Just in time, Emily walked towards them and said, ” I won’t come back with you. I will stay here. I don’t care what others think about me ” in a serious tone.

Three of them looked at Emily who was descending the stairs. She stopped at the last stair while placing her palm on the wooden rail.

” Emily… What do you mean by it? Do you know what you are talking about? “Mr Green shouted, fuming in anger.

He walked towards her and held her arm in a tight grip. ” Enough of your drama. Let’s go. Already you spoiled my reputation by coming with Adrian. Let’s go” he said angrily.

She pulled out her arm from his grip. ” I won’t come with you. When you don’t think about my happiness. I won’t care about your reputation, ” she told him her decision.

” So you are ready to be his mistress! “Mr Green asked his daughter. 

Emily was so frustrated with his father’s behaviour. She turned her head away from him and looked at Adrian. Then she said to Adrian, ” I don’t want to talk with him. Just send him away from this place ” 

Mr Green was hurt deeply by her words and said, ” All these years, I loved you more than myself. Is it you who are giving value to your father’s love? Whatever I did till now is to make me happy…”

Katherine’s heart melted when Mr Green was pleading with his daughter to come back with him. She was reminded of her father who used to love her crazily and also lost him sacrificing his life for her happiness.

” Emily….” 

Katherine called her by name and walked towards her, ” Your father might hate me as Adrian married me instead of you. But try to understand whatever he did in the past with me and Adrian because of his love for his daughter. That is you, ” Katherine tried to explain. 

Emily raised her head and looked at her with surprise. ” Emily…Please understand his Love for you ” Katherine tried to convince.

” If you have a problem if I stay in your Mansion. I will leave this place. But please don’t try to support my father,” Emily said rudely.

Mr Green who hated Katherine till now changed his view on her. His heart melted a bit when she supported him by explaining fatherly love to his daughter. He didn’t find any selfishness in supporting him. He understood that she was not scared of losing her husband but wanted to reconcile him with Emily. 

” Emily….Please…think once again. Your father came for you. Don’t hurt him ” Katherine said, placing her palm on her shoulder. 

” Kathie…I don’t want you to interfere in this matter. It is between my father and me. Hope you understand what I mean, ” she said firmly.

” Emily is not going anywhere. I don’t allow her to go” Adrian declared with a serious expression.

Katherine was awestruck by his words. She was clueless why he wanted Emily to stay with them. She looked at him to know the reason for taking this decision.

” You can leave this place, Mr Green. Your daughter has every right to make her decisions, ” Adrian informed him in a serious tone. Mr Green stood looking at Emily’s face but she turned away from him, showing her back.

Mr Green was disappointed and hurt by his daughter. He walked out of the Mansion by taking unsteady steps towards the main entrance. 

” Do you know what you have done? Instead of solving their misunderstanding, you worsen their relationship! ” Katherine yelled at Adrian.

” Kathie…You should stay out of this matter ” he said to her. Then he walked away from the place with a serious face whereas Emily went to the guest room. She was left alone in the living hall. She was still in shock at how he spoke with her. She felt humiliated in front of everyone. She stood rooted in the same place as a statue.

After a while, the head maid who worked for many years in the mansion came to her. She instructed all the other maids around them to resume back to their work.

” Kathie….baby … I never thought the master would behave rudely with you for the other woman. I am feeling so bad for you, ” she said with a sad face. She was so close as she had been working since her childhood in Kathie’s home.

When she heard her pitiful words, she wanted the ground to be open and swallow her. Till today, no maid in her mansion dares to talk about their family matters. She controlled her tears and glared at her. 

” I think that you should mind your work but not interfere in our matters. Go and look after the arrangements of breakfast, ” Katherine warned her and walked to their bedroom.

Once she stepped inside their bedroom, she sat on the bed as if her energy drained off her body. Adrian’s behaviour and the maid’s words were making her restless. A few minutes later, Adrian entered the bedroom and found his wife was in deep thoughts.

He knew that he was rude to her. But he had no other chance to tell his decision. He wanted to help Emily as she was the one who supported him when he needed to make the right decision in marrying Katherine. He could not forget Emily’s support when he broke the engagement with her and courageously faced society.

She noticed his presence in the same room. Their eyes met but immediately he broke the contact with her eyes.

His behaviour hurt more deeply to her heart. She sat silently noticing him. Meanwhile, he completed his morning routine. 

She felt ignored by Adrian as he was doing his work quietly. He knew very well that if he started conversing with her, it would lead to a fight or an argument. But Katherine’s patience was running out.

” I need an explanation from you.. Why are you not allowing Emily to go with her father? Will you tell me what should I understand about your decision? ” she asked, looking at him seriously.
