Joseph Lancaster's words sounded like an explanation, more like he was desperately trying to distance himself from their relationship, with a tone of reluctance, as if his daughter took the initiative to get close to him.
Emily Zimmerman could see her father's displeasure, and she stole a glance at Joseph Lancaster, saying shyly, "Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, you misunderstood. Joseph drank too much last night, I was worried, so I stayed to take care of him... It's not what you think."
Emily Zimmerman's explanation finally made Augustus Zimmerman's expression a bit better, and Lorelei Howard quickly reacted, agreeing with a smile.
"Our Joseph can't hold his liquor well, we don't even know how much trouble he caused you last night, Emily. After breakfast, take a nap, and in the afternoon, Aunt will take you to the department store to buy some clothes."
"No need, Aunt, I have some at home." Emily Zimmerman shyly said, and again, secretly glanced at Joseph Lancaster.
