Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Lindsay’s eyes flickered as she considered voicing out to stop Amelia. However, Amelia didn’t make any clear statements—she simply called Emma to come down. Lindsay was worried that she would make things worse if she were to say anything, so she ended up keeping her mouth shut. Soon enough, Emma hurried down and walked over to Amelia. Emma knew Amelia well enough to know that some important figure had probably shown up at their house with good news—Amelia wouldn’t sound so excited otherwise.

Amelia whispered into Emma’s ear. “Mrs. Rowland is here to propose a marriage with our family. You should put on your best behavior.” Emma froze for a moment before she felt her heart leap with joy. She had met Keith once, but she had always assumed that he was way out of her league. She only managed to attend his party at Royale because of the connections she had. I can’t believe Keith is here to propose a marriage to me. How am I supposed to act cool and calm?

Emma personally made some tea and sliced some fruits for Lindsay. She tried her best to please the woman, while Lindsay simply responded with a rather polite but awkward smile. “What’s this about, Mrs. Rowland?” Charles came downstairs and looked around the living room before knitting his brows together a little.

Charles’ health had been deteriorating in the past few years, and he had been in a nursing home the last time Alice returned to Woland Residence. Charles only got home a few days ago. “I’m here because of my son, Old Mr. Woland. Keith is interested in a union of our families.” Lindsay heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Charles.

Emma felt a burst of joy in her chest when she heard Lindsay’s words. As much as she tried to conceal the excitement within her, her face had turned into a light shade of pink as blood rushed to her cheeks. Amelia, too, had her eyebrows lifted with eagerness. “A marriage, huh?” Charles shot a glance in Emma’s direction as his expression darkened. Why would the Rowlands come over to propose marriage? Does Keith really want to marry Emma?

“Yes. Keith told me that he’s interested in Alice. Old Mr. Rowland gave me orders to pay a visit and propose a marriage between the two of them.” Lindsay’s statement was polite and respectful, and she made herself sound extra formal by bringing up James. However, Emma’s face fell instantly. A mixture of disbelief, resentment, and anger filled her gaze. Why? Why does it have to be Alice again? How can that idiot be better than me in any way?

Amelia’s expression turned sour as well. However, she tried her best to conceal her emotions so that she wouldn’t seem too reactive toward Lindsay’s words. “Did you say… Alice?” Charles was shocked for a moment, and a rather conflicted look surfaced in his gaze.
