Emma Tonkin said with reddening eyes, "I'm fine."
Her gaze surreptitiously shifted towards Jonas Thompson, afraid that Eve Thompson would continue her questioning, she deflected, "Have you had dinner?"
Eve Thompson felt a pang of pain in her heart, yet she was also discontented with Emma's timidity,"What happened to your face?"
Emma Tonkin quickly shook her head, "Really, it's nothing, let's not talk about it."
"Why won't you say? People are even daring to hit you at home!" Eve Thompson persisted, feigning ignorance, "A bad guy entered our house, we need to call the police!"
Jonas Thompson, who was sitting there as if nothing was wrong reacted to that comment with an embarrassed cough, "Call the police? It was just a momentary loss of control."
Momentary loss of control? Enough to cause Emma Tonkin's face to swell on one side? And that attitude, there wasn't even a hint of guilt!
Eve Thompson felt a surge of rage burning inside her, making her clench her fists.
