"Not to think too much?"

Joanne shook her head and said, "Brother, this... is too difficult."

Chris knew that it was not easy, so he distracted Joanne from it. "Where is Emily?"

"He and Wendy are next door." Joanne suddenly realized something and looked at Chris in a daze. "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Chris was thinking that Emily could be a bargaining chip in their negotiation with Rowdy.

In this way, the negotiation would at least not be dominated by Rowdy.

"Joanne, I know you don't want to do so." Chris said, "But now, Aunt Helen and Aunt Iris are in danger, so we can only use Emily. Of course, we won't really hurt him."

"Brother, listen to me first."

Joanne reported to Chris every word that Emily had just said.

Chris's heart was not made of concrete and steel, and he was somewhat moved.

However, no matter how sensible Emily was, it could not change the fact that he was Rowdy's son.

Chris made up his mind and said, "Since Emily himself is willing, things will be easier. I will contact Brian."

After that, Chris glanced at Yuna. Among them, Yuna had the deepest relationship with Emily, so she was qualified to express her opinion on this matter.

Yuna closed her eyes and avoided Chris's glance, which obviously meant that it was all up to Chris.

She did not want Emily to go back, but in the current situation, Emily had to go back.

To say the least, it was impossible for Emily... to stay here forever.

In this case, it was meaningless for her to struggle.

It would be better to let him go.

Chris soon finished his call and handed the phone to Joanne. "Brian has something to tell you."

Joanne took it and walked to the French windows. "Honey."

"Yep." Brian responded to Joanne in a particularly gentle tone. "Wesley and I are in Prime Villas. It's very safe. You don't have to worry about us."

"I get it." Joanne tried to stop herself from crying. "You also don't have to worry about me. Do what you do."

"All right." Brian asked, "What about Aiden and Romy?"

"They're in the children's room. Martha and Simon are taking care of them." Joanne looked at the second floor and continued, "Martha doesn't come to me, which means that Aiden and Romy behave themselves. You don't have to worry about them."

Brian smiled and said, "I have something to do later. Maybe I don't have time to call you. Go to bed early."

"Okay. Be careful," said Joanne.

Brian promised her and hung up the phone.

Joanne grabbed the phone, a little stunned.

When talking to her, no matter how calm Brian sounded, he was actually in a hurry. After all, Brian used to wait for her to hang up the phone.

He probably couldn't rest tonight, could he?

Chris came over and asked, "What did Brian say?"

"Nothing. He just chatted with me." Joanne returned the phone to Chris. "I'm just a little worried about Brian, and I'm more worried about Mom."

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable for Joanne to be worried.

Chris did not comfort her, but asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Joanne shook her head and then remembered something. "Freya and Yuna haven't eaten yet."

Chris called the club and asked the manager to send the food over. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Joanne. "I'll call Freya and Wendy over for dinner."

He left Joanne's villa, and walked to the next door.

In the villa next door, Wendy, and Freya coaxed Emily to eat a piece of cake.

When Chris entered the door, he saw Wendy wiping Emily's mouth with a piece of tissue.

After all, being Chris's wife, Freya immediately noticed him and ran over. "Didn't you say that you would come back later today?"

"Be careful. Don't run around." Chris held Freya and said, "Brian called me and asked me to come back early."

"You have known what happened to Aunt Iris and Aunt Helen?" Freya thought for a moment and continued, "Your coming back early is a good thing. Brian and Boss Hayes are not here, and we need your support here."

With Chris around, she and Joanne could at least feel more at ease.

Chris held Freya's hand and said, "Go to Joanne's house for dinner. Whether you have an appetite or not, you have to eat something."

Freya stroked her lower abdomen and nodded in agreement. She turned to call Wendy, "Wendy, let's have dinner."

Wendy replied with an "OK" and stretched out her hand to Emily, signaling to the little boy to follow.

Emily shook his head and said, "Sister Wendy, I'm not hungry. I'm here waiting for Auntie Yuna to come back."

It could be seen that the little boy was not in the mood for dinner.

Wendy was thinking about how to deal with Emily when Chris came over.

Among them, Chris was the one who Emily was most unfamiliar with and was most afraid of.

He could feel that Chris did not like him.

Now that his daddy had kidnapped Granny Helen, this gentleman must dislike him even more.

Emily lowered his head and did not dare to look into Chris's eyes.

Remembering what Joanne had just said, Chris raised his hand and touched Emily's head, as gentle as when Wendy touched the little boy.

Feeling Chris's kindness, Emily raised his head and looked at Chris in surprise.

Chris asked, "Do you want to help us bring Granny Helen back?"

Emily nodded very hard. "Yes!"

"Then you need to be strong enough before helping us." Chris stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."

Emily stared at Chris's palm, which was several times bigger than his. He compressed his small lips, put his hand on it, and held Chris's hand.

Wendy smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."

When the three of them arrived at the villa next door, the manager of the club had already sent the food over. All the dishes were excellent in color, aroma, and taste. They were steaming, which made people feel warm in the cold winter.

However, they had this meal in silence.

Not to mention Emily who was the most talkative one, even Romy who loved to cry, miraculously quieted down. Martha had already coaxed her to fall asleep.

After dinner, a bodyguard ran in and told Joanne, "Mrs. Lambert, a young man named Kai is outside. The checkpoint has confirmed that he is Mr. Mu's man!

"Kai?" Yuna said, "Let him in."

Then, she explained to Joanne, "Wesley trusts him very much."

Joanne thought for a moment. "When I went to Glasgow, I seemed to have seen this person."

At this moment, Kai came in from the outside, dressed in black. He wore a pair of black leather boots, and when he stepped on the ground, the heavy and solemn sounds always carried murderous intent.

Kai noticed Yuna first.

When Yuna was still with Wesley, they had a good relationship. Later, Yuna exposed in public that she was working undercover, and Wesley ordered that she be put to death. In the end, he let Yuna go.

Kai had once thought that he would never meet Yuna again.

But as the saying went, nothing in life was certain.

Not only did he meet Yuna again, but she was also pregnant with Brother Wesley's child.

Kai nodded at them all and greeted them one by one. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Chris.

"Please be seated." Chris led Kai to the living room and asked, "Wesley asked you to come over?"

"Yep," Kai said. "Brother Wesley asked me to stay at the top of the mountain for now. If I can help, he will contact me."

Wesley sent Kai to the top of the mountain, just to protect Yuna and Joanne.

Chris said, "I'll provide accommodation for you."

"Don't bother, Mr. Scott. I can go to find the manager myself." Kai looked at Emily and asked in a low voice, "Is that kid Rowdy's son?"

Chris nodded and did not speak.

"I only know that Rowdy has a son, but I didn't expect him to be at such an age." Kai sneered. "However, it's just right to use him to pin down Rowdy."

Regarding using Emily to pin down Rowdy, Chris had mentioned it to Brian on the phone. Brian only said that he would discuss it with Wesley.

Tonight, Brian and Wesley would make a decision, wouldn't they?

Seeing that Chris did not speak, Kai directly frowned and said, "Mr. Scott, do you hesitate just because Rowdy's son is just a child? Rowdy can break the rule that no old people and children can be hurt. Why do we have too many scruples?"

"..." Chris just said, "Let's wait for Brian and Wesley to decide."

Kai thought about it and nodded. "Alright."

Yuna took Emily over and called Kai, "I want to have a talk with you."

"Go ahead." Kai stared at Yuna and said, "I'm listening."

"Not here." Yuna said, "Go to my house."

Kai was surprised, but he still got up and said goodbye to Chris and others. Then he followed Yuna back to the villa next door.

Wendy checked the time and said, "I should go back too, but... I'm afraid."

Brian and Gavin had ever told her to guard against Rowdy.

Later, Rowdy didn't take any real actions, so she didn't take it seriously.

Until today, Rowdy was so crazy to kidnap two old people.

If she also fell into Rowdy's hands, her cousin-in-law and Boss Hayes would be in a more unfavorable condition.

The current situation was terrible enough. Wendy didn't want to make any more trouble, but she wanted to go back to accompany Gavin.

Chris said, "Don't be afraid. I'll send you back to the hospital."

Wendy's eyes lit up, but she was worried about Joanne and Freya. "Is it okay for my cousin and cousin-in-law to be here?"

"It's safe here," Joanne said. "Don't worry about us. Go ahead."

Wendy ran to hug Joanne. "Cousin, I know you are worried about Aunt Iris, but my cousin-in-law is so powerful that he can definitely save her! So, you should eat well and sleep well, and wait for him to come back. Don't worry too much!"

Joanne smiled and said, "Since you said so, I will listen to you."

Wendy let go of her and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Joanne and Freya sent Wendy to the parking lot. After watching the car drive away, they returned to the villa.
