âSure.â Sam didnât have time to keep chatting with Adrien, âAs long as youâre happy. I need to clean this place up. What should I do with the flowers?â
âDonât touch my flowers.â Adrien exclaimed, âIâm here to propose to Emma. Weâre going to have a problem if you mess with my flowers!â
Sam was surprised. Is Adrien going to propose to Ms. Louise?
Isnât that too fast?
Sam thought Adrien was here to show off his romance.
âIâm heading in to look for Emma.â Adrien held a large bouquet of flowers, and he pointed at the flowers arranged in a heart pattern, âDonât touch that!â
âGot it.â Sam added, âI wonât mess with the flowers, and I will keep an eye on them.â
âThatâs about right!â Adrien said, âOnce Emma says yes, I will give you and Daisy a bonus.â
âPfft.â Sam scoffed. Who cares?
However, Sam answered, âThank you, Mr. Adrien!â
Adrien straightened his suit and tie. He held the bouquet as he approached the door.
The glass door opened from within. Emmeline came out first.
Emmeline wore pajamas. She had a sleeping cap decorated with a Hittle squirrel on it. She appeared to be sleepy, and she had not washed her face yet.
âWho is making noise in the morning? Youâre disturbing my sleep.
âEmma.â Adrien grabbed Emmelineâs delicate hands, âIâm here to propose to you. Look at the roses. Do you like it?â
Emmeline opened her eyes, and she took a careful look. Isnât it Adrien?
Adrien is dressed in a new gray suit, and his silver tie is neatly in place.
Adrien looks elegant, with a striking appearance.
However, his charm is typical of a playboy.
âYou canât propose this early. This doesnât count!â Emmeline quickly retreated.
âEmma!â
After Adrien entered the door with his flowers, Emmeline dashed to the second floor.
Bang! After entering her room and closing the door, Emmeline leaned against the door with her heart beating fast.
Daisy was startled by the commotion. She quickly picked up a frying pan, and she left the kitchen.
Then, she quickly assessed the situationâ¦
âMs. Louise, whatâs wrong? Is there a bad guy here?â
âYes.â Emmeline caught her breath, and she pointed downstairs, âItâs a womanizer!â
âWomanizer?â Daisy was confused. Huh, what are you saying?
As Daisy pondered about it, there was a knock on the door, and Adrienâs voice came through.
âEmma.â
Emmeline darted back into her bedroom.
âEmma, open the door. Iâm here to propose to you. Didnât you say I could propose to you?â
After hearing those words, Daisy understood the situation. The playboy is here.
âMs. Louiseâ Daisy approached the bedroom, âIf you want to say no, I will go out to shoo him away.â
âNo.â Emmeline said, âI may have said it perfunctorily, but he has visited to propose to me. I donât know how to face him, but I canât go back on my words either. Let me be alone for a while.â
âMaybe youâre regretting it.â Daisy said, âYou donât need the alone time. Youâre not forced to marry him, and thereâs nothing to fear. Itâs a matter of a few words. I can say it for you if youâre feeling embarrassed. Let me tell him to leave.â
âNo.â Emmeline shook her head, âI canât go back on my words. I have to be responsible for them.â
Daisy was speechless. Yes, Ms. Louise, youâre someone with principles.
âLet me face Adrien in person.â
Emmeline walked to the door, and she spoke to Adrien through the closed door, âWait downstairs. I will talk to you again after washing my face.â
âAlright, Emma.â Adrien was overjoyed. âLet me wait for you downstairs.â
âOkay.â Emmeline patted her chest.
I have to face it even when Iâm nervous.
I have to face my challenge.
I have chosen this path, so I need to stick to it to the end.
Besides, Emmeline was self- sufficient to make herself and her children happy, so whichever man she chose was more of a supporting role.
After organizing her thoughts, Emmeline became confident. She walked toward the bathroom.
Itâs Adrien.
Thereâs nothing to be afraid of!
After preparing herself for the day, Emmeline dressed elegantly, and she made her way downstairs.
