Chapter 6 Love for Love

Dora almost praised her husband Tom like a very capable person in front of her father, his ability, personal charisma, and the forth. Even Mrs. Turner couldn't bear to listen to her flaming speech.

Mr. Turner was also speechless. Wouldn't he know what ability his son-in-law was of? But there were things that he was unwilling to say out frankly.

"Dora, you haven't been home for a long time. Don't you have anything else to tell us except for official business?" Mr. Turner reluctantly interrupted.

"Of course there is." Dora got up and walked behind her father, wrapping around his neck, "I miss you, and I hope you are in good health, so I don't need to grow up."

Mr. Turner was finally amused, "No matter how healthy I am, you still have to live your life by yourself, so that I can rest assured."

Dora said with a depressed expression, "I felt very safe before, knowing that I don't have to worry since you and my big brother were always there for me. But I didn't expect Bob..." Dora groaned, "Mom, I have to say this. Why did you trust a necromancer and even get Bob an unidentified woman around him? That sounds ridiculous! I believe that with her being here, Bob wouldn't get recovered even if he could."

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Turner said displeased, "Bob will be fine. Mr. necromancer is very capable. Your dad used to feel dizzy for a while, but no hospitals could figure out the reason. I was so worried at that time. At that time, it was the necromancer who told us to set an artificial hill in the yard. After that, your father hasn't felt dizzy. Isn't he impressive?"

Dora muttered disdainfully, "That just happened by accident."

"We've taken our chances anyway. The Necromancer said that it's called qi-exercising by finding the right girl like he described to apply for the marriage certificate with Bob, be with him, and take care of both his food and his mood. Once his qi is smoothed, his problem will be solved."

Dora raised a question, "Then why is Bob still unwilling to come out to see us? The qi he has collected is all in vain?"

Mrs. Turner pondered for a while, "How could it work so quickly? She has been in our house for less than a week. You have to be patient."

At this time, Jessica took the opportunity and said in a weird tone, "If I were you, I would kick her away. How could you let it happen? She even applied for the marriage certificate with Bob? What a joke to be told by others if it spreads out?"

Mr. Turner scowled and looked at his sister, "Jessica, mind your own business. You have been divorced three times, still not having a stable life but always wearing heavy makeup. Aren't you afraid that you might be the joke in others' eyes?"

Comments like that might be annoying. Jessica pouted high and stomped her feet, "Brother! You promised our parents that you would take care of me for the rest of my life."

Mr. Turner said sincerely, "I am reminding you to learn to reflect on yourself and not to blame others whenever there is a problem."

"Hello? Yeah, I'm listening. Um..." Joy answered the phone and signaled to everyone that he was going to leave first. Taking this opportunity, he got away from this place.

When he walked to the door, he let out a sigh of relief, put the phone that had saved his "life" into his pocket, and walked to Bob's small house.

Emma was too hungry. She didn't eat much at the banquet. Now that she had made great efforts to support Bob up, she was now gulping the rice she made, with her phone playing Joy's song - "Blue Whale".

I am waiting for you in the quiet deep sea.

Accompanying by my dreams, I tell my secrets.

Sinking, sinking, that's quite common in the deep sea.

Jumping, jumping, my moment in the air has become eternal.

I am waiting for you, or a fateful destiny...

Emma hummed vaguely to the music, and soon heard another voice sing the song with the music.

She was startled and immediately put the almost clean plate into the sink and waited with breath-hold.

Soon the figure she expected appeared in front of her.

Joy put his hands in his pockets, stared at her for two seconds, and then laughed, "Are you hungry?"

Humph, in his eyes, she was in the kitchen only because she was hungry? Emma resolutely refused to admit, "No, I just came to pack things up."

Joy's index finger pointed at the corner of her mouth to remind her.

Emma hurriedly raised her hand and touched a grain of rice...

In order to avoid embarrassment, she made an excuse, "Uh... I just saw leftovers, and I'm afraid it would be rotten tomorrow, so... huh, huh."

Joy shrugged, "You don't need to explain. That is your business after all. But there is something I'm very curious about."

"What?" Joy was actually curious about her? Emma almost couldn't believe her ears.

"Why did you accept such a marriage?"

The misunderstanding had gone huge now.

Emma looked at him blankly, finding herself unable to argue. What Joy didn't understand must be why she chose to trade her body for money.

But this was the arrangement of her family, and the choice her sister had to choose. Emma tried to think from her sister's perspective. For the sake of their family, Judy dropped out of school at a young age and went afar to work. With her salary, Emma and their little brother had enough money to go to school. While their father, who only knew gambling, was not helping at all.

Judy did this for their family and for Emma. So if Emma was in her sister's place, she might have made the same decision.

Emma bit her lower lip and gave him a helpless answer, "Because of poverty."

Joy nodded blankly, "That makes sense."

"Of course." Emma's eyes were sour, and the sadness that was suppressed in her heart today was a bit uncontrollable. Finally, tears came to her eyes, "My younger brother and sister need money to go to school, and my dad owes debts outside. If it is not because of poverty, who is unwilling to embrace a simple and pure life?"

Joy was overwhelmed by the appearance of her crying, holding his hands as a way to comfort her, "Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb. I just hope that people who like my music can love for love. That's it."

After speaking, he left.

Emma saw her cat-like face and her red nose on her phone, and she felt regretful. Why did she leave such an impression when they first met?

Joy walked to the door of Bob's room and found that the door wasn't closed, but he still raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Brother, here I am."
