“Congratulations,” Emmeline greeted Lizbeth, “I heard you two are getting engaged?”
“Yes.” Lizbeth cuddled up to Adrien happily. “We’re here to get the wedding dress.”
“I didn’t expect you two to get along so fast.” Emmeline smiled. “It’s only been a short time, but you two are getting married.”
“I want to get married as soon as possible,” Lizbeth responded, “So as not to be disliked by others in Altney.”
“Disliked?” Emmeline and Janie frowned. “You’re the daughter of the Murphy family. How come someone dislikes you?”
“It’s Evelyn, my sister,” Lizbeth said frankly, “Although I’m the real daughter of the Murphy family, Evelyn was raised by the Murphy family when she was a child. In comparison, the Murphy family doesn’t have many feelings for me. So I might as well marry a good man and have a new family.”
“That’s true.” Emmeline nodded. “You’re right. Adrien becomes better too.”
“Emma, are you complimenting me?” Adrien was glad when he heard that.
“Of course.” Emmeline smiled. “You’re better than before.”
“Thanks,” Adrien replied happily.
“Emma, how are you and Mr. Abel?” Lizbeth asked with a slight frown, “Has the relationship eased?”
Emmeline pursed her lips and shook her head sadly.
Janie said, “Mr. Abel is still indifferent to Emma. He didn’t mention the marriage. Emma also didn’t tell him when she came to get the wedding dress.”
“The wedding dress is a trivial matter,” Lizbeth answered, “Maybe you can give it to me. After you and Abel get back together, I’ll order a new one for you.”
“Forget it,” Emmeline said, “I’ll keep the wedding dress as a souvenir. As for the wedding, let’s talk about it later. I’m not in a hurry to get married.”
“Yes.” Lizbeth nodded. “If you want to marry someone else, many men in Struyria will pursue you.”
