My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 3102

Chapter 3102

"Treat this place like your own home, and don't hesitate to make yourself comfortable," Emma comforted Doretta.

"Got it. Thank you, Aunt Emma," Doretta responded with a smile.

"If you're feeling tired after your journey, feel free to rest," Emma said, her concern evident.

"In that case, I'll leave you guys to enjoy your meal. I'll head back to my room," Doretta said as she stood up.

"Of course, take your time," Emma said, her satisfaction with Doretta evident as her smile widened.

After Doretta left, Dexter quietly cautioned Emma, "Don't set your expectations too high." His advice was meant to temper any potential disappointment.

"You're not exactly helping by being so pessimistic," Emma replied, clearly unhappy with Dexter's comment.

"I'm just reminding you, some things can't be forced. You don't want it to backfire," Dexter explained.

Emma rolled her eyes at Dexter. "I know. Even if I think Doretta is a good match, we still have to respect what Ellar wants."

Dexter felt somewhat relieved. When it came to setting someone up, it was important to consider their feelings.

He didn't want to put Ellar in a difficult position. If Ellar and Doretta happened to develop feelings for each other, he wouldn't oppose it. However, if they weren't interested, there was no need to force anything, and it would be best if everyone accepted it.

The following day, a gentle breeze filled the air as Ellar arrived at the Riddle Corporation early in the morning.

"Wow, you're here early. Is everything okay?" Nicole asked, a hint of surprise in her voice.

"It's nothing urgent. I just didn't feel like staying home, so I thought I'd stop by before heading to BayCorp," Ellar replied.

Noticing Ellar's frustrated expression, Nicole couldn't help but tease, "Why? Feeling pressured to get married again?"

"Ugh, it's even worse than that," Ellar sighed, clearly troubled, as he shared Doretta's situation with Nicole.

"A distant cousin?" Nicole asked, puzzled.

"Let me show you something." Ellar handed a small packet to Nicole.

Ellar chuckled bitterly. "I'll just bury myself in work."

With no better ideas, he could only silently protest, perhaps claim he was too busy with work and make excuses to stay away from home as much as possible.

Trying to lighten the mood, Nicole changed the subject. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Ellar slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot the actual reason I came."

"Let me show you something." Ellar handed a small packet to Nicole.

After Nicole opened it and examined a small sample on her fingertip, her complexion turned pale. "Phosphate rock powder!"

"Yes, someone left it in my company," Ellar said, his expression turning serious.

Fortunately, someone was vigilant enough to discover the culprit's intention: They wanted to burn down his company.
