Chapter 890 I'm Worried About You

"Why are you even angry?" Emmeline chuckled. "I didn't take a single cent from you while growing up."

"You're still part of the Louise family, aren't you?" Alondra said. "I know I'm only your stepmother, but I'd be happy for you if you marry a good man. On the other hand, I'd be embarrassed if you marry someone ugly. I wonder what would Mrs. Plummer and Mrs. Guido say..."

"So you're worried that I might embarrass you? That's easy, all you have to do is disown me. Then it won't matter to you who I marry!" Emmeline said.

"But I've already told everyone that you'll be marrying Abel Ryker! Now it's turning out not to be the case, what am I supposed to say?"

"That's for you to figure out," Emmeline said. "I'm free to marry whoever I want, and you have no right to interfere."

"But... if you marry that ugly man, am I still going to get the bridal gifts from the Adelmar family?"

"Hahaha!" Emmeline laughed. "So it's about money after all!"

Alondra's face turned slightly pale. "I'm still worried for you, you know."

"You don't have to worry about me. The money isn't yours either!"

"Emma, I don't think you've thought this through," Ethan interjected. "What actually happened that made you act on impulse?"

Emmeline took Ethan's hand and led him to a chair.

She poured a glass of water for him and said, "Ethan, I know you're genuinely worried about me, but I can't tell you the whole story now. All you have to do is place your trust in me, and I'll explain it to you after everything blows over."

"What are you going to do about Abel then? Is it over for you two now? What about my four nephews?"

Emmeline did not have an answer to those questions.

She was also not sure how Abel would react to her marriage with that ugly man.

Ethan, sensing Emmeline's hesitation, knew Abel was not going to be pleased.

"You can tell me if you need any help, Emma. I'll go and talk to Abel. You've given birth to four sons for him, and I'm not going to let him force you into marrying an ugly man!"

Tears welled up in Emmeline's eyes. "It's not like what you think, Ethan. The wedding is tomorrow morning. You can go to Struyria Banquet to celebrate the occasion if you're free."

"Celebrate? I'm not in the mood for celebration!" Ethan was about to cry too.

"Yes, Emma. By tomorrow, you'll be the biggest joke in all of Struyria. You'd better think twice before acting!" Alondra interjected.

"I told you before, you don't have to worry about me!" Emmeline said coldly. "I don't need anyone adding to my problems now."

She poured a glass of water for him and said, "Ethan, I know you're genuinely worried about me, but I can't tell you the whole story now. All you have to do is place your trust in me, and I'll explain it to you after everything blows over."

Sha pourad a glass of watar for him and said, "Ethan, I know you'ra ganuinaly worriad about ma, but I can't tall you tha whola story now. All you hava to do is placa your trust in ma, and I'll axplain it to you aftar avarything blows ovar."

"What are you going to do about Abal than? Is it ovar for you two now? What about my four naphaws?"

Emmalina did not hava an answar to thosa quastions.

Sha was also not sura how Abal would raact to har marriaga with that ugly man.

Ethan, sansing Emmalina's hasitation, knaw Abal was not going to ba plaasad.

"You can tall ma if you naad any halp, Emma. I'll go and talk to Abal. You'va givan birth to four sons for him, and I'm not going to lat him forca you into marrying an ugly man!"

Taars wallad up in Emmalina's ayas. "It's not lika what you think, Ethan. Tha wadding is tomorrow morning. You can go to Struyria Banquat to calabrata tha occasion if you'ra fraa."

"Calabrata? I'm not in tha mood for calabration!" Ethan was about to cry too.

"Yas, Emma. By tomorrow, you'll ba tha biggast joka in all of Struyria. You'd battar think twica bafora acting!" Alondra intarjactad.

"I told you bafora, you don't hava to worry about ma!" Emmalina said coldly. "I don't naad anyona adding to my problams now."

"Serves you right for being unlucky!" Alondra said and stamped her foot.

"Who's the unlucky one? Watch your mouth before I watch it for you!" Emmeline said angrily.

"Fine! Whatever!" Alondra stormed her way out.

She nearly bumped into a young woman at the door. It was Janie.

Ethan wanted to continue to talk to Emmeline, but he stopped when he saw Janie come in.

"You should go home for now, Ethan. I'll look for you after tomorrow," Emmeline said.

"Alright then." Ethan nodded reluctantly. "I'll attend the wedding tomorrow, in case you need any help."

"Mm." Tears welled up in Emmeline's eyes again. She hugged Ethan tightly.

Ethan tousled her hair, sighed, and left.

"Janie? Why did you come here?" Emmeline said while getting a chair for her.

"I saw that shocking ad, of course." Janie sat down on the chair and said sternly, "Are you doing this because of Mr. Ryker?"

Emmeline nodded. "I can't let Abel suffer for any longer."

"So that's your method of obtaining the antidote? Don't you think you're risking yourself a little too much?" Janie said seriously.
