Chapter 3129
Doretta watched everyone closely, her expression neutral as she continued eating, pretending nothing was wrong.
After dinner, Patricia departed.
Emma, feeling content, took Ellar aside. "Well done, you've got a girlfriend now. I can relax."
"Yeah," Ellar said, relieved.
"When do you plan to get married?" Emma asked.
Ellar looked unhappy, forcing a smile. "Mom, do you really have to rush this? I'm your son, don't you believe in me? Am I that disappointing?"
"Of course not! You're not disappointing at all," Emma said innocently.
Ellar let out a resigned sigh. "Then why are you so rushed about my marriage? Before, you were anxious when I didn't have a girlfriend. Now that I just got one, you're asking about marriage. It makes me feel like if I don't hurry up, I'll be single forever."
"I didn't mean it like that," Emma said, noticing Ellar's misunderstanding. "I just hope you settle down soon." She always considered what's best for him.
"Mom, if that's not really the reason, can you give me some time?" El I ar asked, looking upset. "Also, if I bring up marriage with Patricia now, aren't you afraid I might scare her away?"
Dexter chimed in, "It's great that he's found someone he likes. Let's let them make their own decisions."
Emma gave them both a look and said, "I was just asking casually, why are you all so worked up?" She couldn't afford to scare Patricia away, especially since she genuinely liked her.
"Mom, even if it's casual, please avoid asking, especially when Patricia is around," Ellar advised, still concerned.
"Rest assured, I understand," Emma agreed.
