A Miracle Fault

Chapter 4 Marry As a Substitute

Agnes immediately put it back on Emmeline's hands, "here you go." Then she turned around and stared at Antonio, pretending to be mad.

"Come on, you are so biased! Why do you only offer the gift to Emmeline? What about us?" Agnes stared at Antonio with her big eyes. Her hair was short but beautiful.

Seeing that Emmeline took it box and put it into her bag, Antonio looked at her with a smile.

He totally indulged himself into happiness. He held her hands, looking caring. Then he turned around and said to Agnes, "Your Mr. Right will present you the gift when you find him!"

"Wow, how infatuated!" Lena also pretended to be a bit mad.

Antonio just turned his back on them and took Emmeline out of the gate, "Emmeline, let's go. Let me walk your home."

"No, thanks. You are going to practice your soccer skills, right? I remember that there will be a match next week." Emmeline followed him out of the gate with a blushed face.

"Come on, walking you home is more important. Emmeline, I will graduate a year later. When I settle down in America, you will graduate too. When the day comes, let's be together, okay?"

Antonio was the Prince Charming of all girls in the university. He was about 6 feet tall. When Emmeline was admitted to the university a year ago, he was crazily infatuated with her.

From then on, he did all his best to chase after her. Half a year later, Emmeline was finally moved by him and agreed to be his girlfriend.

Antonio was so thrilled at that moment. Then they started a heated relationship in the campus. Because of jealousy, all the other girls in the university hated Emmeline and refused to talk to her. Only

Agnes and Lena still remained to be her best friends.

All of them had sworn to stay together as best friends for a lifetime and share everything they had.

Soon, Emmeline and Antonio reached the gate of Byrne Mansion while walking and talking happily.

"Emmeline, time to go home. See you tomorrow." Antonio lowered his head to kiss on her forehead.

Smiling, she stared at this sunny boy with a bag on his back. A trace of sweetness slowly rose in her heart.

All her difficulties had gone since she met him. She was really grateful to him for the happiness he brought to her.

"Time to go back, Antonio." She waved at him, "See you tomorrow!"

"Bye!" Antonio stood still with his back on the sunset, smiling tenderly. The love even surged up on his face.

Seeing that Emmeline walked into the mansion, he then turned around and left.

When she just walked in, she saw Lucia and Anayah sitting on the couch. She noticed, "Mom, sis. I am back."

When she was about to go upstairs to finish her homework, she was suddenly stopped by Lucia, "Emmeline, come over here. Let's have a talk."

Emmeline put down the bag and sat opposite them, looking cautious. Staring at her, Lucia seemed to be evil.

"Emmeline, how long have you been here? What do you think about the family?" Lucia fixed her eyes on her. Seeing that Emmeline was more and more beautiful as she grew up, she was even more

jealous.

"I have been here for 15 years. Mom, I feel good here." She raised her watery eyes, which were blue and glowing like shining stars in the night sky. Her delicate face, tiny nose and rosy lips were really ravishing and intoxicating.

Lucia suddenly glared at her, "You are lying!"

"You have been living a tough life here! But you said you felt good? Emmeline, now here is a nice choice expecting you, by which you can leave here and live a better life."

When hearing that, Emmeline couldn't help pinching the armrest of the sofa hard, "Mom, I will graduate two years later. And I will then find a job and move out!"

She just wanted to stay till she graduated. Then Antonio would take her to America. So she couldn't move out now.

"Emmeline, let me tell you. You don't need to wait for two years. I will go to talk to your dad and make you the daughter-in-law of the Byrne Family. Then you will live a much better life."

While speaking, Lucia took a glimpse at Anayah, on the face of whom shown a trace of disdain.

Emmeline was rendered stunned, "The Byrne Family? It should be sister, right?"

"Yeah. Though it should be your sister, she still chose to offer you such a nice chance. Now you just need to marry Stefan Byrne." Lucia pretended to be reluctant.

"No, mom! It should be sister's privilege! I can't marry him!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Emmeline was suddenly rendered flustered. She felt like being locked down in a huge prison.

She had no idea what she was about to face.

"Just do as we said! Stop the crap!" Anayah, who remained silent for a while, suddenly huffed while sitting up straight and staring at her.

"Hey, Mrs. Stefan, did you hear that? I offer you such a nice chance! You have to be grateful to me! Emmeline, that's your fate! You have no choice!"

When Anayah was about to go upstairs, she suddenly turned around, "Hey, the wedding will be held a week later. Get prepared, Mrs. Stefan!"

Emmeline sat still and stared at her fading away from the stairs.

"Emmeline, your sister is not willing to marry him. Since we have brought your up, just do as I said and show no reluctance. Just make it a return for our raising your up. And don't tell your dad that you don't want to marry!" Lucia stood up and stared at her.

"But mom, they only ask for Anayah! And I still need to go to the campus! Besides, Frank and she love each other!" Emmeline knew that Anayah had been the girlfriend of Frank.

"You are going to marry Stefan Byrne, not Frank. Remember, you don't need to go to the campus tomorrow. Just get prepared during these days." After saying that, Lucia turned around and left the parlor.

'Stefan Byrne? Who is he?' Emmeline seemed to remember that there was a cripple living on the Soul Island owned by the Byrne Family. And that cripple should be Stefan Byrne. But she had never met him.

No! How could that be! She would never marry him! What was going on? She had to ask her father about it!

Why? Why did she still know nothing about it? She never had the right to decide on her own since she was five.

Now she finally found her Mr. Right, Antonio. And she was forced into another life again?

Emmeline just ate some food in the kitchen and waited for Nicholas in the parlor.

Nicholas didn't come back until 9:00 PM. He pushed the door opened and saw Emmeline sitting on the couch.

He frowned, "Emmeline, why don't you go to bed?"

Emmeline stood up and took the suitcase from Nicolas. She placed it on the couch and said, "Dad, I am waiting for you."

"Well, what's the matter?" Nicholas sat beside her and stroked her hairs when seeing that she looked upset.

"Dad, mom told me to marry Stefan Byrne. Is it true?" Her big eyes seemed to shine under the dim light.

Nicholas was rendered stunned. He lowered his head, "Don't listen to her! It should be your sister who will marry him! Just stay focus on your study."
