

“Okay,” Bob replied.

Bob stared at Emma’s back until she was out of sight.

Emma’s graceful figure and her long hair made Bob lost in thought. He found her more and more dazzling.

He had been paying attention to her silently and saw her shine.

Chapter 148

First, Emma saved Mr. Quinn and Otis Hart. Later on, she appeared on a reality show and became a member of the Pharmaceutical Medical Association. Some media even revealed that she was Grail…

She was so dazzling that he felt like she was out of reach. At the thought of this, Bob felt upset.

“Wow, that girl is so pretty. Is this the feeling of first love?” Behind Bob, a tall boy dressed fashionably came over.

Erza followed Bob’s gaze and looked at Emma. Bob came back to his senses and glanced at him coldly. “Did you have a first love again?”

Ezra could feel the coldness in Bob’s eyes and laughed, “Come on, don’t look at me like that, I was just joking.”

Bob did not say anything, but his eyes were unusually cold.

Erza and Bob had been friends since they were young. He was bad at school but very strong.

The Burnson family was engaged in the military so it was very likely that Erza would join the army too.

However, he was handsome and unrestrained, so he was seen as a playboy.

They stood at the gate, one was quiet and the other was sporty. Their appearances attracted everyone’s attention.

Erza said, “Let’s go! Charon has strict rules. We shouldn’t be late.”

On the other side, Emma and Lane had just found out which class they were assigned to.

“I’m in Class 9, Emma, Emma. Which class are you in?” Lane asked.

Emma looked at her information bar. “I’m in Class One.”

Lane looked a bit disappointed. “So we are not in the same class. Well, alright. But let’s eat together after training, okay?”

“Sure,” Emma replied.
