Emma's POV “Ah, never mind. Forget it. I wanted to find something for you, that’s why I’m here,” Joseph asked, looking at me seriously. “What exactly are you talking about?” “About my offer at the party, the discount is still valid for you, how about it? Do you want to hire me?” he asked innocently again. Crazy! That guy is really crazy! “No! How many times have I told you that I’m not interested in things like that at all? Everything I went through was just an accident!” I explained. “Yeah, I know. But there’s nothing wrong with it if you want, Ah, can I stay at your house for a few days?” I widened my eyes when I heard his words. Is that guy sane? We just met, I didn’t let him in, and what time? Does he want to stay for a while? Seriously! Is he sane? “We’re just helping each other, isn’t that beneficial to us?” he continued while looking at me seriously. “You’d better get out of here than say something unreasonable like this!” I said in annoyance. “Are you kicking me out?” he asked me again. He thought I wanted him to stay here. Were my words unclear? What was that man talking about? Just nonsense? I was fed up with it all. I thought it was useless. “No, I won’t kick you out; it’s just that my children need me so much. If you’re still here, how can I take care of them?” Joseph was silent for a moment then said, “Why don’t you just let me in? You can take care of the children too?” Did I hear the man’s words correctly? “No, it will distract the children because there are foreign guests. You’d better get out of here, I’m busy!” "Hey! What do you mean by unknown? It's also unknown because of you, you can introduce the children to me right now, what's so difficult? Joseph said while looking at me who was now also staring at Joseph closely. "Don't you have another job until you come here?" "Of course I do, do you know what my job is? Besides, there's time before I start work, so I chose to come here," Joseph answered very silly. A very noble job as a pimp. I really can't stop thinking about the man in front of me "Yes, I'll go back inside. If you still want to be here, please." I was about to leave Joseph but my steps stopped when Joseph's voice interrupted him. "What do you want to do? Is this how you treat guests?" I felt embarrassed! "My children need me, didn't I tell you? How many times do I have to repeat it?" I said, now I'm standing up from my seat. Besides, I seem to be annoyed with Joseph's arrival. What other nonsense topics is that person talking about? It makes me embarrassed with the man. Joseph took a deep breath and got up from his chair. "Okay then, I'll go, but if I have time I'll come back here," said Joseph. Emma only replied to Joseph's words with a forced smile, then went into the house and closed the door tightly. Logan's pov I still want to be at Emma's house, I want to see my children. I'm sure they are my children, but I am interested in Emma's response. It seems that the woman is not comfortable with my presence in her house. I know from the way she talks to me. Like it or not, I have to go back home. What can I do? Forcing Emma to send me home? If the woman doesn't want to, then what else should I do? My goal was also for Emma to tell me to come into her house, but that hope was immediately dashed when the woman only told me to sit on her porch. I saw Emma immediately close the door tightly, even though I was still standing in the doorway. Did that woman really not let me in? I could only exhale heavily; if it was like this, how would I know? Go home! Yes, that's all I can do right now. Where else are you going? With a feeling of reluctance, I now started walking out of Emma's yard. "I'm sure, they are my children," I said softly. Yes, I am very sure of that; after all, my blood flows in their bodies. An idea suddenly came to my head. Unconsciously, I smiled thinly, thinking about what I was thinking. "Yes, it seems like a very good idea," I monologued again. It didn't take long for me to walk towards the house. When I arrived home I immediately looked for Scarlett. Yes, only Scarlett could help me this time, only her. "Scarlett?" She called when she entered the house. My steps continued to explore everywhere to look for Scarlett, but it seemed there was no sign of Scarlett around the house. Ah, where did that woman go in a desperate time like this? Usually, she often appears suddenly. So where did Scarlett go this time? "Scarlett!" I called again because you still haven't seen the woman. I let out a heavy sigh when there was no sign of Scarlett in the house. I had wasted a few minutes, but the woman was nowhere to be found. "Where did she go?" I said angrily. I lay down on a chair in the main house while waiting for Scarlett to arrive. My mind was still focused on the children and also Emma. Somehow, I was very sure that they were my children. Do I have an emotional bond with them? So, somehow, I feel like they are my children! But I think I'm pretty sure. "What are you doing here?" Suddenly a voice interrupted me, breaking my reverie. I immediately lifted my head and found Scarlett staring at her in confusion. Ah, where was that woman when I was looking for her? So annoying! Scarlett immediately took a seat in the empty chair right in front of me. "Where have you been?" I asked. "Does it matter to you? It's my business, what's wrong?" I looked at Scarlett with an annoyed look. "I was looking for you a few minutes ago, but you weren't here. Where have you been?" "There's something I need to take care of. What are you looking for in me? Is there something important? About what?" Scarlett asked, looking at me with a confused look. Can I say it's important? Yes, about Emma. Can I mention important things? After all, this should be very important, right? I've made plans for this too. "Emma," I replied. "What's wrong? What did you do with that woman, ah, I mean, what do you want to do? Do you have a plan?" She asked. I stared at Scarlett intently and nodded in response. "Yes." "What? What do you want to talk or tell me?” “It’s easy; I just want you to take care of Emma; ​​don’t let anyone hurt her,” I said firmly. But now Scarlett looked at me with a very unpredictable gaze. Scarlett rolled her eyes and then looked back at me with a sharp gaze. “Why not, Logam? That should be your job, you should also learn how to help someone!” Scarlett said angrily. “Yes, I know. I have a plan, so I ask for your help, Scarlett. So, you protect Emma from anyone who hurts her, how do you do it? See, you can do it?” Scarlett cleared her throat in response. I knew that the woman must have helped Emma without me asking, but I still had to remind her so I could make sure Emma was safe later. “What’s your plan?” I asked. I was silent for a moment then answered, “You’ll find out later.” "Hey! That's so annoying! How could you not tell me this?" she said, pointing at me. I didn't want to tell Scarlett, but I didn't think it was the right time. Scarlett would understand eventually. "You'll find out later, Scarlett. No need to act like a child." I quickly got up from my seat and headed to my room. Now that I had conveyed my message to Scarlett, all I had to do was do what I wanted to do. “Just talking about something like this, are you going to say to look for me? Actually, without you saying it, I already know what I have to do, Logan! Shouldn’t you be the one who learns to find help for Emma when she’s in danger?” I stopped my intention to step forward when I heard Scarlett’s words. I could see the woman staring at me. “It’s not like that, didn’t I tell you? Besides, I can’t find Emma all of a sudden. You should know that,” I said. “How long are we going to be like this?” I don’t know how long I have to do something like this, but what’s for sure is that I’m waiting for Emma to be ready. Yes, that’s what I’m waiting for, waiting for Emma to be ready to accept me, ah, my true self maybe. I don’t want Emma to just walk away from me after I explain everything. No, I don’t want that to happen. If Emma walks away, she will automatically distance the children from me too. "Until everything is ready, I don't know yet, but in the meantime, I need your help, Scarlett." "Okay, then what are your plans this time?" "In the meantime, I'll let you know if I need help. After that, you'll find out for yourself later." Scarlett just nodded briefly then got up from her seat and left me alone.
