Aunt Helen did not know what had happened, but at the moment, Emily seemed to be unable to make it clear.

She could only hold the little boy in her arms, comfort him softly, and wipe away his tears.

This time, Emily was really sad. He cried so sadly and kept shedding tears as if his eyes were a tap, which made people's hearts ache.

Iris liked children very much, especially after the birth of Aiden and Romy. When she saw children, she couldn't help feeling soft-hearted.

Iris heard Emily crying like this, and her heart ached as if she were hearing Aiden and Romy cry.

Iris sat next to Aunt Helen and touched Emily's head. "Does the little boy miss his mother?"

When Romy was looking for Joanne, she would also cry the way Emily did. It was as if he had been abandoned for no reason, and his every cry made people feel sorry for him.

Emily stopped and raised his head. He looked at Iris with tears in his eyes and opened his mouth, about to say something, but he choked with sobs and couldn't speak. In the end, he continued to cry, which made people feel more worried.

"He does miss his mother," Iris asked gently, "where is your mom?"

Aunt Helen had heard about Emily's mommy, but since Iris had already asked about it, she could not stop her, let alone answering the question on behalf of Emily.

Emily sobbed for a long time before saying in English, "I've lost my mom, and I never saw her. Everyone says that my mommy has gone to heaven."

Iris was a little surprised. She looked at Aunt Helen and wanted to ask her for confirmation.

Aunt Helen nodded, indicating that Emily was telling the truth.

Iris looked at Emily and felt more sorry for the child.

This child's fifth birthday had just passed, and he required maternal love the most at this age. However, he told her, in such a tone, that his mommy had already gone to heaven and that he had lost his mommy as if he had already accepted the reality.

"Emily, don't cry," Iris said, "even if you never saw your mommy, you have to believe that she loves you very much. She doesn't want you to cry so badly."

Emily rubbed his red eyes and said, "Granny Iris, did Mommy tell you this? Do you know my mommy?"

"I don't know your mommy." Iris took the opportunity to comfort the little boy. "But Granny Iris is Uncle Lambert's mommy. No mommy will want her child to be sad. If you don't believe me, think about Auntie Joanne. When the babies cry, Auntie Joanne will be unhappy, won't she?"

Emily thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes!"

Iris continued, "Also, people in heaven can see us. If your mommy sees you crying, she will be as unhappy as Auntie Joanne."

Emily looked up at the sky, and it was still snowing. He suddenly asked, "Granny Iris, can it snow in heaven? Will my mommy feel cold?"

Iris knew that Emily was just concerned about his mommy.

For no reason, she felt sad. Then she said soothingly, "No, it's not cold in heaven. People who live in heaven are very happy."

Emily wiped away his tears and laughed. "Then I'll stop crying."

Iris also laughed out. "Good boy."

When Emily smiled again, Aunt Helen's heartache finally stopped and she felt relieved. She asked Emily, "You come here again as soon as you went back, right? Have you eaten yet?"

Emily lowered his head, played his fingers, and did not say anything.

At this time, Milo came in and said, "Emily hasn't eaten yet."

"Why didn't you eat after you went back?" Aunt Helen asked Emily, "are you hungry now?"

"..." Emily did not want to answer, so he lowered his head even more and focused on his fingers. It was obvious that he was trying to avoid the question.

Aunt Helen knew that Emily was not an impolite child and that he would not keep silent for no reason.

Aunt Helen looked at Milo confusedly. Before asking what had just happened, she saw Milo signaling her to follow him out with his eyes.

Outside, Milo told Aunt Helen everything that had happened just now. Finally, he pleaded, "Coax Emily, please."

Even if Milo was unwilling to admit it, Emily did listen to the two old ladies more than to him and Rowdy.

Aunt Helen had never expected that Emily would make such a scene after going back. Then she understood that the little boy just wanted her and Iris to have a good meal.

Emily promised Yuna that he would protect them, so he would do his best to protect them.

A four-year-old child knew that he had to keep his word, but his Daddy...

Aunt Helen sighed and agreed to Milo's request. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Emily."

The old woman turned back to the house and used a disposable plastic spoon to feed Emily. "Eat some food first. Don't starve yourself."

Emily obediently opened his mouth. He was not picky at all and directly swallowed the food.

Seeing this, Milo asked someone to bring there all the food from the dining room in the old house, and the covers were laid for three.

Aunt Helen filled a bowl of soup for Emily and said, "Drink some soup."

Emily covered his mouth and said, "I'll drink only when you and Granny Iris drink!"

Aunt Helen looked at Milo helplessly.

Milo admitted defeat and said, "I brought here three sets of tableware, which means that you can eat together."

He had long guessed that Emily would use this trick, so he asked someone to bring here three sets of tableware.

Sure enough, better safe than sorry.

Not long after that, Rowdy called and asked about Emily's condition.

Milo went out and answered, "He listened to Mrs. Helen, and he is eating." After hesitating for a moment, Milo continued, "Brother Rowdy, I always feel that Emily is too obedient to that old lady. I'm a little worried. What if Emily relies on the old lady as much as he relies on Miss Xu?"

"Don't worry. If the two old ladies go back, Yuna will come back," Rowdy said, "do you think Emily will still remember the old lady when Yuna is with him?"

Milo felt that Rowdy's words made sense, so he nodded and said, "I see. Then... shall we let Emily stay with the old lady or take him back?"

"Let him stay with the old lady," Rowdy said, "I just looked fiercely at him, so he won't be willing to go with you."

Milo did not go back. He just ordered some people to guard here and then went out.

In the room, Emily soon finished eating. Without crying again, he asked Aunt Helen to wipe his mouth, slid off the chair, and asked the two old ladies, "Granny Helen, Granny Iris, where will you sleep tonight?"

Aunt Helen pointed to a room in the yard and said, "We'll sleep there."

Emily ran over to have a look. With a "wow," he ran back and said, "Granny Helen, your bed is so big. Can I sleep with you?"

"No, that room is too cold. You will catch a cold," Aunt Helen said, "you have your own room, right? Listen to me, sleep in your own room, okay?"

"No," Emily refused directly, "Daddy doesn't sleep with me. I can't sleep alone. If you don't want to sleep with me, I'll sleep in the living room!"

Aunt Helen smiled helplessly. "Emily, your daddy won't agree."

Emily pursed his lips mischievously and said confidently, "Leave this to me!"

He was a talented baby!

Aunt Helen did not know what the little boy would do, so she just smiled and said, "Then let's talk about it in the evening."

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Rowdy came back. When he heard that Emily was still with Aunt Helen, he came over directly.

Aunt Helen and Iris were sitting on chairs while Emily was lying prone on a chair in between them. He was talking and laughing with the two old ladies, and the joy on his face could not be hidden.

Rowdy could not understand why Emily could get along so well with outsiders.

Seeing Rowdy, Iris and Aunt Helen both put on a slightly different look. Emily followed the gaze of the two old ladies and also saw his daddy.

Emily suddenly slid off the chair, opened his arms, and stood in front of Aunt Helen and Iris. "Daddy, what are you going to do?"

"I won't do anything to them for the time being," Rowdy looked at Emily and ordered, "follow me."

"No," Emily turned his head and said, "I won't go with you. I won't eat with you. I won't listen to you either."

Rowdy frowned again and said, "What do you want?"

"I want to eat the dishes cooked by Granny Iris and Granny Helen!" Emily shouted loudly, "as for the dishes you ask someone else to cook, I... won't... eat... at... all..."

"You won't eat at all? Okay," Rowdy said, "I'll leave you hungry."

Emily was not intimidated at all. He sat cross-legged on the chair and snorted toughly as if he were going to be stubborn to the end.

Rowdy left without looking back. Emily did not go with him, and he ate nothing for dinner.

It did not matter much to the two old ladies whether to eat nothing for a meal. They could bear to suffer from hunger, but Emily was too young to starve. Then... he cried from hunger.

Aunt Helen did not know whether to laugh or cry, and she said, "Emily, go back to your daddy. He must have asked someone to cook something for you. Listen to me, go back to eat."

"No!" Emily turned his head angrily. "I won't go back even if I starve to death. If I die, I'll go to find my mommy. I don't want to live with Daddy anyway!" After that, he cried again.

"..." Aunt Helen did not know what to say.

At this time, Emily suddenly slipped off his chair and looked up while walking around the room. He seemed to be looking for something.

He was right. There was indeed a camera.

If his guess was right, his daddy must be watching him through this camera.

Emily stared at the camera, and his cheeks were bulging.

Rowdy vaguely guessed what Emily was going to do and called someone to pay attention to it.

However, it was too late.

Emily dragged over a stool, picked up half a brick from outside, and threw it directly at the camera.

There was sand on the brick, so after the brick was thrown, the sand fell down into Emily's eyes. Also, the brick was about to fall down and hit his head directly.

Emily rubbed his eyes and was completely unaware that danger was approaching.

Rowdy, who was watching Emily through the camera, realized that Emily would get hurt. He suddenly stood up and ran to the back door.

Milo pulled out the walkie-talkie and shouted at the subordinates who were guarding Aunt Helen and Iris, "Go in and see Emily!"

That brick was fatal to even adults, let alone a four-year-old child like Emily.

If the brick was to hit Emily's head...

Milo did not dare to imagine what would happen.
