“Emma,” Adrien said, grabbing Emmeline’s hand, but she quickly pulled it away.

That did not stop Adrien from saying, “Actually, if you spend more time with me, you’ll find that I have many good qualities.”

Emmeline cocked her head and fixed her gaze on him.

This man is quite simple and innocent. He’s just a rich, spoiled kid.

Adrien walked in a circle around Emmeline and said, “Emma, why don’t you give us a chance? After all, it would be advantageous to our kids.”

Emmeline remained quiet. For the first time, she did not rebuke Adrien.

“Don’t worry, Emma. I promise to put up with hardship, be devoted to my responsibility, and be a good husband and father. I will never go west if you ask me to go east. If you ask me to beat a dog, I will never beat a chicken!”

“Slap!”

When Adrien waved his hand, he struck something unintentionally.

“Ouch!” Alana cried out.

Only then did Adrien and Emmeline realize that Adrien had slapped Alana’s head in his excitement.

Adrien said, “When did you get here? Why are you sneaking around? Are you trying to scare us to death?”

Alana explained while putting a hand on her head, “I came to take a look because I heard some noise coming from your room. The slap you gave me nearly sent my head crashing into my stomach!”

Adrien mocked, “It’s your fault for coming here. Don’t put the blame on me!”

He dislikes Alana’s deviousness.

“I came to let you know that you’ll be invited to the wedding dinner when Abel and I get engaged. Abel just came to see me and talked about this.”

Adrien said, “Of course, I’m Abel’s brother, after all.”

Alana questioned Emmeline as she cast a quick glance her way, “When do you two intend to wed? You two seem happy together. Why don’t you hurry up to get things done?”

Emmeline remained silent and kept her composure.

Adrien, however, enthusiastically asked Emmeline, “Emma, will you give me a chance?”

Emmeline suddenly softened her expression and said to Adrien, “It depends on your performance. You could propose to me when you believe you can be the kind of person you just described.”

Adrien was stunned.

Oh my god! Happiness unexpectedly knocked on my door! Is this a dream?

Adrien pinched Alana, who stood beside him.

“Ouch, that hurts!” Alana cried as she jumped up in agony.

“It hurts. It’s not a dream!” Adrien yelled loudly, “Emma, you’re my lucky star, my lucky baby. I swear I’ll love you always. I’ll leave the hospital right away and pop the question to you at the coffee shop!”

Emmeline pursed her lips and nodded solemnly.

There was no sadness or happiness on her face, just an indifferent and calm look. She reasoned that she ought to give Adrien a chance as long as he was a decent person and was capable of changing his bad habits. After all, he was the biological father of the children.

Alana was dumbfounded.

She had always hoped to remove Emmeline as an obstacle. She was upset to witness Adrien treating her like a treasure and adoring her. She was burning with jealousy, hatred, and resentment!

She felt like she had swallowed a handful of poison. The pain was unbearable.

Adrien was already kneeling on one knee in front of Emmeline when he proposed to her, “Emma, don’t worry. I’ll personally propose to you while bringing you a diamond the size of a pigeon’s egg and 999 red roses.”

Emmeline was at a loss for words.

Is there anyone who wouldn’t personally make the proposal?

Alana listened in disbelief.

Although Abel had promised to get engaged to her in eight months, she knew that he would never propose to her, let alone give her a diamond as big as a pigeon’s egg. It was already his limit to accept an engagement. Alana suddenly felt extremely miserable.

Emmeline asked, “Alana, has Abel ever proposed to you?”
