“I believe that,” Emmeline smiled and said. I knew Robert would always love me! He treated me nicely, although we are not biologically related. He treated me as his own daughter.
“I have something to say,” Benjamin said mysteriously. “It’s related to Waylon, whether he can get a girlfriend or not.”
As soon as Benjamin said that, Emmeline, Abel, and Janie were all stunned. The three of them instantly led each other forward and tried to hear more clearly.
Emmeline asked, “Ben, do you know what’s going on with Waylon?”
Benjamin chuckled and said, “I wasn’t going to say anything. But since Emma asked, let me tell you what happened.”
“Don’t tease us,” Abel said, “just tell us.”
“Is it related to Doris?” Janie asked.
“Definitely is related to Doris,” Benjamin said. “There’s no other woman besides Waylon.”
“Isn’t there still Lily?” Emmeline pouted and said, “She’s persistent with Waylon.”
“How could Waylon like her?” Benjamin said, “Don’t you know what kind of girl he likes?”
“I do,” Emmeline nodded, “So I know Lily is not Waylon’s type.”
“So, what’s the situation between Mr. Adelmar and Doris?” Janie said excitedly while tearing Benjamin’s shirt, “Come on, tell us! We’re all dying to know.”
“Waylon buys the house in Starhill Garden for Doris! He sold it to Doris for only one dollar,” Benjamin said.
“Oh, I see!” Janie said. “I wondered why Mr. Adelmar was still busy earlier. It turned out to be related to Doris!”
“Waylon had even bought a house for Doris? What a move by him! I never expected it!” Emmeline said.
“Don’t get too excited yet, Abel told Emmeline. “Remember you told Waylon to take care of Doris since she’s a widow? Maybe Waylon had no other intentions and was just following your instructions.”
“That…” Emmeline said. Abel’s words make sense.
