Chapter 1015 Clearing Things Up


    Emmeline climbed up to the second-floor guest room, where she found Doris and Mrs. Flores engaged


    in a conversation while cradling the two infants.


    "I''ve tried exining it to them countless times," Doris vented, frustration evident in her voice. "The


    babies are yours, not Mr. Adelmar''s. You didn''t even know him before, but they just won''t believe it."


    "It''s truly embarrassing," Doris continued. "No wonder the nanny smiled at me when I walked in. It was


    all a misunderstanding."


    "I can understand why," Mrs. Flores chimed in. "Una and Nessa do bear some resemnce to Mr.


    Adelmar. It''s hard to shake off that association."


    "It''s not fair," Doris''s face flushed with indignation. "Mr. Adelmar came from Osea, and I didn''t know him


    in a previous life or even in this life until recently. I ampletely innocent."


    As Emmeline entered the room, she interjected, "I''ve also heard about the resemnce between the


    babies and Waylon. But how could that be? You two are unrted."


    "Ms. Louise," Mrs. Flores quickly greeted her, shifting her hold on baby Una and showing her to


    Emmeline. "Take a look at the features...the eyebrows, the nose, the mouth. Do they not resemble Mr.


    Adelmar? No wonder people are confused!"


    Emmeline leaned in, studying Una''s face intently. Frowning slightly, she admitted, "Well, I have to


    admit, there is a striking resemnce!"


    Doris''s face reddened even further. "Ms. Louise, are you joining in on this teasing?"


    Emmeline shook her head, a reassuring smile on her lips. "Why should you be ashamed? The babies


    simply resemble Waylon. It''s not a crime, nor does it imply any indiscretion between you and him."


    Doris remained speechless.


    And what if the workers already think that?


    Doris feels unjustly used and unable to defend herself.


    "You know, Lizbeth from the Murphy family in Altney bears a slight resemnce to me," Emmeline


    reassured, patting Doris on the shoulder. "But that doesn''t mean anything. Don''t worry. Besides,


    Waylon is not the kind to engage in ndestine affairs and secretly have children with women. It''s pure


    fiction!"


    "You''re right," Doris breathed a sigh of relief. "Just be careful not to say such things in front of Mr.


    Adelmar. It would be embarrassing for me."


    Just then, Mrs. Jamison ascended the stairs and announced, "Ms. Louise, Mr. Waylon has returned."


    Doris blushed involuntarily, while Emmeline wasted no time and hurried downstairs.


    True to Mrs. Jamison''s words, Waylon sat on the couch in a white suit, white shirt, and a narrow silk tie


    of the same color.


    Seeing Emmeline bounding down the stairs, Waylon raised an eyebrow. "You''re not exactly a little kid


    anymore. Can''t you be more careful on the stairs?"

    Emmeline joined him on the couch, wrapping her arm around his shoulder and chuckling. "I developed


    these skills during college. And you haven''t seen Abel, he''s even quicker than me going downstairs. He


    practically glides down without even taking steps."


    Waylon lifted his hand and yfully tapped Emmeline on the forehead. "You cheeky thing!"


    Noticing that Waylon seemed a bit weary, Emmeline asked with concern, "What''s wrong? Are you


    upset?"


    "It''s just the preparations for the hospital," Waylon sighed, pointing to the stack of documents on the


    coffee table. "There are so many social obligations, it''s tiresome."


    "Can''t you delegate it to Kaden or Jake?" Emmeline suggested. "Do you have to handle it personally?"


    "In the early stages, certain rtionships require my direct involvement," Waylon exined.


    "Otherwise, if I stay behind the scenes, certain departments might give me a hard time in the future."


    "That''s true," Emmeline nodded. "Even if we''re powerful, we still have to be subject to someone else''s


    authority."


    "At the moment, I need someone by my side," Waylon pinched his forehead. "Someone who can shield


    me from various pressures."


    "Aren''t there plenty of options for that?" Emmeline remarked. "Can''t Ben handle it? And if all else fails,


    there''s always Abel."


    "It''s not that simple," Waylon hesitated, waving his hand dismissively. "Never mind, I can''t exin it


    properly."


    Emmeline, being perceptive as ever, smirked and said, "I understand. Is it because you have been


    ensnared by a woman?"


    Waylon remained silent.


    He knew he couldn''t hide anything from this clever little devil.


    "It''s only natural to encounter women in various aspects of life," Emmeline teased. "Just y along and


    don''t take it too seriously."


    Furrowing his brow, Waylon replied, "Are you joking about this too? Do I have the time and inclination


    to fool around with women? Among everyone in the world, I would only indulge you!"
