“I never intended to hurt Adrien,” Emmeline said. “If he really is the father of the triplets, I would have been engaged to him by now and eventually married. But who would have known that it was all part of Alana’s scheme?”

“It’s not too late to realize it now,” Julianna said. “It’s better to avoid marrying Adrien and having three children that are not his. We don’t want to raise someone else’s grandchildren, do we?”

“You’re right, Aunt Julianna,” Abel said. “It’s better to clear the air now and avoid any resentment between us.”

“What makes me sad is that,” Julianna sobbed, “I was so angry that I got a heart attack. Adrien is always at the Imperial Palace, indulging in wine and women. He doesn’t even come home anymore. Why did I have to raise such a troublesome son?”

Emmeline lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty even though it was Adrien’s own fault.

She couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if she had married him and he turned out to be the triplets’ daddy.

Emmeline couldn’t help but wonder if Adrien would really change for the better or if he would just fall back into his old habits within two years.

“What is it?” Emmeline asked. “Just tell me, I’ll do everything I can to help.”
