Upon first glance, Ron's dull eyes suddenly brightened. 'Is Emma alive?' he thought as a girl slowly approached. His initial hope faded as he got a clear view of her face. Even though she closely resembled Emma, her youthful and tender appearance made it clear she was not the one. Just like when he first met Emma, this girl's face lacked the marks of time, Emma's calm tranquility, and her determined look.Stepping forward, the girl said in a sweet, gentle voice, "My name is Rihanna."Ron reached out to touch the familiar face but hesitated, his hand hanging in the air. Seeing this, Regina and Carl stepped back, leaving Ron and Rihanna Blue alone. Ron's gaze remained fixed on the all-too-familiar face before him. Despite knowing she was not Emma, a yearning within him surged. He wished to hold her near. In a heavy, uncertain voice, he said, "Come a little closer."As instructed, Rihanna moved forward, stopping a short distance away from him."Extend your right hand," he commanded. R

Rihanna did not know much about Ron, having only heard rumors that he was a madman who could do anything. Regardless of whether the stories were true, it was better for her to keep her distance. "Can I see my sister?" she asked."You remember you have a sister?" It was rare for someone from the Blue family to remember Emma, to remember that they were here for her. "Too bad, she's turned to ashes." He pointed to a pile of ash before them, his smile dark and cold. "This is your sister now. You see it, don't you?"Rihanna's heart ached as she looked. Although she planned to act indifferent, tears fell uncontrollably. Ron watched her, seemingly moved by her genuine emotion."Look at me."Rihanna nodded. Although young, her eyes held no sparkle or life. Her face was the only thing she shared with Emma.He spoke again, "You stay.""Yes," Rihanna answered.Close by, Regina and Carl knew Ron let the girl stay. They smiled with relief. Carl said, "So Ron really does like girls like Emma.

He moved aside, watching her work in the garden. A unique flower caught her attention, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "Ronzie, what flower is this? I've never seen it before, can you tell me?" she asked.He did not know a thing about flowers. Not wanting to answer her question, he coldly met her bright gaze. "Who said you can call me Ronzie?" he snapped."But it's just a sweet nickname, isn't it okay to call you Ronzie?"Her big, sparkling eyes filled with confusion as she looked at him. Her voice was soft and gentle, especially when she said "Ronzie". It felt like a gentle tap on his heart. But he cruelly snuffed out the light in her eyes."You don't deserve to call me that."She never called him that again. Even after they got married, he tried everything to hear her use that name. During their closest moments in bed, he would ask, but she never did. She would not budge on this. He always knew Emma could hold a grudge.That day, he also inquired why she enjoyed watering

Ron blurted, "Did I really do something wrong? Even if I did, she shouldn't have left me like that."Rihanna did not know what Ron was talking about, and she was too scared to ask. She waited in silence, her mind filled with questions. She thought about her life and wondered if she would die young like her sister. She did not know if she could change her future by working hard. For now, she could only take things one step at a time. Feeling lost about her future, she jumped when Ron suddenly turned to look at her. His eyes looked so sharp, as if he could eat her up."I'm talking to you. Are you deaf or mute?" Ron's voice was cold and harsh.Rihanna felt his frightening look deep in her bones, making her heart pound. She did not know where she found the bravery to reply, "Is this how you always treated Emma?"This question hit Ron hard. He glared at Rihanna. "Wanting to die, are you?"Rihanna spoke up, her voice a whisper, "You threaten people for no reason. Did you kill Emma? She

"Do you want to keep going to school?" Ron asked.Rihanna was unsure of his intentions. She stared at him, afraid to speak her mind. She feared he might be like her family, discovering her true thoughts only to cruelly crush her hopes and try to turn her into a puppet.She did not answer, but Ron knew. "Do you want to go back to your parents?"Rihanna shook her head. "No," she said clearly. If Ron sent her back, she would not be able to continue school, and her parents would consider her useless. She did not know who her parents might make her marry in the future. To avoid this, she knew she had to leave her family first.Ron looked at her. "I see you really don't want to go back. And you don't want to be with me either. So, what do you want to do?" Before Rihanna could fabricate a lie, Ron stopped her. "Don't try to lie. You can't fool me."Unable to lie, Rihanna said honestly, "I want to keep going to school. I don't want to be controlled by them anymore or turned into a woman w

It seemed like Xander and Ron had some weird connection. Just as Ron ended the call, Xander, fresh from the shower and wrapped in a towel, let out a sneeze. Despite her annoyance with him, Abigail's worry kicked in. She did not want Xander catching a cold, so she quickly handed him a dry towel. "Sit down," she said. "I'll help dry your hair."Xander had this annoying habit: he would not dry his hair after showering. He would emerge, hair dripping water everywhere. Despite this, Abigail found it hard to look away from the sight of him fresh out of the shower. It was undeniably attractive. She wished she could just hold him close and forget about everything else."Are you not mad at me anymore?" Xander asked.Abigail huffed, glaring at him, "Let me dry your hair first, then I'll go back to being mad."Xander's laughter filled the room. Gently, he lifted Abigail into his arms and moved her against the wall. "Remember us talking about having a baby? What do you think?"Caught by surpr

'Ugh! It's all Xander's fault. We have to go out, and he kissed me until my lips swelled,' Abigail thought."Still going?" Xander asked.Blushing, Abigail stood firm. "Yes! Dr. Watson is already here. Let him check you, and then we'll leave.""I said I don't need it," Xander replied, a bit annoyed. "Don't decide for me, especially about doctors.""You're an adult, not a child," Abigail said. "See the doctor, take your medicine, and rest when you should. Don't always say it's fine when it's not.""I know my body best, so please stop interfering," Xander said.Abigail was annoyed by him once again.Half an hour later, Abigail and Xander arrived again at the building destroyed by Ron. Lucas and Alwyn were waiting there. Everyone had different looks on their faces when they saw the couple. Some looked happy, while others looked worried.Stella and Susie were the happy ones. "Abigail!" Seeing them, Abigail exclaimed, "Stella! Susie!" Susie rushed to Abigail and hugged her tightly. S

Xander was not sure what Ron was planning this time. He felt for Ron, who was grieving his wife's loss, so he did not argue with him. "How's everything with Emma? If you need help, let me know."Ron gave a small laugh. "Mr. Zane, how are things with Emma? Don't you know better than I?"Alwyn jumped in, "Ron, why are you being so mean to Xander?"Ron replied, "Mean? If your wife had died today, I bet you'd be upset too, maybe even want to lash out at someone, right?"Alwyn responded, "What are you trying to say? Are you blaming Xander for Emma's death? We understand that you're grieving, but you shouldn't be this harsh. Maybe you should think about why Emma left in the first place."Ron coldly glanced over everyone. "So why did you all come here? To blame me?"Even Alwyn, known for his good temper, was getting angry. "Do you have to be so mean, Ron? If you think we're here to mock or blame you, then know we're just trying to help."Ron said, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, you all are ri

Emma turned and dashed into the bathroom. She cranked the faucet on and splashed water on her face, aiming to soothe her nerves.Although they were engaged, they were still too young, with countless uncertainties looming over their future. The possibility of actually walking down the aisle was up in the air.Decisions made in a rush of happiness could eventually become sources of regret. And Emma knew all too well that she couldn't afford any regrets.She thought that fortunately, Ron hadn't pushed things further, which gave her time to cool off.After freshening up, Emma stepped out to find Ron on the balcony, a cigarette in hand.She couldn't resist chiding him, "I've told you to cut down on smoking. Why can't you seem to remember?"This time, Ron complied, snuffing out the cigarette. "We should get some sleep. We've got to put our best foot forward when we meet your family tomorrow.""Okay, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed," Emma responded.Ron simply replied, "As y

Ron looked at her dawdling pace with disdain. "If you, a lady, can handle it, why can't I, a grown man, stay?"His words sounded noble, but Ron regretted them the moment they arrived at the hotel.Despite now earning a decent income, Emma was still reluctant to spend money.This place was hardly a hotel; it was clearly a budget inn charging only a few dozen bucks a night. The hygiene was questionable at best, and safety seemed like a gamble.Ron turned on his heel, dragging her suitcase behind him. "We're leaving, now.""It's too late, and we can't get a refund for the room.""Are you trying to get us killed?"Emma fell silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of frustration. 'I told him he wouldn't be used to cheap places. He insisted on coming with me, and now he won't even let me stay here alone. Why is he so annoying?'However, considering Ron had rushed over in the middle of the night to help her, Emma decided not to hold it against him.Ron picked the best hotel in the area—the

Rebekah glanced over at Ron; she exchanged a knowing look with him before saying, "I'll have someone tidy up the rooms. Why don't you two stay here tonight and keep me company?"Ron replied simply, "Sure."Emma had purchased a midnight flight back to South Florivera, necessitating a rush to the airport, which made staying over after dinner impossible.Yet, she found herself at a loss for words, struggling to decline Rebekah's kind offer.As she hesitated, Ron stepped in to clear the air. "Mom, I've got something on tonight. After dinner, I'll drive Emma back to her dorm."Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "What's so important?" she wondered aloud, thinking, 'Wasn't he the one insisting Emma stay over? What's he up to now?'Ron kept it mysterious. "Life stuff."Rebekah could not help but chide him lightly, "You, always the joker."Right after dinner, Ron insisted on leaving to take Emma back to her dormitory. But as soon as they were out of the gated community, he asked, "So, you reall

Ron chuckled. "I didn't know you were aware that even a cornered rat will fight."Emma shot him a glare. "Are we going or not?"Ron quickly said, "Of course. When Miss Blue commands, how can I dare not obey?"Fearing another of his notorious driving escapades, Emma hastily buckled her seatbelt as she settled into the car.Thankfully, this time Ron kept it smooth, driving steadily.As they neared their destination, Ron finally spoke up, "You know, that Tucker guy is a married man. Don't let his kindness fool you into being the other woman."Emma's gaze on Ron was fiery, seething with anger. "Do you even hear yourself? Is that what you think of me? For the last time: Tucker and I share nothing more than a mentor-mentee relationship. There's nothing else between us.""I'm just looking out for you, worried you might get deceived," Ron said, witnessing Emma's fury for the first time. Yet, he could not help but find her anger not at all intimidating, but rather endearingly foolish.R

The two sisters had a pact: no cell phones at home to keep their secrets from the prying eyes of the Blue family. Thus, Emma could call only at prearranged times, the sole window for Rihanna to catch up.Rihanna's voice bubbled with excitement over the phone, as she chattered away about her life's minutiae.Knowing Rihanna was doing well eased Emma's mind.Just as Emma was about to end the call, she heard Rihanna's voice, soft and wistful. "You're really not coming home for the holidays? If you don't, I'll be all alone."Emma's heart clenched at those words, and she made up her mind in an instant. "I'll come back the day before New Year's Eve."The Blue family had their hands full with festivities that day, too busy to notice Rihanna's absence. Emma figured slipping back unnoticed then would be her best shot.After hanging up, Emma immediately booked a flight from Valtara to South Florivera. With her ticket secured and her last bit of work finished, Emma prepared to leave her off

Emma had no interest in romance, let alone the audacity to dream that Ron might fancy her.This time, she did not pick up the thread of conversation.After dinner, Ron, as usual, drove Emma back to the university.Before parting, Ron said, "Winter break is almost upon us, and the dorms might be off-limits. Are you sure you don't want to stay at my place for a couple of months?"Emma offered a smile in response. "Thanks for the offer. I've spoken with the dorm supervisor and submitted an application in advance. I'll be able to stay over the holiday period."Ron paused before saying, "Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll text you my number in a bit; make sure you save it."Emma nodded. "Sure."Without further ado, Ron drove off.Upon returning to her dorm, Emma saw Evelyn and Cassie, busy packing their bags, surrounded by gifts for their parents bought from Valtara.Evelyn asked Emma, "Are you really not going home for the winter break?"Emma replied, "No, I won't

Emma did not have the guts to risk failure because she did not have a safe haven to fall back on.Lucas kicked Ron in the shin. "Come on, if you fancy her, out with it. No Hagrid heir dithers like this."Ron glared at him. "Mind your own business." In his head, Emma was already his. The thought of losing her was unimaginable.Lucas said, "Without my meddling, she'd never be yours."Ron changed the subject. "I called you here for a serious discussion."Lucas replied, "No matter how serious, it can't outweigh the matter of your lifetime happiness."Ron was exasperated. "Lucas!"Lucas relented. "Alright, alright, you talk, I'm all ears."Ron spelled out Emma's music venture with Tucker. After hearing it all, Lucas could not help but see Emma in a new light."Never pegged Emma as such a dark horse," Lucas said.Silently listening to their conversation, Emma was thrilled to have her work recognized.Lucas said, "But, getting back to it, whether a song makes money, and how much, d

Ron barked, "Lucas!"With a chuckle, Lucas responded, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing Emma. I'm starving. Let's grab some food and talk business while we eat."Ron snapped, "Get lost!"Lucas could not help but revel in Ron's frustration. "Ron, have you fallen so quickly? Who was it that told me they would never accept an arranged marriage?"Emma was increasingly confused by their banter. "If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can just take a cab and leave."Ron said, "Call you dumb and you won't admit it!"Emma thought to herself, 'I didn't want to be a third wheel, cramping their style. Was that really so wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.'Suddenly, Ron grabbed Emma's hand and led her inside. "It's cold out; let's go inside."Emma had to quicken her pace, practically being dragged along.Seeing them together, Lucas laughed heartily from behind. "Ron, oh Ron, never thought I'd see the day.""Don't laugh too soon. Your day is coming," Ron shot back.Th

Emma said, "Okay."Ron asked, "Have you won over your crush?"Lucas responded, "Secret."Ron replied, "Looks like you haven't won her over."Lucas said, "As long as I make a move, there's no girl I can't win over. But I haven't made a move yet because the timing isn't right."Ron asked, "Is it because of the Sandow family?"Lucas answered, "The Sandow family wants to marry their daughter to me, and my family wants me to marry her too. But I've told them long ago that I'm not willing to do that. Nobody can make me marry a girl I don't like."Emma remained silent. 'I didn't expect that Lucas would also have the same problem as me and Ron.'It seems like the wealthier the family, the more they'll arrange marriages based on social status without considering personal preferences.'Lucas seemed to sense Emma's thoughts. "Emma, my situation with the Sandow girl is different from yours and Ron's. Don't lump us together."Ron looked at Emma and suddenly said, "There isn't any other gi
