Wife’s Return English Novel Chapter 61
Chapter 61 Do You Need Company? Finished: Emma’s behavior left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth. The spotlight was on Olivia, with everyone praising her beauty and maturity. Despite Emma’s mistake, Olivia even apologized to Mr. Bovril, showing her grace and forgiveness. In comparison, Emma paled in significance. “Wasn’t Emma getting married to Mr. Carter? Why isn’t he sticking up for her? Did they break up?” “It was just a rumor anyway. The Carters never confirmed it, so who knows?” People were whispering and laughing at Emma behind her back. Her face turned white with embarrassment. She couldn’t take it anymore and left the party, tears in her eyes. The whole time, Nathan didn’t even look at her.
