Chapter 670 Betrothal Gift And Dowry âI see, you want to ask about this,â Emmeline mulled over it for a while, âOf course, the Louises have to attend. After all, Maxwell is my dad.â
âWhat about the Adelmars?â Rosaline ventured, âI really look forward to meeting them in person. They are no ordinary family!â
âI need to ask Waylon first,â Emmeline replied, âItâs not like Master Robert and Waylon are the most predictable person I ever know.â
âOkay, go ask them soon,â Lewis chipped in, âIf Master Adelmar or Mr. Waylon decides to grace the wedding, we have to be ready as well. Canât be too shabby in our preparation.â
Following that, Emmeline took out his phone to call Waylon.
Waylon answered her call fairly quickly, only after a few rings.
âEmma?â
âWaylon,â Emmeline chirped, âHow are you and Master Robert?â
âWe are doing great,â Waylon replied in an affectionate tone, âI thought that since you are in such a blissful relationship now, youâve forgotten all about us. So, I am surprised to get your call.â
Emmeline stuck out her tongue, âI always remember you guys in my heart. I always miss you guys.â
Waylon laughed, âCome, say it. Since youâre calling me, is there anything I can be of help?â
âI will never dare to ask again,â Emmeline pouted, âYour Worryfree really ruined things for me.â
âYou ungrateful brat,â Waylon jokingly sneered, âWasnât that to save Abelâs life?â
Emmeline knew this, of course.
However, Abelâs sudden change in attitude really tortured her mentally.
âWhat about your life? Who do you think saved your life? You are really ungrateful, do you know that?â
Waylon continued to press on jokingly.
âAlright, alright,â Emmeline cooed, âI was just saying, you donât need to fire back at me like that.â
Waylon seemed to let out a huge sigh at the other end of the phone.
âWhatâs wrong, Waylon?â Emmelineâs heart skipped a beat, âWhy are you sighing?â
âMy life really sucks nowadays,â Waylon lamented, âWithout you bickering with me every other day, my life has no meaning at all.â
Emmeline immediately burst out laughing upon hearing that.
âI thought you were seriously bothered by something,â Emmeline replied, âIn the near future, I will bring the four kids to see you, and by then, you would want to run for your life since you can never argue over them. Anyway, the Adelmars have so many islands, you can hide in any one of them and I would never be able to find you.â
This time, it was Waylonâs turn to laugh.
He was thirty-two this year, yet he had no interest in love and romance.
All he cared about was business and medicine, and he would never get tired of doing what he loved every day.
His life was quite a monotonous one.
Ever since Emmelineâs arrival, her quirky attitude raised his eyebrows. Her appearance in his and Robertâs life was a breath of fresh air, and their monotonous lives slowly gained some colors. However, Abelâs sudden change in attitude really tortured her mentally.
The days Emmeline spent on Adelmar Island were one of the few happiest days in Robert and Waylonâs lives.
Robert had long acknowledged her as one of his own, and even his son Waylon had fully accepted her.
Emmeline recalled the sweet memories of the past five years and her heart chambers were filled with warmth.
Adelmar Island really felt like home to her.
âSay it, our dear Emma,â Waylon was still giggling, âWhatâs the matter for calling me so suddenly?â
âOkay, Iâll begin,â Emmeline began, âOur wedding is going to happen in a few days. I remember telling you guys about it.â
âYeah,â Waylon nodded, âWe remember.â
âThen, will you come to give me your blessing?â
âOf course, we will. We have prepared dowry too,â Waylon said, âBut we wonât be able to make it on that day.â
âWhy?â Emmeline frowned. Her voice indicated that she was pouting. âI donât need dowry. All I need is you and Master Robert to come.â
âMy dad and Oscar are not on good terms, and you know that,â Waylon replied, âDo you want to see them go at it at your wedding?â
âWhat happened between Master Robert and Old Mr. Ryker?â Emmeline was curious, âYou guys have been hiding this from me for a long time.â
âYou donât need to know yet,â Waylon dismissed her, âI will ask Benedict to bring over the dowry. He will be our representative.â
