On the day of the first month party, John brought the entire family along as previously agreed.
In the past, Emily would try to avoid having to go out because she was fearful of her stepmother. The less she interacted with her stepmother, the more carefree she felt, and eventually Emily gave an impression that she preferred being alone and she was rebellious and rude. Others were happy to see Lily, but they would be judgmental towards Emily, so Emily began to hate going for gatherings, and didn’t like having to mix around with her so-called ‘relatives’.
But that was in her previous life.
When he knew that Emily was attending a party, Ethan sent a tailored long blue dress over the day before. It seemed conservative since it was a long dress, but it carried an air of mysterious beauty about it too, accentuating the best of Emily, making her look unforgettable.
Emily didn’t want to accept a present from Ethan since Henry had already been called back home by his father urgently and she didn’t need to worry about him. But Ethan was very clever and guessed that Emily wouldn’t want the clothes that Roseline prepared for her. Since his present had addressed a concern she had, it was hard to reject this gift.
Emily decided not to make a fuss, so she owed Ethan one.
Roseline had indeed prepared a dress that didn’t quite suit Emily, because she didn’t want Emily to steal the limelight from her own daughter. But Emily had her own dress and so her plans went up in smoke.
At the Youngs’ house, countless guests started arriving. There were people greeting the guests in the front of the house, but the head of the Youngs gathered his family members at the back annex of the house, as if he was waiting for someone to appear.
The head of the Youngs was already over sixty, but his eyes still sparkled brightly, and was definitely no simple man.
He had three sons, three grandsons and five granddaughters, so he was considered blessed.
His eldest daughter-in-law, Charlotte, came in smiling and asked, “Dad, we’re so busy outside! Why did you call us here instead of greeting the guests??”
The other sons and their wives were also looking confusedly at the head of the household, Lucius Young.
“Roseline is coming back today. I heard that there was some unhappiness in their house and John wants to divorce her over it, so all of you sit here obediently! Then when John arrives, all of you better advise him otherwise – what right does he have to bring up divorce!”
One of them quietly pouted – only heaven knows what drug Roseline fed the old man, so much that he was so mindful of her, interfering with the Petrov family again and again, treating this illegitimate daughter better than his sons!!
But on the surface, everyone pretended to get along well.
“Roseline called me earlier, she’s almost here!” said the old man’s third son- today was his son’s first month celebration.
Speak of the devil – John and his family were brought to the back annex without explanation. When he saw that the hall was filled with a large group of people, John’s eyes flickered but he still smiled and pulled his daughter along to greet them.
Lily and Roseline happily went to sit with the head of the Youngs, as if they had found their rightful place. Meanwhile, Emily and John continued standing where they were, and it was very awkward for them.
But everyone in the house continued to smile and laugh, as if they didn’t treat anyone as an outsider and were friendly with everyone.
Emily suddenly understood why the Youngs were gathered here instead of entertaining the guests outside.
“Ah, my son-in-law…have a seat!” The old man said this while smiling, but he continued sitting along the wall, and got someone to bring some chairs over. Two chairs were for Lily and Roseline to sit beside him, while Emily and John sat right in the middle of the hall, as if they were on trial.
John kept a smile on as he asked, “Why is everyone here?? No need to talk to the guests in front??”
The eldest daughter-in-law, Charlotte, was full of smiles as she said, “There are some younger ones doing so, it’s good practice for them!”
The head of the Youngs nodded, “That’s right, it’s only a small matter anyway. I’ve called you here because I have some things to talk to you about…”
He patted Roseline’s hand and his voice became serious.
“I hear you want to divorce Roseline??”
Even though they had covered up the scandal, the head of the Youngs definitely knew about it. But he pretended not to know anything about it, instead he looked like a caring father trying to speak up for his daughter.
John’s expression darkened, but he had calmed down quite a bit after his initial angry outburst when the matter happened. Besides, he was now in the Youngs’ house, and he had to suppress any unhappiness he had. “No…I only said that in a fit of anger.”
The old man snorted. “I’m glad you understand. Which married couple doesn’t quarrel?? It’s a bit too much to mention divorce. The Youngs have always stood united as a family, and we’ve never had anything as scandalous as a divorce!”
John’s face started to look nasty. It was hard for him to accept this treatment as a man – he was being disciplined in his wife’s house, and the judgmental looks from the rest of the Youngs were hard to bear…but he clenched his fists and tolerated it, and he could only remain silent for now.
Emily was seated beside him and couldn’t help but laugh. This wasn’t the first time something like this was happening.
The Youngs were a very domineering bunch, plus they had power in business and numbers, so they were much stronger than the Petrovs.
John was a softhearted and pliable man, and after being molded by Roseline for more than a decade, the Petrovs became more and more like an appendage to the Youngs, and this sort of disciplining happened now and then.
Roseline’s elder brother, Elijah Young, humphed unhappily when he saw Emily laughing. “Children should be quiet when adults are talking, what are you laughing at!”
His fierce questioning was aimed directly at Emily.
Elijah was Lucas’s father, so he was now the main pillar of the Youngs, and he had a much stronger presence compared to John.
“What?? I can’t even laugh now??”
