Chapter 1565
That day in the elevator, ric caught a glimpse of the kids! And there they were, tagging along with Emmeline, leading him to assume Emmeline
was their mom.
He couldn''t let ric dig any deeper; otherwise, Hertha''s secret about the kids would be out in the open. Hertha had gone through hell and back just
to keep her children under wraps, away from ric''s knowledge. He couldn''t let Hertha''s efforts go to waste because of him.
Spencer yanked his hand free from ric''s grip, irritation clear in his voice as he snapped, "Mr. Falconer, do you always stick your nose where it
doesn''t belong?"
"What do you mean by ‘where it doesn''t belong?" ric straightened up. his gaze fierce and angry as he locked eyes with Spencer. "If you were a
nobody to me, I wouldn''t even bother looking your way. But you''re Hertha''s husband! A married man, and here you are, proposing to another woman.
How can you justify that to Hertha?"
The words came out filled with indignation and rage. Had ric not been restraining himself, he would have thrown a punch at Spencer right then and
there.
"You''re saying what? Spencer is married?" Emmeline was so shocked she could barelypose herself.
Spencer saw Emmeline''s growing misunderstanding. She had just epted his proposal, and if Emmeline got the wrong idea, his chance at
marriage would slip away again. Standing up abruptly, Spencer cast a nervous nce at Emmeline, then turned back to ric, anger tinting his voice
"Stop spouting nonsense here!"
"Oh, feeling the heat? Still hiding from thisdy that you''re a married man, huh? Spencer, you really are the lowest of the low! Hertha waits for you to
come home every evening, and here you are, wining and dining with another woman!” ric scoffed coldly.
"Well, Spencer, I never knew you were this kind of person..." Emmeline, in a fit of anger, tried to fling the ring she was wearing at him.
Quick as a sh, Spencer stepped forward and grabbed Emmeline’s hand, "Emmeline, don''t listen to him: I''m not that kind of person..."
"Then exin why others are saying you''re married!" Emmeline demanded, struggling to free her hand, her breathsing in short gasps.

Under Emmelige''s urgent gaze,

Worried that Emmeline wouldn''t take his word for it, Spencer went into detail about the whole scheme, even mentioning witnesses.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
Listening to Spencer, Emmeline was
utterly confused. She always knew
Hertha was-Spencer''s friend, and
their unusually close rtionship did
make herwonder. But when rie
used Spencer and Hertha of
being spouses, her world seemed to
coffapse, thinking Spencer § was
conspiring with Hertha texdeceive
her. Now, hearing his side, she was
baffled.
So, it was only ric who was deceived by Hertha and Spencer''s act? That meant Hertha and this ric had some sort of romantic connection?
Hearing Spencer''s confession, ric was a mix of disbelief and overwhelming excitement, "What did you say, say that again?"
Spencer took a deep breath, deciding there was no point in hiding anything anymore, "You heard me right. Hertha and I aren''t husband and wife; you
just thought so. Emmeline is my girlfriend...”
Upon hearing Spencer''s rification, a storm of emotions raged within ric—excitement, relief. He turned on his heels, dashing out of the diner.
