    Emmeline’s apprehensive question broke the silence. “Why did you summon me back so urgently?


    What’s going on?”


    Hannah responded firmly. It’s only proper to reciprocate. Mom expects us to visit the Zeller family


    tomorrow as a token of gratitude.


    “A visit?” Emmeline inquired, her voice trembling. “Is there… is there nothing else?”


    “At this juncture, no,” Hannah reassured.


    A sigh of relief escaped Emmeline.


    Hannah’s tone changed as she continued, “However, in a few days, both families will meet to discuss

    bedroom. She pondered whether to continue hiding or confront the impending decision.


    The following day, Emmeline woke up early. Her primary goal was topensate Jorge with the


    remaining three hundred for her inadvertent collision with him the previous day. Following this, she


    intended to return home, purchase gifts, pick up her sister, and then proceed to Albus‘ house.


    After withdrawing the cash from the bank, she used the address on the prescription note to locate


    Hank’s residence. Parking her car by the roadside, she stood before the gate, approached the gray


    wooden door, and knocked.


    A voice from within inquired, “Who is it?”


    It was Hank’s voice from the day before.


    I’m the owner of the 9968 car, Emmeline replied. “I’vee to send you the remaining money.”


    Hank’s voice resonated from inside. “Mom, she’s here! You said you’d handle it!”


    After a while, the gate opened, and Michelle walked out with Jorge.


    Emmeline handed three hundred to Hank, expressing her remorse for the previous day’s incident. “I’m


    truly sorry for what happened yesterday.”

    everything is settled. I’ll take my leave.” With that, she turned and quickly walked away.


    Then, she bought four gifts at the mall entrance before returning home.


    At that moment, Hannah had just woken up.


    Kimberly urged, ‘Hurry up; it’s gettingte!”


    While brushing her teeth, Hannah muttered. “Didn’t Albus tell you yesterday that he’d finish work by ten


    ande pick us up? It’s not even nine yet, so why the rush!”


    Kimberly scolded her, “Only you would dare to talk back!”


    Emmeline observed her mother and noticed a significant improvement in her mental state. She


    wondered if agreeing with her might help alleviate her mother’s depression.


    Albus arrived at 10 am. Upon seeing Emmeline, he exuded a newfound sense of rxation and


    confidence. He could envision a promising future with her, boosting his self–assurance.


    However, she said nothing, her demeanorposed.


    Once Hannah finished getting ready, the three of them descended the stairs. Kimberly repeatedly


    emphasized to Emmeline the importance of speaking politely, avoiding stubbornness, and not


    embarrassing her.


    With a heavy heart, Emmeline simply nodded and said, “Mm.


    She took the wheel, with Albus in the passenger seat and Hannah in the back. They followed his


    directions, leading them into a residential area.


    Emmeline nced around and recognized it as the same ce she had been to earlier. She furrowed


    her brow as she gazed at him and his home, seeking confirmation. “Is this the ce!”


    With a warm smile, Albus opened the wooden door and weed her. “Yes, this is my house. Please,


    Emmeline hesitated, contemting her decision. Should I enter or not?


    Meanwhile, Hannah had already strolled into the yard without a second thought.


    Assuming Emmeline’s hesitation stemmed from shyness, Albus smiled reassuringly and encouraged


    her, “It’s alright, Emma, just follow me.”


    Emmeline stepped into the yard with unwavering determination, signaling a point of no return.


    “Mom, we have guests!” Albus joyfully called out to the house, “Emmeline is here!”


    Shortly after that, Michelle’s enthusiastic voice reached Emmeline’s ears, “She’s here, great, I’ve been


    waiting!”


    Having met Michelle the day before, Hannah politely greeted her, saying, “Hello, Mrs. Zeller!


    Emmeline chose silence and nodded in response to Michelle’s gaze.


    Michelle, visibly surprised, pointed at Emmeline, seeking confirmation from her son. “Is this the girl?”


    Albus, beaming with pride, nodded in confirmation. “Yes, Mom, this is Emma.”

    Emmeline replied calmly, “If it’s inconvenient, I won’t go in.”


    Michelle was left momentarily speechless by her response.
