âCongratulations,â Emmeline greeted Lizbeth, âI heard you two are getting engaged?â
âYes.â Lizbeth cuddled up to Adrien happily. âWeâre here to get the wedding dress.â
âI didnât expect you two to get along so fast.â Emmeline smiled. âItâs only been a short time, but you two are getting married.â
âI want to get married as soon as possible,â Lizbeth responded, âSo as not to be disliked by others in Altney.â
âDisliked?â Emmeline and Janie frowned. âYouâre the daughter of the Murphy family. How come someone dislikes you?â
âItâs Evelyn, my sister,â Lizbeth said frankly, âAlthough Iâm the real daughter of the Murphy family, Evelyn was raised by the Murphy family when she was a child. In comparison, the Murphy family doesnât have many feelings for me. So I might as well marry a good man and have a new family.â
âThatâs true.â Emmeline nodded. âYouâre right. Adrien becomes better too.â
âEmma, are you complimenting me?â Adrien was glad when he heard that.
âOf course.â Emmeline smiled. âYouâre better than before.â
âThanks,â Adrien replied happily.
âEmma, how are you and Mr. Abel?â Lizbeth asked with a slight frown, âHas the relationship eased?â
Emmeline pursed her lips and shook her head sadly.
Janie said, âMr. Abel is still indifferent to Emma. He didnât mention the marriage. Emma also didnât tell him when she came to get the wedding dress.â
âThe wedding dress is a trivial matter,â Lizbeth answered, âMaybe you can give it you and Abel get back together, Iâll order a new one for you.â
âForget it,â Emmeline said, âIâll keep the wedding dress as a souvenir. As for the wedding, letâs talk about it later. Iâm not in a hurry to get married.â
âYes.â Lizbeth nodded. âIf you want to marry someone else, many men in Struyria will pursue you.â
âAbel is a fool!â Adrien felt angry. âIf I knew he became like this, I wouldnât be with Liz!â
âWhat did you say?â Lizbeth pinched Adrienâs ear. âAdrien, how dare you say that?â
âSweetheart, forgive me!â Adrien shrank his neck. âIâm just talking nonsense! You know I wonât have the gut to do that!â
âItâs great you still have self-knowledge.â Lizbeth let go of her hand. âOr Iâll cut you into pieces!â
âEmma is still here.â Adrien stroked his ear. âCanât you cut me some slack?â
âWhy do you think you deserve any slack?â Lizbeth reprimanded him, âThen why did you say that?
Who do you think Emma is?â
âOkay, Sweetheart.â Adrien clasped his hands together. âForgive me. I was wrong.â
âDo you dare to say that next time?â Lizbeth squinted at him.
âNo!â Adrien hurriedly covered his ears.
âAlright! I forgive you!â Lizbeth finally let go of Adrien.
Emmeline and Janie laughed at Adrien. They did not expect the bold Adrien would become a coward in front of Lizbeth.
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Three women talked and went upstairs to get the wedding dress.
Adrien happily waited in the VIP room on the first floor. He was overjoyed to be with three beauties at the same time.
Even if Lizbeth pinched his ears, he thought it was worth it.
After taking the wedding dress, three women came downstairs.
Adrien stubbed out the cigarette butt, then happily left the VIP room. âBeauties, itâs rare for us to gather.
Why donât we go to dinner before going back?â
Lizbeth was the first to clap her hands. âI agree! I donât want to go back yet.â
âI agree too,â Janie responded, âWe can accompany Emma to relax.â
âWell then.â Emmeline smiled. âI wonât eat with Abel tonight. Let him have dinner by himself. He wonât miss me anyway.â
âThatâs great!â Adrien said, âLetâs go to Nimbus Hotel! Iâll book the best private room and treat you all!â
