Emmeline stepped into the house, but Jorge was not there. Her mind raced as she pondered the situation. This is Albus‘ home. What part does Mr. Jarge, who is closely connected to Mrs. Zeller, play in all this? And Albus” younger brother, Hank, seems to be Mr. Jorge’s sout
“Mr. Jorge…” she asked with a smile as she looked at Michelle. “Is his foot better now?”
Michelle blushed and tugged Albus, saying. Let’s head upstairs.”
Unbeknownst to Emmeline, Jorge was upstairs in a room. Michelle turned to him and shared, Guess what? The girl Albus is interested in is the same one who accidentally hit you with her car yesterday!”
“What a coincidence. Jorge’s voice could be heard from downstairs.
Curious about the ongoing conversation, Albus asked. “What are you two talking about? Have you met Emmeline?
“Let’s set aside Emmeline for now. Michelle redirected the discussion, and concern was etched on her face. “She saw jurge and me. How will she perceive me when she marries into our family later?”
Albus, his temper flaring, retorted. That’s none of Emma’s concern. She has finally accepted me!”
“She may have accepted you, but I haven’t, Michelle stated angrily. “Let’s put this matter aside for now?
“I don’t need your approval, Albus retorted. “You can return to wherever you came from with Jorge. My affairs are none of your concern!”
With that, Allnus slammed the door and headed downstairs.
Emmeline seized Hannah’s arm and hurriedly left the house.
Puzzled, Hannah asked, “What’s going on with their family?”
Emmeline whispered. “Something is going on in this family.”
“I can sense that, Hannah agreed. “Who is the old man talking upstairs earlier?”
“Mrs. Zeller’s having an affair, Emmeline stated plainly.
“Ah?” Hannah exclaimed in surprise.
Albus rushed out and called after them. Emma!”
“I’m leaving now, Emmeline declared, ending the conversation. “Let’s leave it at that for the time being”
He looked distressed as he tried to explain, “There must be a misunderstanding here.”
She firmly responded, “It’s not my place to interfere. After all, it’s your family’s matter.”
Emmeline sighed. “I don’t know. Mom won’t believe me. Deep in thought, she frowned as she contemplated the impending confrontation with her mother. A wave of apprehension washed over her as she pondered, Albus family seemed so chaotic. Can I embrace that kind of family life? But if I reject it. Mom will be devastated.
