It was a quadrangle in City Q.
After Bernice returned, Emma kept staying in her room. Deon almost didn't see her all day long. To be exact, he did not see either Emma or her mom.
Every day he would have someone send bird's nests or supper to impress them. He wished they wouldn't forget him. After all, he was Bernice's husband and Emma's father.
However, Bernice was too determined. Ever since she returned, she had locked herself in the room and seen no one except Emma. Deon and his men were at their wit's end.
Since Deon was upset, his men had to pretend being in a bad mood. Otherwise, Deon would definitely punish them.
However, Bernice inside her room was not as melancholy as they had imagined.
Bernice was still child-like. After crying for a while with Emma in her arms, she lay on the bed beside Emma and chatted with her about what happened and who she encountered in the past few years. They laughed incessantly when they talked about something funny.
