Chapter 239
“Could you explain the idea behind your quilting design?”
The host couldn’t understand sign language.
But Emery could understand.
However, Emery didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to answer
Bethany in sign language.
He was nervous, worried that people would find out about his
relationship with Bethany.
Payton’s mom was there, and if she found out that Bethany was
actually his mom…
The problem he faced was no longer that his mom was mute,
but that he had lied to others.
People were afraid of lying because after one lie, they would
need countless more lies to cover it up.
The host saw Bethany using sign language and asked Emery in
surprise, “Emery, do you know Ms. Bethany? Look, Ms. Bethany
is using sign language to talk to you. Can you really understand
sign language? That’s amazing! Can you help me translate what

Ms. Bethany just said to you?”
The host held the mic toward Emery, and everyone was waiting
for his answer.
Emery was very angry.
Mom knew he entered the quilting contest, but she still came to
be the main judge. Being the main judge was one thing, but she
even asked him questions in sign language on purpose.
Emery just told the host, “I couldn’t understand what the judges
were trying to say!”
The host didn’t know, so he took back the mic and said to
Bethany, “Ms. Bethany, I’m afraid you’ll have to use the voice
device to ask your question. Emery doesn’t understand sign
language.”
At this moment, Julio stood up and just left his seat. Then
Terrence got up, walked over to Bethany, and stared coldly at
Emery.
Then an arm reached across Bethany’s back, braced on the table,
and someone bent down to the mic and said in a low voice, “I
can read sign language, I’ll help Ms. Bethany translate.”
Bethany was wrapped in Terrence’s arms, and for a moment,
the atmosphere around them got kind of weird.
Kyson raised his eyebrows.
Vincent didn’t even understand what Terrence was doing.
Emery stood on the stage, almost breaking out in a cold sweat.
He didn’t know what his dad really wanted to do.
Terrence’s cold and harsh voice came through the microphone
and spread across the whole venue.
“Emery, Ms. Bethany asked you what the idea behind designing
this quilting was?”
Emery’s picture of the lamb kneeling to drink milk made
Terrence really mad.
Since he knew how great a mother’s love was, he still said he
didn’t understand sign language in front of so many people.
Kyson was right.
When kids made mistakes, you had to teach them right away.
Recently, Emery really let him down.
Emery stood on the stage and suddenly started crying out loud,
“Wah
The host quickly tried to calm him down.
I just heard Terrence say in a deep voice. “Don’t cry!”
Krista stood up, walked quickly over to Terrence, and said.
anxiously. “Terrence, what are you doing? He’s just a kid. In
front of all these people, do you want to traumatize him?”
Terrence’s scarlet lips were pressed tight. Because he yelled at
her. Emery didn’t dare to cry anymore, but she was still sobbing
and choking up.
Looking at him like that, Terrence couldn’t help but feel a bit
sorry for him again.
Emery was Bethany’s baby, and also his baby.
When Emery was born and carried out of the delivery room, he
felt what it was like to be a dad for the first time. As tough as he
was, his eyes still got wet.
