Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 265

When the knock came, Karen Hayes wiped her hands and hurried out of the kitchen.

She turned the handle and opened the door to see Emma, and behind her, a man.

Karen Hayes paused for a second, then a perfect smile spread across her face. "Hello, you must be Emma's friend?"

"Yes, hello, ma'am. I'm Nathan."

Nathan presented the gift he had brought with him.

"Oh, my, you shouldn't have! You're too kind. Just coming over is enough, you didn't need to bring anything!"

Karen Hayes insisted, quickly ushering Nathan inside. She opened the shoe cabinet but, after rummaging through it, couldn't find a single pair of men's slippers.

"Oh... the slippers, where are the slippers?"

Seeing her mom struggle to find a pair for Nathan, Emma remembered she hadn't bought any men's slippers when she moved. It had never occurred to her that she'd be having a male guest.

"I'll go buy some! I'll run down to the store! Nath—Nathan, wait here!"

Emma rushed back toward the elevator. By the time she returned, out of breath with a new pair of slippers, Nathan was sitting on the sofa chatting with her mother, who was smiling with satisfaction.

Emma was speechless.

She couldn't help but feel that this scene was a little strange.

"Slippers. Here, put them on."

Emma walked over to Nathan, carrying the newly bought slippers, and placed them at his feet.
