Chapter 11

He felt that it was a wise decision to take Louis back after listening to Emma at the beginning; now the two children looked like they had a good relationship.

Because he was busy with work, sometimes he couldn't take care of Emma; although he heard from school teachers that Emma had friends, Emma had never brought friends home, which made him doubt whether his daughter had any close friends.

Now it's good; Emma finally has a companion, which should be beneficial to her growth; it's just that although Louis is sensible, he is a child one year younger than Emma, not a girl, and might not have many common topics with Emma.

So, should he adopt an older girl to be Emma's playmate?

At this moment, David, who was dedicated to his children, thought about the necessity and feasibility of this approach.

There was no problem with the economy; although it would be more tiring, he had two factories and could support it.

Hmm, it's just that he doesn't have a wife now, so adoption is more troublesome; Angela has been saying she would introduce someone, but there is no news, so it is estimated that a suitable one can't be found in a short time. (The adoption procedure must be a sound family with both husband and wife.)

However, I remember there seems to be an orphanage on the community committee side...

As everyone knows, cats can swim.

But today, in the pond of David Grossman's house, an orange cat that didn't know where it came from fell into the water, constantly struggling, but couldn't leave the pond for a long time.

On the second floor, at the window, Emma was drinking a glass of water, watching this scene intently, as if waiting for something.

Finally, the orange cat seemed tired, its struggling movements became slower and slower, and finally, it was taken down by the water and dead leaves little by little, its body completely immersed under the water surface, no longer moving.

Seeing this, Emma smiled; she had been waiting for this scene; now, she could go eat snacks.

Coming to the living room, seeing that hateful guy, it was a pity that she couldn't do anything to him yet, so she could only squeeze out a smile.

"Hi, Louis, good morning."

"Hmm, good morning, Emma."

The two began to eat breakfast, during which Emma looked at Louis from time to time, but Louis didn't change his expression and even smiled provocatively at her.

At this time, David, who had been going out these past two days not knowing what he was doing, came back. "You guys eat first; a cat actually drowned in the pond at home, I have to deal with it first."

After speaking, he took a net and walked out.

He came back after a while, putting down the net while saying to Emma and the two, "You guys must not have thought about what I've been doing these past few days; look forward to it, you'll see a surprise in a few days."

"Oh, is it that a new dating partner has been found?"

Emma said calmly.

"What's wrong, do you care about this?" David paused and asked.

"No."

"Okay, Dad just wants to find someone who gets along well and is good to you, but if you don't want to, then don't look."

Louis was thoughtful; a single father is a very difficult profession; after all, he is taking care of his daughter; it was fine when she was young, but many things are inconvenient when she grows up; finding a new wife, besides personal physiological and psychological factors, the biggest consideration should be for his own daughter.

To this, Emma didn't respond directly, just said.

"Recently, Teacher Ellis is going to award the Citizenship Award; the person who wins the award must have the St. Alden values: faith, honesty, cultivation, and compassion—four qualities; the prize is a gold medal, very big, I think that's very good."

"Oh~ Emma will definitely be able to get that medal, of course, and Louis; no matter which one of you wins the medal, I will feel happy," David smiled and touched Emma's head.

Emma's left fist clenched slightly, and then she continued to think about what to do to get the medal.

Louis, who was eating snacks silently beside her, felt clear in his heart; the tragedy of this medal was finally about to begin.

Sure enough.

The next day.

During class in the classroom.

A wasp didn't know where it came from and flew in; in this strange environment, the big wasp flew around in panic, and the sharp buzzing sound attracted everyone's attention.

Immediately, a series of screams rang out, and a group of children immediately hid in all directions.

Teacher Ellis said, "Calm down, children, I promise it is more afraid than you."

At this time.

Emma stood out calmly; she took a glass and a piece of paper, walked over, covered the wasp, her expression serious and focused, then walked to the window with steady steps and let the wasp fly away.

No panic, no violence, but always maintaining calmness.

In the eyes of all the children, she is simply a superman now!

And in the eyes of Teacher Ellis, Emma now is the best interpretation of the words kindness and courage.

Good child~

She revealed a slight smile. "Thank you, Emma."

"You're welcome, Teacher Ellis."

Louis, who had been sitting all along, yawned, knowing that the script had this disadvantage—there was no surprise at all when the drama was staged, boring.

Actually, if you really want to investigate, there are many loopholes inside: where did the glass come from, how did the big wasp run in...

At this time, Emma suddenly looked at Louis, her eyes seemingly provoking, full of triumph.

Louis smiled and didn't speak.

For the next few days, Emma's performance was perfect.

Helpful, understanding, taking the initiative to help other students, caring for small animals, helping the school worker build the lawn...

And Louis didn't do anything, just like watching a funny clown show, often watching Emma and laughing.

No way.

Children are children; even if they are very smart, they will have limitations; just like now, Emma didn't realize that she was overdoing it at all.

It doesn't look like a normal girl's performance at all.

It looks very hypocritical and artificial.

And for adults who often come into contact with them and have more sufficient social experience, such as elections, speeches, shows, etc., it is already very obvious.

Next, Emma is going to fall, and then start the path of killing the innocent—hmm, it seems it's time for me to take action.

Louis stretched, wanting to protect David while not letting him lose his daughter, so he could only prevent it before it happened and carry out correction on her.

And to correct such an antisocial child, it must be corrected and disciplined before they make a big mistake, otherwise it will only become more and more biased, more and more hopeless.

"Really troublesome."

Louis muttered, continuing to indulge in the study of folk methods; the space on the table contained some special snacks he made mixed with some things, such as mung bean cakes and other foods.

Facts have proven that side-door left paths are easy to learn but hard to master; entry is really easy, but mastery is still difficult.

Afternoon.

Because the girl beside her got a new watch, it looked very exquisite and beautiful, and a group of students gathered around to look at it enviously, chattering.

"Your watch is so cool."

"I have one too; it was a gift for my birthday; I don't wear it much."

"..."

Emma listened quietly from the side, looking at her empty wrist.

Soon.

When running and grabbing each other on the outdoor lawn, the girl and Emma collided, the girl fell with an "ah," and Emma hurriedly helped her up with concern. "Katie, are you okay? I'm sorry."

The girl shook her head and ran again with her friends.

The black female teacher Ellis, who was standing in the middle of the lawn, frowned looking at this scene.
