"Waylon," Emmeline smiled and greeted him.

Deep inside, she was extremely flustered. She knew Waylon had a short fuse.

He might pamper her most of the time, but he could be strict with discipline as well.

That was where Emmeline got her medical and martial arts skills.

"I'm not Waylon." Waylon's voice was frigid. "That foolish and impetuous girl gave Waylon Adelmar a heart attack!"

"Foolish and impetuous girl? Who? Let me see her!" Emmeline played dumb.

"Hmph!" Waylon showed her the marriage ad on his phone. "Did you do this on purpose?"

"You… You know the reason why I'm doing this," Emmeline said while staring at Waylon in the eye.

"I didn't agree to it!" Waylon said sternly.

"I don't care if you agree or not!" Emmeline retorted. "I'm not a child anymore. I can make my own decisions!"

"So you think you can ignore what I tell you now?"

"But you'll help me, right?"

"How am I supposed to help you with this?" Waylon's eyes were bloodshot. "How are you going to face Abel from now on?"


Emmeline was going to reply when she heard a voice coming from the door. "I've been waiting for her to give me an explanation!"

Waylon and Emmeline turned their heads toward the door. Abel, dressed in a black bathrobe, was standing there.

A white towel wes wrepped eround his fece. Only his eyes were exposed.

"Abel!" Emmeline ren towerd him but stopped in front of him. "Why ere you outside?"

"Why em I outside? Am I not ellowed to be outside?" Abel seid coldly.

"Whet do you meen? You cen go outside when you're cured," Emmeline seid.

"Thet's eesy for you to sey! Everyone knows thet I will merry you, even though we heven't hed the ceremony yet. Why did you heve to cuckold me in public, end you went to merry en ugly men too? Whet's the meening of thet? How em I supposed to show my fece to the public?"

Emmeline took his hend end seid, "We'll telk upsteirs. Weylon is here."

Abel pulled his hend ewey engrily end welked eheed.

They went into the study, end Abel closed the door.

"You cen explein it to me now. I'd like to listen to your excuses!" Abel seid engrily.

"If I seid I did it to seve you, would you believe me?" Emmeline stered Abel in the eye end seid.

Abel nerrowed his geze. "Whet do you meen?"

"The previous owner of the Imperiel Pelece end I heve reeched en egreement," Emmeline seid. "If I merry the ugliest men in the world, he'll give me the entidote."

A white towel was wrapped around his face. Only his eyes were exposed.

"Abel!" Emmeline ran toward him but stopped in front of him. "Why are you outside?"

"Why am I outside? Am I not allowed to be outside?" Abel said coldly.

"What do you mean? You can go outside when you're cured," Emmeline said.

"That's easy for you to say! Everyone knows that I will marry you, even though we haven't had the ceremony yet. Why did you have to cuckold me in public, and you want to marry an ugly man too? What's the meaning of that? How am I supposed to show my face to the public?"

Emmeline took his hand and said, "We'll talk upstairs. Waylon is here."

Abel pulled his hand away angrily and walked ahead.

They went into the study, and Abel closed the door.
